Minecraft 13w09a & 13w09b!

UPDATE:

Jens has posted 13w09c and said that they will shoot to get the pre-release out next week! I will have a 13w09c post soon.

MAIN POST:

This week snapshot is out! It's a bit late because of Mojam but it is here, and that's all that counts. A few days ago @Jeb_ tweeted that 1.5 (The Redstone Update) should be out early March. Jens also said there may be a pre-release today or Friday! That mean that most of the new things are bug fixes. That's also why I missed the last few snapshots. Tell me if you want to see the bug fix update! So with all that said here is the change log:

 

13w09a

 

Improved fonts

• Fonts are now changeable
• Added HD font support

Smooth Lighting can now be changed to Minimum, Maximum & Off

• Minimum uses the old Smooth Lighting, and Maximum fixes a bug with stairs

Animated blocks and items in texture packs now require the animation definition

Updated language files

A way for mobs/entities to ride other mobs/entities

• They no longer dismount upon reload
• Mobs can now be spawned riding other mobs
• Allows for a lot of customization
  • An example is a "flying" minecart that can still be rideable by spawning a bat with a minecart on top

Players riding on an entity will keep it when logging off (the entity will disappear along with you) and will still be riding the entity upon logging back on
