Minecraft Beta 1.2

New features:
* Note blocks (right click to tune, trigger to play)
* 15 wool dyes
* A new water dwelling mob
* New tree types
* Reeds magically turned into sugar canes. They still make paper.
* A bunch of new crafting recipes
* One secret useful block
* One secret pretty block
* Cake
* AND MOAR, probably. I forget!

Bugfixes:
* Paintings work in multiplayer
* Disconnecting while riding no longer keeps the player in the world
* A bunch more state is properly synched in multiplayer
* Fixed colors going weird on PowerPC
* Fixed a horrible chunk reload loop in singleplayer
* Fixed most lighting bugs in newly generated SMP maps
* Falling sand behaves better in SMP

Please be patient as we anticipate the official release of Bukkit. We are running bukkit now but it has not been officially released. This is the development version.

We are not running the latest version of Minecraft becuase Bukkit has not been released. We are still running our original minecraft server so you can rollback and play http://www.minecraftaddicts.com/content.php/73-REVERTED-TO-ALPHA-Client-1.2.6-Required

...

ROLLBACK your minecraft.jar to connect to the server. Since minecraft automatically updates your client you will need to download the old client and force it not to update. http://www.minecraftaddicts.com/content.php/73-REVERTED-TO-ALPHA-Client-1.2.6-Required

The rollback instructions at that link, besides having conflicting information about alpha vs beta, has a download link for Alpha, not for Beta 1.1_02, which is what we need to connect to the server.

I have a functioning Beta 1.1_02 minecraft.jar with Zan's minimap mod already patched in, if you'd like to use it.

I have a clean version of the beta on my computer if you'd like it as well.

Thanks!

Sorry if this wasn't clear. http://www.minecraftaddicts.com/content.php/73-REVERTED-TO-ALPHA-Client-1.2.6-Required
