Snapshot 12w24a

[Lemon]

This has been a busy week! We’ve moved to our new office, it looks great but is still far from finished. We were still able to squeeze in some work on Minecraft, so here’s the new snapshot:

• You can now use “/publish” to open your single-player game for LAN friends to join. This is still very much work in progress, so it lacks some necessary settings such as what game mode your friends will get, and if they should be able to use cheats or not. Also, the “/publish” command is temporary, you can’t even access it if you haven’t enabled cheats =)
• The Ender Chest has been changed to have an inventory per player and not per world. Also, knocking down the chest will break it into 8 obsidian, unless you have Silk Touch.
• The texture pack folder button now works on Mac
• A lot of smaller changes and fixes

This snapshot is ok, but Minecraft 1.3 is just around the corner! I can't wait and I will have all the news right here in the Minecraft News Forum...
