12w08a is the eighth and the final snapshot for Java Edition 1.2.1, released on February 23, 2012,[1] which adds iron golems and debug camera controls.
Additions
Mobs
- New utility mob.
- One iron golem may spawn in a village for every 16 villagers
- Can also be spawned by arranging 4 iron blocks and a pumpkin.
General
Controls
- Added camera controls.
- These were accidentally added. Jeb noted them as "deadmau5 camera" controls and would likely be removed again in an upcoming snapshot.[2][3]
- Pressing F6 causes the player to get "stuck" to the camera until F6 is pressed again. This allows players to appear to phase into blocks.
- Pressing F9 causes the camera to freeze in its position, allowing to see the player model rotating in third person view.
- Pressing Y, H, U, O, I, K, J, L, N and M change the camera positioning in a variety of ways. While pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time the camera may be reset (example: Y + H reverts that view back to normal, but U + O does not).
Changes
Blocks
- Can now be placed upside-down.
World generation
General
- Lava ponds and flat stone areas now generate on the surface more frequently.
General
- Removed some Canadian English stereotypes.
Fixes
1 bug fixed
