13w02b is the fourth snapshot for Java Edition 1.5, released on January 11, 2013^[2] to fix some of the bugs and crashes in the 13w02a snapshot.

Activator rails

• Changed crafting recipe.
  • Now includes two sticks and a redstone torch, as well as the 6 iron ingots.
• Dinnerbone stated the previous crafting recipe was not intended.^[3]

Chests

• Large/double chests can now release a redstone signal when connected to a comparator depending on the number of stacks within.
  • Before, double chests would only emit a signal depending on how full each individual chest was (a double chest with only the top half full would emit a full signal from the side that the items were in).

Hoppers

• Powering the block now also stops it from taking in items (see comparison between 13w02a and 13w02b).^[4]

Trapped chests

• Can now transmit signal downward through one block. This does not apply horizontally (through walls).^[5]
