13w12~ refers to two debug snapshots for Java Edition 1.5.1, released on March 19, 2013, that attempted to fix an issue with the frame rate dropping significantly when using smooth lighting. The first debug snapshot was unsuccessful,[1] while the second debug snapshot was successful in fixing this bug.[2] The first snapshot was released on Mojira as a "temporary snapshot",[3] which is why these snapshots do not follow regular naming conventions.

These snapshots were only released as clients; no corresponding server was released. However, these snapshots share their protocol version number with snapshots 13w09c through 13w11a, meaning that 13w12~ can connect to servers running any of those snapshots.

Fixes

1 issue fixed

  • MC-8824 – FPS drop due to smooth lighting.[note 1][note 2]

Trivia

  • The first upload of this version holds the record for the least amount of changes in a snapshot, almost changing nothing.
  • These are the first snapshots to break the naming convention set by every snapshot, since they don't include a letter at the end.

Notes

  1. ↑ This bug was fixed in the reupload of this version.
  2. ↑ Marked as fixed in 1.5.1 at the bug tracker.
