Additions

Gameplay

Sounds

  • Added proper hurt animations and sounds to mobs and players.

Changes

Blocks

Lever

  • Animates properly when activated.

Stone button

  • Animates properly when activated.

Stone pressure plate

  • Animates properly when activated.

Wooden pressure plate

  • Animates properly when activated.

Mobs

Creepers

  • Creepers now animate before exploding.
    • Explosions animate properly.

Skeletons

  • Skeletons now shoot their arrows way above their heads, rather than from inside their heads.
    • This leads to a skeleton's arrows firing further than before, but now if a skeleton were to stand in a 2 block tall space. The arrows will spawn inside the blocks above the skeleton, and immediately collide with them.

Gameplay

Multiplayer

  • The multiplayer join server screen now remembers the latest entered IP.

General

  • Increased chunk saving frequency on the server.
  • The player can now see sneaking players. Names of sneaking players aren't visible through walls, and are visible at a much shorter distance.

Fixes

9 bugs fixed

  • Leaving sneak mode no longer rapidly plays all the step sounds that it silenced during the sneak.
  • Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly.
  • Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts.
  • Made arrows visible and deal damage.
  • No more infinite free arrows.
  • Hoes now produce proper seeds.
  • Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it.
  • Fixed minecarts and pigs moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.
  • Hostile mobs now correctly look up or down at their target when attacking, depending on their current elevation.

Bugs

Creepers being the only mob that spawns at night
  • This version had leftover debug code that caused creepers to be the only mob that would spawn. This was later fixed with the release of Alpha v1.2.4_01.
