-Added cocoa plants to jungle trees, :D
-Sandstone Stairs
-Blocks have proper names, e.g. Oak Wood Planks

-Silk touch can be used on glass and ice again
-Large biomes world type
-Fixed the mobs being glitched through walls in SMP
-You can burn wooden tools as fuel now
-Dispensers now place boats and minecarts, lava, and water!
-Thrown items (press q) on the ground stack together to prevent lag
-Villagers from spawning eggs have a random job
-Cocoa beans have new texture
-Wood slabs are now like wood, not stone.
-Shift-clicking for brewing stands
-Shift-clicking for armor
-Creative inventory is now organized, with new tabs and search system
-Pick block for creative mode

-Single player are now servers :( Dam you jeb
-Cheat mode in SSP
-Option when creating world for bonus chest, which contains useful stuff to help you in your new world.
-Empty buckets stack to 16 now
-Hardcore SMP!
-Better world gen in SMP
-Fixed fishing rod lines in SMP
-Demo mode for non-premium players
-Book and quill, writable books!
-Changed book recipe, it's shapeless, but requires leather.
-Gravel has new texture
-Dispensers also suck water and lava into it if there is an empty bucket inside.
-Potions are added to the creative inventory
-Modding API pushed to 1.4 :( for me
-Updated languages
-Or course new content = more bugs
-Lots of bug fixes
-Moving far away from villagers and going back to them changes their profession to farmer.
-Trip wires! Traps FTW
-Adventure mode!
-Jungle Temples
-Emerald blocks
-Rain now drips through leaves, I like this :D
-Smelting w/ a lava bucket doesn't use up the bucket now
-Placing half slabs is easier now (aim at top block to make the half slab be placed at the top)
-Pressing the F key reloads the world (bye-bye world holes!)
-Enchanting level max decreased to 30
-Mining all ores besides iron and gold, smelting something in a furnace, and earning achievements gains you experience (a bit OP in my opinion, got to level 113 in less than an hour!)
-Rain slowly fills cauldrons.
-Nether portals have an extremely rare chance to spawn a zombie pigman
-Server commands changed
-Priests can offer to enchant your items (via trading)
-Kicking people crashes their client :P
-Boats are faster
-Ender portal frames added to creative inventory


What do you think?
I think this would be fine without the single player server crap.

Did you copy this from somewhere or did you compile it yourself?

Can you confirm a source quoting that the modding API is delayed to 1.4?

Thanks for that source, good to know.

Good job on that great list of all these new additions, what a major update eh? I'm loving all of these new features and looking forward to the official release of 1.3

Pity about the modding API being pushed back, but it makes sense with all of these updates to move it back.

I know the single player server thing is weird and buggy right now, but I think once it is finished it will be a useful feature for all those people who have problems making a server.
