12w27a is the fourteenth snapshot released for Java Edition 1.3.1.
Additions[]
Command format[]
/debug <start|stop>
- Starts/stops debug profiling.
Changes[]
Blocks[]
- Updated pistons to make them less error-prone, thus they also appear to update slower.
- This also altered the way pistons work, so the player might have to adapt their repeater delays and similar.
- For this change, pistons now take 2 redstone ticks (4 game ticks) to expand, but they still retract instantly.
- Signs are stackable up to 16.
- Crafting them now gives 3 signs instead of 1 with the same recipe.
Non-mob entities[]
- Boats now drop the boat item when destroyed by a player.
Gameplay[]
- Creative inventory now shows status effects.
- Gaining experience from mining ore is now different for each type of ore (mining coal ore will give the player the least amount while diamond ore & emerald ore will give the most amount of XP).
