13w04a is the sixth snapshot released for Java Edition 1.5.[1]
An experimental version of 13w04a was released by Dinnerbone on Mojira to try and fix a white line bug.[2]
Additions[]
Mobs[]
- General
- Mobs now show the name given to them, either by anviling on their Spawn Egg or external editors, above their head when the player looks directly at them within a circular 6 block radius.
Command format[]
- A new command feature.
- Not 100% done yet.
- The scoreboard can be used to track deaths, players killing another player, players killing something a mob, or players activating commands.
- The complicated system uses a combination of name, display name, and criteria, and track an integer number of points for players.
Changes[]
Blocks[]
- Now use their name instead of @ in the chat.
- Now can face in all directions.
- Now equip players with armor from one block away.
- They now activate TNT.
- They now use bone meal.
- They now use flint and steel.
- This will accurately decrease the durability of the tool.
- Now can face in all directions.
- Can now be used with jukeboxes.
- Output signal strength relates to the disk number.
- 43:8 will now be the "smooth stone full half-slab block" and will remain so.
- Generally: If the top bit is set, the top texture will be used on all sides, also allowing for smooth sandstone full half-slab blocks (43:9).
Items[]
- Held armor can be equipped by right-clicking.
- In this particular snapshot, this functionality is very faulty, prone to crashing and incorrect slot usage.
- It will be fixed in the next snapshot.
- No longer gives instant growth – instead, each use advances one growth stage:
- Crops require seven bone meal.
- Saplings and Cocoa Beans require two bone meal to grow into Trees and Cocoas, respectively.
- Brown and Red Mushrooms still grow into Huge Mushrooms instantly.
- Gives off green particles when used.
- Note: Dinnerbone has stated that he still has to balance out this new bonemeal growth system.[3]
Mobs[]
- General
- Mobs will not actively path over rails.
Gameplay[]
- The player can now hit mobs/players from five blocks away.
