Minecraft 1.2

-from Jason-

If we update to 1.2 here are some benefits that give me a bit of wood... (from http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Upcoming_features)

Survival MultiPlayer mob hitboxes are fixed, so they apply to the full mob, instead of only the head.[1] No longer have to hug zombies to hit them... Blaze room can be dealt with manually now too..

Maximum build height increased to 256 (was 128). I LOVE THIS!!!!

Added Redstone Lamp (light switches!!!!)

Slabs can now be placed upside-down. no need for double half-slab for stairs so your entire house's horizontal surfaces can be made of half-slabs and nothing will spawn inside even in total darkness.

Stairs should also have same change.

When crafting Slabs, you now get 6 instead of 3.

Added rare Item drops for mobs.


Zombie skeleton shave a rare chance to drop a Iron Ingot, Iron Helmet, Iron Shovel, or an Iron Sword.

Skeletons have a rare chance to drop a Bow or an Enchanted Bow.

Zombie Pigmen have a rare chance to drop a Golden Helmet, Gold Ingot, Golden Sword, or an Enchanted Golden Sword


You can also use tamed cats in/around your house to ward off creepers as creepers "should" run from them.

Random as they die creeper explosions "should" have been fixed.

Creeper Reaper will be broken, as mobs no longer consider transparent blocks (ladders/signs etc) as a full block and idiotically walk over them if the fall is too great. new level layout will still work, but we'd have to convert the Reaper's bottom half to a new system for it to work effectively in this patch.

There are a lot of interesting updates to consider.
