Minecraft 1.2.4 is out.

Mojang have just released an update to Minecraft, bringing us to 1.2.4.

This update is primarily a bug fix release but does include some nice improvements as well:
Fixed:

• Made placing half blocks on existing half blocks (to make a full block) easier
• Limit framerate on menu screens, no longer uses 100% cpu and make my computer melt
• Fixed fatal crash for converted worlds to anvil, when there’s blocks at max height
• Fixed an old bug with signs clearing text while you’re editing them in SMP
• Fixed crash when logging in while there are blocks at maxheight at spawn
• Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer
• Fixed storage minecarts dropping enchanted items
• Fixed crashes on invalid server addresses when joining a server
• Fixed entities being uninteractable if they existed at login (Multiplayer)
• Fixed dupe exploit with paintings
• Fixed furnaces and dispensers dropping enchanted items
• Fixed the “flickering” of chat as it vanishes off the screen
• Fixed text rendering over items in the container screens
• Fixed exploit with jungle saplings (turns other saplings into jungle ones)
• Fixed launcher opening minecraft dir if the path contains a space
• Fixed an off-by-one lighting bug
• Fixed block transmuting (turning one block into another via pistons)
• Fixed placing mushrooms in daylight, where they can’t survive
• Fixed redstone lamps dropping powered block items when destroyed while on
• “save-all” (server) now works even when you have toggled “save-off”
• Fixed turning half-blocks into full-blocks while you’re standing on them
• Fixed seed displaying in F3 debug when the seed is unknown (multiplayer)
• Fixed villager texture changing clientside per profession
• Fixed falling off ledge corners while holding shift
• Fixed players falling when reconnecting to servers where they were previously flying

Added:

• Chat history and much better chat editing
• A few new decoration blocks
• “Back” and “Quit” buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen
• Made cats more realistic (read: probably annoying). I hope it’s enough to cancel out any joy you may receive from the previous feature!
• Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs.

This is just a short announcement to let you know that we are aware of this and are working on it as I type this. Please note: Minecraft 1.2.4 has bumped the protocol version, so it is incompatible with 1.2.3.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

 

Amazing update.

 

dang, i literally JUST finished updating my server of 71 plugins to 1.2.3 :/

 

Woooo

 

ouch poor you

 

Sweet thanks for the update.

 

its more just a slap in the face. i probably wont have to update all the plugins again unless they change the code thing again, but like, now no one can connect

 

Do you think that a beta release 1.2.4 would be finished for this night ?

Thinks for all your works we'r waiting don't worried ;-)

 

Yep I got like 15 plugins and everything working next day I AM 1.2.4 !@#@!#$@!$()@!

 

Pop out a developer release please!

 

developer release please! We r all waiting for it !!

 

Ugh do you know when the new craftbukkit will be out?

 

Hahaha, sorry but I just couldn't help but laugh at this.

 

Go to here

 

I just got my server updated

 

thank's. Just realise those )

 

Im nothing with beta builds I need a recommended build .... modloader/forge does not update for beta builds and whithout those my bukkit ported client mods don't either....

 

Great another minecraft update where bukkit is behind... leaving servers behind, good to know some things don't change.

Wouldn't want things more organized and updates handling better at mojang.

 

Is this going to break plugins?

 

Thanks for the update - looking forward to the next release, good luck and thanks for all you do Bukkit team!

 

I'm dutch, my enlish is not very well, but is a 1.2.4 server already? My server is outdated.

 

Will this break any plugins? Or is this more like 1.2.3?

 

is Bukkit for Minecraft 1.2.4 Ready yet??? I need it because my Server says that it's Outdated.

 

This is bullshit.

First, Bukkit ignore all the 13 messages I tweeted to them, asking when a Bukkit RB for 1.2.3 will be released. This is appalling, as they claim to be helpful and easy to speak to, their IRC is dead too.

Second, servers are losing donations and players all over the world including mine, just because the Bukkit devs will not get off their lazy ass and put in some hard-core work for the Bukkit Project. No, I am not a hopeless noob who doesn't understand how much work coding CraftBukkit is, I fully understand that an RB could have been produced a few weeks ago and the devs are just dawdling.

So really, Bukkit, get your act together as you have joined Mojang now, and with the release of this 1.2.4 (which is not even 100% necessary) there was not even a RB for 1.2.3 and there probably will never be.

I hope people realize what I am saying, and that I do have a point.

Thanks,
James Allison

 

Well said...

 

Looking forward to the dev build, thanks for letting us know you are aware.

 

it will just out date them but the makers will bring out updates soon hopefully

 

minejames1 they are working and doing the best they can. Just run a beta build and everything should be fine.

Man I am so glad I wrote all my own plugins, no World Guard, No Precious stones, no essentials no 3rd party anything..
