    Notch just released Minecraft 1.3!

    * Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
    * Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
    * Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
    * Added three new half-size blocks
    * Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
    * Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
    * New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
    * It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
    * Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
    * Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
    * .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!


    Ç‚ New launcher seems to be working now!

    I updated to 1.3 played A lil bit of singleplayer then went back. At first all I did was replace the jar. Didn't work logged in said no to update then screen went black. After that decided to delete bin folder re-update to 1.3 then replaced the jar and seem to work I dunno if it was luck or not

    That's just minecraft.net screwing with you, power. Either that or something messed up while you were replacing the jar and it corrupted the one you transfered in.

    More Information:
    • Delay/repeater blocks
    • Beds
    • Added three new half-size blocks (Wooden Plank, Cobblestone, Sandstone)
    • Slimes have a higher spawn rate (confirm?)
    • New Mojang logo
    • Graphics settings screen
    • Ability to toggle between classic lighting and "smooth" lighting
    • Regions now use the McRegion format, with built-in auto conversion
    • While starting a new world, players can choose their own name and seed to generate the world
    • More than 5 Worlds possible
    • Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
    • F1 now toggles
    • F3 now toggles
    • When F3 is pressed, mobs display a number over their head. This number appears to be unique for each mob. (more info?)
    • F8 toggles mouse smoothing
    • In 3rd person mode, character can be visibly seen to bob side to side when you walk (only when View Bobbing is enabled).
    • Sandstone is now found at the bottom of naturally generated sand.
    • All pressure plates now require two of its materials, instead of 3. The new stone slabs are now created by using 3 of the materials (see specific block pages for further information)
    • Mine time for Sandstone decreased.
    • Redstone dust will get darker the farther away it is from a source of power.
    • New painting added of a flaming skull.
    • Some blocks of ice have curved edges.
    • Blocks break slower while in air.
    • Less passive Mobs when on harder modes (?)
    Bugfixes:
    • When breaking double slabs (one slab placed on another) it will drop two slabs instead of one.
    • Wood and logs don't burn forever anymore.
    • F1 in 3rd person mode no longer flips view
    New Bugs:
    • Game may crash upon entering the Nether. When you reload you will be at spawn with no items.
    • Some users reporting worlds getting deleted (confirm?). Deletion may be caused by use of mods from 1.2 that have not updated.
    • Levers can be placed on the bottom of a block, as long as there is an open space, and a block horizontal to the open space. The lever will act as if placed on the horizontal block, but looks glitched, as shown here: Media:Brokenlever.png
    • If someone uses their bed in SMP, other players may get disconnected. (Un-Recognisable Packet ID: 17)
    • Wooden Slabs are best mined with pickaxe, not an axe.
    • Zombies cannot hurt players unless they are above them.
    • If you toggle F3 (Debug Interface), and leave your world/server, the FPS tracker will stay with you in the main menus.
    • Large chests may cause crashes when opening them (Unconfirmed: crashes may be caused by use of mods from 1.2 that have not updated).
    • You cannot place two different half-size blocks one above another (space is created between them)

    If you downloaded version 1.3 and want to revert (and stay) at 1.1_02, do the following:

    1) Download the full 1.1_02 version from somewhere (about 40 MB)
    2) Go to your Minecraft folder and copy everything from the bin folder of 1.1_02 into the bin folder of your Minecraft folder, except the "version" file. Keeping the "version" file of 1.3 will prevent the game from updating automatically.
    3) (Optional) Replace minecraft.jar with minecraft.jar from GodCraft.
