Minecraft 1.2.4 Update


Mojang has released the Minecraft 1.2.4 update today.

The folks at Mojang are on a roll with updating Minecraft as of late.  1.2.4 marks the third update this month, but Jeb of Mojang has said this will probably be the last until 1.3 which currently has no set release date as of yet.
For those who want a taste before they update, here’s what you can expect.

Minecraft 1.2.4 New Features and Updates

  • 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).
  • Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs
On the bug fix side of things, there are several here that were very much in need of fixing.  It looks like bringing the Bukkit developers onboard is already paying off.
