Minecraft Snapshot 12w42a Ready for Testing

Minecraft released the new snapshot a tad early so they can get as many testing as they possibly can before the official release of the 1.4 patch.  Information can be found below. Glad they changed anvil creation cause it was a huge iron hog, still is but at least it is a little better.

-----copy and paste notes-----

Mojang is offering a special treat today - an early Snapshot!  1.4 is due to release next week, and the early Snapshot release allows Mojang more time to get the update as playable and awesome as possible before launch.

Today's Snapshot includes a helping of:

• Anvil block has been tweaked (it’s cheaper to create, minor visual changes, and you can repair tools using wood/ingots/diamonds)
• Bats no longer trample crops or trigger pressure plates
• Redstone repeaters can be “locked” (fixed output) by having a powered repeater connected to its left or right side
• Updated language files
• More bugfixes & tweaks!

Grab the Snapshot today, and see 1.4 early - it doesn't include all that 1.4 has to offer, but it comes pretty darn close!
