Java Edition 13w02b

13w02b is the fourth snapshot for 1.5, and was released to fix some of the bugs and crashes in the 13w02a snapshot.

Blocks

 * Activator Rails
 * Changed crafting recipe.
 * Now includes two sticks and a redstone torch, as well as the 6 iron ingots.
 * Dinnerbone stated the previous crafting recipe was not intended.


 * Chests
 * Large/double chests can now release a redstone signal when connected to a Comparator depending on the number of stacks within.
 * Before, double chests would only emit a signal depending on how full each individual chest was (a double chest with only the top half full would emit a full signal from the side that the items were in).


 * Hoppers
 * Powering the block now also stops it from taking in items (see comparison between 13w02a and 13w02b).


 * Trapped chests
 * Can now transmit signal downward through one block. This does not apply horizontally (through walls).
