Java Edition 12w42a

12w42a is the fourteenth snapshot released for Java Edition 1.4.2.

Blocks

 * Anvils


 * New crafting recipe, now is 31 iron ingots instead of 55.
 * Minor visual changes.
 * The player can repair tools and armor using their source material.
 * To get a tool or piece of armor to its maximum durability when it is nearly broken, one must use four of its source material (planks, cobblestone, iron, gold or diamonds).
 * However, hoes are not able to be repaired.
 * Reduced experience level cost.


 * Redstone Repeaters
 * When powering either side of a repeater directly with another repeater, it will lock the current state of the other repeater until the signal to the powering repeater is turned off.
 * If a repeater that is on is locked, it will stay on.
 * If a repeater that is off is locked, it cannot output a signal.
 * When locked, the repeater's second torch will no longer be visible and a bar textured similarly to bedrock will appear.

Mobs

 * Bats
 * Can no longer trample crops, activate pressure plates or tripwire.

General

 * Language
 * Updated language file.


 * Servers
 * IPs can now be individually hidden.


 * Controls
 * Added the ability to use numbers to move items from or to the hotbar in an inventory GUI.
