Java Edition Alpha v1.2.3 05

Alpha v1.2.4 (mislabeled Alpha v1.2.3_05 ) was a version of Alpha released on November 30, 2010, as the third part of a bug-fix update. Alpha 1.2.3_05 does not exist at all

Additions

 * Added proper hurt animations and sounds to mobs and players.

Changes

 * The multiplayer join server screen now remembers the latest entered IP.
 * Creepers now animate before exploding
 * Explosions animate properly.
 * Increased chunk saving frequency on the server.
 * The player can now see sneaking players. Names of sneaking players aren't visible through walls, and are visible a much shorter distance.
 * Buttons, levers, and pressure plates animate properly when activated.

Fixes

 * 8 bugs fixed
 * Leaving sneak mode no longer rapidly plays all the step sounds that it silenced during the sneak.
 * Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly.
 * Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts
 * Made arrows visible and deal damage.
 * No more infinite free arrows.
 * Hoes now produce proper seeds.
 * Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it.
 * Fixed minecarts and pigs moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.

Trivia

 * When Notch released 1.2.4, he accidentally labeled it as 1.2.3_05 in game. This version also had leftover debug code that caused creepers to spawn far too frequently. This was later fixed with the release of 1.2.4_01, which means there was never a client version of 1.2.4.
