13w05a is the seventh snapshot released for 1.5.

Additions

• Fully implemented multiple snow heights
  • Drops one snowball for every layer of snow
  • Each level of snow has its own height collision
    • The topmost layer of snow does not have collision, so the player is always slightly sunken in the snow
    • Visually, four layers of snow is the same height as a slab. However, five layers of snow has the same collision height as a slab
  • Crafting recipe is 3 snow blocks in a row to create 6 snow layers
    • For each thin layer of snow crafted, the player loses exactly half the snowballs required to produce it

Changes

• Improved the scoreboard system
  • Added team mechanics including custom name colors, friendly fire options and objective tracking per team instead of per player
  • Added a new display type – Displays value below nametags
  • Added a new criteria type – health, ranging from 0 to 20
• Increased beacon range
  • Effects are infinite upwards with the beam.
  • 1 layer: 41 blocks diameter (previously 33)
  • 2 layers: 61 blocks (previously 49)
  • 3 layers: 81 blocks (previously 65)
  • 4 layers: 101 blocks (previously 81)
• Improved Stairs
  • Improved lighting
  • Stairs no longer prevent sprinting
• Rebalanced bonemeal
  • Everything now usually takes 2–3 uses to fully grow, but it's random
• Comparator
  • Now uses the 8s bit on block 149 to represent its powered state, rather than a separate block ID, 150. Block 150 is deprecated.
