12w08a is the eighth and the final snapshot for Java Edition 1.2.1, released on February 23, 2012,[1] which adds the iron golem and debug camera controls.

Additions[]

Mobs[]

Iron Golem JE1 BE1 Iron golems
  • New utility mob.
  • Occasionally spawns in large villages as a defense.
  • Can also be spawned by arranging 4 iron blocks and a pumpkin.

General[]

Controls
  • Added camera controls.
    • These were accidentally added. Jeb noted them as "deadmau5 camera" controls and would likely be removed again in an upcoming snapshot.[2][3]
    • Pressing F6 causes the player to get "stuck" to the camera until F6 is pressed again. This allows players to appear to phase into blocks.
    • Pressing F9 causes the camera to freeze in its position, allowing to see the player model rotating in third person view.
    • Pressing Y, H, U, O, I, K, J, L, N and M change the camera positioning in a variety of ways. While pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time the camera may be reset (example: Y + H) will revert that view back to normal, but U + O will not).

Changes[]

World generation[]

General
  • Lava ponds and flat stone areas now generate on the surface more frequently.

General[]

Languages
  • Removed some Canadian English stereotypes.
