Version Title/Number	Date of Addition	Additions Summary
Minecraft Infdev	June 27, 2010	Mob spawners given a unique ID, reducing crashes Removed gears (later renamed to cogs)
Minecraft Infdev (Seecret Friday 2)	June 25, 2010	Dungeons added Mob Spawners added Saddles added New bugs: Map generation now creates "bad chunk" areas of the map in which the player and all npcs stutter and move very slowly through, making the first appearance of the Far Lands.
Minecraft Infdev	June 25, 2010	Save file format changed back to old format
Minecraft Infdev	June 24, 2010	New save file format Tweaked rail laying code Better FPS Less crashes New crash report screen Rideable Minecarts that can't be opened New bugs: When turning on a minecart track while riding a minecart, cameras turn in the opposite direction of the minecart (e.g. minecart turns left, camera turns right)
Minecraft Infdev (Seecret Friday 1)	June 18, 2010	Minecarts and Minecart Tracks added Gravel and sand fall realistically Falling off bottom of map kills the player Sky rendering tweaked
Minecraft Infdev (Tweak and bug fix update)	June 17, 2010	Caves are much more interesting now, specifically: Rooms now have 1-5 exits, instead of just 1, making natural hubs. Caves are even more regional, with truly Swiss cheese areas being possible but rare Springs, both water and lava, are more common Increased variety in tunnel thickness, increasing the odds of branches Added natural gravel and dirt under ground for more varied caves Surface springs possible Flowing water that touches flowing lava creates cobblestone Flowing water that touches standing lava turns the lava into obsidian. Lava springs don't spread Getting stuck inside blocks causes suffocation Water flows nicer Fixed a few bugs in liquid spreading code Fixed invisible waterfalls Made massive tweaks to the pending tile tick logic (used for liquids and fire), quite possibly fixing a crash bug
Minecraft Infdev (Caves, prettier water)	June 16, 2010	Water now has more triangular prism shape rather than layers of flat blocks Regional caves Naturally occurring lava Flowers and mushrooms Fluid block springs can generate underground to make rivers
Minecraft Infdev (Dynamic water and Buckets)	June 15, 2010	Leaves not near blocks will vanish again FAST or FANCY options switch Buckets added Dynamic water Days are now slightly longer than nights ?
Minecraft Infdev	June 11, 2010	3D cloud layer changed terrain generator
Minecraft Infdev	June 8, 2010	Smarter door rotation logic Can destroy signs easier Shadows back
Minecraft Infdev	June 7, 2010	Signs, Ladders and Doors added Monster spawn rate changed Switched to old tree code
Minecraft Infdev	April 20, 2010	Faster and tweaked level generator Saplings can grow into fancy trees Pathfinder no longer mobs over cliffs in areas of map
Minecraft Infdev	April 15, 2010	Mobs can spawn
Minecraft Infdev	April 14, 2010	Fixed the crash bug when planting torches and plants
