12w34b is the third snapshot for Java Edition 1.4.2, released on August 24, 2012 to fix some of the bugs and crashes in the 12w34a snapshot.

Additions

Gameplay

Bosses

• Added boss names above boss health.

Changes

Blocks

Buttons

• Changed recipes for stone/wood buttons.
  • Now require 1 stone block/planks to craft.

Items

Armor

• Leather and diamond armor textures slightly changed:
  • Leather armor sleeves are extended by one pixel.
  • Their item texture has been changed to match the new texture.
• Diamond armor sleeves now have a notch on the inner side.

Maps

• Now have a zoom level, which was fixed at 1:8 prior to snapshot 12w34a, but now starts at 1:1 and can be increased up to 1:16 by re-crafting an existing map.
• Are no longer numbered on the top-left corner and is labeled through the tooltip.

Mobs

Hostile mobs

• Occasionally, zombies, skeletons, and zombie pigmen spawn with the ability to pick up items on the ground.
  • Armor automatically equips. Items are held instantly, which is not exclusive to weapons. This means zombies can be found holding items they have come across, such as rotten flesh.
  • This causes zombie pigmen to drop their sword, and skeletons to drop their bow.
  • The attribute applied to allow them to pick up items is called CanPickUpLoot.

Zombie pigmen

• In the Overworld, zombie pigmen are eager to get back in the nether portal (e.g., if the player makes a portal and spawns zombie pigmen in Creative, they run into the portal).

Withers

• When taken down to half health, they gain wither armor, making them immune to arrows.

Fixes

2 bugs fixed

• Fixed item frame crashes.
• Fixed some nether portal stuff.
