About

Alpha 1.3.0 picks up where 1.2.6 left off. Most of the work is in multiplayer, with a few smaller additions along the way.

Through the portal

The Nether is available on multiplayer servers. Inventory handling and combat have also received fixes.

A few other changes

Eggs can now be thrown, and leaves decay more reliably after a tree is cut down. There are developer cloaks and temporary holiday cloaks, too.

World saving has better recovery when something goes wrong, and disconnected players are handled more reliably.

Still Alpha

Terrain generation, recipes, and survival difficulty remain as they were. Water ladders and minecart boosters still work.
