Minecraft 12w49a snapshot

Another Minecraft Snapshot was recently released. We now have fireworks for minecraft! Thats really cool. They also added some enchanting books and netherbrick slabs apparently. They claim they are getting fireworks ready for New Years.  They don't have sound effects yet but those will be added soon.  You can read all about it on the forums below or you can read the copy and paste here.

It's that time again - Snapshot time!  What goodies lie in this week's test client?  Mojang had this to say about the 12w49a Snapshot:

“What’s this? This doesn’t sound like a redstone update at all!”, you say. “Indeed,” we say. Thing is, we* suddenly decided we wanted to make sure that you have fireworks for New Year’s Eve, so we’re working in several parallel branches of the code now. One is for the 1.5 “Redstone Update,” and one is now for a 1.4.6 patch update. This update will be out before Christmas, and 1.5 will wait until January (or possibly February).

*Send complaints to jeb_

Changelog:

• Added fireworks (sound effects will come soon)
• Added enchanted books for enchanting items
• Netherbrick slabs?!
• Plenty of bugs addressed!

Wait a minute - enchanting books?!  What the heck are those?  As it turns out, Dinnerbone had some pretty awesome plans for the anvil when it first came out, and they included, among other things, the inclusion of sweet enchantment books!
