Minecraft 1.4.3 Pre-release;
Since the release of the Pretty Scary Update weâve been super-busy trying to fix as many reported issues as possible. Weâve now reached the point where weâve fixed so many that we spend more and more time wondering âhavenât we fixed that already?â and âI wonder if this will break anything elseâŚâ In other words, itâs time to look forward to a new official update!
Well that was quick.. I’m sure I only did a 12w42a/b post yesterday..

Woho, time to get ready for 1.4! This release is the full 1.4, intended to prepare server admins and mod makers. Searge of the Minecraft Coder Pack has already been informed, as usual. This release will be pushed to the public on Wednesday, October 24!

Falling sand now properly âpopsâ when falling on non-solid blocks (such as torches)

Fixed tooltip width for renamed items
Added a number of sound events, but the sound effects are not added yet
Server ping will now tell if the server and client have mismatching protocol versions
