Minecraft 1.2

Another Big Minecraft Update that will change the game in so many big ways.

Starting of with the new Biome : The Jungle
Including new trees that will make it more difficult to cut down,And the new mobs : - Lions and Cubs
-And Monkeys (NotSureYet)
The Thick flora may make it hard to move around so don't forget to bring your shears,
Advantages - Baby Lions (cubs) can be tamed and you can have a pet cat
-Making your treehouse would be much easier and would look way better
Disadvantages -Shears are usually needed to make your journey-Or it may need some parkour or breaking leaves if you don't
-Shady at Night - With that Jungle Canopy there's alot of mobs that can lurk ready to attack you.
-Lost? - Those with poor navigation skills may get lost alot.

New Mob AI
:Skellington (as how i call them) & Zombies now save themselves from burning and dying during the day by hiding in the nearest shade or jumping into the nearest water block. (Smart) So when you wake up in the morning and see a bunch of mobs outside your house don't be alarmed they will stay there till night falls.
And some bonus information for you guys is something I like to call stage fright , When you place a Stone Slab on the ground and a skellington stands on it usually they will stay there and spin around in circles this may not result the same way in the actual update but in the first pre-realease this was the case.
:Zombies - Now Zombie Horde , Zombies will form groups and attack at your door that cuases alot of noise with all the banging and stratching, and soon enough they break open and there in your house, Iron doors are a way to slow them down and closing your doors at night is now a must.
:Villagers (Testificus) Now can open and close doors, As they have been useless in there release in 1.8 there still as useless as they are now, At night they will all enter the nearest house and close the door if there is zombies attacking at the door they would hold them off as long as they can but here's the fun but bad bit, If a villager dies because of a zombie they would rise from the dead as zombies causing a much bigger problem in you home.
Villagers now also repopulize according to the number of houses in the village or area you spawned them in.
Meaning they added Children looking as horrible as the villagers are these mini villagers is what they call children. (Also Useless)

Most of these New AI are awesome and it's thanks to the Mojang Team so go and thank them for it (I Think Jebb did most of the work)

Ok more features and I think this would help all those creative builders out there and its the new World Height which is now 3 times higher. Now this feature enables so many things to alot of the creative builders out there as this is a big deal world height has always limited all the tall buildings created in the game.
The server I'm working on (MYServer as it is called) has a hotel that is limited to only 3 floor because of world height but now think about it. Building Planes and Floating Islands or Wizard Towers that can reach into the skyline.

The other updates I'm not so sure will be put into the final release and I'll keep you updated with you guys.
