Mojang is ramping up to release the Very Scary Update (1.4), but what to do in the meantime? Well, this week's Snapshot is out, and ready for your viewing pleasure! What awaits us this week?
Nether loads faster when going through a portal
In creative mode, teleportation is instantaneous
Updated and added new sounds by C418
Added a sound for climbing up Ladders
New block-placing sounds: Wood, Stone, Plants, Sand, Gravel, although unintended by C418
New footstep sounds: Sand, Gravel, Soulsand, Grass Block, and Stone
New mob sounds: Cow, Pigs, Enderman, Zombie, and Skeleton
New tool sounds: Flint and Steel, Shears (when shearing sheep)
Lava and Flowing Water now have constant noise
Added level up sound, but will be changed later for a shorter one
Added a passive mob (Bat)
Spawns in dark caves Sleeps during the day Hangs on the ceiling when idle, starts flying when players come near
Added a hostile mob (Witch)
Throws splash potions of poison, slowness, weakness and instant damage at you Regenerate health over time Hold an empty bottle and rise their noses when attacking Drink potions of instant health and fire resistance to defend themselves in combat Rarely drop potions of instant health and fire resistance Is immune to some splash potions Does not spawn naturally (yet), but a Spawn Egg exists for it in Creative Mode
Item Frames no longer despawn when 20 blocks away.
Wood blocks are now rotated differently. Instead of using the player’s position, it will rotate based on the face it is placed upon, like a lever (this is mainly a test).
Silverfish Source Blocks have a chance of spawning in caves

also there is more scary sounds in caves
otherwise
GREAT STUFF Flying overland passive mobs FTW! (I wonder if you can collect guano from the bats as fertilizer for crops....)
~walking on sand sounded like walking on mud
and also, i think i like the old beacon block more.. with the spinning thingy in the middle
the grass and leaf noises... barely audible and not crunchy D:
other than that, awesome
also, beackon looks great, but I think if it had all three different effects at once. awesome!
..except beacon light. It's awful. Looks like a bunch of strings
