Very quiet and tiny rumors have reached my ears that a new mob is in the making. I think it should be some kind of mob that sticks with the word 'minecraft'. For example, i've always wanted a mob that can be found in basins with random ore textures across it.
Ghasts coming through nether portals....? So i guess i'll have to move my nether portal to my mines...... As if pigmen were bad enough.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.

What do you mean by "random ore texture"? What kind of mob would have that?

I swear, if they do that, I will use MCNostalgia and NEVER update again!
And I don't even know why they even did that in the first place. Maybe an option to turn it into a server as you're playing, so your friend can join you, but once they've left, go back to no server again. It sucked that I couldn't pause it in the relevant snapshots.
They are doing it for many good reasons, but here are a few.
1. Preperation for the Modding API. Modders will have a easier time when making mods that are for both SSP and SMP, because they run off the same code.
2. Easier on Mojang. When ever Jeb, or the Bukkit team add or change something in the code, they need to code it twice for SMP. They have already said in the past that coding is hell when they have to do that. They can get bug fixes and more additions into the game faster.
Also, from my experiences, they game runs more smooth.
I think that they will do a lot of bug fixes, because they made a ton of bugs by merging SSP and SMP, so I think that is what Mojang will spend most of the time till 1.3 doing
more added to adventure mode (when creating the map, in the settings you will be able to tell the game what block players will be allowed to break (only one block though, such as clay)
the ammount of experience that you get out of ores such as coal will be reduced slightly since at the current moment you can get up to lvl 10 in a matter of minutes when you find a alot of coal.
more bug fixes
Something else that I would like to see added but probably wont be are fixes to the lighting glitches.
I hope they DON'T make it so Ghasts can come through Nether Portals...
Ghasts are too big to fit through a nether portal, so they probably won't make that happen.
But if it does, we're all screwed. I already get chills hearing Ghasts in the Nether. Ghasts in the overworld don't have obstructions to their views... and nearly everything is flammable in the overworld.
I don't have much of a problem with zombie pigmen coming out of portals. They are fairly easy to kill if you just keep hitting them. And they aren't aggressive until you hit them anyway.
Jeb also mentioned on twitter that he was planning a change to Ender Chests. I'm betting he is doing it the ways mods did it. You craft it with a type of wool at the top, whatever color of wool you use, only those chests will be connected.

Well, you can pause again now. As I understand what Jeb has said, the merge will work just like you say you want, but they will not release 1.3 until it does so!
Why do they do this? So they don't have to do everything twice, and so that any plugins (mods) should work for both single player and multiplayer with no extra work. This will mean more content in the future, both from mojang and from mod builders.
That's why I said the RELEVANT snapshots. I've downloaded every snapshot after and including 12w19a. I wonder what emerald tools would be like. And for it being easier on Mojang, that sounds a bit lazy on their part, because, seriously, multiplayer has a ton of bugs as it is. By merging SP with MP, those bugs will be transferred over to single player. And I got blown up by a creeper when I was "paused", and that made me grumpy.
And as for ghasts coming out of nether portals, maybe that could be just for hard difficulty. I would love for the hard difficulty being harder.
Well since we seem to be on a roll of getting temples according to biome, i'm betting we will get one more next week. Like maybe Igloos in snow biomes, or abandoned cabins in forest biomes.
I also think they will add a new option to adventure mode. You're not allowed to break any blocks right now, maybe they'll add an option when you create a world to allow you to mine and place blocks of your choice. Would be great for adventure maps, allowing you to break only some blocks.
I think Ghasts will also be able to travel through nether portals. About as often as zombie pigmen do.
Villages will change style according to biome. Like ones that spawn in jungles will use jungle wood. And ones that spawn in tundra biomes will use some ice and snow.
Emerald Ore will be a little more common.
Probably enchanted items in the creative mode menu.
This is more of a hope, but I want monster spawners already, with the choice of your mob. It's about time they were added offically.
Tripwire will have a smaller hitbox and be easier to place in the air.
What do you predict will be added in the next big snapshot next week? I know theres a chance of a small one tommorow, but these predictions will stay the same.
Some features i would like to see in a future update are:
-New mobs (flying and swimming and one that is smart ithunts and builds houses, mines annnd if you p**s him?her off he/she starts to hunt you)
-Girl and boy villagers
-animals mate on theire own
-Arrow targets
-Rope
More temples (underwater, snow, forest, mountains)
-Building villager (builds house and wall to keep villagers safe and to build them houses)
-Collecter (opposite of a dipenser)
Somthing a bit like "The Aether" Notch could even work with the people who made it!!!
-Upgraded ".Minecraft" folder (4 folders: Default, Texture packs, Mods, Skins (It allows you to drag and drop what you need into the specified folders without having to do all that winRAR s**t which really slows down my computer if doesn't work).
Thanks for reading please reply if you think anything should be added

I think the main focus of 12w23a is adventure mode.
That would be awesome... but no, they don't.
This, please.
