Minecraft snapshot updated, Christmas surprises uncovered

That's right, a handful of bug fixes are in the snapshot update, which you can find here. The game has also been tweaked so that the possibility of monsters spawning with armor now scales according to the difficulty level you're playing at. Once again, don't forget to read our guide if you've never installed a Minecraft snapshot before. Now, there's a wee seasonal spoiler in this post, so if you don't want to know what Minecraft might have in store for players over the holiday period, then I'd suggest you pass on by and take a look at all the fantastic features posted up by my colleagues. For example, did you know you can play Red Orchestra 2 this weekend? Okay, are they gone? Very well then. Looks like we're the crowd who don't mind having Christmas spoiled. Follow me past the break.
