gotta love the wiki changelog, new bug section as big as new features
Delay/repeater blocks
Beds
Added three new half-size blocks (wooden slab, cobblestone slab, sandstone slab)
Slimes have a higher spawn rate
New Mojang logo splash screen
Graphics settings screen
Ability to toggle between classic lighting and "smooth" lighting
Worlds now use a generic McRegion chunk save format, with built-in auto conversion
While starting a new world, players can choose their own name and seed to generate the world
More than 5 Worlds possible
Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
F1 now toggles HUD.
F3 can now be toggled.
When F3 is pressed, mobs display a number over their head. This number is referred to as the "entity id" and can be seen in the console when players connect to a server.
F8 toggles mouse smoothing
In 3rd person mode, character can be visibly seen to bob side to side when you walk (only when View Bobbing is enabled).
Sandstone is now found at the bottom of naturally generated sand.
All pressure plates now require two of its materials, instead of 3. The new stone slabs are now created by using 3 of the materials (see specific block pages for further information)
Mine time for Sandstone decreased.
Redstone wire will get darker the farther away it is from a source of power.
New painting added .
Some blocks of ice have curved edges.(Illusion caused by lighting bug).
Less passive Mobs when on harder modes (confirm?).
Deleting world confirmation changed slightly.
Lapis Lazuli now drops 4-8 pieces when mined instead of 1 in SMP.
Sulphur renamed back to Gunpowder
If you go to bed where there is a possibility of a hostile mob being able to reach you, you will wake up with the hostile mob attacking you, and it will still be night.
Flint more common.
Bugfixes:When breaking double slabs (one slab placed on another) it will drop two slabs instead of one.
Wood and logs don't burn forever anymore.
Grassland/Sand-related biome border fixed (Boundaries line up, rather than obviously show chunk borders)
No longer receiving Java Log error .txt file spam in the minecraft.exe folder when closing the Minecraft client program.
Players can no longer use the click-release to quickly mine blocks (referred to as "click mining"). Note: Only applies to SMP.
Players no longer glitch when standing on fences in SMP
Players can no longer milk Squids.
New Bugs:Slimes can be killed, but split into smaller slimes regardless of weapon used. Only one split slime can be damaged, the others are 'ghost' slimes which disappear upon reconnecting.
Some users reporting worlds getting deleted (confirm?). Deletion may be caused by use of mods from 1.2 that have not updated.
Levers can be placed on the bottom of a block, as long as there is an open space, and a block horizontal to the open space. The lever will act as if placed on the horizontal block, but looks glitched, as shown here: Media:Brokenlever.png
If someone uses their bed in SMP, other players may get disconnected. (Un-Recognizable Packet ID: 17)
Wooden Slabs are best mined with pickaxe, not an axe.
The particle colors for wood and sandstone slabs are gray.
The particle colors for Delay/repeater blocks are the same of pumpkins.
Zombies cannot hurt players unless the zombie is above them(true in SSP only).
Spiders can only hurt the player when above them or when jumping.
If debug screen is toggled on in a world and you save and quit to title screen, the graph stays on the screen.
Lighting bugs on portal, water, and ice blocks with smooth lighting.
When a player drowns or is otherwise killed near or in water, all 10 bubbles of the breath bar show up.
If a redstone torch which is placed on the side of a block receives power, it will turn off permanently and must be manually reset. It will not turn back on.
Delay/repeater blocks may stay on when without turning off when turned on and off repeatedly for a long time. May be the blocks equivilant to a redstone torch burn out.
Once a redstone torch is burnt out, any torch placed in that position will immediately burn out when given power. Torches will also remain burnt out forever.
F1 in 3rd person mode no longer flips view.
Slime is only client side, other players in SMP will not see the slime that is following you. This slime will not damage you but will knock you around, and can get in the way of minecarts to the bafflement of your smp friends. (possibly not a bug - might be simulating schizophrenia)
No response from Minecraft Server 1.3
Cannot stack Chests on Stone Slabs.
Regular mining is now much slower in SMP with tools such as the diamond pick axe on stone, when simply holding down the mouse button - the actual mining only starts shortly after the tool animation started, for each block, causing a delay that adds up. This is probably related to the "click mining" exploit fix.[1]
When you're crouching in SMP and you right click a bed to get in it. You get disconnected for an illegal stance.
