A few days ago, it was possible to get the 1.3.2 update for bug-testing: now it is fully live! Be sure to update your Minecraft client from the launcher – it should prompt to update automatically, but if it does not, you can update manually from the launcher itself.
Simply press the Options button on the opening screen, then “Force Update” in the menu that pops up. The 1.3.2 update mainly consists of bug-fixes – two in particular being the random suffocation bug, and randomly falling out of the nether – no new features were added in 1.3.2 beyond that. ButWhat About the Snapshot?! This week’s Snapshot was put on hold, to avoid confusion between a Snapshot test release, and the patch that went live today. Still, if you’d like something to whet your appetite for updates in the interim, Mojang’s own Dinnerbone has something for you to chew on: Also, this teaser image from Jeb, fresh from the presses – possible future invisibility? Changelogs:.
Added sideways logs in trees. Fixed a bug that caused players to fall out of the world when going into the Nether. Fixed a bug that caused random suffocation damage in water Minecraft for Linux / Other Download. The jar is executable and might work as-is. If you run into memory issues, try launching it with java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame, also please use Sun’s JVM. Multiplayer Server If you’re running on Windows and just want to set up a server easily, download and run it. If you want to run the server on any other OS or without GUI it’s a bit more involved.
First make sure you can use java from the command line. On Linux and Mac OS X this should already be set up but on Windows you might have to tinker with the PATH environment variable. Download and run with java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraftserver.jar nogui.
I have (FINALLY!) found this to be a very common problem. ALL PowerPC machines, when running Minecraft 1.4.2 or 1.4.4, play a scratchy, loud crackling sound when playing Minecraft. I am going to show you how you can fix this.
(Me and my friend found this out while messing about with the minecraft.jar file btw.) I hope to make this as easy as possible. The instructions are fairly simple and short, they look long below because I have put in EVERY little detail.I WILL PROVIDE UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE MINECART SOUNDS WORK BECAUSE MOJANG HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUE YET, SO KEEP CHECKING THIS THREAD, I WILL UPDATE IT BY JANUARY. I am testing it to make sure 100% EVERY sound works!. However the following is the current instructions! Download the old Minecraft 1.3.2 jar file if you don't have a backup of it here: Step 2. Rename the old 1.3.2 jar from its current 'minecraft.jar' name to distinguish it from the 1.4.2 minecraft.jar. Right-click the old 1.3.2 jar file and click open with, then Archive Utility.
(If you don't see 'Archive Utility', click 'Other' and navigate to: Your Hard Drive (usually Macintosh HD), System, Library, CoreServices, and then Archive Utility.app) Step 4. There should now be a folder called 'minecraft'. Double-click it, and look for a folder called paulscode. (It may be hard to find since there are so many files inside the folder. Just keep looking until you find it.) This is a VERY important folder.
Drag this folder to your desktop. Once you have dragged paulscode to your desktop, (click on the finder icon in the dock if you don't have finder open), and at the top apple bar (with the apple logo, time, etc.) click on 'Go' and then click on 'Go to Folder.' Then copy and paste this into the text box: /Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin/ Click Go. You should see something called 'minecraft.jar', this is your current 1.4.2 Minecraft file. Right-click and click 'Open With', then Archive Utility. (Again, if you don't see 'Archive Utility', click 'Other' and navigate to: Your Hard Drive (usually Macintosh HD), System, Library, CoreServices, and then Archive Utility.app) Step 7. Delete the 'minecraft.jar' file.
NOT the 'minecraft' folder. You should see a folder called minecraft.
Normal (left) click it ONCE and it should be highlighted blue. Then press the Enter key. You should now be able to rename the folder. THE FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORTANT. Name it 'minecraft.jar', with a lowercase 'm'.
Double-click the 'minecraft.jar' folder. Inside there should be another paulscode folder. This is the problem. And then drag the previous 1.3.2 paulscode folder, which should be on your desktop. Close all your windows and open up Minecraft, and ALL the new sounds (INCLUDING the bats and all the other new Minecraft 1.4.2 sounds) should work! I hope to help you again in the future, and I am working to not be a MacRumors newbie anymore! EDIT: ALSO WORKS ON 1.4.4.A (brief) FIX FOR THE FOLLOWING IS BELOW!
Some people may notice that when riding a Minecart with the sound turned up, Minecraft will crash. The easiest thing to do is to turn the volume all the way down to 0%.
(not your Mac volume, the Minecraft volume. Press the esc key while playing, go to options and turn 'Sound' and 'Music' down to 0%). BRIEF MINECART FIX: This is going to be brief, because I am busy right now. Instead of moving the whole Paulscode 1.3.2 folder to the 1.4 minecraft.jar, go inside the 1.3.2 Paulscode, and inside a folder called codecs (right now I don't have my PPC mac with me, so this is by memory) there should be a file called CodecJOrbis or something. Instead of replacing the whole 1.4 Paulscode, go inside both paulscodes and replace the CodecJOrbis only. I think that CodecJOrbis is at minecraft.jar codecs CodecJOrbis but it could be at minecraft.jar sound codecs CodecJOrbis.

This is by memory so it is not very detailed, but it should work. Many thanks for this which works on my dual G5 (ex-gamers industry Xbox360 dev kit, and pokier than the production-engineered follow-up). I expect it will as effective on my iBook G4 and previous 'main' mac now upstairs, the dual G4. Those have 10.4, this one has OSX 10.5.8 So who's this paul?;-) P.S. I've seen lots of questions about this but no answers till yours, which makes perfect sense. I'll spread it.
How do we let the Mojang people know about this SNAFU? I'd mistakenly and unsuccessfully tried to fix the apparent endian-reversal at the OpenAL level - the game libs switched to OpenAL Soft recently, and I'm something of an expert (GDC lecturer) in OpenAL - but that was a red herring.
I'd love to hear it in Rapture3D, though. Very glad to have my Macs playing Minecraft in sound as well as vision. Click to expand.You are 100% correct there - BRIEF MINECART FIX: This is going to be brief, because I am busy right now.

Click to expand.You can't download the minecraft launcher from the minecraft website, it doesn't work. But you can download an older version of the launcher. Watch: Let the minecraft launcher download the current minecraft files normally. I believe the current minecraft version is 1.4.6?
Anyway, once that is done you should be able to play, but with messed up sound. The answer to your question is YES. (But you need to put a bit of work into it. Just follow the instructions. There is also a minecart fix that enables minecraft to play 100% like it should.
Minecraft 1.5.2 Jar Download
Click to expand.Thanks, that was enough for me to work out that the ONLY file that needs to be updated to fix the corrupt sound bug is codecJOrbis.class, which is 8029 bytes (with creation dated 14th August 2012, on the one that works for me) whereas the 8100 byte version Mojang have clobbered it with is useless on PPCs (that one was created 28th Dec 2012 on this 1.4.7 update). The path concerned is /Application Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar/paulscode/sound/codecs To summarise the simplified fix, tested here on 1.4.5 and 1.4.7, (0) Quit Minecraft - it sounded nasty:-( (1) Unpack the old 1.3.2 and new 1.4.x minecraft.jar as explained above. (2) Copy codecJOrbis.class from paulscode/sound/codecs in the 1.3.2 set to the corresponding place in your new version (3) Restart Minecraft - it sounds nice It's annoying that the updates of Minecraft 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 STILL contain the broken file.
I wonder if there is any way to report this to Mojang that will get a response? Or are we better off contacting the mysterious 'paul', or the author of codecJOrbis.class While replacing the file fixes the problem, it has to be done every time any other part of minecraft gets updated, and prevents prompted updates working (they'd clobber the fix, too) since they can't cope with minecraft.jar being a directory.
Meanwhile, thanks again keremtezcan for diagnosing the original problem and the updated fix.
