13w03a is the fifth snapshot for Java Edition 1.5, released on January 17, 2013[1] which adds droppers, minecarts with hoppers, and the /testfor command.
13w03a was reuploaded twice. The first time was later on January 17, 2013, to fix an issue with droppers duplicating items,[2] and it was soon reuploaded for a second time half an hour later fixing the inability to break blocks by punching, and random crashes when breaking blocks and items.[3]
Additions
Blocks
- Places items in containers in front of them.
- Crafted using cobblestone, a hopper, and a piece of redstone:
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|
| Cobblestone + Hopper + Redstone |
    |
Non-mob entities
- Crafting recipe is a hopper on top of a minecart.
- Can only be emptied by passing over a hopper.
- Can pick up items it passes over.
Command format
/testfor
- Command to test for players.
- Uses comparators to get an analog redstone signal indicating the amount of found players.
General
- Strings related to Realms have been added to the localization files.
- At this point, it is named Minecraft Online.
- It is not accessible, and it is currently unknown if any proper code related to Realms exists in this version.
Changes
Blocks
- Can now be placed in any orientation – placement works like with wooden logs.
- Comparators fed by command blocks will now indicate whether the last run command was run successfully.
- Comparators powered by them now give out a signal depending on the fullness of the container on the rail.
- Now have their crash fixed causing their texture to be changed again.
- It is now possible to form a source block above another source block. This prevents players from ruining oceans or rivers with buckets.
Mobs
- Now shoot faster when their target is closer.
- They shoot players even from one block away.
- Now call other zombies to attack in a group (radius scales with difficulty).
- Deal more damage if low on health (also scales with difficulty).
- When on fire, they can set players on fire.
- Now become aggressive and come towards the player when shot from further away.
Non-mob entities
- When blown up using activator rails, they no longer destroy rails and supporting blocks.
- Still blows up redstone materials.
General
- Added some new chat options in multiplayer menu:
- Focused Height
- Unfocused Height
- Width
- Moved the texture packs button (no longer appears on the main menu).
- Players can now change texture packs in-game.
