Alpha v1.2.4 (mislabeled as Alpha v1.2.3_05 in game[1]) is a version of Java Edition Alpha released on November 30, 2010,[2] as the third part of a bug-fix update.
Additions
Changes
- The multiplayer join server screen now remembers the latest entered IP.
- Creepers now animate before exploding.
- Explosions animate properly.
- Increased chunk saving frequency on the server.
- The player can now see sneaking players. Names of sneaking players aren't visible through walls, and are visible at a much shorter distance.
- Buttons, levers, and pressure plates animate properly when activated.
Fixes
8 bugs fixed
- Leaving sneak mode no longer rapidly plays all the step sounds that it silenced during the sneak.
- Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly.
- Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts.
- Made arrows visible and deal damage.
- No more infinite free arrows.
- Hoes now produce proper seeds.
- Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it.
- Fixed minecarts and pigs moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.
Trivia
- When Notch released v1.2.4, he accidentally labeled it as v1.2.3_05 in game. This version also had leftover debug code that caused creepers to be the only mob that would spawn. This was later fixed with the release of v1.2.4_01, which means there was never a client version of v1.2.4.[1]
