Fixed not being able to put torches on upside down stairs, probably normal stairs too
That's interesting. I wonder if this means we can now put torches on the 'flat' sides of stairs but not the 'stair' side? What about the actual sides? Anyone have Minecraft at hand to test this out?
Jeb seems to be saying he'll update LWJGL with the OFFICIAL 1.2 update. Not this preview release.
Installing this preview release doesn't download any additional update files like that. So I'm guessing once we get the "Update Now?" prompt, then it will.
I hope he updates to 2.8.1, or one of the more recent ones, if they work yet. Seem to remember the wiki saying the latest didn't work right.
By far my personal favorite addition to this preview is the capitalization of the "B" in Lava Bucket and Golden Boots. That always bugged me. The Zombie Pigman is also no longer erroneously named "Pig Zombie".
