12w04a is the second snapshot for Java Edition 1.2.1, released on January 26, 2012,[1] which adds ocelots, jungle saplings, bottles o' enchanting, and fire charges.

Additions

Blocks

Jungle Sapling

  • Can be grown into the new jungle trees.
  • Growing a 4×4 square of jungle saplings to create large jungle trees.

Items

Bottle o' Enchanting

  • Can be thrown similarly to splash potions and spawns experience orbs upon breaking.

Fire Charge

  • Can be shot out of dispensers to launch fireballs and can be placed to create fire.

Ocelot Spawn Egg

  • Spawns the ocelot mob.

Mobs

Ocelots and cats

  • New jungle-specific mob that can be tamed with raw fish.
  • Ocelots turn into cats when tamed.

World generation

Desert Wells

  • Newly generated structures which are exclusive to desert biomes.

Changes

Blocks

Dispensers

  • Texture changed from .

Oak saplings

  • Texture changed from .

Vines

  • Players are slowed when going through vines due to their nature of being a collisionless ladder.

Items

Spawn eggs

  • Eggs set to spawn arbitrary data IDs (such as giants, ender dragons, ender crystals) no longer spawn those entities.
  • Now only spawn the mobs available in the creative inventory.

Mobs

General

  • Mobs have a new AI with new and improved behaviors.

Gameplay

Chat

General

Languages

  • Updated language files.

Trivia

  • In the title screen, when the language is set to Afrikaans, this snapshot includes a phrase in English calling the user a racial slur in place of the Singleplayer button's text. Mojang lead developer Jens Bergensten acknowledged the problem and explained that it was the result of a prankster abusing the open translation system. The offensive content was removed in the next snapshot, and the responsible user was banned.[2]
    • When the language is set to "Ingles (Uruguay)", the "Singleplayer", "Multiplayer" and "Texture Packs" button texts are replaced with the Spanish phrase "Otra razón para odiarte...", which translates to "Another reason to hate you...". It's very likely that this is also a prank, as both the language title and the main menu buttons' contents weren't vandalized in the previous snapshot.
