    I will be doing some extensive testing of 1.3b. I will be looking at a lot of the recent updates, changes, and overall playability and will do a complete review/opinion here shortly. I would recommend others doing the same and reporting here as well. I think it would be great to have a thread dedicated to 1.3 and keep everyone well informed.

    If anyone would like to 1.3b .jar let me know.

    Look forward to seeing what everyone reports back!

    Thanks!

    Some initial findings regarding enchantments.

    -Level 30 is always displayed at the bottom and is only 845 orbs.
    -Did numerous level 30 enchantments and found higher and multiple enchhants are ver hard to get. I did about 50 on each tool and never saw eff5, power 5, or sharp 5 levels.
    -although its easier to level up exp wise. The great enchants seem harder to achieve compared to in the past.

    So far that has been my focus. Going to explore now.

    Will report more soon. :)

    Can you switch back to 1.2.5 after downloading the 1.3 snapshot? And could someone post a tutorial? I kinda just did it by trial and error but idk if other people know how to do it. Thanks

    Just make sure you save a backup of your 1.2.5 jar file somewhere other than the .bin folder. Then move the 1.3b jar into you bin folder to replace the 1.2.5 file. When your done playing around with 1.3 just rename it like 1.3b.jar and put the 1.2.5 backup back into the .bin folder from where you saved it.

    This is 1.3b celo. I believe there was a change from 1.3a that made higher level enchants garder to achieve. Ive got knock1 and unb 3 on several max enchants.

    Still have not found a village?? Did find one emerald after about an hour of mining.

    It appears that ice can now be picked up by silk touch picks. Is ice even sellable to the server? That might not even matter. Also, jungle leaves are now dropping cocoa beans. Cookies for everyone!

    When used to ingame command /xp I only used 510 to get to level 30 and it takes the same number of orbs for each levlel. As far as enchanting you only need 15 bookcases to get level 30 in you enchanment table. Havent explored the jungles or villager trading yet but I will.

    I understand that Level is capped at 30, but is Experience capped as well? Or can you still attain 10,000+ exp?
