Minecraft Snapshot 12w21b - Part 1

A bunch of new exciting things were added in this snapshot and the previous snapshot 12w21a so I thought I'd better write about them.

I'll start with the new creative inventory, this new implemented inventory has a handy tab system that separates the items into their respectful groups for easier spotting and adds functionality that the creative inventory was lacking beforehand.


I like the fact that they added a "Survival Inventory" tab so you can place items in if you're changing gamemode and whatnot.

Also a helpful "Search Items" tab has been added for those really hard to spot items. 

FINALLY... Testificates/Villagers have a purpose rather than walking around doing nothing. These guys will now offer to trade with you, and the in-game currency at this time is the new added ore 'Emerald'. These emeralds are apparently quite rare and hard to find so be on the lookout.

To mine emeralds you need either a iron or diamond pickaxe, wood/stone/gold pickaxes don't work.
Now back to the trading. Testificates can offer many things to sell or buy from you. A lot of the trades are rip-off considering that emeralds are such a rare find so watch out. When you complete a trade with a Testificate they will give off a purple swirls, similar to potion effects, and most of them will allow you to trade something else with them.

PYRAMIDS

These are found in desert biomes, and inside they hold treasure (might want to watch out for the dodgy looking pressure plate if you value your life).
