'''12w08a''' is the eighth and the final [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.2.1]], released on February 23, 2012,<ref>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://www.mojang.com/2012/02/minecraft-snapshot-12w08a/|title=Minecraft Snapshot 12w08a|website=Mojang.com|author=Jens Bergensten|date=February 23, 2012}}</ref> which adds [[Minecraft:iron golem]]s and debug camera controls.<br />
<br />
== Additions ==<br />
=== Mobs ===<br />
'''[[File:Iron Golem JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Iron golem]]s'''<br />
* New utility mob.<br />
* One iron golem may spawn in a [[Minecraft:village]] for every 16 [[Minecraft:villager]]s<br />
* Can also be spawned by arranging 4 [[Minecraft:iron block]]s and a [[Minecraft:pumpkin]].<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
'''Controls'''<br />
* Added camera controls.<br />
** These were accidentally added. Jeb noted them as "deadmau5 camera" controls and would likely be removed again in an upcoming snapshot.<ref>{{tweet|jeb|172982497104240640}}</ref><ref>{{tweet|jeb|172983022038163456}}</ref><br />
** Pressing {{key|F6}} causes the player to get "stuck" to the camera until F6 is pressed again. This allows players to appear to phase into blocks.<br />
** Pressing {{key|F9}} causes the camera to freeze in its position, allowing to see the player model rotating in third person view.<br />
** Pressing {{key|Y}}, {{key|H}}, {{key|U}}, {{key|O}}, {{key|I}}, {{key|K}}, {{key|J}}, {{key|L}}, {{key|N}} and {{key|M}} change the camera positioning in a variety of ways. While pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time the camera may be reset (example: {{key|Y}} + {{key|H}} reverts that view back to normal, but {{key|U}} + {{key|O}} does not).<br />
<br />
== Changes ==<br />
=== Blocks ===<br />
'''[[Minecraft:Stairs]]'''<br />
* Can now be placed upside-down.<br />
<br />
=== World generation ===<br />
'''General'''<br />
* Lava ponds and flat stone areas now generate on the surface more frequently.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
'''[[Minecraft:Language]]s'''<br />
* Removed some Canadian English stereotypes.<br />
<br />
== Fixes ==<br />
'''1 bug fixed'''<br />
* Fixed [[Minecraft:the End]] and [[Minecraft:cavern]]s generation.</onlyinclude><br />
