'''13w04a''' is the sixth [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.5]], released on January 24, 2013.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130126020104/http://www.mojang.com/2013/01/minecraft-snapshot-13w04a/</ref>

An experimental version of 13w04a was released by [[Minecraft:Dinnerbone]] on [[Minecraft:Mojira]] to try and fix a white line bug.<ref>[https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-1794?focusedCommentId=40630#comment-40630 MC-1794 (comment 40630)] – Nathan Adams on Mojira, January 28, 2013.</ref>

== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
[[File:Smooth Sandstone JE3 BE1.png|width=32x32]] '''[[Minecraft:Smooth sandstone]]'''
* This block acted as a double sandstone slab. Breaking this block gives you 2 sandstone slabs.
* Currently unobtainable.

[[File:Block of Quartz JE1 BE1.png|width=32x32]] '''[[Minecraft:Smooth quartz]]'''
* Currently unobtainable.

=== Mobs ===
'''General'''
* Mobs now show the name given to them, either by renaming their [[Minecraft:spawn egg]] on an [[Minecraft:anvil]] or by external editors, above their head when the player looks directly at them within a circular 6 block radius.

=== Command format ===
'''[[Minecraft:Scoreboard]]'''
* A new [[Minecraft:command]] feature.
* Not 100% done yet.
* The scoreboard can be used to track deaths, players killing another player, players killing something a mob, or players activating commands.
* The complicated system uses a combination of name, display name, and criteria, and track an integer number of points for players.

== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[Minecraft:Command block]]s'''
* Now use their name instead of @ in the chat.

'''[[Minecraft:Dispenser]]s'''
* Now can face in all directions.
* Now equip players with [[Minecraft:armor]] from one block away.
* They now activate [[Minecraft:TNT]].
* They now use bone meal.
* They now use [[Minecraft:flint and steel]].
** This accurately decreases the [[Minecraft:durability]] of the tool.

'''[[Minecraft:Dropper]]s'''
* Now can face in all directions.

'''[[Minecraft:Redstone comparator]]s '''
* Can now be used with [[Minecraft:jukebox]]es.
* Output signal strength relates to the disk number.

'''[[Minecraft:Slab]]s'''
* 43:8 is now the "smooth stone full half-slab block".
* In general, if the top bit is set, the top texture is used on all sides, also allowing for smooth sandstone full half-slab blocks (43:9).

=== Items ===
'''[[Minecraft:Armor]]'''
* Held armor can be equipped by right-clicking.
** In this particular snapshot, this functionality is very faulty, prone to crashing and incorrect slot usage.
** It will be fixed in the next snapshot.

'''[[Minecraft:Bone meal]]'''
* No longer gives instant growth – instead, each use advances one growth stage:
** [[Minecraft:Wheat seeds]] require seven bone meal.
** [[Minecraft:Sapling]]s and [[Minecraft:cocoa beans]] require two bone meal to grow into [[Minecraft:tree]]s and cocoa pods, respectively.
** Brown and red [[Minecraft:mushroom]]s still grow into [[Minecraft:huge mushroom]]s instantly.
* Gives off green particles when used.
* ''Note: Dinnerbone has stated that he still has to balance out this new bonemeal growth system.''<ref>{{tweet|dinnerbone|294890450853167105}}</ref>

=== Mobs ===
'''General'''
* Mobs don't actively path over rails.

=== Gameplay ===
'''[[Minecraft:Creative]]'''
* The player can now hit mobs/players from five blocks away.
** This does not apply to [[Minecraft:Survival]] and [[Minecraft:Adventure]] mode, retaining the normal range.
