Additions

Blocks

Minecraft:Chests

Added 3 new textures: xmaschest.png, largexmaschest.png, and skis.png.
- xmaschest.png changes the Minecraft:chest texture to resemble a red gift.
- largexmaschest.png changes the large chest texture to resemble a green gift.
  - Chests use these textures on December 25.
- skis.png is a unused dummy file. Minecraft:Dinnerbone said he added this file as a red herring.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

Items

Minecraft:Tools

Added tool highlight when switching items in the hotbar.
- Renamed items display the changed name.
- To disable it, player needs to open options.txt and change heldItemTooltips to false.

Mobs

Minecraft:Villagers

Minecraft:Enchanted books are now available through villager trading.

World generation

Minecraft:Dungeons

Minecraft:Enchanted books can be found in dungeons with special enchantments normally not obtainable.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Enchanting

Added Minecraft:Thorns enchantment for armor.
- When a player wearing such armor gets hit by a mob, the mob receives damage.

Changes

Items

General

Minecraft:Item entities are rendered as 3D objects in the world when in fancy graphics mode.
- This includes items placed in Minecraft:item frames.
Items now show their Minecraft:enchantments when dropped on the ground.

Minecraft:Firework rocket

Tweaked the effect the item gives and sounds.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Creative

Removed the Minecraft:firework rocket from the Minecraft:Creative inventory.

Minecraft:Enchanting

Minecraft:Efficiency now has no effect when using tools on the wrong block types.
Minecraft:Protection is no longer as effective as all the other Protection-type enchantments combined.
Minecraft:Unbreaking can be applied to anything with durability using enchanted books.

General

Minecraft:Controls

Pressing Template:Key by default (Or the "Drop" button if changed in controls), the player drops a full stack instead of one item.

Notices

Added a notice/warning for users still playing on PowerPCs or Java 5 (Java 1.5).
- Mojang plans to drop support for Java 5 by version 1.6.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/884921</ref> This is due to the most recent versions of LWJGL no longer supporting Java 5, with PowerPC also no longer supported by Apple to be made compatible with Java 6 or newer.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

Fixes

Template:Fixes

Trivia

12w50a is the first correctly labeled snapshot released on the 50th week of a year, as Minecraft:11w50a is labeled incorrectly as Minecraft:11w49a.
