Minecraft Snapshot 12w21a Released

Hey there fans, Atzunew here with another update on everyone's favorite cuboid game - Minecraft Yesterday we discussed some of Mojang's plans in regards to updating their popular game and today is the day. They have released snapshot 12w21a which is packed with great content.  Below is a list of changes from Mojang themselves.
  • Villagers will trade items (they are cheap bastards, though!)
  • Added a “currency item”
  • A few minor terrain changes
  • A new useful block/item (requires obsidian)
  • Added a /seed command for showing the map seed
  • Added sandstone stairs
  • A lot of smaller changes and fixes
There are some really nice new features in this small update. The "End Chests" was the one item that was included from a suggestion on Reddit I presume, and currency will give new meaning to the gameplay in ways only Bukkit plugins could achieve before.

The emerald ore however is discolored, since it is supposed to be green like regular emeralds. Jeb has said via tweet that this is true: "The ore is supposed to be green, not red. Apparently I didn't commit the file". Below are some pictures of these new additions.
