Single & Multiplayer Adventure
Minecraft is a first-person fighter/sandbox construction game created by Mojang AB.
Minecraft Snapshot 12w18a
This week we've started working on separating the server logic from the client. The purpose of this is both to make it easier for us to add features (since we don't have to implement stuff “twice”), and also to make it possible for you to invite people to play on your local computer without setting up a server.

WARNING! This update's enchanting is broken, and singleplayer has inherited all multiplayer bugs! Including movement lag!
Important! This week's snapshot is extra experimental!
This week we've started working on separating the server logic from the client. The purpose of this is both to make it easier for us to add features (since we don't have to implement stuff “twice”), and also to make it possible for you to invite people to play on your local computer without setting up a server. In other words, more like how it works on Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
The work has not been completed yet, though, but a snapshot's a snapshot. However, the game should still run fine, and we've also made some other tweaks:
More fixes to silk touch and block picking
Wooden tools work in furnaces
Villagers spawned from spawning eggs will get a random profession
Updated language files
Etc…
Get the snapshot here:
Client: Assets.minecraft.net* (See below!)
Server: Assets.minecraft.net (or EXE)
* The client now comes with both the client-side and the server-side JAR files. The file called “minecraft.jar” should be in your “.minecraft/bin” folder as usual, and the “minecraft_server.jar” file should be in a folder called “.minecraft/server”.

Woah being able to join local worlds? Yes! I've been waiting for this!
(buried)
it's a bad thing, because it means that now singleplayer worlds can be griefed by neighbors or just people on laptops nearby. The only GOOD implementation of local servers is to have that be a multiplayer menu option.
I am sure that they can be set so others cant join it like in pocket version.
Your able to control who's allowed to join.
I don't want to get this, just because of the bugs, but I can't wait for this stuff to be added in 1.3! Sounds awesome!
What about multiplayer mod support? my idea was that when you join a server you download the host's mincraft.jar and puts it in a tempuary folder so you can play without problems or messing up your minecraft.jar.
Please excuse my spelling, im half asleep
This will mark the downfall of Minecraft if they continue with this merging of multiplayer and single player. You can't even play single player without a net connection[I tried you can't play] and if they continue I will leave the game.
Because what there doing is going to force people to stay online while they play single player which I shouldn't call it single player anymore it's more like solo multiplayer.
you can still play, its just that usually your skin won't load. or at least that's what it is for me.
I have tried to play with no net active cause I removed my cable from my computer and wouldn't even let me create a new world unless I had a net access.
And as I stated this is not a good move for them cause it will create a ton of lag and problems for people who have low end computers and SMP servers will cause some lag to them, so this move will ultimately spell there downfall and cause a ton of people to stop playing the game.
Now if they don't implement SMP features into SSP then and only then will they redeem themselves.
Until then it's a no go.
You only need to be online to download the game, once it is downloaded you can play offline. If it isn't working for you then you are doing it wrong.
not in this snapshot. If the features of this snapshot stay as it says above then that means NO MORE OFFLINE MODE. Do not try to contradict me on this what Tilranus says is true.
Its wip. I would be suprised if mojang realy went ahead and make this mp only game. Probaply side effect of having this merging thing for now
try not being cocky by saying "do not contradict me". :T
I have not tested this, but it makes logical sense that it's broken in the snapshot. so yeah. definitly not good.
The only way I would see local servers as good would be if it were handled like how most games do it. in the actual multiplayer menu. Why do we even have that menu if singleplayer is going to be forced into servers?
Also, wasn't being cocky, I was trying to state an observation based on past evidence.
This is how Minecraft should have been from the beginning! (ofc without the bugs)
What kind of snapshot is this, how pathetic. I'm almost as disappointed now as I was when I learned they were making Minecraft for Xbox.
