Snapshot time! We’ve fixed a whole bunch of bugs introduced in last weeks snapshots, introduced a few new commands and tweaked a few things that needed tweaking.
Notable additions for mapmakers:
/tp now supports rotation arguments
Player selectors (@p, @e, etc) now support cubic areas. For example: @e[x=0,y=0,z=0,dx=10,dy=10,dz=10] gets all entities between 0,0,0 and 10,10,10
Added /clone command to copy large areas to other areas
Added a /fill command to fill a large area with a block
Update: A ‘b’ snapshot has been released to fix lots of crashes!
The first snapshot of Minecraft 1.8 has arrived! This update will be split into two primary focuses: Survival gameplay & improvements, and new fancy abilities for adventure maps! We’ve done a whole bunch of optimizing for both the client and server (with more to come!) and lots more work towards the Plugin API in the background. As this is the very first snapshot of 1.8, do remember to backup your worlds before trying it!
Big survival changes:
3 new stone types!
Major Enchanting & Repairing changes!
Mossy stone bricks recipe!
Updated Villager trading!
Doors stack!
Slime blocks!
Lots of other tweaks, changes, bug fixes and secret features!
Big Adventure Map changes:
Adventure Mode no longer lets you place/destroy blocks.
/clear のオプションに引数を追加。最大アイテムをカウントする。(0を使うと実際に何もアイテムを削除しない。)Added optional arguments to /clear for max item count (use 0 to not actually delete anything) & NBT data （勝手に注釈：/clear が NBT データにどういう風に作用するのかいまいち分からなかったので、一応原文残しておく。）

Change of plan with the pre-release! We fixed some big bugs, namely large render distances now actually work (best seen on Singleplayer). Today we’re giving out a new snapshot to test this and other things, and if all goes well we’ll pre-release tomorrow (Friday!)
We’ll be releasing Minecraft 1.7.3 next week, with a pre-release this Thursday. As such, have a small bug-fix snapshot!
To get snapshots, open your launcher and press the “New Profile” button. Call it “snapshots” and check the box saying “Enable experimental development snapshots” and save. To switch to the normal version, you can select it in the dropdown at the bottom left corner of the launcher.
スナップショットを手に入れるにはランチャーを開いて、”New Profile”（新しいプロファイル）ボタンを押す。それを”snapshots”として名前をつけて、”Enable experimental development snapshots”のチェックボックスにチェックしてプProfileをセーブ。通常のバージョンと切り替えるには、ランチャーのドロップダウンボタンからそれ（セーブしたプロファイル）を選べばいい。
