Today is Thursday which means more fun Minecraft goodies in the form of a weekly snapshot!

Today's snapshot for week 22 brings us a new Redstone-activating block, minor terrain changes, a lot of small changes, and a warning to all players who choose to download these previews of "possibly broken features".

Here is a quick overview of some of the changes introduced in today's Minecraft Snapshot 12w22a.

• Trading with villagers has been updated
• Enchantment system has been rebalanced
• A new Redstone-activating block
• Better Creative inventory
• Pausing should work in single-player now
• Some minor terrain changes
• Added an “adventure” game mode (/gamemode 2), but requires more work
• A lot of smaller changes and fixes

As always, if you discover anything neat hidden in the update, let us know in the comments below.

You can download the snapshot here:

• Client
• Server

In today's update, Minecraft lead developer Jens Bergensten also issued a warning to all PC players that these snapshots can potentially harm your saved games.  He also posted instructions on how to download and install the weekly updates.
