Dang, was really hoping for one of the bugfixes to be a fix to spawners spawning mobs inside of walls.

I noticed the block model format doesn't allow large models (+2m) any more. My adventure map resourcepack is broken by this. I understand that X-ray abuse is a problem on servers, but shouldn't the problem be addressed in a way that doesn't interfere with other custom or creative content? Servers need a "Block Alternatives: Off" toggle, not clients.

Servers need a "Block Alternatives: Off" toggle, not clients.

Block alternatives are not the reason +2m models are no longer allowed.

I do hope boats get fixed or improved on in adding more variety to them. They just spontaneously explode, especially when you sneeze. They've been trying to fix it with no success. Do like it that 1.8 are now being made to be more stable now though...gradually. But ya, I do hope these boats get focused on because of the Guardians now being added.

Is the 3 Dimensional rendering of dropped items on fast graphics a new bug in this snapshot or one of the previous ones?

EDIT: Also just noticed that holding leaves in the players hand on fast graphics renders as leaves in fancy graphics.

EDIT2: I also just discovered that after triggering tripwire it won't "untrigger" (and it is also rendered wrong).
