'''1.2.4''' is a minor update to {{JE}} released on March 22, 2012,<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.mojang.com/2012/03/minecraft-patched-to-1-2-4/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www.mojang.com/2012/03/minecraft-patched-to-1-2-4/|title=Minecraft Patched to 1.2.4|author=Jens Bergensten|website=Mojang.com|date=March 22, 2012}}</ref> which adds new [[planks]] and sandstone blocks, improves chat editing, and fixes some of the bugs and crashes in 1.2.3.

== Additions ==
{{Additions table

|Spruce Planks
|Jungle Planks
|Cut Sandstone
|Chiseled Sandstone
}}
=== Blocks ===
; [[File:Birch Planks JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Birch wood planks]]
; [[File:Spruce Planks JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Spruce wood planks]]
; [[File:Jungle Planks JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Jungle wood planks]]
* All planks currently have the same tooltip: "Wooden Planks".

; [[File:Cut Sandstone JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chiseled Sandstone JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Sandstone]] variants
* Uses a modified version of the unused sandstone texture from [[Java Edition 1.2.1|1.2.1]].
* Has the same name as the normal sandstone.

== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===

* Slightly removed saturation out of every color, changing from [[File:Beta color spectrum.png|128px]] to [[File:1.2.4 color spectrum.png|128px]].

; [[File:Sandstone JE2 BE2.png|32px]] [[Sandstone]]
* Texture changed from [[File:Sandstone JE1 BE1.png|32px]].

=== Mobs ===
; [[Cat]]s
* When in a standing position, cats now purposely go and sit on nearby [[chest]]s, active [[furnace]]s, and [[bed]]s.
** This prevents players from using them.

; [[Pig]]s
* Saddles can no longer be put on baby pigs. Saddled baby pigs from previous versions can update to this version and still be ridden.

=== Gameplay ===
; [[Chat]]
* Added chat history and improved chat editing.
** Links are now clickable in chat.
*** When clicked, a warning screen appears that asks players if they want to continue.
** Players can copy and paste links in chat.
** The mouse wheel can be used to scroll up/down for history.
*** {{key|PAGEUP}} and {{key|PAGEDOWN}} keys can also be used
** Up/down keys scroll through recently sent messages.
* When typing a player's name, pressing {{key|Tab}} automatically fills in the rest of the username.
** Text can now be copied and pasted.
** Similar to how the [[formatting code]] {{key|§k}} displays random characters in chat, {{key|§l}}, {{key|§m}}, {{key|§n}} and {{key|§o}} creates bold, striked, underlined and italic text respectively, while {{key|§r}} resets any set states
*** These cannot be typed using vanilla clients
** Pressing {{key|/}} acts as a [[command]] key: it opens the chat with a {{cd|/}} in place.
** Pressing {{key|left}} or {{key|right}} moves the insertion point (text pointer) in the respective direction, allowing text to be modified.

; Out of Memory screen
* Added "Back" and "Quit" buttons

; [[Debug screen]]
* Added a "minimal" debug menu
** The same as the regular {{key|F3}} menu, except without the graph/profiler.
** Accessible by {{key|Shift+F3}}.

; [[Inventory]]
* Re-added armor outlines in the armor slots in the inventory.
* Text color lightened to {{color|#565656}}.
