'''Alpha v1.2.4''' (mislabeled as '''Alpha v1.2.3_05''' in game[{{reddit|ee0io||Minecraft 1.2.4 out now!|squatly|November 30, 2010}}]) is a version of [[Java Edition Alpha]] released on November 30, 2010,[[[wordofnotch:2050336602|Bug update #3.]] – The Word of Notch, November 30, 2010] as the third part of a bug-fix update.
== Additions ==
* Added proper hurt animations and sounds to [[mob]]s and [[player]]s.
== Changes ==
* The multiplayer join server screen now remembers the latest entered IP.
* Creepers now animate before exploding.
** Explosions animate properly.
* Increased chunk saving frequency on the server.
* The player can now see sneaking players. Names of sneaking players aren't visible through walls, and are visible at a much shorter distance.
* [[Button]]s, [[lever]]s, and [[pressure plate]]s animate properly when activated.
== Fixes ==
; 8 bugs fixed
* Leaving sneak mode no longer rapidly plays all the step sounds that it silenced during the sneak.
* Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly.
* Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts.
* Made arrows visible and deal damage.
* No more infinite free arrows.
* Hoes now produce proper [[Wheat Seeds|seeds]].
* Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it.
* Fixed minecarts and pigs moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.
== Trivia ==
* When [[Notch]] released v1.2.4, he accidentally labeled it as v1.2.3_05 in game. This version also had leftover debug code that caused [[creeper]]s to be the only mob that would spawn. This was later fixed with the release of v1.2.4_01, which means there was never a client version of v1.2.4.
