If you want to play this snapshot, choose the "Snapshots" profile in your launcher. Keep in mind that snapshots are unstable - they can break your world if you are unlucky - keep backups!

Changes in this version:
World generation:
- 10 different ocean biomes - Deep and shallow of 5 temperatures: frozen, cold, normal, lukewarm, warm
- World generation should stay the same, but old chunks will only have normal oceans
- Underwater ravines/deep sea vents
- Some ocean ravines are deep enough to reach lava levels - this becomes both obsidian and magma
- Caves under the ocean can be filled with water

"We'll be using these for something real soon!"

Gameplay:
- Fixed items getting deleted when the inventory is overflowed by using the recipe book to return items from a crafting table
- Crash fix for joining Multiplayer without starting Singleplayer first.

Commands:
- Added a clickable link to the /locate command output
- Fixed items laying on the ground for a long time when not picking them up after /give
- Fixed /enchant being usable by non-ops
