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 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.

Bugs

Creepers being the only mob that spawns at night

• This version had leftover debug code that caused creepers to be the only mob that would spawn. This was later fixed with the release of Alpha v1.2.4_01.
