Suddenly, out of nowhere...SNAPSHOT TIME! What lies in store for today's amazing snapshot release? Let's take a look!
FEATURES:
- Added horses, based on the work of John Olarte (DrZhark), of Mo’ Creatures fame
- Added hay bales
- Added leashes
- Added carpets
- The “Respiration” enchantment now also helps seeing underwater
NEW MINECRAFT LAUNCHER? YES!
Dinnerbone and Grum have been hard at work creating a NEW Minecraft launcher, with some pretty sweet features! To get the snapshot, use the new launcher available in the link below. To return to 1.5.1, simply start the old launcher and play as normal. That's all there is to it!
Want to send feedback on the new launcher? Be sure to tweet @Dinnerbone, @Grum, or @jeb_ with your suggestions, or make a post right here!

IMPORTANT NOTES
- You might get an "unsafe" warning when trying to download the launcher. Disregard this, it is safe!
- Don't forget to report bugs you encounter at the links above! The launcher can be updated nearly instantaneously without additional downloads!
Get the client at mojang.com then.
1. Carpets? Hay Bales? Seems legit to be put in Minecraft.
2. Leashes? Cool, just happened to watch Captain Sparklez's Review on it and I loved the ending with the floating mobs tied on a pole( youtube.com/#/watch?v=0GYz6W2Khtw )
3. Horses? Somehow nerfs piggies and their own bacon.
4. Jump limit bar? Seems cool.
5. Horse Armor? Yeah sure, perfect for medieval stuff such as castles and RPG maps in minecraft.
6. Horse Riding being Controlled[like you're just the horse itself]? Looks like the beginning of Horse Parkour once you put that with their extreme jumping.
Also pne more thing, Why is Mojang hurrying up for 1.6, when we're still in 1.5.1? Y U No make 1.5.2+?
Carpets are annoying because you can't place anything on them.
I agree about the horses :D.
It was a joke, :P.
Some bozo didn't explain this part:
Its a work in progress. You can still use the old client to access 1.5.1, but need the new launcher for 1.6.
Nope. You can buy a PC Gamecard in local stores. Snapshots don't go away, but this one is part of a future update.
Installing the snapshot would add the folders. I'm not sure since I used the current client to add the folders, then ran the new client on top of it. Doesn't do much to the game, but you cannot join 1.5.1 servers.
Dinnerbone said this on Twitter:
Being from the US, I agree. Leashes are for dogs, leads are for horses.
I thought this too when I played on my old PC, but when I played on my laptop everything ran smoothly. Basically horses are so fast they tax low end PCs. That's really something else, don't you think?
Also carpets appear to be fire proof.
There is a server jar available. They could run the snapshot if they wish, but one server host told me he'll wait for the official release.
Still quite don't get it. Still, if they hurry that fast for 1.6 and not bother to make more in the 1.5.3-9, then I can finlly say this to that period.
While Mojang will say:
They didn't say when 1.6 is coming out.
the 2nd "1" in 1.5.1 just denotes a bug fix update. Unless 1.5.1 is extremely buggy, there won't be a 1.5.2 or more. 1.6 focuses on new features with whatever bug fixes they have planned.
Or just get the game legit.
Are you telling me you wouldn't want these?!!
No. Get out of here.
HA HA!
