Lovely, another update with content basically stolen from the community.

They didn't even partially change the model or texture for the horses.

That's because the jackwad behind "mo' creatures" made the horses. He wanted to force his vision of the game on the community, and made a mob that graphically sticks out like a watermelon in a pile of grapes.

You really should read the content of the op before commenting.

"DrZhark: Responsible for horses! So many delicious horses!"

Also, Such a shame Mojang could never aford to make CPW a full time staff member.

Hey, better him than that [redacted] LexManos.

And Grum photobombs yet again. We shall never be rid of him.

*long, drawn out sigh*

Oh look, they removed Herobrine. For the 9th time running--ever since MC 1.7.3. He just keeps nosing his way back in there, don't he?

*even longer and slightly more exasperated sigh*

Running jokes. Funny, yes, but... somehow, I feel like after 2 years of reading "Removed Herobrine" they might get, y'know, old. They should change it to "Purged Herobrine," because, come on, we all know Herobrine. One cannot simply kill (remove) Herobrine, only make him go away for a little while. Then he'll come back.... *nyak nyak nyak*

Anyways, 1.6 looks like it should be a fairly nice (if not particularly big) update. Look forward to becoming a Horse Archer

I wonder if it is more of a superstition now, constantly removing Herobrine lest he really come. Ah well. Would you rather a gaming company with no imagination or sense of humor? Then we'd all be playing a game where trees fall down when one part is punched out, we would need nails to keep our houses up, and the only hostile mobs would be the occasional villager with a pistol.

Thanks Mojang!!!!!!!!

I do wish he made it so that the first-person view of riding a horse was better (ex: muzzle rope doesn't move.)

I think that this is the first update that I am not gonna be excited about. Mojang may be finally letting the fame get to them. They are making changes to things that fine the way they are, instead of things that really need some attention. And wasn't this update initially about adding new mobs, not just horses and it's five varients? I was at first happy for horses, but Mojang should have definitely created their own horse and not let DrZ copy/paste his horse design and mechanics. They are too complex, graphic and gameplay wise, and should have stayed in Mo' Creatures.

I encountered a bug in that it appears that horses cannot breed anymore in Minecraft 1.6. I mount them and I still cannot use the wheat on them anymore. They're at full health but I thought you could breed horses at almost any time as long as they hadn't breed recently, whats going on here? Is this even intentional?

Newbie here, what does pre-release mean? Can some people get it or does everyone have to wait until July 1st to get the update?

it means that it is not the official update.

Love the update, except that it lags like crazy. I have to turn my render distance to tiny also. I don't have to do this for the current launcher that I usually use. I hope it doesn't stay like this.

What health tweaks?

You're not updating because there's a new mob ? Wow, how did you make it this far, they've been adding stuff since the first release.

Do you know this for certain, or are you just making stuff up? As in, have you heard from the developer that this is his models, and that he/she has not given permission?

Twitter hold many things for the eye to see. Jeb gives credit in one of his tweets to DrZhark for helping with the creation of the horses.
