The Horse Update: 1.6 Is Now Live!
1.6 is now out on the Minecraft Launcher, and ready to play! David and Toby go over many of the new features - enjoy!
GETTING THE NEW LAUNCHER
You need the most recent Minecraft launcher (if you do not have it already)! Remember, the old launcher is no longer supported, and you will need this version in order to continue receiving updates and support!

May I add on to the cons if you don't mind?
Current nether fortresses do not spawn blazes or wither skeletons anymore, even if there are blaze spawners.
To get more to spawn, find a new fortress in new chunks.
It is a bug though.
Very nice list though you have there.
Yes, but you have to go REALLY far out to load new chunks to find them.
Yeah. I don't like the first part. Unless your house doesn't fall under that, that's pretty rediculous.
Oh and then there's this part of the version history that I hate with a passion:
I'm not happy about that. So if I want to regenerate in combat I have to stuff my face? No thank you.
Yes, You are
How can I play beta 1.7.3? /disappoint
First: Do you use a PowerPC based computer and/or java 5 or lower? Support for those was dropped.
Second: The launcher is not done yet. They wanted to get it functioning for the update. They will make it pretty soon. And who cares about the launcher looks anyway? You only have it open for like 3 seconds before clicking the login button.
Third: You can't always expect a server to be in the latest version RIGHT when the update comes out. It takes time to update plugins and other stuff.
EDIT: After logging off/on, it switched back to the normal tame wolf texture.
My dad is stuck in a minecart and can't get out with any key, I keep launching undergrowned and then magically appearing above ground. (We're both Mac users)
Some are having FPS issues with this...but I had them with 1.5.2, and this has cured them. Guess my setup is more compatable with this version...so whilst is bad for some..I'm happy!
Love the idea of the resource packs. Texture +
Love the horses lots. Just wish there was a craftable saddle, rather than having to search for dungeon chests to find one. Just want to craft one, and go riding!
Really like the idea of the increasing difficulty. Keeps the challenge going. As a compulsive castle builder, it really does appeal to me
carpets, clay blocks, redstone blocks ( at last.... )are all bonus stuff for me.
It's all good!
Also, for added amusement, are all the owners of pirate versions asking for help to update their games.
Same with me, and people, don't give me any excuses about them not supporting Macs anymore, because every update has worked fine 'till this one.
I don't want to see a giant screen of code loading and then the launcher staying up in the background while the game is running.
Also, damn, they fixed it so I can't play LAN with the same account as my brother by having one of us play offline and then turn the Wi-Fi back on and connect to the LAN Server.
