Sorry if im a bit late of updating, because i was away for some minutes and i live in Southeast Asia. The changelog has been updated, in time as 1.6 SNAPSHOT 13w16a releases.
Didn't knoe about the new launcher. sweet.
ALSO: Horses aren't 100% confirmed. the picture jeb tweeted might be a rouse.. but I'd love to see horses, along with everything else in that picture. XD
Minecraft on PC (and mac and linux\\) reaches 10 mil. sales, Mojang gave a hint for the new mob, Horses for the next update!
Shush with the ModAPI, will you? Seriously, they haven't mentioned it for 1.6. Nor have they officially mentioned the lighting upgrade (or maybe they did..).
Don't jump to conclusion based off tweets or what you want.
Yes, 1.6 will have new mobs. Yes, 1.6 will have a 6 in the version title.
That is all we know so far. Don't start rumors.
Honestly though, I don't care much about the ModAPI. I only use TMI (on occasion) and DivineRPG (but that's on MultiMC, so it doesn't change anything). I can live without TMI and mods, so whether it gets put in or not doesn't matter.
As for mobs, I'd like something ocean themed, but innovative. I suggested different kinds of fish on another thread, but that isn't really creative...
I forgot to mention that ModAPI is not on 1.6, it is being worked on and it is called Minecraft API. Of course, i don't care too much about the new ModAPI, though.
So far, the Mojang team planned these for 1.6 is as follows:
Support for Java 5 and PowerPC users will be dropped. (If you still use PowerPC or Java 5, there will be a warning on the menu.
Launcher updates: New password storing system, Increases performance, Allows LWJGL to be updated, fixing many launcher bugs, Supports Multiple Versions, Self Updatable, More user friendly.
New mobs : Horses, Donkeys
A major step toward the Plugin API.
Regional difficulty: The longer you spend in one area, the harder it gets.
Day/Night Cycles Update: There will be seasons in the game. During the winter season, there will be shorter day/night cycles.
New blocks: Hay Bales, carpets, Block of Coal, Hardened Clay
Horse updates: Horse Armor, Horse Saddle (will be deleted later, the same saddles [the one in the dungeons] will be used for both pigs and horses), Baby Horses (can be grown with apple, golden apple and wheat), Has various amount of health, Ridable movement controls (hold spacebar to increase jumping speed, release it to jump. Use movement keys to steer. Maximum jump height and movement speed differ between horses), Can be bred using wheat, drops leather when killed. Adjustments to horses makes them more practical later in the game
Donkey updates: Like horses, they can be rided, only, they can carry a chest on their back, meaning they are like Minecart with Chests
Riding mounts Update: You can only now dismount using sneak key (LSHIFT)
Respiration Improvement: Now helps see underwater!
Mob Difficulty: Regional Difficulty (mentioned above) and Scales with Difficulty
New items: Leashes (Now you can tie mobs in the fences! [note: bats and villagers are not included with leashes and mobs that despawn, still despawn in the leashes].), Name Tags
Creative Mode Updates: Added extra tooltip info in the search tab of the creative inventory, which shows that which the block or item where that item belongs to (category)
Mob Updates: Zombies now have a chance to spawn additional zombies
Comparators: Now gives out a signal on Cauldrons and End Portal Blocks
Biome Updates: Deserts no longer spawn water lakes (although they can be found in the edge of the desert)
