Minecraft 1.6 Preview

Zevrix

Woof
Though 1.5 and 1.5.1 have barely passed us, Mojang has already been working on some cool stuff for 1.6. I'm sure this won't be everything released with the next update, but it's a neat preview.

The biggest new feature? Horses!

Zevrix, y u no join us on the server? :alien6:
 
Thought about it today, but got sidetracked. I've got a day left to pack up things, then I'll have about a week of break and doing computery things before I move- then have to unpack for a week or so. @_@

I might pop on when I have a free moment if I'm not playing GW2. :)
 
uhhh mules that carry chests and horses with armor..man they just upped the exploration ante...and think about it we can setup supply caravans to each other and NPC villages.
 
Nope you didn't enjoy minecraft the first time around and you aren't allowed to change your mind.
