Minecraft 1.6 has been officially released by Mojang. Version 1.6 includes the epic horse mob (based on Mo' Creatures), horse accessories (armour, carpets, leads) and also the new resource packs. You need the new launcher and an official Minecraft account to play Minecraft 1.6.
Full list of Minecraft 1.6 Features
Certainly not the best Minecaft version but respectfully saved by the inclusion of Horses with a little help from the creator of Mo' Creatures. Minecraft 1.6 is also the first version of Minecraft to use the resource pack instead of texture packs.
- Horses - variety of breeds
- Donkeys, mules - similar to horses in appearance
- Horse armour - suit up your horses and prevent them from getting hurt
- Leads - tie your horse to a fence and stop them wandering off
- Carpets - decorative items for map makers and people who love finesse
- Hardened clay, stained clay - decorative blocks
- Block of coal - a block or coal rather than coal pieces
- Hay bales - food item for horses
- Resource packs - used to store textures, sound and language files
- New day/night rule
- Herobrine removed - again!
Texture Packs do not work
If you missed out on the recent snapshots (and also our recent posts), then you'll need to be aware that Minecraft 1.6 doesn't support texture packs anymore. You MUST download the resource pack from the author OR use the official texture pack converter which is available here.
