Minecraft 1.6 snapshot

Mojang is goingto release the first snapshot from the development of 1.6. This version of Minecraft comes with huge changes to the base technology of the game. For instance, starting from Minecraft 1.6, mojang will build the game for Java 6 instead of Java 5. Mojang are also aiming to raise the required OpenGL version to 2.0 (from 1.2 / 1.3, that Minecraft 1.5 and prior versions are using). Additionally mojang is working on a new launcher that will support these libraries, and also come with a bunch of new features such as version changing, detailed game settings, and so on.

 Ok now the things that are new!
  • Added horses, based on the work of John Olarte (DrZhark), of Mo’ Creatures
  • Added hay bales
  • Added leashes
  • Added carpets with colours
  • The “Respiration” enchantment now also helps seeing underwater
To get the snapshot, use the new launcher available in the link below. To return to 1.5.1, simply start the old launcher and play as normal.
