And finally, Minecraft 1.6 - the “Horse Update”, will be released next week! The update has leads, carpets, hard clay, donkeys, mules, and of course horses! This update requires a new Minecraft launcher to load. We’ll post more info about that here and on Mojang.com when it’s ready.

On the other hand he's right about it no being minecraft news. Keep on topic people.

1.6 The "Horse Update"

Might revisit Dragons sometime in the future
Mob attributes were added for custom map makers
Updated LWJGL Version
Switched to Java 6 (1.6)
OpenGL 2.0

still slight chance Minecraft could be on steam, but unlikely
hope they can replace MCP (for modding) with their own ui
Achievement system (user data) needs to be stored on their server, but won't be anytime soon
Resource packs won't store gamerules, only for graphics and sound
Chairs and Tables? no plans right now. He's worried about not being able to vary looks easily (like the bed, always looks the same)
If they do a biome update, it's likely they'd add temples and dungeons to the new biomes
Tinted Glass? maybe, they need to solve some stuff first. some really really really tricky stuff
Shader support "should" eventually be part of the mod API
the API won't support stuff like Optifine. Eventually Optifine should be unnecessary
HD skins? maybe. he wants to update the whole skin system at some point
World Edit in creative mode? no, creative is for building. But this should be covered by the mod api
More Dimensions? unlikely, would rather improve the current dimensions
More hostile mobs? yes, Dinnerbone wants to improve customizing this for mapmakers
can we change our skin from the new launcher? ”that’s something we should consider”
might be able to dye more types of things, but haven’t really talked about it
add sponges? no plans right now. flowing water creates issues with this
Minecraft Realms: main goal is to make it easy for parents to host a server for their children
Minecraft Realms: will also be able to host competitive servers

Lol. Right. "eventually". Unless by that they mean "eventually computers will speed up faster then we can slow down rendering" I seriously doubt this.

Sigh...ok, just fuck right off. I was really hoping I was correct in saying that the update might be months away :)

I do believe this is going to be a huge fucking "whatever" update for me. Not only do none of the new features interest me and just represent more code I have to rip out of the game, but the changes to the resource system just mean additional headaches in having to convert over to yet another new file format after having done exactly that for 1.5.

So yeah, I've been in no hurry to update to the last few versions of MC, and I think that will be doubly true here. Just glad I got the ML substitute into the mod so that it will hopefully reduce the amount of confusion when people try to downgrade to a previous version of MC to install the mod.
