Minecraft 1.6 details

[Sorontar]

So far, Minecraft 1.6 has been kept secret. However, last night Minecraft sold its 10,000,000 copy, becoming the 7th best selling PC game ever. So Jens decided to release a 1.6 teaser.

Minecraft (PC) has hit 10M! As promised, a subtle hint on the main 1.6 feature (thanks @ebbakier): http://imgur.com/qAuCLex

So what do you think it is? Loose stones or female skins?

Also big thanks to @DrZhark, the creator of Mo' Creatures, that have assisted us to make it happen!

Contrary to popular belief, I am not the only person here who likes horses or the idea of ridable mounts in Minecraft...

So, Sor is a big fan too?

In fact, Jens accidentally made it "public knowledge" during Mojam.

He accidentally showed his MC code. It had files for horses of all sorts of colours and a donkey and gold and metal armour.

ps. MiniObsi had a rode a pony yesterday, so, yes, all our family has equine emotions at the moment, but this has been a very dominant aspect of fans' requests to Mojang for a long time.
pps. They also came up when he was looking through the thumbnails of files. Someone saved a copy of the screen at that moment at http://i.imgur.com/5tz0lwK.jpg.
Though they might have been reference pics from Mo's Creatures

Heading into battle on horseback will be cool. Will hopefully be able to fire a bow.

Maybe we start building a race track in advance

Can't wait to get my hands on the 1.6 source code to play around with.
