The Libertas Server is proud to announce its update to Minecraft 1.6.2 – the Horse Update!
This update brings some major changes that everyone should research (here is a basic place to start)
Most notable changes:
- Horses, Donkeys, and Mules! They are spawned in plains biomes, trainable, rideable, and pretty much awesome. Look them up!
- New Blocks! Including baked clay (stainable!), coal blocks, and hay bales.
- Minecarts! Nothing too exciting, but you now hit Left Shift to exit a minecart. Important to know.
- ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Zombies now will see and approach you from 40 blocks away (previously only 16), AND have a chance to spawn friends when they take damage. This means that fighting in the dark can quickly escalate until you are surrounded by an ANGRY HORDE OF DOZENS OF ZOMBIES (leading to the fresh-coined unit of measurement, the dozombie).
- MORE ZOMBIES! Zombies and pigmen can now spawn as babies, which are wicked fast, small, and don’t burn in the sun. As if the hordes weren’t bad enough. This game just got a lot harder.
To update your game experience you will need to download the NEW LAUNCHER here. The old program does not work anymore. You will also need new Resource Packs (the Texture Pack system replacement which allows customized textures, sounds, and more). We are working on a semi-official resource pack for people who like that sort of thing. It is still a work in progress, but available here. (If you just want a higher-res version of the default, look at Minecraft Enhanced. Many people on the server use John Smith Legacy).
Happy riding, building, and surviving!
