Hey guys! So 1.6 is out! and of course, Minetown has a 1.6 temp server for players to play on while the servers are being updated!
With the new 1.6, there is a new launcher that is 100% needed to run 1.6. You will not be able to run 1.6 at all on the old launcher.
With that new launcher, you still need to do backups. This might be confusing to some people. The new launcher, uses the same directory(your .minecraft folder in %appdata%, or library on mac) as the old one. So, a backup of 1.5 is still needed if you wish to play. If you want to play on 1.5, you need to use the old launcher, want to play 1.6, switch your jar with the new one, and run the new launcher!
Here are some photos of sawine screwing around with the new horses on the test server!
You can connect to the test server at ss.mt.gg
(sawine and I hung our horses...)
If you have any questions about 1.6, feel free to ask! <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>
