1.6 brought with it some unfortunate bugs, but they are being squashed in record time! Mojang really rolled up their sleeves on this one, and the bug-fix list is almost too huge to put in one place. Doesn’t mean we aren’t doing it anyway!
The patch is focused on sorting out bugs and issues that people have found. Notable bug fixes are:
- Fixed horses starting to suffocate when touching walls
- Fixed animals escaping their pens
- Improved sprinting behavior
- On Mac, holding Ctrl while left-clicking now counts as a right-click
- Custom fonts look better
Full list of fixes:
- Powered pistons drop as items in creative
- Player’s and Horses head while riding having strange behaviour when looking at the skin in the inventory
- Animals going out of fenced areas/suffocate in blocks when loading chunks
- Chat concurrency issues
- Packet flood degrades server peformance
- When putting a sign in front of water it keeps running
- Trapped Chest looks like Regular Chest in inventory / item frame
- Attacking wild Wolves with any kind of projectiles (Arrows, Snowballs, Potions) will cause any nearby tamed Wolves to attack their owner
- Reloading a world while player is in moving Minecart or riding a horse is glitchy in F5 mode
- Horses can be pushed into blocks and then take suffocation damage
- Ctrl+Click = Right Click on Mac not working
- Leads attached to mobs drop as items when right clicked in creative
- Numlock Enter not recognized as Return
- Direct Connect does not remember port
- Rope part of the leash turns invisible in some angles

- Gliding crosshair when on a saddled horse
- “Nether-Fortress-Only” Mobs no longer spawning in previously generated Fortresses
- Unarmored horses appear as wearing diamong armor
- Baby Zombies are far too fast
- Cannot change Horse Armor like Player Armor by clicking with another armor piece on slot
- Sprint does not happen straight away
- Distorted fonts when using a converted texturepack on startup
- Breaking sound and particles appear when placing water/lava into another source block
- The “clear” command is causing a player in creative mode to be unable to move items in their inventory.
- /clear command causes problems with animations of held items
- Health boost resets additional health every 30 seconds
- Signs placed on Fences don’t have Text
- Trying to jump on an unsaddled Horse, then equipping it with a saddle makes the Horse jump automatically
- 1.5.2 clients show server 1.6.1 as 1.3 in Multiplayer screen

DOWNLOAD
You can download the new launcher for the following systems:
Windows: Server 1 Download – Server 2 Download
MAC/OSX: Server 1 Download – Server 2 Download

To install the launcher, simply download and run the program.
Manual installation
Minecraft for Windows
Download Minecraft.exe. Place it anywhere you want, then run it.
Minecraft for Mac OS X
Download Minecraft.zip. Unpack and place Minecraft in your /Applications folder.
Minecraft for Linux / Other
Download minecraft.jar. The jar is executable and might work as-is. If you run into memory issues, try launching it with java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame, also please use Sun’s JVM.
Multiplayer Server
If you’re running on Windows and just want to set up a server easily, downloadMinecraft_Server.exe and run it.
If you want to run the server on any other OS or without GUI it’s a bit more involved. First make sure you can use java from the command line. On Linux and Mac OS X this should already be set up but on Windows you might have to tinker with the PATH environment variable. Download and run minecraft_server.jar with java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui.
