It's time to update, everyone: the server is now running Minecraft 1.6.2! Note that you need to download a new launcher to be able to use the latest game version. You can find the download link near the bottom of this news post. Once the new launcher is installed on your computer, I suggest that you click the "Edit profile" buttton and select "release 1.6.2" as the "Use version" setting. That way, whenever the client gets an automatic update, you won't have to go switch back your settings until the server is compatible.

But what about HORSES!?
To make it easier for you to find horses, I'll be spawning some in the existing plains of the map. This means that you do NOT need to visit unexplored regions of the world to be able to find them! Likewise, each plain will have a chest or two on it. Inside, you'll find various horse armor sets and nametags.

It's probably a good idea to store your horse armor and saddles properly in a locked chest whenever you don'tt use them, as anyone can unequip a horse that you've tamed. Also, a newly bred horse will be wild: anyone can tame the baby once it has grown. Use this to give horses to others!
