Notch has today released details of what Minecraft Beta 1.6 will include and the bugs that it fixes.
While the list of features is small there are close to 100 bug fixes which will most likely majorly help the game in the future as well as make playing more enjoyable.
The Nether will now be playable in multiplayer, tall grass will occasionally grow and mushrooms will spread out. Players will be able to craft two new items hatches and maps; which should stop players getting lost so easily.
As for the fixes they range from, players stuck in walls will slide towards the nearest gap if there is one to rain sounds not playing with fast graphics enabled. Also a majorly helpful fix is that the game won’t crash when riding a vehicle or animal into the Nether.
