Horse Update

Overview

The Horse Update gave the game its first real mount, and because every horse rolls its own speed, jump strength and health, breeding for a good one became a genuine side activity. Leads made moving livestock possible without pushing them one block at a time. Stained clay quietly became the most-used building block of its era, and remains the defining material of mesa biomes.

What it added

  • Horses, donkeys and mules with randomised speed, jump and health stats
  • Horse armour in iron, gold and diamond
  • Leads for moving animals overland
  • Carpets and hay bales
  • Stained clay, later renamed terracotta, in all sixteen colours
  • The block of coal
  • Resource packs replacing the old texture pack system
