    Minecraft 13w16a and new launcher!

    It is here! The new launcher and 13w16a it is one of the biggest updates in along time! This update includes the new Minecraft launcher (0.1) that lets you choose your version. The only version on the new launcher is the new 13w16a. Also this launcher is very very buggy and may not work for you, but it did for me.

    
    
    New Minecraft launcher


    The second main thing is the new Horses (Yes you did read that right!)! The only way to get them are too spawn them with a Spawn Egg. There are a bunch of different textures and fouls and donkeys (Mules). The Donkey has a chest on its back, possible to have it hold your items? There are also Undead and Skeleton Horses, but are only the texture files not actually in the game.

    Carpet, Hay, Leaches, Horse Saddles and Horse Armor are also new. Here is the full change log:

  • Added horses, based on the work of John Olarte (DrZhark), of Mo’ Creatures fame
  • Added horse armor (iron, gold, diamond)
    • Crafted with six iron/gold/diamond, and a wool block

  • Added horse saddle
    • Crafted with five leather and three iron ingots

  • Added hay bales
  • Added leashes
  • Added carpets
    • Carpets are made using 2 of your desired colors of wool in a horizontal line

  • The “Respiration” enchantment now also helps seeing underwater
  • You can now rash blocks/items in a same block/item ID, but has to be an other value, in creative
  • Hidden Donkey textures found, in Horse texture file

  • And click HERE (Will open in new tab) to go to the Mojang post and download.

    Google Play gets a sleek new look!

    So, the Google Play store will look sleeker then ever and the update that the company writes on the Official Android Blog. "The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page,".



    This update will effect all Android phones and tablets running Froyo (Android 2.2) or newer. It has bigger and closer images that make it easier and quicker to buy for favorite app, movie, or book!   Also Google has integrated more recommendation-based products to take advantage of the smaller display real estate.

    It started to roll out yesterday but may take up to 2+ weeks until it hits your devise!

    What do you think of the update? Tell me in the comments!
