Minecraft 1.6 - Horse Update

It’s soon time for Minecraft 1.6! This release is dubbed the “Horse Update”, but has a lot of other features too. [Upcoming features]

If you still want to login to the server when 1.6 comes out, please read below!


Roly's Minecraft runs CraftBukkit like most other servers.

This means when you update your Minecraft client straight away to 1.6, you won't be able to connect to Roly's Minecraft while we...

1) Wait for bukkit to release a stable/working version of CraftBukkit
2) On the test server we need to test out all the plugins. Make sure all the necessary plugins work, eg. Land Protection, iConomy, SignShop etc.
3) Once its all a-okay I'll upload the updated server files to the Main Server
4) This could take a unknown amount of time (a day to a week, depending if anything breaks)

Now there is actually many easy ways to get around this,

Before upgrading your client (Do NOT click upgrade when you log into Minecraft) you have to first back up your current copy and then upgrade. So you will have multiple copies of Minecraft on your computer, then you can then switch between them to play 1.5 and 1.6!

Most experienced online players have done this many times and will have their own methods of achieving this.. for the rest...

Google: How to Run Multiple Versions of Minecraft
By the way there is more that one way to achieve downgrading. Google is your friend :mine-D:

Like I said above, it will take a unknown amount of time since I cant see into the future. (Though normally only takes a few days, from past experiences)

Will keep you all updated in this topic about the process with Roly's Minecraft and 1.6 when it comes out.

For those who forget and do update

You can get any previous version of minecraft by using this trick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
step 1: copy and paste the following link into your browser:

http://assets.minecraft.net/

Step 2: Type the version you want, using underscore instead of full stops. i.e. version 1.5.1 would be: 1_5_1

Step 3: add a / on the end, plus minecraft.jar
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So... the whole line for version 1.5.1 would be:

http://assets.minecraft.net/1_5_1/minecraft.jar

Simply click, or just cut and paste the line above if you need 1.5.1, or alter the numbers for the version you want.

If you are using a PC remember to "save as" - type "all files" (not a zip!!)

Place the downloaded minecraft.jar in your %appdata% .minecraft /bin folder and you are ready to re-join us on rolyd.com!

Edit: 1.6 launcher test

I tested the 1.6 new launcher today and was able to get on rolyd.

If you do the 1.6 update, here's how:

Top right of the new launcher screen is a drop-down Profile box. Choose "New Profile" Name it Rolyd.

Then it asks you for a version, select 1.5.2

The version I was testing required user id and password to login again (It forgot)

It quickly gets the 1.5.2 version and runs it.

Then connect to Rolyd as usual :)

Next time, on, just choose the Rolyd profile again.

When Roly has updated everything, you will be able to connect with the 1.6 client, as he explains above.

Re: Minecraft 1.6 - Horse Update

Its not 1.3, its 1.6, you have to use the new minecraft launcher. To get the new launcher, it will be in the news feed with the old launcher.

If you can't find it, heres the link

Re: Minecraft 1.6 - Horse Update

On the old launcher it says 1.3 but its really 1.6.1 with the new one.
