4J Studios, developer of the console version of Minecraft, has issued a new update for the Xbox Edition of the game that adds horses to the game. https://twitter.com/4JStudios/status/545502160679882752 Among a raft of changes and additions that come as part of title update 19 is the arrival of horses - a stable of the PC version - and, of course, horse armour. There are also witches, bats, donkeys and mules, and a new tutorial world. The content update is rolling out now for Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of the game. But there's a hold up on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Vita - 4J said the update was still being tested by Sony. It should be out soon, though. https://twitter.com/4JStudios/status/545525728654422016 Full patch notes can be found below Spoiler Change log for Title Update 19 - December 18th 2014 Changes and Additions:- - Added new items Hardened Clay Stained Clay Block of Coal Hay Bale Activator Rail Block of Redstone Daylight Sensor Dropper Hopper Minecart with Hopper Minecart with TNT Redstone Comparator Weighted Pressure Plate Beacon Trapped Chest Firework Rocket Firework Star Nether Star Lead Horse Armor Name Tag Horse Spawn Egg - Added new Mobs Wither Wither Skeletons Witches Bats Horses Donkeys Mules - Added new terrain generation features - Witch Huts. - Replaced the Tutorial World with a new world containing some new mini-tutorials for the new functionality. - Added Beacon interface. - Added Horse interface. - Added Hopper interface. - Added Fireworks - Fireworks interface is accessible from the Crafting Table when you have the ingredients to craft a Firework Star or Firework Rocket. - Added 'Adventure Mode' - You can only break blocks with the correct tools. - Added lots of new sounds. - Mobs, items and projectiles can now pass through portals. - Repeaters can now be locked by powering their sides with another Repeater. - Zombies and Skeletons can now spawn with different weapons and armor. - New death messages. - Name mobs with a Name Tag, and rename containers to change the title when the menu is open. - Bonemeal no longer instantly grows everything to full size, and instead randomly grows in stages. - A Redstone signal describing the contents of Chests, Brewing Stands, Dispensers and Jukeboxes can be detected by placing a Redstone Comparator directly against them. - Dispensers can face in any direction. - Eating a Golden Apple gives the player extra "absorption" health for a short period. - The longer you remain in an area the harder the monsters that spawn in that area will be. - New Game and Host options (Daylight Cycle, Keep Inventory, Mob options, Tile drop and a Regeneration option)
