Minecraft Update to 1.6.6 Beta

Minecraft Beta 1.6.6

The latest Minecraft client update is now available for download. This update is a much needed bug fix release, correcting many issues present in the recent v1.6 series of releases, it also includes some gameplay changes.

* Added a new use for bonemeal.
* Changed the material of glowstone from “glass” to “stone”. This means you need a pickaxe to get resources from it.
* Made glowstone drop more loot.
* Made the recipe sizes for creating cloth blocks and glowstone blocks smaller (2×2 instead of 3×3).
* Re-introduced unlimited FPS, renamed the option again.
* Fixed beds not working very well at all in SMP.
* Fixed destroying a boat spawning the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground.
* Boats float up to the surface quicker.
* Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum very fast.
* Removed Herobrine.

Minecraft Server Updated for 1.6.5

Minecraft Beta 1.6.5 Released
Hey guys, just a short update on the current look of things. Minecraft Server has been updated to version 1.6.5, but we are on a temporary map until Notch fixes more bugs and until a RECOMMENDED Bukkit Build is out. Currently, something in Notch’s coding or the server files is causing the server to be highly unstable, so just hang tight and enjoy the weekend while everything gets sorted out =) We will be back to our regularly scheduled programming in no time!
