Notch just dropped a bombshell on Twitter: patch 1.6 will be coming to the Minecraft beta next week. While it's probably taken a little longer than originally planned, it's for a good reason. The patch was primarily a bug-fix update that would include only one new feature: an awesome in-game map system.
Then a few weeks ago Notch updated the timetable for the patch release as "not soon" because he wanted to do something else: add a fully functional Nether to multiplayer.
So we know that maps are coming, as is a working Nether, and there are a lot of bugs squashed to boot. What are you looking forward to most in the patch?
Hmm... Both those two things are just awesome! I would really love the Nether in SMP, but it's probably not gonna be fully functional as it's released for the first time for SMP.
About the map system: I love it! It makes MineCraft a lot more adventuring "based". The good thing is that you can choose wether to use it or not, but I'm definitely gonna use it.
.. I'm so excited!! :biggrin.gif: :biggrin.gif:
you win!
gonna try that map for sure ^^ (then compare it >.<)
He's also said in his twitter he's added in TRAP DOORS! The possibilities are endless! I look forward to seeing what all the Adventure map creators can do with this :3
I love Zan's Minimap, It lets me make way points, it doesn't require a new item every so often for new areas, and it shows me when there are chunk errors so I can disconnect quickly.

The next time an authority asks me, "What could possibly have given you such a lack of respect for the value of human life?" I will respond, "Sir, have you even BEEN to the internet?"

Mainly though, all the Bugfixes will be great!
A 32x32 texture pack that keeps faithful to the original textures, items, and gui.
Nether in multiplayer sounds neat too. The extra resources without resorting to op-commands and portal travel aspect should be nice.
