DO NOT UPDATE TO 1.3!

Unless you have a backup or you can revert back to 1.2.5. You won't be able to enter the server if you have updated.

Bukkit (the server software) isn't updated when the new Minecraft comes out.

Red dragons are still on the planned features, as well as horses. Apparently in future updates we can expect new forms of wildlife too. This isn't confirmed (Horses were by jeb, red dragons by notch, but notch handed the project to jeb) Other recent additions to the dev team wanted more wildlife however.

Was it really necessary to quote his entire bloody post? Save the virtual rain forests and don't do it again!

Horses?!?!? *Major fist-pumping* I've always wanted horses in HW :')

Edit: Just realised SW might become a whole load more dangerous...

Horses... Best idea ever. 'Twould be nearly impossible to ride them through the SW, though... That's not neccessarily a bad thing.

When 1.3 comes out, I'm going to write a fake diary of a fake prisoner and 'accidentaly' leave it in a random cell in my dungeon.
