Alright, I have been playing on the launcher and here are some CONFIRMED new items. Horse Saddle. Horse, Different Breeds. Carpets finally Hay bales. Iron, Gold, Diamond Horse Armor. Leash Horses can be rode on, they have an animation where they stand on 2 feet and kick in the air. Carpets are made of wool by appearance, they take up a 1 block space and when you step on them, it does not elevate you higher. Hay Bales can be placed like logs. I will look for more stuff.
*Horses grow to a size when fed wheat. *Horses drop leather when killed. Or saddle/armor if they were wearing it before death.
Crafting recipe for some of the new items: Carpets: Like a pressure plate but made of any color of wool Horse saddles: 5 pieces of leather and 3 pieces of iron Horse armor: 6 pieces of iron/gold/diamond and 1 piece of wool
Carpets. Yeah... Most useless thing ever. Unless you use them as tablecloth or blankets. But carpets? They're on the ground. We put wool blocks as ground and DADAAA, carpet!!!1! Oh but now it looks like carpet because it's two inches tall. Darn yes, fancy... Someone pls convince me of how cool carpet is. I guess I'll focus on horses and leashes, hope I can walk my kitteh around xD
I'm actually going to find carpets pretty useful. They don't take up a whole block, which is useful when in a building, when in one floor, the roof is the same as the next floor's floor. And if each floor is 3 blocks high, you'd have to have a hideous 2 block height so that the floor is different from the other floor's roof.
That's a very good point I was missing, I've actually had that problem before and was really pissed off because addding a carpet on a second floor meant ruining the ceiling for the room below. So thanks!
