Minecraft is slowly proving itself to be one of the most popular games ever. Developer Jeb Bergensten has announced over Twitter that sales of the game have crossed the 10 million mark for the PC version. He has also given a hint at one of the additions to the game in an upcoming update numbered at 1.6.“Minecraft (PC) has hit 10M! As promised, a subtle hint on the main 1.6 feature (thanks @ebbakier): http://imgur.com/qAuCLex  :D”, said Bergensten’s tweet. The link is a picture of a woman with a horse. This strongly hints towards the addition of horses in Minecraft. This could also lead to players being able to ride horses in the game, thus making exploration faster.The previous patch, dubbed the Redstone Update, fixed a number of bugs. It also improved how minecarts work and made redstone circuitry more consistent. The patch added a new capacitor block that can help make more complex circuitry with Redstone.
