Minecraft 1.6 Changelog
The way being full of food heals you has changed slightly, so now you will need a little bit more food.
Treasure chests can now be found in Nether Fortresses.
The longer you stay in one area, the tougher the local mobs will get. (They get more armour and weapons, with better enchantments).
The Bad News
The recipes for Glistering Melon and Golden Apples now use more gold.
Bad news for Nether Fortresses
Due to a change in the way fortresses are generated, Wither Skeletons and Blazes will no longer spawn in your existing Nether Fortresses. If you want to hunt them, you'll have to explore new parts of the Nether (or start a new world).
