Minecraft 1.2.6

[me_nakamura]

So, I heard that Minecraft 1.2.6 was coming out, REAL SOON, and that there were some pretty freaking awesome things. Well the most interesting thing that I heard was that they have a new ore called "Emerald" and it is 20 times RARER than DIAMONDS! Now, I've also heard that you can trade items with villagers now, and it is very easy to get rare items with it. That is pretty awesome. But, if anyone knows more about this, they can post here to tell everyone the extra things, and if any of the things that I was told was wrong.

That's dumb. Diamonds should be made rarer, and emeralds made more common.

Ya its called 1.3 and its gonna have a lot more than villager trading and emeralds. There is no release date yet though, but it should be somewhat soon(I base that entirely off of the fact that there is a lot of stuff in this update so far and they haven't done one recently).
There is already a thread about it.

I can't wait for "1.3" then! It's gonna be so awesome!

and it is very easy to get rare items with it.

Wouldn't that cancel out the fact that they're rare to begin with....?
