Mojang has released patch 1.2 for Minecraft and amongst other things, it introduces cats (aawww), tame wolves that can have puppies (D’AAAAWWWWW), and villagers that can have children (KILL THEM ALL!).
If you already own the game then you can update it automatically in the Minecraft launcher.
The patch adds the following new features:
- New jungle biome
