One of the curiosities of Minecraft has always been compass directions. The in-game compass has not ever pointed north, but rather at the player's spawn point. Most people generally assumed that east and west was easily determined by the sun and moon rising and setting, but other things - like cloud movement - always added to the confusion. So, who has the answer?
The humble sunflower!
While many of the upcoming developments of 1.7 have been kept under wraps, Jeb revealed this delightful addition to the game, which is confirmed to always face east! Very nice!
Dinnerbone also gave us a brief look into an upcoming feature which will help with immersion - impact particles! Basically, if you fall more than a certain distance, then you will generate particles from the impact of whatever block you land on. Sweet!
Keep an ear to the ground, because there is a lot more coming up, and you don't want to miss it!
Sunflowers. I mean, without sunflowers, Minecraft just couldn't be considered a game. Finally! We have the mighty sunflower! This game changing mechanic will make my life so much easier! Think of all the possibilities!.... yup.

Dinnerbone has ruined this game, can I get a refund?
EDIT: And Jeb, but Dinnerbone was the one who had the horrible idea to add horses, right?
Stop hating on Jeb and Dinnerbone for adding sunflowers. You don't even have to use them. Nobody hated on Notch like this. I am certain if Notch was on minecraft, he would have added these things as well. As for the horses, they aren't that bad really. If you don't want any of that stuff in your game just switch back to an earlier update using the new launcher that Jeb made. You people have no excuse to hate now.

How exactly have they ruined the game? They've added some really brilliant features, horses are definitely one of the best things they've added (although, honestly I would have preferred to expand on pig riding).

Horses have changed the single and multi-player experience forever by adding a new mode of transportation. Do you really want to keep riding saddled pigs for the rest of your life? Horses are much better. Stop hating on Jeb and Dinnerbone

As for the sunflower, F3 shows your direction anyway, so whats the point? Surly its only purpose won't be to show direction, so Dinnerbone must have a surprise in store. Did anyone notice that it is planted at the intersection of 4 blocks? Strange...
I hope they flesh out oceans more, be nice for underwater vegitation and fish mobs. Could harvest those for making your own goldfish ponds and aquariums.

You are aware you can play any version of Minecraft since alpha right? If you don't like the new update you are still totally free to play the versions you did like. If none of the dozens of versions avaliable suit you why are you even here, if not just to troll?

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best."

That would be pretty cool, I'd love to have an aquarium in my house with a baby squid :3

According to Twitter they're working on it, but the new biomes aren't nearly ready to release in a snapshot.
It'd be nice for them to add some features surrounding it, like seeds as a food but for now they're very nice aesthetics

According to this there will be more flowers, like Tulips.
Ever get tired of squids? Support dolphins in Minecraft!
