Finally! I've been waiting for more biomes and visual stuff. It looks like 1.7 is going to be great! (Ironically enough, Beta 1.7 was my last Favorite update). And for everyone that is complaining about Sunflowers and how you can just press F3, It's called Debug Mode for a reason, not 'This is a game mechanic' mode.
I'm actually loving how we're getting sunflowers and what looks to be lavender/cotton/iris...whatever that second light-purplish plant is. I'm also surprised that this wasn't posted up in the news update - http://instagram.com/p/dCXkdOpMCi/
I shall be making use of the sunflowers and whatever those purple plants be in my new park. Little adds a lot when you care.
Also those people saying Minecraft can't freely update itself with new blocks can go to hell, or the nether. If you don't like it then go back to your preferred version in the launcher and let those actually having fun have fun. Go home trolls, you're full of crap. This isn't a popularity contest nor do you have to impress others for trolling. Just enjoy Minecraft and the new updated content, or don't.
Minecraft's strong point is that it constantly stays fresh with new contently being added in both vanilla and modded.
Really, I hope Jeb/Dinner reads this.
They have planned SO MANY cool features, like Red Dragon, Pandas, but when will we get them? We willn't.
Their only focusing on some FLOWERS, instead of FINALLY making the MOBS. Minecraft is SO empty, NO nature animals, except bats. With nature I mean ambience and all that. Their just planning to add sunflowers. Nice thing, ok.... BUT THEY FACE EAST! The point? There isn't. Just click F3, Ta-da, it'll show wheres east, north and all that. Seriously, do we need this? No. Do we need falling particles? NO. Do we need more blocks and tons of mobs? YES Minecraft is SO BORIN that I don't even play it now. And their doing the work SO SLOW! Animations, all just so bad. Minecraft modders, make GIANT THINGS in 48 hours, what do Jeb and Mojang do in 2 months?
Add sunflowers. Really?
Or the 1.6.2 update.
Few things, such as horses. So Mojang means that EVERY mob their going to add, will have it's own update! If their going to add a WORM mob, a tiny pixel, and coded in 2 minutes or 1, or even 30 seconds, they do a whole update for it.
Dear Jeb/Mojang, please, read this post, and start TRYING to make the game, instead of just playing it. I have seen their office videos, what does Jeb do? He isn't even on his table/computer. HE'S PLAYING PINBALL! START MAKING THE GAME, SO PEOPLE WOULD LIKE IT, INSTEAD OF DESTROYING THE GAME EVERY DAY!
Oh, and PS... NOT a surprise, that Minecraft sale has slowed down. People wont buy it anymore, because it's ruined. When Minecraft first appeared, it got like 10 million sales, in a short time. Now, about a year have been, and we have now 11,5 million sales. Why? You know why. Or X360 version. Why it got 4 million sales in a month, and then it stopped? Because that they noticed 4J is WAY too lazy to update it, and published it as a BETA, instead of the FULL version, and 1 update takes about 4 months.
Seriously, Mojang, 4J, man up and start the work. Or I'm quitting Minecraft...
Why they are mad?
Because their adding SUNFLOWERS???? Instead of those majestic dragons and flying creatures flying around. People want Minecraft to be mystic, and cool, what we got?
Boring, ugly game.
Of course, new content, always welcome! I like the sunflower.
The problem is, that they add new features, and forget the old W.I.P ideas, and never do them again.
Chairs, welcome!
Will they add them?
NO, because "It's way too hard. We have to code the sitting thing and all that".
Takes 5 minutes, still we wont get them.
People are angry because they want COOOL features, instead of boring sunflowers.
I like the idea myself, but I also want something cooler than that in the game.
But nah, we will never get them.
Ett Katt.
Seriously, I'm trying to find a new game to play.
Edit your first post, don't double post, and chill it with the caps and the rude tone xD. Anyways, have YOU ever modded? Have YOU ever coded a game? How can you say how long it takes for something so complex can be done when you've never done it yourself? They're working what's looking like it might be the largest update since the Adventure Update, and some of you people actually have the nerve to say this sorta thing, to such small, early tidbits of info about something much bigger? And those 'big features' like dragons and panda's were never, ever confirmed, so don't spread rumors. On another note, another new flower and a new animation http://instagram.com/p/dE8ljlJMLb/

I was only trying to state my opinion, sheesh. Dragons would be really cool, much cooler than flowers, but as the guy above me said, they weren't confirmed.
They are not interesting.
Their improving mapmaking, but not survival! Weird!
Have you ever played a Hypixel map? Think of the awesome possibilities for new maps he could make using those features. They're adding plenty of new features to survival, 99% of them are still behind curtains, and you're critisizing the small, aesthetic tidbits that we're getting now. I bet by the time this update is released, you and most of the community will be loving it. And then I can say 'I told you so'
They are not interesting.
Their improving mapmaking, but not survival! Weird!
1 guy made a giant mod in 48 hours. Yes, it added tons of content.
What these do in 2 months?
Nothing useful.
Dragons and pandas ARE confirmed future updates, but we will not get them
BIGGEST UPDATE AFTER ADVENTURE UPDATE?
Yeah, new particles and sunflowers!
Let's applause!
You obviously haven't been keeping up to date, or you'd have seen all the new biomes, and the confirmation that we'll have several new mobs. This is what everyone thought 1.6 was going to be like. Also, could you please link proof that dragons and panda's were confirmed, because I can link proof they haven't been :D. Also, what is this mod, and do you have proof for how long it took? I'd love to know And just because they haven't given us any news for two months, you assume they haven't been working? Thats funny xD

You need to listen to their twitter more (and I hate that this topic only mentions these two simple additions). Aside from the fact that they're adding sunflowers and falling particles, they're essentially adding a plethora of new biomes and overhauling the terrain generator; something which has been anticipated by a large portion (especially the pre b1.8 kiddies) of the community for many updates; and you think dragons and features that you anticipate are more important, even when you consider that those features may require other additions first for them to even work as they should (for instance, without some sort of a bamboo forest biome, what's the point of adding pandas? Or without an overhaul to the lighting system, what would be the point of tinted glass? And dragons have a whole plethora of problems associated with them; I really just wish Notch just forgot about the End and the Ender Dragon and stuck with the Sky dimension).
..?
Would you like instead, 100 new mobs, chairs, and pandas, dragons and all that?
I would like them more than a sunflower.,
100 new mobs? Seriously? You know how much it would take to balance them all out? Most of us here don't think the game should be clouded with a whole bunch of new mobs that are useless aside from scenery and possibly providing meat.
They are confirmed in future updates. Just check the Minecraft Wiki, and you'll see that they are confirmed in a future update.
They aren't confirmed. They're a popular idea. Notch was throwing ideas around one day and people added that stuff to the wiki to always be a possible addition and to gives others ideas.
I dont give a Minecraft about MAPS. Minecraft is SURVIVAL SANDBOX, maps are just community things, not an actual part of Minecraft. I will not love it, they said "only map making features and biome changing!"
I love how you only respond to one sentence, knowing that I'm right in every single point Also, pretty sure that if something is coded or built inside minecraft its part of it

Oh, and here's my proof:
The Red Dragon is a new mob that is planned to be included sometime in the future.[citation needed] But still, Notch has not hinted an arrival date and Jeb, who is currently in charge of Minecraft development, has not shown much of an interest in adding them.[citation needed]
Pandas. I already tried playing with them, but I still need to get used to skinning and animating things
Do either of those lines state '*mob* will be added in a future update'?
Of course, new content, always welcome! I like the sunflower.

Seriously, I'm trying to find a new game to play.
Suggest it on Reddit or find a way to up-vote nice ideas so Dinnerbone and Jeb can add them. If it gets upvoted enough they'll look at it and do keep in mind you have people who want Minecraft to stay the old way without improving so you'll have to fight that as well.
Honestly, to anyone who doesn't realize, the reason they don't add 50 new mobs, 100 new items and a bunch of different mechanics is because the game probably couldn't handle it. People with lower end hardware would not be able to play the game. Many people can't do Tekkit or FTB because of the outrageous amount of new mechanics and items.
They need to take small steps to make sure stuff works.
Well... and they've been busy lately. Holidays and events.
Awesome! Loving these little updates that'll join the biomes and such. Time to make use of my green thumb and make a nice looking park heh. I still want to know what's the tall purplish-white plant that looks like cotton, or is cotton. Quite neat. Always did find flowers on the limited side so glad they're being enlarged in variety.
WE WANT HORSES
After Horses:
OMG THIS GAME IS RUINED. NOW EVERY NEW UPDATE IS BAD
All you complainers can just play the game in previous versions. Shut up and give the true Minecraft fans some peace from your shrill whining.
Thanks! I was wondering if pics had already been released.
I shall be making use of the sunflowers and whatever those purple plants be in my new park. Little adds a lot when you care.
Also those people saying Minecraft can't freely update itself with new blocks can go to hell, or the nether.

Yes he is.
That kind of work would take Minecraft to 2.7

Woops sorry, I suppose your right. I guess I was just hoping there was something more to the sunflower than just showing direction, you know?
