Currently, I hate a majority of the additions and here's my list of what and why:
1. Birch Forests, For what ever reason they feel all kinda of wrong something about them is ugly.
2. The new flowers make Vanilla Minecraft feel modded, they don't look natural to the game environment in the slightest. I've been strict to saying only Vanilla no Texture Packs but this is the last Straw I no longer like how vanilla minecraft looks and I'll have to make a Texture Pack that fixes it.
3. Snow starts too low on mountains but its probably because the size of mountains are just hills. Push the Snow start to 200 so when you find it its "Ooo majestic" not "Ooo I want to kill my self all I see is snow every second and I hate snow everyone hates snow in Minecraft"/
4. The textures for the new fish look like they were made by a 2 year old.
5. The new texture for the Sugar Cane is ugly. Just cut and dry... ugly.
6. The new texture for the red flower which is now a different flower is horrible.
7. The roofed forest is horrible all it is is a cluster of trees a giant mushrooms.
8. The swamp biome clashes with its water so bad that its uglier than it was before.
9. If you haven't changed mob spawns the world gen has made animals spawn so much more that its just bad, your making the game too easy Mojang please stop it. 1.0 made it way too easy in the first place don't do this to us again.
Your ruining the game Mojang please step off. You did good for awhile but your game is becoming horrible and you need to understand that the things your adding we don't want.
There's so much more I can say but I think the community can fill in the blanks.
Please up vote this or do what ever you think is right to get Mojang or anyone important enough to do something to see this so we can get something done. I don't want the community to have to mod minecraft just to fix things that mojang is adding.
I may be very critical of minecraft but its only because I want the best for it, I really liked how 1.3_01 felt and It hasn't felt the same since but I accept it. This is the first update that I am unable to adapt to without manually removing and changing features.
Only good thing I can say about 1.7 (The snapshot obviously):
1. I like the additions to the Sound settings.
2. I like the amplified setting but there's still the issue with the update that poisons it for me.
3. I like the sunflowers but I wish they had cookable sunflower seeds.
Note: I do expect this topic to get flamed. I also don't care if it does.

Who is we? Personally I love this update and this is the first negative post I have seen all day regarding the snapshot. So there is no we, there is only you.
I assume that you are trying to troll here... That being said, I really like the additions, and lest you forget this is the FIRST of MANY snapshots...
and also, you have the option to play old versions, so if you don't like an update, so be it, go play whatever you want.
If you have not noticed, yours is the only negative comment on here,
I love this update too. It feels a little less flat and a little more like Beta 1.7.3, but much more organized. Plus, this is only the first snapshot. I'm sure by the actual release of 1.7, things might be tweaked a bit.

I'm not trolling, also I can't just update mods will update. I hate vanilla minecraft and its just getting worse I play modded only honestly. Minecraft has gotten way too easy and is now going to get ugly and I really do hate the update. Also i'm the only negative comment? Maybe because pretty much the only people who post in recent updates or suggestions or general minecraft discussion are 5? Maybe because everyone has been desensitized by all of the bad content being released? Maybe because everyone is used to the bad content just like how the people who play COD are used to the bad content? "Oh it has a cult following saying its good it must be good?!"... I could go into history but this is a family friendly place.

We are the true fans. You are the cult following that mindlessly likes anything Jeb puts out just like how COD fans mindlessly buy COD when each one comes out.

I really hope your right because this feels so unfinished and so... just not finished idk it just doesn't feel right and I hope this isn't what its going to be when its done. Everything just feels wrong I really hope this isn't close to finished. I also know what you mean by a little less flat and more like 1.7.3 I do like some of the update just not all of it and the things I don't like in specific slightly ruin the game for me (Actually the snow completely ruins the game for me since its too low making it go everywhere).
I play vanilla minecraft only, no mods or texturepacks. there is no need to mod in my opinion, the game is fine the way it is intended.
But, if you have the mods for the version you are playing, just keep them, and use them. I don't see the problem here. you can use any version of minecraft, and any version of mod that you like. the possibilities are endless here. you have no room to troll. Every option exists for you, if you are too lazy to use said options, then I feel pitty for you.
I agree completely with OP, this time they took it too far. Horses I can see a purpose for, same with redstone blocks and comparators. This though, this is just unneeded content that makes me feel like my email just got spammed. The mod API is supposed to do this, not the vanilla game.
1. There's nothing wrong with Birch Forests, you're just coming up with a reason to hate this snapshot.
2. No they don't. To me this just seems like "TOO MUCH NEW, BAD."
3. This is a development build, I think they'll raise it soon.
4. No.
5. No. It looks much more lush, not dry. If anything looked dry it was the old texture.
6. No, it's much nicer and more shaded. "They Changed It Now It Sucks" applies here.
7. So don't build anything there!
8. Uh... how?
9. More animals is bad? Also "so much that it's bad" is not a good argument. Not even a little.
All of these updates are a direct response from suggestions by the community. People wanted more variety in biomes, mobs, and decor. I can't remember which thread it is, but there was a ginormous thread simply about world generation and how it was boring. This snapshot clearly addresses many (not all) of the points made.
They have made some strides toward the API (resource packs), but I assume that is still a working progress and will always come in chunks.
All in all, this is a fantastic snapshot and I hope a lot of it does get officially implemented.

The thread about world generation simply refered to more hills and interesting terrain within a biome. Not brand new biomes that look like trash
Have you looked around a little? Every biome has a lot more hills now.
That isn't what frustrates me. It's the new ones like Flower Forests, Hard Clay Plataeus, Covered Forests, and Sunflower Plains. I just don't see the need for them

I wrote 4 different responses to this and I discarded every single one because I don't want to continue this flame war that you are determined to start. Nevertheless, I detest the way you are bent on complaining and not willing to discuss.
The new terrain, is ages, I mean just AGES ahead of of the old terrain. They terrain is so much more varied, so much more random. I saw it descried on Reddit as "Pre 1.8 terrain on steroids" and I completely agree. I see NO reason to hate it at all except for the nostalgia glasses you are wearing? Te new flowers din't look "vanilla." Lol what????

Blah blah blah, moving on.
I agree the randomness is nice. But the new flowers don't fit the environment at all you really cant say that look good can you?!

I'm willing to discuss as long as it ends in "It will be tweaked" or "your right". I know that's a very one sided way of thinking but everything in this update is so wrong and so unneeded that I cant not look at it that way.

I enjoy'd the world this way. The majesty of the rolling hills the distant noise of a cow mooing on a sunrise with the untamed landscape that was very flat and square that made me feel like "Yeah, I could live here" then building in this open landscape and being truly happy. Now all I see is EWW whats that Ooh the added that what were they thinking... But now I figured out because of this that the community is wrong... not Mojang the community. Somewhere along the way we lost our roots, where minecraft came from and what made it good. This shows how far from original minecraft we've come and not only does it look like a bleak future it looks like something I don't want to be a apart of. I only hope that either Mojang or the modding community fixes this atrocity.
hahaha, great try at a troll but this update is just too good! Of course you can have complaints (I really, really miss the ocean) but things look *so* much better and there is *so* much new stuff and variety added that overall it's a tremendous improvement. Also, I haven't seen any bugs yet (I downloaded after the ninja fix to mesa plateau) and considering how much was added and the rumors of major rewrite that's a great accomplishment for Dinnerbone and Jeb!
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Geographicraft (formerly Climate Control) - Control climate, ocean, and land sizes; stop chunk walls; put modded biomes into Default worlds, and more!
RTG plus - All the beautiful terrain of RTG, plus varied and beautiful trees and forests.
That isn't what frustrates me. It's the new ones like Flower Forests, Hard Clay Plataeus, Covered Forests, and Sunflower Plains. I just don't see the need for them
I don't see a use for you, I guess you should be deleted, then?

This sums it up quite nicely, and your avatar is the little bow on top. Lol
I agree the randomness is nice. But the new flowers don't fit the environment at all you really cant say that look good can you?!
I can say they look good perfectly well. Also, they're not only great flowers, but realistic too. Are you going to go yell at a real life peony for looking out of place now?
1. Birch Forests, For what ever reason they feel all kinda of wrong something about them is ugly.
