ive seen alot of complaint threads recently about people complaining about various things. this the the anti-pole of those threads. from what im seeing ever sense jeb took lead development i think things are looking for the better because he is working on some good improvements to the game. im not talking about massively great things but the good improvements he has made to the game. the most recent big thing (or at least to some of the forum members) is that hes changing the generation to our liking which means hes most likely listening to the community which is a great thing. not to mention all the other upcoming features hes adding.
no void fog in creative
walking on farmland of crops no longer ruins it only jumping on it will
apples dropping from tress
taiga biome coming back
LOTS of bug fixes
sheep regrowing their wool after eating grass
mod API (BIG one)
mob eggs in creative
Multiple language support (not FULLY finished but being worked on)
multiplayer spam protection
new lines to splash texts (not to important but still good)
and i may have missed a couple features but whatever XD
bit i made this thread to talk about the improvements that are being made. i think these improvements are good regardless on whether or not the improvement made is major or not. so what do you think of these changes and improvements to the game mechanics are?
Jeb is doing fantastic, enough said. We were getting too used to major updates(the end) and also too used to pointing out flaws. I think we forget that it's a miracle that they still work on it on top of listening to the community.

agreed,i remember when people were satisfied with the small little updates like adding pistons.
OT: pistons were a huge update even though I wasn't around for it. As I'm on the forum right now I'm making a piston contraption.
Also, I think the developer shouldn't care too much about what the community says. The community comes up with terrible ideas all the time or like to imbalance the game. The developer needs their own view but needs to still take in good suggestions.

Yeah, most of the changes were good, but some were bad : no snow, forest or sand mountains, no sand beaches, annoying Endermen block carrying that destroy the landscape, bad transitions between biomes (not only swamps) and the game is now VERY easy, even at hard. If these few things could be changed, the game would be almost perfect. Jeb said there will be mountains outside the mountain biomes in the next version and with the mod API, it will become easier to remove the Endermen block carrying. I think it's going to be like that ! If there is improvements, it's because there is people saying what is bad in the game, so these topics are also important.

HOLY CRAP: JEB + JESUS = JEBUS
MIND = BLOWN
But yes, the community comes up with stupid crap half the time (breeding blocks, SPELLS OMG)
But there are good ideas once in a blue moon, and those ideas are what makes going on this forum worth it.
Too much bickering on the forums about how the new features "DESTROYED MINECRAFT FOREVER".
Most of them just do it as a plea to get what they want, they make the game seem like it's in the worst spot ever so that their opinion is taken more seriously, its pathetic.
Yes, I agree. Minecraft is awesome and is getting better. I was quite optimistic about Jeb developing minecraft, and I think that optimism was right.
You should add a poll to this thread, 'Do you think minecraft is improving? yes/no'
If 'yes' gets the most votes, then people always agree with the OP and polls are untrustworthy. If 'no' get the most votes, then most people don't think Minecraft is getting better.
I love the fact that when Jeb is listening to the community, he sees what everyone's complaining about, sees for himself that it needs to be fixed/tweeked and fixes it, like the world gen in the next snapshot for instance. If only Notch had been paying attention to the community. Not that I'm hating Notch, I don't. Jeb is just paying better attention to what the majority of the community wants. :smile.gif:
Jeb is making all of the complaint threads pointless one at a time.
He re-added beaches
He added smoother biome transitions
He fixed the swamps
He fixed terain gen
He fixed the ladders
At this rate no one will have anything to complain about and people will actually enjoy minecraft for once.
JEB = MINEJESUS
no there will always people who complain to complain ie. "i hate these stupid beaches everywhere!!111!!1one!!!" so it will never go away entirely XD but if his winning roll continues a complaint thread will be once on a blue moon.

Because he's NOT
glad to see someone read it XD because i can see people not reading it and going directly to the "complaining about complainers" thing

Just sayin'
...Or else.

Edit: Is there going to be anyone else added to their team or is it just going to be Jeb and Jon?

Is it turning for the better after 1.9 or after Jeb came in?
Probably after Jeb came in, as that seems more what this thread is about.

Only one worth mentioning (in my, humble, opinion).
He re-added beaches
He added smoother biome transitions
He fixed the swamps
He fixed terain gen
He fixed the ladders
