Now that the TU9 update has been released, has anyone discovered any additional new changes to the game that were not addressed in the change log? 4J usually includes at least one and I haven't found anything yet to my knowledge.
I for one actually like the new gravel texture. I know I'm in the minority, but to me it looks more like gravel and matches the coloring of stone more (which actually makes more sense if you think about it). The old one was more purple than it should have been. Just my opinion.
The new texture doesn't look like someone barfed pixels and it's much easier on the eyes. It's also much easier to see from long distances.
I didn't have either of those problems with the old texture, and it quite suited the projects I've used it for. I find the new texture to be far too uniform and monochromatic; to me, it looks like smooth stone or clay with rocks stuck in it, or as one of my friends said, it looks vaguely like diamondplate. Regardless, with the level of disagreement there appears to be in opinions, I think that it's about time they implemented texture pack support so we can each have what we want.

I liked the slight multicolored look it had, made it stand out from cobblestone to me.
Of course I could be wrong, I have been practicing with a bow and arrow a lot lately so it may just be me trimming the fat quicker
Keep yourself up to date with the Minecraft Forum rules!
Also, they said they changed gravel's texture, but they didn't mention they made it look like crap.
I can't believe they changed the texture I thought the PCers hated it. You would think they learned from mojangs mistake... Guess not.
