The bricks are probably to denote a large dungeon?
Anything randomly generated is going to provide hours and hours of fun... even as it stands, there are limitless possibilities for landscapes you could explore.

And if the world that we are forced to see is false and nothing is true, then make this dream real.
Wow, this thread has really spiraled, hasn't it? :smile.gif:
Anyway, I really hope they make the Villages VERY rare. Occasionally having to choose whether to destroy or ignore(or help?) would add a lot of depth to the game. Not to mention the satisfaction of wiping out a village. If villages are common (more than 1 per square km, perhaps), they would become this tedious thing that you constantly have to eradicate.
Really, if implemented well, all these changes will go a long way toward making Minecraft the kind of game that lasts a decade or more. Like Starcraft (though, possibly not quite that popular). Not that I ever was a Notch basher (I'm no programmer), but this will probably restore that feeling I had when I first found this game (alpha, woot woot). It was that game I've been looking for my whole life. Elder scrolls, Fallout, Fable, GTA and more all tried to scratch that itch of "Do whatever the **** you want," but none of them managed to do it quite the way Minecraft does. And all with the graphics of 1999, at least, at first glance.
This morning, Notch and Jeb released some in-game screenshots, showing what appear to be fortress ruins, and a small village:
Already, we can see some potential changes in blocks and textures - for example, what appears to be stone brick, and mossy stone brick in the ruins image. What appear to be a giant red and brown mushroom can also be seen in the village screenshot, in the middle-left.
We will keep you updated as more information is released!
I do wonder if anything lives in the houses. If anything does they will know how to operate doors, meaning if a village spawns near a building you made, they may or may not be able to get in. That's a bit unnerving, to think that something can come in and out of your house if it so wished, maybe allowing creepers in. And if those mobs do exist, would they have chests with objects that they too can use in them?

This signature is under construction. Expected completion time: December 22nd, 2012, when the world hasn't ended(So it can mock those who thought the world was going to end).

It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. :smile.gif:
There's no "U" in "AWESOME", but there is a "ME"@Ebob101

NOOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT REAL LIFE! No but really, I'm resisting to make a Mushroom Kingdom joke. :dry.gif:

also, I think the red thing is a new kind of tree, not a Giant Mushy

tl;dr: New update. Right. The ****. On.
I do wonder if anything lives in the houses. If anything does they will know how to operate doors, meaning if a village spawns near a building you made, they may or may not be able to get in.
