Jeez. The emerald blocks are impossible to find, and as you all know, the villagers sells you items for emeralds.
BUT why the heck would you want to buy for example Shears for 3 god damn emeralds?
It's ridiculous. The Emeralds are even more rare than diamonds -.-
(Personally, I dont like the texture of the emerald ore.. )
The gravel doesnt fit to the other textures in my opinion. The old gravel texture was 10 times better.
I don't know, I think the currency should be gold nuggets or something. Which would give more use for gold, right? It'd be more fair to give 16 gold nuggets for a shear, because 1 gold ore = 8 gold nuggets.

Lol, I dont know.. I don't like this snapshot.
If villager trading works like it looks like it will work, then all you'll need is a mob grinder and you'll be swimming in emeralds.
Is the emerald ore really as rare as diamonds? It shouldn't be too hard to find then. I see it more as a bonus to mining, which is what the game's about right? I mean yeah, you can do a mob farm or sell hordes of other various items but I've been waiting forever for the villagers to have a use/for them to add another precious gem/for another ore to be added.
Are you out of your ****ing mind?! He adds a new ore, which people beg for incessantly. He adds booby-trapped crypts, which are mind-blowing. He adds Ender Chests, which are incredible. He adds more variety to villiage spawning and aesthetics. He slaps in a few other things like sandstone stairs. And you're COMPLAINING?!?!
This makes most LEGIT UPDATES look like crap. This update is PHENOMINAL!!!
I don't think the OP understands how it works.
You're supposed to trade with the villagers for emeralds.
Then you're supposed to give them emeralds for items you need.

Does Chinese Gunpowder and 9th Century seems ancient enough for you ? They did it even without creepers to extract from.
I didn't say Enderchest where useless, I just find it to big a stretch from the general game, and more sadly, too little a use. What about ineraction with other blocks ? With redstone ? Trading IS unbalance, emeralds seems hard to find, hard to earn, and what you get in return is mostly a lot easier to craft.
Finally, I know what snapshots are, but like I said, quality is way better than quantity : why not put one or two addition for later just to test basical uses, appearances, etc.
People begging for new things don't means it won't be dumb, are you serious ? Gold is almost useless except for two or three things, would have been a perfect trade money. The trapped crypts, sorry but for what I heard, for what I've seen, they're always the same, I don't see any mind being blown here, have you heard of a little mod called Better Dungeons that adds tons of dungeons in various biome with new mobs and all sorts of goodies ? More variety... I'm sorry but get back on the floor, it's just a variation on the theme, nothing big. What amazes me is how people are close to freaking out on addition that a tons of mods have done, in better, bigger and more ways. You want more villages ? Try Millenaire. Aesthetic blocks ? Tons of mods have done it. Handy game-breaking blocks ? Try Buildcraft or other derivation.
What I'd like to see Mojang to do now, is adding some coherence, some finishing touches on existing features like Villagers (but something more than a trading system), potions, enchanting, etc. since they rushed them for the Adventure Update. And bringing back the Aether as it looked in the first screens. And implementing the zipline mod. Please.
You obviously don't see the point of a snapshot. It isn't intended to be of high quality in the slightest, it is intended to get the features out there and at the very least runnable so that the community can either use it early, or hunt for bugs.
Comparing features to mods is a waste of breath. For DROVES of people, mods aren't an option or preference.
For people who dont like mods, these updates are amazing.
For people who prefer mods, just ignore the update and play with your mods.
And here's the secret: No matter what jeb adds, it will always fit into minecraft better than mods. BECAUSE JEB IS MINECRAFT. He is the brain behind this operation. Vanilla minecraft trumps mods every single time. When jeb mimics mods, it is by his discretion. When he doesn't, it means they don't fit into minecraft as well as, hey, jeb's additions.
I'm talking about mods because some people are making legit amazing additions to the game, a lot, a handful of them are big, coherent, quite pretty, well thought and enjoyable, I've talked about only a few of them but for me they're the real reason why minecraft is worth the space on my disk.
If this is truly the case then why are you even here? Mods are released constantly, far more often than snapshots. Why did you even bother taking a break from the ocean of mods to even glance at real features? How did those features' apparent inability to deliver irk you enough to even warrant a post? You've got HUNDREDS of mods to fall back on! And clearly you have every intention of falling.
For me, this snapshot has made single player a LOT worse since the last one. The mobs have become much more glitchy than before. They were inside blocks and walking diagonally which, as far as I know, hasn't happened in the previous snapshots since the SSP SMP merge.
Yes, Emerald ORE is 25 rarer than diamond. However, there's probably a Testificate somewhere who would give you emerald in exchange for dirt. The ORE itself seems more of a random bonus than to be the main source of emerald.
The old gravel texture was ugly, but the new one, while somewhat better looking (in the sense that it is an actual texture, not noise), look way too much like cobblestone. Giving it a purpleish tint could solve that.
That being said ; trading + pyramid + enderchest + new use for dispensers + village variation + a new ore with an actual use = A really impressive snapshot.

Just wondering, do you know where to find a picture of these crypts, or a video, or even a seed? I really want to see one
Opinions are like shits, everybody has one, and you've stated zero reasons in the OP to back your points up besides emerald rarity, which could easily be adjusted considering the snapshot is for feedback reasons.
Also, "IMO" removes any credibility in your posts, I'd refrain from using it if you want people to give 2 shits about the topic.
And just to make it clear, this gravel texture is actually pleasing to the eye, rather than the old, un-thought-out, colored white noise texture for gravel that made it unusable for many people I know. I don't see how it doesn't fit at all, you seem to be pulling this all out of your ass.

It's because they're like spoiled children at Christmas. Unless they get exactly what they want, and unless they get it presented to them exactly like they want at that very moment, they're going to cry and whine like the spoiled child they are. It's what happens when you go from having full-fledged updates that consist of bug fixes and one new block being a huge deal, to having crazy updates with 2-4 new blocks, 1-3 new features, terrain generation updates, bug fixes, and a new ore.
Once you start getting updates that come even close to that, like the last 3-5 snapshots, people keep demanding more and more, and become pickier and pickier until they're just little greed driven ****s.

I concur. Just Amazing.
Marv
It should have been a new block. Like "cement" or something.
Don't give me cement is too high tech, they had it since ancient times
They also had TNT in ancient times. LOL

Is he using the same update as the server?

No more jobs plugins.

most of this things are merely optional to the current gameplay, so if you don't like them... you know what to do.
It's my primary healing material, don't steal its use from me... !
Also powered rails.
