For everyone complaining about no change logs....

It was FUN before when there would be secret updates. Everyone would play and try to figure out what was changed. Do you guys remember the SECRET FRIDAY UPDATES? Those were all really fun. That was before we had an entire community that can just look in the .jar to see what has been changed.

But, for you who don't see the fun in this, there is a thing called the wiki that tells you what is in the snapshots.

It's fun when they do that in updates, but it just gets annoying when they do that with snapshots.
Snapshots are made so the community can try them out and report bugs, but how is anyone supposed to report a bug when the features are not told? It could be a bug or an update.

Are you serious right now? This stuff with the ''no changelog - we're too lazy to put one - find out for yourself'' is REALLY annoying.

Related to the snapshot, I think I see a dragon egg? Or somthing that looks like it.
I'll hopefully be able to test the snapshot out tommorow, kinda curious.

It could get boring, but I guess it depends what you're doing.. New biomes couldn't do anything but help the situation though, more things to do, more things to explore, MORE FUN

More things to explore for the first 2 or 3 times. Then it's gonna be all the same if there's no variation in them. And from these screenshots I'm pretty sure we can expect every of them to be the same just like the ones right now are.

I'm listening to Requiem for a Dream while reading the latest posts. I think the fate of the world now depends on us getting the terrain fixed.

EDIT: CELLO

EDIT: MOAR TNT!!!!

*Le off topic*
IKR It's epic

Mojang. You made the height limit 256 blocks. Land starts at 62. You have 194 blocks left. Mountains are high about 40-60 blocks max. Got 134 blocks left.
I mean C'MON! I think mountains should be WAAAAAAAAAY higher! They didn't make the new height limit just for adventure maps! Implement higher mountains, or even some floating islands! (the cool ones, not the sand and the gravel ones)

First time that's been said in years.

Really excited about info on the 1.7 update!

Hold back though. Since all that could be added is just generic stuff.

Also am I the only one who hates watching some YouTube people because they go on about how far the generator has come yet they don't really know what there talking about.

The only thing the current generator seems to be good for is added biomes. Everything about the new generator is based around biomes and nothing more.

The current gravel texture hardly looks like gravel in real life at all.

To Exalm: That wont fix the gravels ugliness I don't want to stumble across a random gravel beach as it looks ugly
The Hills and mountains still do exist they just became a bit rarer (and smaller)
To Dullstar: Extreme hills are spaces out and have foliage and overhangs didn't and wouldn't look natural in a forest/snow/jungle etc. biome

I lost 50% of my IQ while reading your comments.
1.You are not the only one who plays Minecraft other people might like gravel beaches. The fact that they are rare means that you won't see them very often. It would be good to have them because some people might like them more than normal beaches so there will be something for everyone and there will be a little bit more variety,
2. (The Hills and mountains still do exist they just became a bit rarer (and smaller)) We know we wan't hills and mountains in every biome like the forrest we know hills exist they are all the same hight most of the time and they have 1 tree per chunk that means that they will awlays look the same.

For some reason it doesn't let me upload the images but I managed to put the links.

This video by Notch showcases how much more interesting the surface was after the Alpha terrain update up until the Beta 1.8 update:

I didn't get to play the game before the update when the worlds were actually 'better and fun' and had height variation, but this makes me cry! I just got Minecraft this year, about 2 months ago actually and I am starting to get bored of it already. I love the game and I'm addicted but it gets real boring starting a new world, hoping to get some change from the others but they all end up looking the same pretty much. The world in this video is so beautiful, and you CANNOT find anything like it in any new worlds now. Seeds are pretty much pointless now, i totally agree and I want the worlds to look like the one in the video, except each new world would be different and not just copies! The update they did ruined the adventure aspect of the game, there is no variation in the terrain, only big mountains are in the extreme mountain/hill biome and caves never seem end.

I can get about two 40-64 things of iron in one ravine or cave and then go a little further and yet find even more stuff. Its all too easy and there is no real adventure. The worlds are just ugly IMO, i find random exposed stone areas, sandy cliffs near the ocean but need to be beaches, small excuse of a hill/mountain in some biomes and more. I want the old generator back, of course it doesn't have to all come back but the way it made the worlds look. I don't want to bring everything back from the old generator or throw out the new things with generator now. I love the biomes honestly but they all are flat IMO and just look like the other biomes but in a different world. The worlds looked actually fun and like you had to actually work for things and have ups and downs and not just mostly flat terrain. The worlds looked so pretty to be in, i want to climb up a mountain in the forest type biome and find a little cliff over looking the plains with flowers and grass and hills and a little waterfall leading into a pond and it all just molds perfectly. Not find one ugly mountain in the extreme mountain/hill biome that looks into the swamp with nothing in it or any terrain variation but maybe one block or two above the ground level.

(What I say is completely true of how i feel about this and what i want like many others do. The worlds to actually look fun to be in and have real adventure and not just the same old same old worlds that are just ugly copies of each other... *sigh* So yes the terrain has become boring.)

Here's the Reddit link:

http://www.reddit.co...d_and_revealed/

The Reddit community seems very discombobulated. I saw a comment discussing on how EH mountains could be made higher. The main comment discusses the importance of a terrain update but only elaborates on potential new features, and not restoring variation that was present in pre-1.8.

Reddit makes me mad.

First things first, I want to applaud your efforts on the Aether 1 and 2. You put a lot of good work into it. However in the case of the Aether 2, some people (including myself) feel it's a bit crowded. While it's still a good mod, it might be nice to have both the Aether 1 and 2 up and running. Would you allow me to update the original Aether (all credit goes to you)?

Thanks anyways,

I support this thread to the end.

Current Minecraft terrain generator makes minecraft is really unenjoyable and boring. Endless caves and mineshafts are really spammed all around the world, getting stacks of iron is as easy as digging out dirt. World height is now 256 but there is no decent altitude difference around the world.

And I have another problem with the current terrain gen/world gen, maybe it's irrelevant, but whatever. Everything is everywhere. There is so much of every resource, making Minecraft much easier than it's supposed to be. You can find anything you need in a small area. It really makes exploring pointless.

Seriously, Mojang.
