Mojang has provided me with one of favorite games of all time, for only 25 bucks. They made the game completely modable, and are working on official mod support in addition providing constant, free updates.
Yeah, Mojang has never pissed me off, but entitled asshats that post stupid crap in these forums sure as hell do.
I thought the destruction catalyst was way OP. If there was an item that could do the same thing, but without the mining aspect (Just blowing square holes in the ground) that would be nice.
They don't need a drop. They are for aesthetics. If Mojang later on decides to give them a drop, I won't complain. This should be a non-issue, as either way, it isn't a big dea.
So...basically this is going to consist of removing everything that made EE2 fun and replacing it with an ized version of Thaumcraft? (I say this because of the EMC wire comment..I'm envisioning lots of Thaumcraft-esque devices).
I mean really, removing the energy condenser (aka the best thing to happen to minecraft ever)? Do you just hate fun? I noticed in the OP you mentioned people complaining about items being overpowered should just go somewhere else, so why does it seem like you're bowing to the desires of the idiots who demand everything to be perfectly balanced?
At least meet us halfway here man. I humbly suggest a compromise: keep collectors/condensers in the mod, BUT have them be extremely late-game items (I'm talking the equivalent of gem armor in EE2 level late-game). That way we can still have our awesome items and have a very alluring goal to work towards to boot!
Better World Generation mod has the best terrain generation. And I am speaking of the default and large biomes types only. If you start creating "different" worlds, like the cave world, or the skyland... your mind could explode.
It is easy to complain, but I don't see the point in complining when the solution is 5 clicks away from you.
You sir, are the first reasonable person I have seen that does not like the current terrain gen. You win a cookie. A metaphysical cookie, but thats all I got.
The API isn't tied to an update, it will come out when it comes out. Jeb and Dinnerbone are not the ones working on the API, they are the ones that are doing the updates.
As for the OP's suggestions: Stone chests are a reasonable addition, more asthetics never hurt anything. As for Emeralds being anything but money? No. Just no. They are cash. You aren't supposed to get them from mining, that is supposed to be treated as a bonus. You get them from trading.
Unless vanilla adds way more items all at once, we don't need a need a new tier of tools. The end is a boss dimension. In vanilla it will only ever be for killing the dragon, and maybe making a home with the endermen.
Considering that Notch wants to expand Mojang, and make more than just one game, this is a good move. Notch is great, Jeb is great. Notch has a million things on his plate, Jeb for the most part only has to focus on Minecraft. This is a great move. I am very excited for all the new things that Minecraft will have.

Balance is good. Your comments are not.

He still owns the game. He controls Mojang. When the game no longer makes money, he will turn it into freeware.

Every item related to XP is optional, don't build them.
There is a mod that disables hunger.
Don't like mods? Too bad. If you don't want hunger, then you need to realise you are in the minority. Be greatful you can customize your game.
