Next minute: Hole in bedrock.
;D

HUGE SUCCESS.

Ohey.

So, I am seeing a crapload of dimension threads here and in suggestions-Aether, Improved Nether, Atlantis Dimension, improved End, new Beginning dimension, Yin dimension, Yang dimension, Waffle dimension blah blah blah- And for the most part, they're really good, and I think they should be implemented. But here's the thing. WHY OVERCOMPLICATE? Minecraft is at least 70%, if not more, about the Overworld and your experiences, trials and such in there. Now I see there is an Aether thread and mod that quite frankly overcomplicates the WHOLE FLIPPING IDEA. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a sky dimension, so long as it was very different from the End. But... Bronze, silver and gold dungeons and bosses? Three new tree kinds and some ten new mobs? About three new kinds of toolset from different materials? Two tameable mob species, both ridable and one breedable to the point that its almost a mini-game? And more!? And the last Nether idea I saw first turned the place into a boss dimension before you could access the actual Nether, and I have seen all kinds of sugestions, namely giant netherworms, Nether skeletons, Nether trees (!), Nether ores of at least four kinds, Nether toolsets, passive Nether mobs, a giant Nether made of various layers that aren't even Nethery... I mean, really, is this necessary? Minecraft dimensions are not supposed to take over from Overworld. Sure, the End needs tuning up, the Nether could do with an ore-MAYBE two- And we seriously need an Atlantis/water dimension, but stop taking the whole idea so far out.

Mods, if this thread is in the wrong section, please move it to Suggestions or something. Thanks.

This! This, my friends, is why I always keep a gatling gun on my bedside table thing!

YES.

Just, YES.

Got a crapload of iron, tools, gold, redstone, l. buckets, compasses and clocks... Dug straight up for redstone, gravel fell down on me.

BUT I ESCAPED!

I stumbled my way out...

AND INTO A FRIGGEN LAVA LAKE.

So. Ghastbow.

What I am looking for here is a modder who will make a relatively simple mod for me without payment(haven't got Paypal), which, obviously, is called the Ghastbow. Here's the basics (remember that I am able to do the items.png texturing)...

1) The recipe for a Ghastbow should require three blaze rods, three ghast tears and three pieces of string. Like this. = blazerod, = ghast tear and = string.





...So, the recipe for a bow, but with blaze rods for sticks and ghast tears in all the gaps.

2) The fuel for a Ghastbow will be an item called Netherspheres, easily crafted from netherack and a lava bucket(bucket will be returned upon crafting, like cake). Like this. = lava bucket, = netherrack.






A lava bucket surrounded by netherrack. This will make 16 Netherspheres, which will have the exact same appearance as actual ghast/blaze fireballs, with the animated fire effect on the background(I doubt this is possible by texturing, and again, the effect should be easy to make for a good modder).

3) The Ghastbow, unlike the average bow, has to be fully charged to be fired. Each shot launches one ghast fireball, explosiveness and all.

4{optional challenge}) Dispensers should not be able to fire Netherspheres, unless they are crafted with Netherrack and a Ghastbow instead of cobble and a bow. Blocks and items shot by these Netherdispensers will be on fire, and unless they are collected quick, will vanish as in lava or fire. Arrows, snowballs and splash potions launched will have the fire effect, but this will not chane their behavior.

5{optional challenge}) Sometimes a Netherskeleton will spawn in the Nether with a Ghastbow! I will personally do the texture for these if any modder ever takes up the challenge. Netherskellies will usually spawn near Zombie Pigs, and should be immune to fire.

So, that is basically it!

413.

Pretty good, I like your style! However, my Minecraft is unable to handle HD packs...

I cause all the awkward situations in my direct area, its everyone elses problem to deal with 'em.

Go HERE and use the search bar to see if the skin you want hasn't already been made by me! This saves time for both you and me, and avoids you the embarrassment. Make sure you spelled the name right too!


(Oct 7 2013) AHHH I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH

Woooow how long has it been? A year? More? How's the wife? Good? Awesome. So in all my time I've been gone I've still been skinning but only on planet minecraft as it was much easier to handle than to have one thead where everything happens, plus skinning sorta lost its flavour with all the stress from year 12. But I finished highschool, moved to Melbourne from Tasmania, started uni, long story short I'm becoming an animator and my passion for skinning has been sparked again!I am in the process of getting this entire post updated so please bear with me. It could take a while, I've got over 170 skins now!

So what is Steamcraft?
Steamcraft is a complete overhaul of Minecraft. It adds roughly 40 new blocks, and about 70 new items. It also changes the way some items are crafted, notably Redstone, which is completely replaced. It does this to attempt to make Minecraft fit in with a steam punk style. A lot of the new content focusses on making the game feel more like it is set in the late 1800's.



Planned Features:

• Craftable Robotic Mobs to perform various tasks
• Steam Trains to allow faster travel
• Steam-Powered Zeppelin
• Craftable Mob Spawners
• Gears to provide "Kinetic" power instead of "Electric" power
• Electric Motors and Kinetic Generators to convert between Kinetic and Electric power
• Portcullis blocks, which can be put together in any shape and raised by Gears
• Expanded Nether dungeons

This mod may be downloadable, but it is still a work in progress. More features are planned but have not yet been implemented.

Special Thanks:

• Glimmar - For allowing me to edit his texture pack for use with this mod.

New content in red. Last updated 18 June / 2012.

THE WORLD

-Pigmen and creepers were the first inhabitants of the world. I based this on two things: 1- creepers are the race that stand out from the others, meaning they didn't evolve from others, and 2-See "Pigmen" below. Slimes were also one of the first inhabitants, but they didn't interfere with the world or other species.
- Normal animals - cows, sheep, wolves, chicken - existed but weren't sapient.

-Mineshafts were built by humans. Humans always want more power, so it would make sense for them to mine ores.

-Strongholds were built by pigmen. They were interested in the possibility of other dimensions and scientific advancement: Think of strongholds as labs. It explains the portals located inside.

-Dungeons were built by creepers. All creepers want is to eradicate the other species, so they invented spawners and used chests as bait.

- Mushroom biomes came after the Nether incident. See below.

- The new jungle/desert temples were built by humans as multi-purpose buildings (such as forts, houses, etc). They were abandoned after Nether invasion, during which various traps were set up.


PIGMEN

Pigmen, as I said above, were interested in scientific advancement. So the first time they tried making a portal, it failed and the resulting effect took some of their DNA and created two new species: pigs and humans.

HUMANS

Humans carried the pigmen's intelligence. However, they became more and more greedy, making enormous mineshafts.

PIGS

Carried the pigmen's appearance and physical advancement but were very dumb. Nothing important here.

CREEPERS

They seemed peaceful at first, but they were just hiding their true intentions: become the dominant species. So they built dungeons, but they needed a way to kill their enemies without killing themselves.
- Note: Some people weren't quite understanding it first, so here is an addendum. The creepers have paws especiallized to be used in building, carrying, and generally do what arms do for us. Ever heard of armless people who live fine using only their feet? That's what the creepers do.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER:

In one of the strongholds, while Pigmen were testing their portals, creepers swapped some chemicals to ones considered cursed, because they needed soldiers to their cause and expected to enslave the beings that would come from the portal. When it was activated, the Nether beings invaded the world.

THE NETHER:

Was the place that used to be the Ghasts' home, before they started doing the same thing as pigmen, opening a dimensional rift that destroyed their world. Result of this rift was the End (see below).

NETHER BEINGS:

All used to live peacefully with the Ghasts. When the accident happened, they just wanted to take revenge on everything else, because they couldn't contain their rage.

Note: that does include Magma Cubes! People weren't getting it...

NETHER FORTRESSES:

Shells of what used to be civilization on the Nether.

WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE INVASION:

-Humans were affected by the mysterious plagues coming from the Nether. Some became hungry zombies, others retained some intelligence to use bows and became skeletons.

-Another Nether plague affected insects. It explains giant spiders and silverfish.

-Pigmen, trying to stop the destruction Ghasts and Blazes were making, formulated different ways to close all Nether portals: one of them was entering...

THE END

As I said above, the dimensional rift that destroyed the Nether created an dimensional plane, the End. It was all empty except for some floating islands, but the pigmen though using the physics of this world would close the Nether portals, which were opening randomly. Unfortunately, the End had twisted physics and nothing was right there. So the pigmen didn't enter.

However, remaining humans wanted to get away from all the conflict with their precious minerals. So they entered the portal, being chased by a Ghast. Since nothing worked right in there, they were mutated into the Endermen. The Ghast that chased them mutated into the dragon.

The physics of the End don't affect the humans who came later (players) because a long time must be spent there for consequences to appear.

ENDERMEN:

Humans who entered the End and could never change back. As a result of the End's strange physics, they learned to teleport. Knowing they would never be human again, and would never have their ores again, they just steal blocks to remind them of their former self. They attack when you look at them because, remembering they were once like that, they have a great fear you could kill them, knowing a human has greater strength than them.

EYES OF ENDER by Ale_AKA_Sine (adapted by me)

The only way to open the portal to End is using several Ender eyes. The blaze powder, a very good chemical adapter, is combined with an ender pearl, the organ that permits enderman to teleport. This activates the portal, using the ender part to locate the destination (the End).

WHAT THE CREEPERS DID:

With success on their plan, the creepers used what the Nether offered to create monster spawners and destroy their enemies.

PIGMEN'S SOLUTION:

They entered the Nether, seeing it was the only way to stop everything. They were affected by the plague, but they invented a device to make the plague only affect them physically, however it was too late to save the humans since they were already on the Nether, only having physical changes. They used all their remaining technology and enchantments to close themselves inside, saving the overworld, it's inhabitants and their pig brethen.

THE PLAYER AND THE VILLAGERS:

Here it gets complicated: There is no "Steve". The remaining humans were divided in two groups:

-Those who tried to escape the plague and made a mass exodus on boats. That, combined with Ghasts sending them everywhere, resulted in the complete separation of the species. That means every game is true: since the world is so big, no human will ever find another. Works for SMP too: some humans traveled together in their escape.

-those who preferred to become very dumb, since the plague only affected intelligent species. They made small villages and lived peacefully.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SLIMES

They used to peacefully live in the world, being one of the original species. Lived on the surface as well as in caves, eating natural materials such as wood and stone. But when human miners started to invade their homes, slimes had to defend themselves, but with their body not being ready for combat, they were being defeated.

Humans then discovered that slimeballs were useful to glue tools together: they began to hunt for them. By the time of the Nether invasion, slimes had already retreated to the depths of the earth, on places humans wouldn't find them.

- MUSHROOM BIOMES:

The Nether, being full of mushrooms, infected the places with randomly generated portals (not pigmen created ones, just the portals being opened around the world during the invasion). Yes, that means every mushroom biome used to be an invasion point with a portal. Animals (cows) who wandered there were infected by the fungi too.

PIG BEING HIT BY LIGHTNING:

They become zombie pigmen because the lightning activates genes that had split pigmen into humans and pigs, transforming it into a pigman again. The reason it's zombie is because the transformation back is not perfect and so they don't become "full", rather they become similar to undead.

(fan-suggested section on records removed because it was stupid)

CHARGED CREEPERS:

Creepers get supercharged because of a device they implanted in their body to help destroying remaining humans, but it requires a large amount of energy. When they're hit by lightning, the device is activated, making their explosion much more dangerous.


SNOW GOLEMS

Pigmen creation, engineered only to fight blazes. The pigmen taught humans how to create them during the Nether invasion, so they could defend themselves.

IRON GOLEMS:

Another pigmen construct, engineered to protect the strongholds from zombies; but they never got produced before the pigmen migrated to the Nether. The blueprints survived, though, and were taken by villagers later.
- The golems look like villagers because the blueprints were damaged, and they needed to come up with something.

CONCLUSION:

-Pigmen now live in the Nether, with the same mind as before, but in a world too dangerous for their old civilization.
-Creepers succeeded in becoming the dominant species.
-Also means humans are slowly dying out, and with creeper attacks, undead and monsters, and natural death, they will eventually become extinct. Remember respawning is just a game mechanic.
-Humans build big structures and mines, since they remain greedy.
-Endermen walk in the world without a purpose to live.
- Herobrine does not exist. Period. This story don't credit stupid made-up stuff.
-Some humans don't realize they need to fight together to survive, and try to steal from each other - which could be expected seeing humans are greedy already.(PvP in SMP). Some just want to kill others in a way they have fun, while still minding the diamonds (griefers).

Please post feedback. Hope you liked it.

Everyone wants to have their own little dimension in Minecraft, whether it be the Hayther, the Bayther, or the Fee Fy Fo Faither, but most have no purpose for going there, other than the fact that "it would be really cool" or they post a bunch of random ideas that would not blend with vanilla in the slightest.

We need to have some order to things, a way to make implementing new dimensions into Minecraft worth it, and keep the overall MC feel...


And so, this is where the discussion begins...




- Find dimensions that fit with vanilla MC, dimensions that will contribute to the game and improve it rather than hinder it.

*We don't want anything ridiculous like a dimension made entirely of diamond, or a dimension that obviously doesn't fit Minecraft.

- Establish an order to the dimensions (in order to get to dimension A, I need to go to dimension B to get item X first, Etc.)

*All the main dimensions, with the exception of The End will be accessible from the overworld, meaning you can go to them and defeat their bosses in any order you please.

- Figure out a name for a freaking Water Dimension

*Some suggested names include:

- The Kyther
- The Deep
- Amphibia
- The Abyss
- The Hydroplex

- Improve upon current dimensions (mostly the Nether)

*Some things to think about improving

- More variety of blocks in the nether, not just netherrack
- More content in Ocean biomes
- BRING BACK THE BEACHES JEB IMPROVE THE BEACHES JEB
- Biome transitions (still need a little work)
- Nether biomes
- More generated structures in the overworld and nether
- Expanding The End to a full, Main dimension
- Making the nether player habitable (If players were to start out in the nether, they would be able to survive/thrive)


- Establish more detailed "daughter" threads about each dimension

* Each thread contains the items, mobs, and other stuff related to that dimension

* Each thread is "interlocked" with each-other, containing links to all the other threads

* Continuity is important, remember the agreed "Order of dimensions" and base your suggestions on that.

* "Thread Admins" will monitor and manage the threads. More on this in the Dimensions Section of this thread

* "Thread Mods" will help organize and direct information. More on this in the Dimensions Section of this thread


- Create bosses for each dimension, including current ones

*Bosses must be challenging, but not insanely difficult.

*Bosses should be unique, every boss can't be a dragon

*See the Dimensions Bosses Section of this thread for more details

This is where all of the generalized ideas and information goes, stuff that applies to all dimensions not just one particular one.






All dimensions have to have a portal. Like Nether portals and End portals, these portals link two areas of space together. While inter-dimensional travel is quite complicated, I'll spare you the details.

Though all portals are meant to do the same thing, serve as transportation to a dimension, there are actually 3 different types of portals, each with distinct features to them.

Below, I have made it simple by classifying the different types.




There are 3 types of portals, "Static" (S portal), "Dynamic" (D portal), and "Semi-Static"(SS portal) portals.








Static portals are portals that are generated by the game in a certain place. Static portals CANNOT be moved OR be created by the player, requiring them to be found before there able to be used.

- Portals to boss dimensions are all of this type
- This kind of portal may not need to be activated by the player



End portals are Static







Dynamic portals are portals that are created by the player with blocks. Unlike static portals, Dynamic portals can be made anywhere, and can be moved whenever you want.

- Requires that the player have certain materials
- Usually has to be activated by the player
- May not work in some dimensions (IE, boss dimensions)



Nether portals are Dynamic








Semi-static portals are basically a hybrid of both Static and Dynamic portals. Semi-static portals come in 2 types.

Type 1: A type 1 SS portal is generated by the just like a Static portal, and also like a static portal, the player must find the portal in the world. But unlike a Static portal, once found, a type 1 SS can be mined and moved elsewhere.

- Usually found active, however, the player must reactivate the portal if they decide to move it

Type 2: A type 2 SS portal must be created by the player just like a Dynamic portal and can be moved by the player at whim. Unlike a Dynamic portal, however, it only works in specific places.

- Only works in specific places. Monuments, temples, shrines, whatever
- Requires the player to have certain materials to create it.
- Player activated



There are currently no portals in Minecraft that are of this type.

---

Dimensions come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all can be classified into three groups, "Main" dimensions, "Side" dimensions, and "Boss" dimensions






Main dimensions are dimensions that contain most of the content in Minecraft. They contain important items, and the portals to the Main boss dimensions.

- Contains most of the content in Minecraft
- Contains boss portals
- Currently there are five main dimensions
*The Overworld
*The Nether
*The Skylands/Sky dimension etc. (has not been implemented yet)
*The Unnamed Water dimension (has not been implemented yet)
*The End (not as it is now, The End will become its own dimension with its own boss dimension. The Overworld will get a new boss and boss dimension)

- Dynamic portals are used to access these dimensions










Boss dimensions contain bosses of course. They are made specifically for the boss they house, and usually don't have many dimension exclusive items other than what the dimension is made of.

- Always accessed via a Static Portal
- Contains bosses
- Limited in size
- Low content, mostly just for the boss fight
- Boss must be fought to leave
- Dynamic and type 1 SS portals do not work in these dimensions.











Side dimensions are dimensions that are purely optional to go too. They contain minor bonus content and treasures that aren't needed to beat the game.

- Purely optional
- Usually require some sort of special way to access the dimension, unique for each side dimension
- Can contain mini bosses that spawn in specific areas in the world
- May contain Boss portals to optional bosses

---

After a lot of discussion, we have decided to have the dimensions be in sort of a tree-like system. All of the Main dimensions, with the exception of The End, will be accessible from the Overworld.

There will obviously be different ways and different things you need to do to access them (Ex. you need diamonds to get obsidian for a nether portal)




As you can see, you still need to beat all of the other bosses before accessing The End, but you can fight them in any order you please.

Also, there are side dimensions that branch off from the main dimensions, which can only be accessed from that particular dimension. The side dimensions will probably relate to their main dimension in some way.

---

- The main dimensions will all have bosses

- To get to The End, all of the other Main Dimensions' bosses must be defeated.

- It is likely that there will be other "side dimensions" that will either not have bosses, or have optional Bosses and/or "Mini-bosses"

Stuck in a different dimension? Can't find that boss portal? Don't worry, we have that covered!




Traveling through different dimensions can be difficult, so sometimes you just need a way to get back home.

For that, we have pearls. Pearls, when used in there native dimension do nothing, but when you are in a different dimension, they will act as an abort button, sending you to your spawn point in that dimension. Pearls only have one use, and cause a bit of damage when you use them, so be careful.

Pearls are crafted with an ender pearl, and materials exclusive to their dimension, so you would have to have visited that dimension to be able to make its pearl.



An example of how fire pearl might be crafted.
.



For now, there should be at least 4 pearls, one for each Main Dimension, we will talk side dimensions later

Fire pearl: More legit crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

Crafting concepts

Water pearl: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

Sky pearl: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

Earth pearl: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!






All of the main dimensions have boss portals, and you can't just wander around the dimension aimlessly trying to find them.

That's why we have Eyes. (not the ones you see with, the ones that lead you to dimension portals silly )

Eyes, like pearls, are crafted using an enderpearl, and materials found exclusively in that dimension. Unlike pearls however, they have unlimited uses.


Nether eye: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

WD eye: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

Skylands eye: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

overworld eye: Crafting concepts needed! Sprite concepts needed!

Possible crafting and sprite
Thanks to auquamarine518 for the sprite!



Eyes lead you to a dimensions boss portal. The current system is rather lacking, it is quite annoying using Eyes of Ender to locate strongholds, and this system of them flying into the air and falling down will be a pain in the nether with all those lava lakes.

So I came up with a possibly better alternative. You place the Eye on the top of a block, it floats up into the air slightly, emits a trail of particles in the direction of the stronghold, then floats back down to be collected easily.


The art is crappy, but the concept is there!

Would like some feedback on this.

Quote from Rabidbadger

New gameplay options should be forthcoming with each dimension.

*The nether allows you to obtain blaze rods to make a brewing strand, other dimensions should have some sort of new gameplay mechanic implemented with them as well.


- Utility block upgrades

*Gathering certain materials and crafting them with a utility block like a furnace will upgrade it!
*This "level 2" furnace is more efficient (smelts more blocks on one piece of coal, wood etc.), and smelts faster than a normal furnace!


- Necromancy

*Resurrect mobs from the dead to serve you!
*Re-Fight Defeated bosses!

This is where all the proposed ideas go for now, later on, once these ideas are polished enough, the "Daughter threads" will be made and users will be put in charge of them.

Once we have all the threads running, it will be just like a mini-forum if you will.

All the threads would be interconnected via links, and this thread will become the generalized dimension thread, where the information and ideas that apply to all dimensions goes.

There will be a brief description and some pictures for each dimension, and a link to that dimension's thread.

I can't manage 5 threads at once, so "Thread Admins" and "Thread Mods" will be necessary. I will check on the other threads every once in a while to make sure everything is in order of course.

"Thread Admins" are basically the people put in charge of making/managing the threads. They also will act as "Thread Mods" as well.

"Thread Mods" are the people who will organize information and ideas, and direct users to the proper thread if necessary

(Ex. If a user posts an idea in the Nether thread that might work better in the Skylands thread, a "Thread Mod" will direct the user to the Skylands thread.)

I would also like to make sure everyone knows, THESE IDEAS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, THEY ARE NOT 100% FINAL. WE ARE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS AS WELL AS POSSIBLE BETTER ALTERNATIVES TO THINGS.













The "Main Dimensions" of Minecraft, they contain most of the content in the game.

All the people who have contributed to this thread!

Well, This Is my idea!

I Think That the snow/ice biomes need their own special mobs, So Perhaps replacing chickens in the snow there will be penguins!
(also, I just like penguins to begin with )


This mod descripitons perfectly fits how I want my penguins to be, but if it were to be added It will need to be more vanillay.


I use this mod, love this mod. and want it in normal Mc,



Here are some general facts about the penguins in this mod:
They spawn on ice plains and in ice mountains.
They give a long emperor penguin call when they're healthy. (When they're not healthy, they make a much shorter noise.)
If you attack one, all penguins in the vicinity will attack you.
Penguins like to attack skeletons.
After swimming, a penguin shakes off water like a dog.



Penguin Flippers
When a penguin dies, it might drop one or two penguin feathers.
Six Penguin feathers can be crafted into flippers by arranging them in the crafting grid in two columns of three.
Wearing flippers lets you swim at high speeds, but flippers also make it hard to walk, impossible to jump one meter, and difficult to climb out of the water.


Taming Penguins
A penguin can be tamed with a raw fish
A tame penguin wears a red bow-tie and has more health than a wild penguin.
Unlike wolves, penguins don't have a visual indicator of low health, but when a penguin's health is low, it will make a short clicking noise instead of its usual call.
Your tame penguins will not fight your battles for you. However, tame penguins love to attack skeletons as much as wild penguins do.


Penguins attacking a skeleton at dawn.



And introducing...




Little Blue Penguins!

You know how the ocean biomes are pretty much useless? Just water with rare islands?
Well not all penguins like snow... This might give oceans and the little sand islands purpose

http://en.wikipedia..../Little_Penguin

I'd have the buggers spawn only in ocean biomes and go from there,

MUAHAHHAHAHAHHA!

THis^ is what I want my penguins to be like,
But I know for them to be added, They will need to be..Vanilla'd

The chickens of the tundra,
Maybe remove the taming, ( though I want it)
Some other reskins of mobs to balance out, (Mummys instead of zombies in the sand?)
Get rid of the flippers (Sadly)
,A more vanilla model.

I am reposting my idea for penguins in the vanilla game, because the thread was deleted, ( I suspect It was becuase of a war between my and gyspyblackmajic on the thread,)

The old thread had 20+ Votes that wanted penguins so, Idk.

Also. I made a survival map. Could you guys check it out?

And Every one who posted in the thread.

I dislike seeing a desert (since in minecraft deserts are hot biomes) right next to a snowy biome. So I asked myself, should something be done about it and now I want to hear/see your opinions about this.

The easiest way to do this should be using three categories for biomes : Hot, Medium and Cold. Hot can't spawn next to cold climate and vice versa. Medium can have both next to it. This way the terrain generation would make a lot more sense in my mind.


Oh, if you would like to see this, please post a "/signed" or a comment, don't just vote. Otherwise this thread sinks into oblivion.

Edit : This doesn't mean they are not random anymore.
Edit 2 (4.2.) :
Like 232323 showed :

=hot
=mid
=cold




(Example, composition is of course thought to be random)

Also, since it came up pretty often, MC deserts are considered a hot biome.

(brought up by Hayarotle, from minecraftwiki)
And a last thing mentioned by Shewolf (kinda) : It would be nice to have that as an option. Maybe a world option or so.

Changed the poll title from "Would you like sorted climates" to "Would you like climates to be a bit more sorted?"
I hope it's more clear I still want them to be random.

Edit 21.2.2012:
somohexual brought up a good point about extremely high mountains. If those get a snow-tip (own biome), I think it would be best to leave them out of the categories, so they act like a buffer. The reasoning behind this is, that the snow is justified by great height rather than it's surrounding biomes.
