I also love snowy/icy terrain and try not to destroy them. Regenerating snow/ice? Yes, please. And throw in a saw or something to cut ice blocks so I can build an ice castle/cave. Weather in general would add to the atmosphere, as do the sheep and wolves (which is why I cannot choose any option on your poll, sorry). I understand Minecraft had rain and snow long before I even learned of it, and if Cocoa Beans can make a return, surely a rudimentary weather system can as well?
You may be a Minecrafter if you think a Jack-o-Lantern stays lit underwater.
You are a Minecrafter if you use it to light your way underwater.
EDIT: I've thought of some more (sadly):
You may be a Minecrafter if you think tree branches are cross-sections of trunks that grow parallel to the actual trunk.
And that tree branches can grow without being connected to the actual trunk.
And by bashing leaves you can find saplings.
This is definitely a tricky seed to begin with. I've tried it at least five times and each time spawned on snow or near it. Trees can be hard to come by depending on where you spawn and if you're like me and set Render Distance to Tiny. The hills tend to slope gently, so finding coal can set you back days, even if you shun the huge ice and snow terrain for the more clement areas. However, if you stick it out, sugar canes, pumpkins and clay are fairly near at hand in decent quantities. This I'm basing on my initial spawn point of -162, 65, -1 (although you'll still have to range at least 100 blocks from this focal point). This seed is most definitely a spelunking exercise, for once you get some torches ready, you'll be treated to some very interesting natural caves, chock-a-block with coal, iron and redstone. There are also some decent deposits of gold, diamond and lapis. After a few hours I found a Spider dungeon with a couple of chests. And because I'm more an explorer and crafter than a fighter (and so cowardly play on Peaceful) I wanted more moss stone. Yes, I used an x-ray texture pack, but was rewarded when several dungeons popped up (and I mean at least 8 within a 300 block radius along x and z). Most of these are isolated and so are unlikely to be found without using x-ray. This is for those, like me, who love snow and ice, few trees and no mountains.
