Um...Is this project still active?

Well, people always have legs /sarcasm

But really, people can use almost anything to kill each other. I think that getting rid of guns would, perhaps, reduce the number of criminals who have guns, but the really bad criminals would be doing stuff like killing police officers to get guns. Then they would go and kill whoever they pleased with the guns. After all, people have no guns to defend themselves. They could not even use a gun to reasonably threaten the criminals.

I am 14, but here is an idea to keep people like me off your server:

Do not say that it is 18+, just have them say their age. They will (hopefully) be more honest that way. Just judge based on age, but do not advertise that you do.

We'll find out.

What I am saying is that, a criminal will not be deterred from committing his crime simply by the lack of guns. One does not say, "I got gun; maybe it will be fun to try it on someone!" No, they get mad or insane over something, and dwell on how to commit the crime. Here, the criminal would think, "How would I kill the people?" They would then realize, if guns are not banned, that they have a gun. They would then go and shoot a whole bunch of people. If they did not have a gun due to laws, they would find a knife or club or whatever to kill people with.

In other words, crimes are not committed due to the presence or lack thereof of guns. They are committed solely because of a man's evil intent.

That being said, it is far easier to commit far more heinous crimes with guns. The severity of crimes one can commit with a gun is far larger than that you can commit with a knife.

I'm not trying to be an ass when i say this, but if I am I apologize, these threads are just as annoying as the threads of the whiners. Sure they aren't complaining about the update, but they are just as evangelical as those that are. I would rather this forum be about the actual update, not people complaining back and forth about whether it will suck or not.

Your not a true fan of Minecraft.

There is NOTHING about 1.8 that is going to change how you view Minecraft.

And before you mention a few things I know you'll bring up, let me go over them.

Leveling up and experience - Not required. Also, killing mobs (which is pretty much necessary) gives you experience

Hunger - You've pretty much always had to eat. For people who say peaceful, there will be tons of passive mobs you kill, and now all passive mobs except sheep drop food. Also, there might not even be hunger in peaceful. I don't think we know yet.

Endermen - They aren't going to ruin your creations. Not only are they going to avoid unnatural blocks, but I'm sure there are tons of other limits on them to. They are not overpowered. They do two and a half hearts and die in water.

Silverfish - Probably will be very easy to kill and will be as weak or weaker than spiders. Might scare you a little, but caving can be pretty scary already.

Larger biomes - How can you be angry at this? Whenever I like to build a huge thing in an area, it always takes up the entire area. For example, if you want to build a huge desert palace, it takes up the entire desert! Larger biomes certainly can't hurt.

NPC Villages - Just avoid them if you want. Jeb said that NPC villages are optional earlier. I don't know if it still applies now, but it probably will.

Huge Mushrooms - They may be ugly, but oh well. Just destroy every one you see if you really want.

Creative mode - Some people are spreading rumors that survival is going away or something. Wrong. Creative mode is completely optional, and will help me create redstone stuff a lot.

Anything I missed? I would love to discuss how they won't break Minecraft.

Notch just recently posted this image on Twitter, which is the official skin for the 1.8 Endermen. This will help you texture pack makers, with your 1.8 textures.

And just to prove this really is the Enderman skin, here's Notch himself posting the link.

The unwritten law of the internet states that if there's something that makes people happy, there's always gotta be at least 5 people who complain about it just to ruin the mood.

Quote from Patrickrand

Threads about people complaining are just as bad as threads where people complain.

It's really not.

Change my texture pack to something that makes Endermen look hilarious, come back on, and stare at it without laughing.
