Mystic_Eyes posted a message on Sharks and Water Breathing Potions [Pics][142+ Supporters!]Yes, I'm aware shark suggestions have been done to death, but just hear me out.Posted in: Suggestions
- Spawns in ocean or beach biomes
- Only between 60 - 48 altitude, at light levels 11 and below
- And only on
or 
blocks
- Uncommon
- Neutral
- Cannot drown, suffocates and is greatly slowed if beached
- Has 16 health (

- Does 4 damage ()
- Drops:

(0-2)
- Basis
Like their real life equivalent, these sharks would be non-hostile unless provoked. I'm sure that many of you are scratching your heads wondering why sharks of all things should be implemented as a neutral mob. That premise is based off some things Notch said, where he didn't want to implement hostile sharks [see "Notch's streaming (July 14, 2010)"]. I'm well aware that Notch is no longer an active member of the team, but there's a good reason for no hostile aquatic mobs due to the massive advantage even a small group would have over the player.
Sharks spawn in ocean biomes and only on dirt or sand. Therefore, you're not going to have them invade your cobblestone swimming pool or have to tiptoe around them while picking up crops that fell in the water. They are nocturnal predators and become more active during the night. During this time they feed on their favorite food, squid.
They are resistant to conventional methods for taking critical damage and will also resist being pulled by a fishing rod, but if moved out of the water they will slowly flee and suffocate.
Sharks may drop Shark Skin (
) which if it is used in a potion, it will create a Potion of Water Breathing, (
) which adds the unused item and status effect for player use. One interesting aspect is that sharks will rarely spawn with one or two fish () floating alongside them.
If they spawn during the rain, that likelihood doubles. Players can use shears or a fishing rod to pluck the fish right off the shark, but if they do, the shark will be provoked. If killed while having fish float around them, the shark will drop the respective amount of fish. Note: this does not replace the default fishing method.

BC_Programming posted a message on Saddles do NOT need a recipe! (POPULAR)Posted in: DiscussionQuote from Decan
sigh, making materials interchangeable to prove what you think is an acceptable argument is really only confusing the issue.
No, It's not. This is a fallacy of exclusive premises. On what grounds are those other recipes invalid in the same context? It doens't confuse the issue- it makes it far more clear.
No one is holding your hand to go into dungeons.
No one is holding your hand to go into the neither.
No one is holding your hand to go into a strongholds.
No one is holding your hand to go into fortresses.
No one is holding your hand to go do the dishes.
no one is holding your hand to go to school.
You see how redundant your rebuttal is?
Uh... Doesn't this show how redundant what you said is? The very point we saying that what you said could easily apply to everything, and you were making a fallacy of exclusive premise to essentially ignore those other applications of your rules. It's also a case of Special Pleading to assert- as you have here- that the concept of craftable saddles is somehow exclusive to those other craftable ideas, without actually showing how that is the case.
I already replied to BC.
No you didn't. Not in those cases.
I mean if you just said that you agree with BC that would be one thing. It seems your now grasping at others comments as your own. Out of ideas fallacy.
"Out if ideas" fallacy is not a fallacy, but if it was, this passage of argument was "fallacy fallacy" This is because you presume that because a fallacy has been made the refutation itself must be wrong.
On the other hand, his argument doesn't have a "out of ideas" fallacy because there is no such thing.
Quote from Blizzard498
This is pathetic you can't control how players play Minecraft. If I wanted to craft a saddle if there was recipe I would craft a damn saddle! I still like the occasional waste of pocket space the saddles are from exploring but hey that's how I play, If it's craftable, craft it! If you don't want a crafting recipe? Don't Craft it!
Honestly I am not against the idea of craftable saddles. What I am against is people making outright stupid arguments from ignorance and refusing to actually respond to refutations. "that's just confusing the issue" No, what confused the issue is the fact that the argument applies equally to those other things. It being pointed out doesn't cloud the issue at all, it just proves how flimsy the logic being used is.
Even so, this post is a good example that continues to miss the point. the "it should be craftable because people that don't want it to be craftable don't have to use it" argument is a bad one because it applies to absolutely everything in the game. That same argument applies to all the other items that have been mentioned that are currently not craftable, mob spawners, Record discs, Command blocks, Horse armours, Chainmail, fire blocks, lava blocks, water blocks, etc. To argue that Saddles are somehow a "special case" to that logic is special pleading. That isn't, of course, to commit a slippery slippery slope fallacy by saying that if Saddles get craftable it's only a matter of time before we get craftable command blocks, lava blocks, etc. But the fact that the exact same logic applies means one should either find a better reason rooted in reality, or discard that original reason, because it requires special pleading to even be valid. -

ChaosGuardian posted a message on Did the Terrain Become BORING? (UPDATE 6/5/13 - 1.7 is a biome update?)Posted in: Discussion*NEWS*Update 6/5/13
Word has come out that 1.7 may include biome changes. Stay tuned.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Adventure Update was supposed to give us more motivation to explore, but instead the motivation was taken away. Here's why:
Many of the features included in the 1.7.3 generator that brought the game to life were unexpectedly removed when 1.8 hit our clients. Due to this, monstrous amounts of variety are now non-existent in Minecraft. Most of the problems with the generator today are due to limitation. With that being said, every seed is now basically identical, meaning there is WAY too much predictiveness in the terrain:
LIMITED HEIGHT VARIATION
For instance, we can only find mountains in the Extreme Hills (EH) biome and the X-hills biomes (ForestHills, DesertHills, etc.) In the EH biome, height changes are forced, ALWAYS leaving us with a sloppy mess of turquoise spam reaching to the heavens. In the X-hills biomes, the same thing happens, except height changes hardly ever reach "mountain level."
So why is this bad? Although this brings us joyous mountains, they are never spread apart, or landlocked by flat land. Thus, if you find a mountain you are nearly 100% sure to find more and more. Also, when you see turquoise grass, you are 100% sure to find mountains. It's predictability at its greatest. This is bad because the pre-1.8 generator contained more height variation. You could literally find any type of landscape. Just look at the variety of landscapes you could find in pre-1.8 in comparison to current generation:
As you see from this picture, the only way to achieve max-height terrain is to visit the EH biome. No, X-hills will not allow you to do this. What we do know is that EH biomes and X-hills together give us a somewhat decent array of variation, but 1.7.3's array was a LOT bigger. Want proof?
In this image, not only is there an overhang and a thin rocky formation, but there is flat land isolating both of these. There is no way to represent full random height variation in one picture, but this may give you a hint as to what it may be. What else can we bring to the plate?
Beta 1.8+ babies may not know what this is. Here is a picture of the most popular seed before the terrain was ruined. Glacier was its name. Now, this isn't the best picture of the Glacier Mountains, but I will attempt to describe it. Imagine a seasonal forest with mountains sprawling across the whole biome. This may seem like the equivalent of today's ForestHills sub-biome but it is not! An area such as the Glacier Mountains was not something you would see every five minutes. It was found by seed-hunting -- another damaged factor due to the 1.8 terrain changes. Ladies and gentlefish, this seed may just describe what height variation is all about. You see, if you exited the area of the mountains, there'd be terrain nothing like it. You would see occasional hills and land easy to build on! And guess what? This all happened within biomes of the same name. There were no limitations nor restrictions.
Now before you start replying (and I urge you not until reading ALL of this post), let me show you what the 1.7.3 generator could do, even though people may think it wasn't possible.
The picture above IS Beta-1.7.3 terrain, not Release-1.3.2. Yes, flat land was possible. REMEMBER, we are not asking for the previous generator! We want the current one improved so that everyone is happy!!!!
FORCED ENDLESS CAVES
Another flaw of the current generator is the underground generation. There are simply too many caves, and this problem is existent in every world, just like our height variation problem. Often, I find myself bored in-game, because within the first five minutes of a newly created world, I'm already set for life because I found a cave that extends on and on. Literally, we can now find stacks of iron ore and enough diamond to last us half a year within the first hour of gameplay!
So why is this bad? It is understandable some people may like having extensive caves, as do I, but not all the time. Minecraft always needed more challenge, and this cave problem definitely worsens the issue. Back in pre-1.8, there were caves of varying sizes -- the same amount of variety that the mountains had. Now we are limited to seemingly endless tunnels and caverns. Don't you miss "conquering" a cave in less than 10 years? I know I do.
Don't believe me? Look at this:
You could say "that's just one area in one world." WRONG. Look at this:
Want more?
This is absurd. The people who enjoy extensive caves are sure happy, but the people who want caves of varying sizes should be enraged!
SLOPPY SAND BEACHES & ABSENCE OF GRAVEL BEACHES
Another problem with current terrain generation includes the formation of beaches and the absence of gravel beaches. Gravel beaches were an undeniably cool feature to pre-1.8 generation, and Mojang had no reason to remove them when the Adventure Update hit our clients. Remember the "404 Challenge?" Well now it's impossible to have anything merely resemble it (except for the extensive cave system, of course). Sandy beaches are now always sloppily generated, therefore lowering the rate of variety within every world.
Why is this bad? It is obvious that the removal of gravel beaches upsets many people, as it does to me. Sandy beaches on the other hand definitely need work. Take a look at this current beach:
..Well that was awkward. The generator seems to just replace random coasts with sand blocks. Face it, pre-1.8 had things like this as well, maybe not as common, but definitely existent. However, pre-1.8 also had good looking beaches! This is what we call VARIETY -- when things stop reappearing over and over again.
Ok, admitted, the picture above may be a little biased. Let's throw in a picture that an opposer gave to me:
This is someone's example of a perfect beach. You've got to be kidding me. First off, two things need to be pointed about before getting into the specifics.
1. This is set on the Large Biomes option. Good terrain should be available to those who play on the default setting!
2. This "beach" is adjacent to a jungle biome. Beaches next to jungle biomes tend to look a bit nicer in comparison to those that are adjacent to other biomes. Therefore, this picture is a little biased itself.
As said before, the main problem with today's beaches is that they are always going to have this form. Only one or two horizontal lines of sand are actually on sea-level. Again, we had crappy beaches and good beaches in 1.7.3 and this is good because of the variety it brought to the game. We all shouldn't be able to reach preffered terrain everywhere we go, right? That's the challenge and fun!
Take a look at this picture of a pre-1.8 beach:
Now that's what I call a good looking beach! Look how many consistent sand blocks are actually on sea-level. Compare that to the one or two lines of consistent sandy-coasts in current generation. Remember, pre-1.8 also had crappy beaches, which is a good thing because it distributed variety into every world.
Keep in mind, this thread is NOT about the existence of oceans, the "RPG" features, the existence of the new world generation features, biome size, random placement of biomes, and possibly more. We also do not endorse the return of past generators or a new world option.If you want to discuss these said features, you are in the WRONG THREAD.
WHY MODS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION:
Quote from Shreaders »Mods are a temporary fix to a long-term problem. Most of the terrain altering mods out there do not even live up to the standards that are put forth in this thread. They all are attempts to bring back 1.7 map generation into the current terrain. If you're asking Isn't this what we want? No, and this means that you did not read the full thread. So please go back, re-read the thread, and then re-post.
What we want done to the terrain is have it tweaked to add more height variety per biome. We want the structures and everything that was added since 1.8 except for the flat, dull, boring land. Mods do not fix this as they create ugly jumbled up and chewed up land masses all over the place (Which those types of land masses can also be neat if harnessed and used correctly by mojang.)
Did not know that? Re-read the thread, and re-post.
So for those of you who keep coming on here advertising different mods that we can use: 45 people have mentioned the same thing before you: so do not bother as it will not silence us. We feel the current map generation needs to be altered to satisfy all of Mojangs player base not just 25% (and yes those numbers are accurate .. the poll for this change is at 75% yes and 25% no) Did not know that? Simple.. Re-read the thread, and then re-post.
Tell Mojang about this issue!

Quote from Mattressi »
I'm a little confused that this isn't a bigger complaint: I mean, swamps look ugly, sure and there are a few bugs here and there, but BIOMES ARE ABSOLUTELY RUINED. Seriously, I can't even play anymore - I'm just so bored by the landscape. I like mountains with trees (regular, pines and birch) and snow. I can have either mountains OR snow OR trees. Awesome
Seeds are completely pointless now - all they do is determine your spawn point. Might as well just use one seed and ask at the start if you want to start in the biome with trees, the biome with mountains or the other biomes with nothing in them.
Has anyone tried tweeting jeb about this (I'm pretty sure Notch isn't working on Minecraft anymore)? To me, this is the single largest issue with Minecraft currently. Varied and crazy terrain was one of the greatest things about Minecraft pre-1.8. Now, Minecraft's terrain is more boring than in real life. Realism I could possibly stand (in a game with creepers and which originally became popular because of its crazy and interesting randomly generated terrain), but it simply isn't realistic to have no snow on any mountains, to have no trees (one tree per chunk doesn't count - I'm talking forests) anywhere where it snows, to have almost completely flat terrain everywhere except in one specific area which has huge mountains and nothing else.
Some have said it's this way because of NPC villages - if that's the case, I'd much rather have no NPCs at all if it will bring back an interesting world.
Please, can someone here who uses twitter contact jeb and link him to this thread or ask if he realises that Minecraft's terrain generation is horrible and boring now, and whether he intends to fix it? If Mojang think it's fine as it is and don't fix it, I honestly won't be playing anymore. Bring back variety and craziness or lose those of your customers who enjoyed (above ground) exploration, building in unique locations, searching for the best seed, admiring the views and even just doing other things in a world that didn't feel like a void.
Quote from Strottinglemon »The problem I have with it is: EVERY. WORLD. LOOKS. EXACTLY. THE. SAME.
Quote from Homem Pigman »Moving mountains to a single biome was simply the worst idea in all of gaming history. And even those look bland.I want the extremely random worlds that made Minecraft be awesome!
Quote from Mamrok »The terrain is a lot LESS complex than it used to be. What made the old generator more complex is, that the
physical terrain overlapped with all biomes, so that we had a lot of combinations. The biomes now are very homogenic and are seperated from each other with surgical cuts. 1000 blocks of flat forrest *poof* 1200 blocks of flat desert *poof* 1000 blocks of treeless extreme mountains *poof* 1000 blocks of flat forrest. very complex...
Also the additon of ravines and rivers doesnt have anything to do with how the terrain and biomes are created. They are just superimposed over the landscape.
Quote from giraffeartillery »This more realistic terrain generation is incredibly bland. Once you see one biome, you have basically seen them all.
The old one was varied and the biome mixing created some nice landscapes. Also spawning on a beach made it feel like you washed up on the shores of a unknown land. I wouldn't mind some modifications to the underground how ever.
Quote from Domino »The sizes are perfect, but they need more variety in each one.
Quote from Flygonair »I was gonna post a hate comment, but once i looked at the screenshots i realised you were right! I haven't seen any awesome looking mountain formations since 1.0.0! All i've been seeing is the same old plains, swamps, and pine forests!
Quote from MineCrak »I used to be ok with there being some caves, but now the entire damned underground is swiss-cheesed with them... Now I hate them.
Perhaps the people who love the endless caves are playing the game in Peaceful or Creative mode. Caves are a whole different matter in Normal difficulty. They are constantly getting in the way of my mines and underground constructions.
I would rather have fewer but more epic caves or actual caverns then an endless ant farm of caves everywhere I dig..
Quote from xlea99 »I kind of used to hate people who said the terrain was boring... but it is REALLY flat. I guess I have to agree now. While I'm in love with oceans and mushroomlands and jungles, there is not as much interesting stuff in the world. I really wish that jeb would put back in what notch took out: Mountain landforms.
By that I mean not a mountain biome, but allowing allowing mountains to spawn in any biome on their own. That was one reason that the 1.7.3 generator was so friggin amazing.
If Jeb made it so that mountains could spawn in the same sort of way as lakes, then things would get a lot better. Then, mountains would be spawning in forests, giving us back that good-ole' tree filled mountain range we all love. It could spawn in Praries, to allow villages to be at the top of the world. It could spawn in deserts, to give us back those sand falls. They could spawn in oceans, so you could find just a random huge mountain in the ocean, kind of like a survival island. Heck, they could even spawn in swamps. Allowing for some pretty cool crap to happen.
Also, Jeb needs to put back the gravel beaches. I loved the look of those, and they just made things look so good.
Quote from Wiggycat314 »I have been a heavy Minecraft player since Alpha 1.2.0_02 when I first started playing. It wasn't the mining or the monsters that urged me to play; it was the sense of adventure. Most of the time, when I make a new world, I don't plan on building, I spend most of the time exploring the unknown and seeing what Minecraft has to throw at me.
When the ability to use seeds came out in Beta 1.3, it was then that my sense of exploration really started to rise. So many words and letters to type, so many worlds, but so little time. I loved it, each world had it's own uniqueness to it. If you managed to find a very nice world, you knew that this world was yours and no one else had one like it (unless you shared the seed).
When 1.8 came out, it really hit me hard. There was little to no variety in the worlds anymore. Seeds (in my opinion) were then obsolete. What's the point of sharing seeds when every world looks the same.
Quote from Creative_Explorer »It is a fact that the terrain has less variety in it than before.
Quote from Frogging101 »I don't know why, but there are way way way too many caves. I don't recall there being this many before 1.8. I like exploring caves, and it's cool to navigate the enormous mineshafts. But only to a certain point. After spending hours and hours in a seemingly endless cave system, it just gets boring and repetitive. The cave system that I've been in since I started this world 3 days ago is just way too big. I dug a staircase mine type thing for a bit, just to collect a few ores to get me started. Within about 5-10 minutes I found my self in a cave system. 3 days later, I'm still in the cave system. I've seen about 3 ravines, destroyed 2 cave spider spawners, gotten lost in 2 different abandoned mineshafts and maybe 20 different caverns. I have half a chest full of coal, and the other half is iron, gold and a few diamonds.IT NEVER ENDS.
Quote from Owl Exterminator »I love enchanting, I love the new biomes, I love all of the new features, and there isn't one I would ever want removed from the game. I miss the old world though. The new world isn't the same, it doesn't even compare. I'm sorry to all those people I insulted back when the adventure update went live. I'm sorry because I know why you were upset.
I wouldn't be against Mojang hiring a guy on full time to do nothing but work on the terrain, as long as it gets done.Quote from DrakBadgerwaffles »
Also, is the Bukkit team actually still part of Mojang? I thought they were hired on and since then I've heard very little out of the progress they are supposed to be making.
Here's a rundown of how I think they are splitting their efforts. I'm thinking Bukkit got there, wanted to finish working on the Mod API, opened up the core program and realize that it was just a bunch of empty classes that would require a ton more time than they figured. Then 1.4 was held back to compensate.
Meanwhile, Jeb and Dinnerbone get to work on RPG stuff because Dinnerbone really only knows how to work with entities and Jeb is really only good at picking up the slack that Notch created when he would have his brain-farts so infrequently since the beginning of 1.8pre.
Then Notch leaves after delivering terrain so uninspired that he forgot to add roses, snow, and mountains (Really!? How can some people think current gen is better than 1.7.3 when it didn't even launch with ROSES and SNOW!?), Jeb takes up the torch of the entire game, makes beaches and X-hills their own biomes because he has no idea what mess of cobwebs Notch put up, and here we are with vertical beaches, endless biomes of flat terrain, and mountains that are so forced that even their heights are the same...
And some people still think 1.8 and up is better than 1.7.3? The development process alone is horrible enough to be deal-breaker.
Quote from xBella »Gah. I honestly can't stand the 1.3.2 terrain generation at all anymore. If I play singleplayer, it's always with my 1.7.3 .jar because it's just an eyesore to look at the current terrain generation. The terrain of 1.7.3 makes it seem like a whole new game. Honestly, I love jungles and swamps but I would trade it and NPC villages for the 1.7.3 terrain. That doesn't mean I want Jeb to just re-add 1.7.3 terrain and dump jungles and swamps, I just want him to improve it.What happened to the savannahs? It bugs me so much to see a desert next to a jungle. I don't even know why they removed the temperature system. I miss the beaches and the gravel beaches that were everywhere. Beach houses were possible back then. If you wanted a proper beach house now, you'd have to have a tiny 2x2 house just to fit it in the beach. It also annoys me a lot when people tell me to use Large Biomes if I want better beaches. Why should I have to use Large Biomes to enjoy a feature that was once perfect? We don't need the 1.7.3 terrain generator back, we need the current one improved.

oCrapaCreeper posted a message on Do you like the new hunger system? (Now with amounts of health each food heals)EDIT: Since I've updated more on how this system actually works, I've reset the pole. The original pole had about 60% for no, 30% for yes, if anyone is curious.Posted in: Recent Updates and Snapshots
For those unaware, natural health regen in 13w23b now costs hunger and saturation points. Meaning if you take damage, and need to regen health, your hunger bar will go down while that's happening.
This means if you're badly hurt, and you have low saturation, you may need to refill your food bar multiple times to regain all of your health. I'm not quite sure how much saturation natural regen depletes, but hopefully someone will find out soon.
Visual examples:
So in a way, this is similar to pre-1.8 healing where all foods would only give a certain amount of health.
Here I'm at 1.5 hearts..
My health regenerates up to 3 hearts, but stops because my food bar was drained below 9. Keep in mind, I was standing still, so nothing else could have caused my food to drain, other than regen.
In order to keep healing, I would need to eat again. This could be solved by eating a better food, of course.
What do you think? Remember, not much is known about how this new system actually works.
EDIT: You guys have to remember something: This is all based off saturation value, it's not a fixed value every time. The amount of health you heal before your hunger drains is based off how good the food is you eat. If you're eating melons like I showed in the example, you're not going to heal much. Eating something like steak- which has a lot more saturation and is generally better- will cause you to heal more.
Infact, after testing, a single piece of steak will still keep your hunger filled longer enough to regen 100%
I was at one heart:
After eating 1 steak:
Obviously, steak is much better than Melon, like it's always been. This is not as bad as you guys think. Only if you're eating a terrible food.
Here's a list of (Approximately) how much health each food will restore before the bar drains (Keep in mind of human error.):
Golden Apple: 13 hearts (The saturation value on Golden Apples has been changed recently, it may be different now)
Steak/Cooked Porkchop: 11 hearts
Baked Potato and Cooked Chicken: 7.5 hearts
Bread: 6 hearts
Carrot: 5.5 hearts
Melon: 5 hearts (I know the picture shows about 3.5 hearts, but I wasn't at full food when I regened. Not a good demonstration)
There are a few more foods, but those are the ones people generally use the most.
Prediction: After this goes live, people will complain about it for about 2 weeks, and forget is ever happened, just like every balanced change that's happened in the past 2 years. -

"It sucks because it is not the same anymore"
Minecraft fanbase in a nutshell
26
1: Is it a bug?
Check to see if it is a bug. If it is a bug, report it on "The official bug reporting thread" on the top of this section if you believe it has not been reported yet instead of making a rant thread.
2: Did you just hear about it?
If it is a new feature you just heard about, take to time look over it instead of "This looks horrible! I must complain about it!" the moment you see it. You may find that you actually like it.
3: Are you just neutral to the new feature?
MANY forumers do not know the concept of "Neutrality" and tend to think if they don't like it, they dislike it. You don't HAVE to have ANY opinion on features at all.
4: Is it REALLY a bad feature?
People do not know the difference between a bad feature and they just don't like it. Example: I don't like creepers AT ALL, but I do not think it is a bad feature.
5: Is there already a post about it?
Now, this is the biggest thing on this list of whether or not to post a rant thread. Use the search function to see if there is already a rant thread about the feature. If there is already one, just add on to that by posting your opinion there instead of creating a new one! There was a feature (Witches I think) were so many rant threads were posted that they began locking them. And most of them did not even get past one page of replies.
Now on how you should construct your rant thread.
1: Is it optional?
You can actually post a rant thread ether way, but this does influence how you make your rant thread. Don't act like something completely optional is going to affect everyone in every way. However, an optional feature does not mean its not a bad feature.
2: Don't attempt to threaten Mojang by quitting.
Unless you pirated the game, chances are you already paid for the game, and since there is no "monthly fees" and whatnot, you quitting Minecraft is no going to affect them in any way. Sure they care about the community, but not you more among thousands.
3: Don't act self centered.
You are not the most important person in the world nor are you the only one in the world with opinions. Like I said above, "Sure they care about the community, but not you more among thousands."
4: Everyone has different opinions/Don't consider your opinions fact.
Not EVERY body is going to side with you, and chances are more people are going to side AGAINST you, so don't act like everybody in the world has the exact same opinion that the feature your ranting about is bad.
5: Use good spelling and grammar, or at LEAST auto-correct.
Almost no one is going to take you seriously if you type like you don't know the English language. Example: thes tings suk an r gay
6: Go into detail in your thread.
List reasons why the feature is bad and should be removed and don't just put, "This is a bad feature".
7: Respect others that reply.
Regardless of whether they agree with you or not, there reasons, how they play the game, etc, you should treat them with respect. This the most IMPORTANT thing to remember when making or replying to rant threads (Actually anywhere on any topic) and, admittedly, the hardest rule to remember.
I know I am probably not going to eliminate all future unneeded rant threads, but I hope that at least SOME people will have the decency after reading this thread to not make another annoying and unnecessary rant thread.

That isn't auto correct, it is my common mistake of confusing on how to spell words. I'll go fix that now.
*Rages about new features and quits Minecraft*
*Gets back on the next day*
Pretty much what happens when people rage.

Every Minecraft update sucks! I hate optional things! If I whine and rant, maybe they will remove all their hard work! I am fully possible to downgrade to an update that I like but I decide to just tell everyone my opinion that Minecraft sucks!

Mojang put in a well balanced way for anvils that is not OP at all.
I just made this to show how much people can oppose suggestions with any reason and it still is possible to be added. Mojang ALWAYS fines a well balanced way to add things, and they could add almost anything.
