    The only time I messed with redstone was using a TNT cannon on a PVP server. Even that was too much for me.

    To Falcrist,

    If you don't know what's inside a book, you don't get to make judgments about its contents. Either read the last 20 pages or so, or shut up.

    I already read the OP and most of the discussion after that a while ago, so I'm assuming your goals haven't changed.
    As to the book analogy, what if I read a review?
    To Slimy,

    Quote from SomethingSlimy

    If you haven't even read this thread, what indication do you have that we haven't specified any improvements?

    No no, I did read the thread; I just haven't been keeping tabs on it for a while.

    Welcome to the thread of people who disagree, what are you trying to accomplish again?

    I just wanted to show some people the pointlessness of this argument. Granted, I can't bring EVERYBODY out of it, thinking that would be naive. It's frankly embarrassing to have one of the biggest threads on the forum be about something as ignorable as terrain. (Especially with the 1.7 changes.)


    Good suggestions usually don't *lose support until they are implemented. Why? Because they are good suggestions.

    If you look in the suggestions forum, you will occasionally see a really good suggestion. Chances are it will never be implemented. It is somewhat sad, but there are just too many suggestions that people have to look through and consider implementing good ones. If you were to say, publicize your case in some grand fashion, then you'd have a better chance. (Making a thread is minimally impactful.)

    I don't see how we're being annoying, you're the one who chose to click on this thread. Are we leaking onto the rest of the forums? Does the idea that people think Minecraft needs a better terrain generator agitate you?

    You have entered this thread rudely telling us to disband before the goal of this thread has been reached. That's annoying.

    The reason you're annoying is because after two years that this thread has been hanging around you still haven't let the issue go. 1.7 will most likely put any more thought of terrain improvement out of the Devs minds for a indefinite period of time, making your wait even longer. Since there's minimal chance that you will ever get exactly what you what, this cycle could continue (potentially) forever. (the being, you complain -> Devs hear some of the complaints and make some terrain changes -> they put it aside for a while to work on other things -> you're still not happy -> you complain)

    This whole thread is easier to ignore than the lack of beaches... yet here you are. Almost every person who actively supports this thread disagrees that beaches are "a small, ignorable issue". What's your plan? Are you going to try to convince all of us that we shouldn't care?

    DING DING DING! Give the boy a cigar!

    A word about beaches...

    Among the features is gravel beaches, correct? I am fairly that a basic form of gravel beach has been re-implemented in the snapshot. I agree with you when you say they're not really beaches, the one I saw was just a patch of gravel along a riverside. The reason I make this note is to say that I doubt the Devs will leave it at that, seeing as how gravel beaches have been wanted back since they were taken out. Just a prediction.

    RunnerX has hundreds more posts than either of you two, therefore, by traditional internet forum logic, he is right and you are both wrong. He can be snarky, you can not.

    Uuhh...sure. We'll go with that.
    And earlier I meant to say "I think YOU'RE the one missing implications.
    That "don't" was left behind from an earlier thought I had, so I forgot to backspace it.

    Quote from SomethingSlimy

    If the ideal generator is nowhere near that of the current generator, then that's what we're requesting. It does not make anything in this thread "nitpicking".

    If you haven't seen any "specification" on how the 1.7 terrain generate could be improved in this thread, you ought to look harder.

    Sorry, but hauling myself through unspoilered pages upon pages of rant, rant, and (you guessed it!) rant isn't really my idea of a good time.


    And since you're so keen on definitions.

    nit·pick·ing (ntpkng)
    n.
    Minute, trivial, unnecessary, and unjustified criticism or faultfinding.

    You you honestly consider the beaches Minecraft has now trivial, minute, or unnecessary? They're atrocious. I've never seen a beach I've liked in the current terrain generator. Have you? This is especially dreadful because they looked better in an older version of Minecraft.

    I have, for the sole reason that I DON'T CARE. It is a small, ignorable issue, and most beaches I see are added on to desert biomes so it's barely noticeable.


    And why would we have let it go by now? Have the features we've requested been added yet?

    No, and typically when someone gripes they keep doing it until they get their way. Annoyingly so. The annoying part is what differentiates griping from being persistent.

    Quote from Falcrist

    That's ok, since we haven't given exact specifications. We've given a *relatively short list of things that we'd like changed or added.

    Short list? The ideal generation according to you people is nowhere near that of the current generator. I suppose "nitpicking" would be a better term for what you're doing, rather than giving specifications.


    Requesting features ≠ griping

    True, requesting features =/= griping. But this isn't a thread about "requesting features". You're griping. If it was a thread about requesting features, you would have let it go by now. A "request" is one a done. A gripe stays until it is either alleviated or rejected.


    Also,
    how dare you defile the visage of Inigo Montoya by putting it in a dispute as pointless as this...
    (I said "gripe" exactly once. I don't think YOU'RE the one missing implications here.)

    Quote from Wedhro

    Everybody's freaking out because they added 4 new (boring) biomes and a bunch of special version of old biomes, plus the laziest climate system I've ever seen and no more oceans. I played mods that do much more than that and still it doesn't help with the main reason why this thread exist: variety. It's more of the same: cookie-cutter biomes, no transitions, no gameplay differences, no unpredictability, every worlds looks like you just spawn in a different point on the same world. Even the seed hunting trend is the same: "hey, I spawned in a Mega Taiga/Roofed Forest/Savanna/whatever". Meh.

    This is the last time they'll touch the world generator. What they did is very marginal and if you think it's just a beginning you're naive: what we saw is 99% of the "new" generator, and we know it. No more major changes. It's over.

    This thread should realize it failed and just die.


    I played mods that do much more than that


    I played mods

    If a mod has done it, it nearly guarantees that it will never be something implemented into vanilla. (Granted there are some exceptions, i.e. pistons and horses.)
    There is pretty much no possibility that Mojang will adhere to your exact specifications no matter how much you gripe, oh I'm sorry, critique, the world generation.
    1.7 will be making significant changes. Take that and leave.


    This thread should realize it failed and just die.

    My sentiments precisely.

    You did fine, I think the information was just rather lacking when resource packs first came out, I had the syntax completely wrong and so did Dinnerbone's converter. (Mojang pls.)

    Oh, and we broke 4500.

    4500?!
    That's half of 9000!!!!
