Okay I see what you are getting at. Rather interesting and unique. I support the idea. I don't recall seeing such a concept in any games I played before.

How would it work with say servers? The idea is interesting.

would the climate affect all biomes similarily. Spring in all biomes, summer, winter? Ice biomes - if there was a pole in minecraft which there isn't could be day light for several days or night for several days - which could have interesting ramifications on how mobs react.

interesting idea anyway to say the least. difficult to implement if you get detailed enough.

I support the idea as well. I really like the concept of slime caves.

What biomes would they be found in - suggest through research

If you are familiar moh's mineral hardness scale, you will find diamond is the hardest mineral which is why it can break stuff like obsidian which is technically a glass (volcanic glass) Diamond is typically made into tools, I have a few files that are diamond dusted.

Diamonds are rated 10 on the scale

Sapphires and rubies are rated 9, so could not break any and everything. I'd be inclined to not use them as tools unless, the ruby's sake, there was need for lasers - in which case you got a perfect candidate. Or even clocks and watches.

Ruby and Sapphire are both Corundum which is only named differently by the colour is is. Emerald is beryl. Emeralds are found in Extreme hills, what biomes could rubies and sapphires be found in?

Emeralds are, for interest sake rated 7.5 to 8 on the scale.

I honestly do not see much use for emeralds and rubies or other gems for being made into armour to a degree I can see diamond - maybe but realistically not even diamond as armour.

SO basically, what levels are we looking at. Diamonds are found deep in earth usually because pressures at that level is what creates them. So I think what the others want is more detailed reasoning as to why this is a good idea not just that it's a good idea - if it is.

BUG REPORT!
So in the bug fixes area of this snapshot, they said that they fixed stairs not facing the right way... WELL, they do... EXCEPT IN YOUR INVENTORY, they're backwards, so if you guys could fix that, that'd be great. It kind of messes with my OCD (just a bit) and drives me nuts, but ya, backwards facing stairs in inventory.... main problem

I thought the stairs looked odd in inventory.

Played around a bit. The new mob is interesting, but I still would like to see ambient fish, plants/corals and even birds for oceans and land. They don't have to do anything special. I am hoping the mod API comes through and I can get mo'creatures and whatnot added on a permanent basis - or so I hope.

The dungeon idea is nice, but I was hoping, and I speak only for myself and my spouse, that these things might occupy bodies of water at random, like squid and not just around a specific structure.

Those are my thoughts. Just gonna enjoy seeing what I can build with the new blocks

edit: what the pit is that creepy ghost thing?

we need deep sea plants. gonna keep looking for a dungeon

edit on a side note I found my first mega taiga

its a brilliant theory

What crawled up his butt and made a nest?

I was kinda wondering that myself.

I wish there was more discussion on world borders. I would like to explore this possibility

damn it, how do I remove upvotes? upvoted this clown on accident...

I will just upvote you instead

ah man, I was hoping to find a download of it.

I am waiting for the world generation to take place. thing is having a fit.

I mean has it frozen or is it actually generating th e world?

draining the ocean is interesting. Lava oceans seem to cause it to have 40 fits

that is drool worthy... I hope to see this in for more customisable terrain types.

The stone blocks are a part of 1.8, not 1.7.6... Almost nothing from the new snapshots is in 1.7.6.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I was rather confused.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong at the moment. But the 1.7.6 I am apparently trying ot use does not have any of the new stone blocks... also when I do current release, my minecraft does 14 11 - What am I doing wrong? this has never happened. I have experimental on.
