So far all I've seen is borging a bunch of mod features into baseline. I see Twilight Forest features, MoCreature, Wedge, and BOP\EBXL\Highlands getting cherry picked by a lazy dev. What really es me off is no credit to the mod developers mentioned.

It's sickening and shameful.

What's sickening and shameful are people that do not read the EULA and Terms of Use for a piece of software and then decide they have the moral authority to crap all over the document that they agree to. You don't have the right to complain about a thing. If you learned how to read, you would know that everyone agreed to have their creative ideas incorporated into the game by signing up. Even you.

What would be awful is if Mojang did not include that literature, and outright stole creative ideas, with people developing under the idea that their contributions would be legitimate sources of income, protected intellectual concepts that belong only to them, and coming with the ability to file infringement suits.

On the bright side, the current system does not have to bother with coordinating all content creators into a failed democracy of content scheduling and collaboration. So deal with it you literally legally challenged troll.

This happens when I load pictures from windows XP onto my phone's memory card. I wonder if they were related in some weird, filesystem way. Now I have thousands of pictures, all claiming to be from January 1st, 1970.

Also, grumm looks like an enemy from Master Blaster, which is possibly the hardest game ever made.

Why don't maps by unpopular Minecraft players get featured? They deserve as much attention as maps by SethBling or Vechs do.

Because, if you aren't popular, nobody can find you. If you know ten people and someone else knows five million, then you already have your answer.

and to the left we have a ... *drumroll* ... snow-biome! Thank god there are mods...

As a student with three geology classes under my belt, I can safely tell you that Deserts are known for their extreme temperatures. The heat is what people like to notice the most though. Deserts are just as easily covered in snow, though usually just ­ freezing cold and blistering heat, because of their lack of moisture.

Just sayin, it is possible.

After learning about the horses, the previous updates have become logical steps towards that direction. Think about it. Especially the bit where they improved the relationship between minecarts and things that ride in them.

I love the new features being added to Minecraft. The best part about the addition of features though? You don't need to use them if you dislike them. I think Wolves are annoying as hell, so I don't use them often, but, the idea of having tamable attack dogs is an awesome concept. I may not be awesome at redstone, but even I can see that sunlight detectors, weighted plates, and trapped chests offer more ways to perform unique interactions with the game. Horses would be an awesome addition, because its just a pain to travel far between point on the map without either a minecart track, or a portal. What if you don't want to build for a week making tracks, or switch dimensions?
This actually reminds me of something a guy in web design said to me. He explained that ideally, the user should have about three ways to do any one thing. Now I'm off-topic. I'm done, that thoughts over, lol.

No worries! I don't think many of us will see that for a long time. Everyone I have see with it is either a huge youtuber or has allot of money and went to minecon.

Yep, sure seems nice and random to me. Look at all of those capes wavin' around on the realms...

Also, does anyone remember that old, first gen MMORPG, "The Realm?" An old clunker like that might jump at the chance to scab some money off the name at some point.

warning: rant

You can, with chest minecarts, and sadly this is how Mojang (according to Dinnerbone via Twitter/Minecon) intends it for the future, as they will not be adding pipe or similar, but will be working on the minecart system a bit and make users rely on that for users to move items upwards.

Exactly, they "will be working on the minecart system. That genreally means shaking out all the bugs and improving existing features. It is a work in progress.

It agitates me that they want users to rely on the railing system for hopper use, especially as the rail system is pretty much buggy and broken, and not really worth it, Powered minecarts are slow, powered rails require large amounts of gold (which I don't like because I spend more time mining near bedrock than y:40), and powered rails don't go that fast.

I feel really uncomfortable arguing with a mod, mostly because this is an issue of personal preference. Maybe I just haven't been 'playing the game right' but, I make extensive use of powered rails in my 100% vanilla survival game. I have castles that connect to farms, and 'transit stations' made of nether portals, and I use tons of powered rails, and detector rails, for that right mix of disappearing doorways and railways that make me say, "wow, that looks awesome when it runs." I don't think I'd get to say that by laying pipes down.

It would be nice if Minecraft were a game where a large majority of players utilized the rail system (especially since the game is MINE craft, and rails are a large part of the mining industry). It would be cool if you could explore and find an area you like, build a base there, a rail to your main base, clear trees, modify the landscape, send all the materials back to your main base (where they would unload and either store or send the cart back), and quickly ride a cart between bases if you wanted to, and do similarly with mining.

This is totally possible! Use Nether portals! I make a twenty minute trek by foot into less than two minutes by using railways that lead to my nether portals. Then, make a base in the nether, and make another portal in the nether for your final destination. Connect those portals in the nether with railtracks, and you have very quick and efficient travel across great distances. You may have to make due with some 'drop off points', collections of chests at the portal points, because the carts won go through the portals, but, it is still fun. As someone in a position of slight power, I wish that you would be more positive about what changes are made to the game.

Although, I doubt they will do much to accomplish this or even make the rail system reliable for the hopper system. And even if they do, it still is inconvenient.What it I want to send blocks from one floor down to another where it gets smelted, and I want it to return to the floor I sent it from? I need to use a minecart to send it up a few blocks? Is that really justified?

Your negativity is really getting me down man. If you want a crazy cool industrialized castle/base/mud fort then you have to make the original blueprints with an eye for the future. Make walls and floors with crawl spaces to add tracks and wires. It takes longer, but for someone like me, who only plays 100% vanilla survival games, it is the only way I can keep using my original creations and upgrade them later in the game. If you left room for sending a minecart up and down behind the walls, it would just be an engineering problem, instead of an aesthetic disaster. I'm just assuming your complaint comes about from a lack of space to implement a useful design, because the only thing holding people back is their ability to create solutions. Or maybe I'm just too positive.

Quote from insomniac_lemon

I hate it when a feature is implemented in a certain way for almost no other reason besides something is useless in the game. It makes sense if there is SOME other reasoning, like how slime balls are used to make sticky pistons, but they only made powered rails out of gold because gold is considered useless by most players (and, ugh, jeb got the idea from a tweet, I was angry about it as soon as I read it). Now they're making the hopper system reliant on the minecart system because many(most?) players find that useless, too.

This is probably the most obivous to me, out of all the other negative things you have said, to be easily untrue by virtue of reality, as opposed to taste. Gold is a very good conducter. Gold is used in many cables, wires, computer parts, etc. and makes perfect sense as being used as a conducter in minecart tracks. Why would I have iron as my conducter when gold is readily available? Diamond won't conduct, and neither will stone. Maybe, by this same logic, smooth stone is obviously used as an insulator when creating redstone repeaters, as opposed to iron or gold. I'm getting off topic now, so I'm ending my counter rant.
To summarize: quit being so negative and start being more creative!

Quote from Serophis

It's not obvious to a common pleb, if you will. It's not unreasonable to demand a warning either when a mere update can break compatibility.

I think it should be as obvious as saying, "why does my car key not work when the lock is changed," or, "why can't I figure out how to put my N64 cartridge into my CD drive."

Quote from paulo27m

Is that bug that reseted the breaking of a block when you picked another block, changed held item or ate something fixed? That's annoying.

I'm under the impression that what you are describing is actually the fix to an exploitable piece of the game mechanics. Now that it has been fixed, people cannot cleverly save on tool durability by switching to a different tool before the block breaks.

Minecraft is my favorite game. That said, I honestly might not be able to resist buying Borderlands 2 because of the inclusion of Minecrafty extras, like the Badass Creeper, and the blocks.

I've never even played the original, or looked at the new one, but its already grabbing my attention now.
