Yeah, I play Minecraft exclusively without mods, so I don't really know how the trading systems in those mods work.

I believe its because of this tool called amidst that shows you a generated world with all the biomes npc villages and stronghold locations. In there its called extreme hills.

Might not be just that one tool, could be others refer to it aswell. Its just that i noticed it from there

Oh god, I just checked it and you're right. If you hit F3 it actually calls the Mountain biomes "extreme hills"

That is the most retarded crap I've ever seen in Minecraft.

Quote from SgtRalph

My base is located on the extreme hills

wat. I don't get why occasionally you'll see somebody refer to the mountains/mountain biome as "extreme hills". That's like referring to an ocean as an "extreme pond" or a ravine as an "extreme ditch"

Yeah making stuff out of wool is stupid. I always imagine big fluffy buildings. I mean sure it might look the colour you want, but IT'S STILL WOOL.

Quote from KyoShinda

Okay, so you're saying if they don't add the language of every tribe in existence, it would be prejudice?

I never said that. YOU said that. Don't make **** up. You suggested that the game should ONLY be available in english, and that is prejudiced. You said that even knowing the developers themselves want their game to be available in non-english languages. Furthermore, Mojang ARE FROM ****ING SWEDEN. English isn't even their first language!

I know they did add a lot of languages but they didn't for a couple of years, so were they prejudice back then?

Again this is beyond retarded. The game wasn't officially released until a few months ago. Judging an incomplete, pre-release game is absurd in the extreme, especially when we already know features were planned well in advance. By your logic an MMO isn't even an MMO until release.

They should just stick to 5 languages, any more would be a problem, any less would be 'nationalism'.

No, they should stick to however many languages they want to put in. Especially since other people are being commissioned to do the work.

Quote from KyoShinda

So you're saying it would be prejudice to account for the most common language and not my own? Why should game developers be wasting time on scriptures?

LET'S MAKE THE WHOLE ****ING GAME IN GALACTIC ALPHABET.

Yes, it is prejudiced when your argument is that games should only be available for speakers of one language, especially when the developers of said games go out of their way to ensure their products get translated.

Regardless, THE ****ING DEVELOPERS THEMSELVES made sure that literally dozens of languages got their own translations. It doesn't matter what YOU think, the developers think it's worthwhile and they aren't going to remove the localisations.

There's no reasonable argument you can make here. Localisation is a standard in the gaming industry, even many modders make translations for their mods - even ROM hackers do it for freaking SNES games.

As far as your galactic alphabet thing goes, it really just makes you look even more stupid to say such a thing sarcastically given Mojang went out of their way to include "Pirate" as a joke language option.

Quote from KyoShinda

In that case, I say they make a tally of which language is the most popular among all the Minecraft users. If it is still Arabic, then they should make that the only MC language then work on gameplay instead of opening a can of worms.

This is stupid. Language localisation has been a standard part of the gaming industry since at least the early 90s. To say that it should only be available in one language just because you have some sort of prejudice when the developers themselves fully support localisation is insane.

To be honest, I love Minecraft and the more people who can play it, the better.

Quote from cadika_orade

Agreed. Mojang does not make these translations, the community does. Mojang is too busy with a little something called "game development". Just an honest question, though: Is there anyplace in the world where they have Internet but cannot speak English? The vast majority of the Internet is in English and Minecraft has been in English since the start. If people have been playing this long without understanding any of the English in the game, I will be very impressed.

Typical ignorance. 8 out of the top 10 countries that contribute the most users to the internet happen to be non-english speaking countries. This includes countries like China, which has more than 450,000,000 internet users, to other countries like India with almost 90 million, France, Russia, Germany, and others.

Actually, more than a third of the entire planet's population access the internet regularly. That you seem to think it is only the english-speaking world that has regular access to the internet really shows how little you know about the world outside of your country, let alone the fact that you think that "the vast majority of the internet is in English", which simply isn't true. ICANN even allows domains that use non-english characters now.

This is stupid. Nobody is forced to get the snapshots. You actually have to go out of your way to get them.

If you don't want to delete your world, just don't get the snapshots. QED.

Pro Tip: If you don't like the snowmen, don't make them.

That's a little too much to ask, don't you think? We should all spend our time bitching about stupid crap and showing off our entitlement issues!! WE PAID 10 BUCKS REMEMBER!!!

*edit: I just have to mention the above post is sarcasm, since a few people thought I was serious. I honestly wish people would quit bitching and crapping on about what they paid, "mojang owes me" ****. You paid for a license, that's all. You're here to beta test. You're not entitled to anything beyond the ability to play.*

i think they should just join steam. then i play more with my friends. i dont see any promblem why they shouldn't

Complaining is not fine.
Constructive criticism is ok on the other hand.
Straight bitching without offering a reasoned alternative suggestion is what immature or hard of thinking folk do and it's not productive.

I dont have lag!
Maybe you just have a crappy computer.

I hate when people act like the developers can press a button and its in the game.. it takes time to work on stuff put code in atleast their putting mod support in sheesh, and cant we all be friends.
Proceed.

"Waaah, my Modcraft broke!"
Guess what? Mojang isn't responsible for Modcraft, it's responsible for MINEcraft.
Remember that game? Well, I do, and I still play it.

Quote from ZeekSta

Good, I'm starting to get sick of snapshots. @Jeb, you need to not release anything until the official release.

You need not install anything until the official release.

What is it with you guys who want to ruin it for everyone else, just because YOU lack the ability to wait for a full release?

The spiders are already damn giant as it is, remember your first thoughts of spiders in Minecraft? Yeah, normal spiders aren't the size of a human being, lol.

This thread is horrible. Why any person would feel like language localization shouldn't exist is literally beyond my comprehension.


You ungrateful assholes are lucky Mojang even made the game in English instead of Swedish. Have fun being ignorant your entire life.

The Arabic Language Really fail , people barely can read it, it is like this
( M i n e c r a f t i s a g a m e a b o u t p l a c i n g b l o c k s t o b u i l d a n y t h i n g y o u c a n i m a g i n e).

I think that when they wanted to make an Arabic Language they just translated With None Arabic Operation system, also the one who tried to is lazy to check about it, In short Word it is Not Professional work.

Please Send my message to those who are responsible about Translating, so they will be aware of the Problem.
