Jungles are awesome because it's impossible to run out of wood, because underground homes have even better natural protection, because there is always water nearby, because food is plentiful, because they're pretty, because ocelots, and because, in general, there are just more resources available to the player in a jungle than there are in other biomes.
actually i would say it's worse to mine wood from a jungle since its so high up and hard to get to
There really isn't any reason to rant about them.
If you hate them, don't go near them. If you spawn in them, just start a new world.
that's my point, if you spawn in one 1/2 times in creating a world, and if you do manage to not spawn in one then there is DEFINITELY going to be one nearby or atleast somewhere where they're HARD to stay away from. too common, i remember bitching about swamps when they came out for the exact same reason, now its more rare to find a swamp and they're actually pretty nice
mojang needs to not favor one biome over the other at any given time, they obviously did something with the coding to make jungles the dominant biome as they did with swamps in 1.8, it needs a drastic change.
but with the help of dinnerbone probably the best person to ever develop on minecraft i'm sure we have a brighter future with this game.
eh i got lost in these replys and don't feel the effort to read them all maybe i will later~
the best point of what i did read was kosen, i like what he said about most mc additions
and i think everyone can agree that the grass color in jungles is lovely and its worth it to put alot of work into a jungle to make it into a pineforest, it's my next project i think so.
basically it starts you on a mountian biome, which is also an island shaped like a dolphin, the dolphin's eye? lava lake right by spawn
also the world has a really nice jungle island that is also a huge mountian and some small continents nearby
it's basically island survival i would call it
it's not really a GREAT seed but it's interesting and worth sharing
and i actually like the one block ones that cover the ground
first poster made some good points while other bad points, i think that jungles are overused and way more popular than they should be not because people like them but because they're new, it's not an opinion its more of a statistic.
and for "negative" i mean the people who just post something saying "baww" or expressing that i'm simply "crying about it"
when i'm really just making a point and hoping for the word to be gotten out, any INTELLIGENT discussion against my views is just as welcome as the ones agreeing.
I am honestly surprised people read and respond to the long paragraphs I write here, so I figured I should bring up the next thing to ***** about:
Jungles
everyone is still posting seeds "HUGE JUNGLE BEST SEED 1.3.2"
you could go there right now and 60% of the seeds there are featuring the jungle biome
the only special thing about them is that they are new, other than that they are impractical and in my opinion the worst of the biomes, mainly cause my computer is a piece of **** and jungles make my framerate steadily drop and its too dense to be able to get creative even after chopping down all trees
but the reason they are impractical is the only thing you can really do is build a treehouse, the terrain is very rough and the lag doesn't help, you can't really establish a good base in a jungle because it's so dense and its just easy to get lost regardless of the map you can't really get as familiar with a jungle
as you could with any other biome
they are impractical for almost any building like if you want a nice home made of stone bricks and are a "looks only" biome in my opinion
I'm honestly tired of going to a "top 5 minecraft seeds" video and 4/5 of them are jungles and a desert village
the jungles are not very useful and not practical and i can see where someone would like a jungle, but everyone does because everyone does and they're new, not cause it's a good biome and it pisses me off.
one thing i like to do with jungles is chop down every tree or mc edit them out then plant pine trees, it makes a really nice looking biome and i call it an "evergreen" the only reason why I would think I made that word is the lovely green grass and the nice pine trees all around, but yeah just dumb words I make up in my head etc.
one thing i do love about jungles is that beautiful grass color they chose, every other grass color other than snow biomes is ugly and dull and personally i think terrain generation needs a whole overhaul again cause the current system doesn't work atleast for me, it is too patchy
you go to one patch that is a desert and another patch that is a swamp and another patch that is planes
if i have any suggestion to mojang it's that they make jungles much more rare and most likely to have a dungeon in them when they do spawn, that would make them alot cooler and worth posting a seed, but now every other ****ing world you create its a jungle so i really don't see ANY point in ANY of the jungle seeds posted here right now other than like ones with a temple or terrain glitch etc.
negative feedback to this will not be given a **** about or replied to and positive is open for discussion~ and for "negative" i mean the ****ing faggots who just post something saying "baww" or expressing that i'm simply "crying about it" when i'm really just making a point and hoping for the word to be gotten out, any INTELLIGENT discussion against my views is just as welcome as the ones agreeing.
i'm thinking primarily in world painter, how you can change the biomes, i want to make a big ass village in a circle shape surrounded by a taiga, but i still want the normal world generation etc of minecraft 1.3, how can i do this?
i basically want forest/village/whatever else in a special shape
First of all, it wasn't "they", it was "he". Dinnerbone was the only one who coded for the snapshot. Secondly, how do you how much they get paid? And furthermore, if you think working on the lightning is pointless, have fun building with stairs and slabs. It will look horrible, trust me.
well it's probably not 50 dollars a day I can tell you thatmuch
and umm they get gamer friday and all kinds of little vacations of that sort
they don't work hard.
maybe the lighting will be useful to work on if he can add colored lighting, I saw a mod that added red glow to the area around lava so it definitely can be done

you gotta make a cow farm for leather and that encourages doing more in minecraft
on the other hand it could be a chore to have to get the leather
maybe something else should be added to books like string, not leather.

actually i would say it's worse to mine wood from a jungle since its so high up and hard to get to
birch/oak trees would be the most efficient
also that's a really good idea
