This is disgusting, I was about to download some old mods for beta 1.7.3 but now they're officially lost media. Dead, non existent. GG.

Can you make a b1.7.3 mod that extends the day cycle?

Can you make the days longer?

Make Minecraft break again

Did I say that? No, I just said baby zombies are a bit too overpowered.

I struggle to think how such a simple and easy to kill mob gives people trouble, might as well make creepers not explode and skeletons unable to shoot arrows, let's also make it so every creature in minecraft dies in 1 hit just to make sure nothing remotely interesting happens in the game ; )

You think too big for Mojang, I see them addin 1 new sea block after 8 months of development and a brain dead mob.

Not sure if your problem is with them being difficult or just them being annoying.

Yes I feel that way, Mojang has made it clear that they are afraid of making big changes so most of the time the new features are not only very few in quantity but they also lack depth which makes me wonder why this uninspired 5 min of entertainment content takes so long to make. In my mind people at Mojang are probably spending months upon months not actually developing new things but shooting down ideas because they have the idea that Minecraft should remain a "simple" blocks game forever.

We have a game with updates that cater to everyone, it trully has the potential to have each of its features fully realized with a lot of depth in them, that's why specific updates exist, updates for builders, survival and so on. However since each update has so few things going for it, It quickly becomes boring.

I'd rather have teams of people working on each part of the game and release creative updates that actually make the world feel alive and fun, but that's a pipe dream. Another pipe dream is me wishing that Minecraft bedrock or whatever it's called now finally catches up to the Java version, releases some kind of modding API and Microsoft start adding their own unique content instead of playing catch up to the slow Mojang progress.

Or maybe add them as a hardcore mob? Sense hardcore is way to easy.

Or just add them as a neutral mob and by changing the difficulties it will become a hostile mob. But it's not going to be added anyway so who cares.

For me it's still not a lot of features and most of the features that are there are not that interesting.

I used to feel like Notch wasn't good at optimizing his game and I was actually optimistic when Microsoft bought Minecraft, I thought that with all the resources and experience Microsoft can provide the game itself would start seeing big updates with more polish and creativity put into them.

However all I have seen so far is boring features, long development times with very little of substance to show and even though I thought things would be of much higher quality after Microsoft bought Mojang, most of the content is still under developed and lacking. With all the resources at their hands I just can't take the lack of man power seriously, Jeb himself said he was afraid of actually adding a lot of things to the game because in his mind Minecraft should be a simple blocks building game or whatever and so instead of providing a feature with a lot of depth to it they spend months upon months only to give a half baked mob or a block with a different texture on it.

Notch may not have been the best programmer in the world but at least he had imagination and scope, new dimentions giant updates, weird creatures and biomes, I didn't agree with all of the changes but at least there were actual changes and not just months of "development" in we get a few useless features that I can't even muster the interest for to at least have a negative or positive opinion on them.

Also I'm not sure what happened to that modding API but from what I see mods are still scattered all over different versions of the game and some authors out right stopped development because they were tired of dealing with massive internal changes of the game code forcing them to rewrite their mods.

Mojang doesn't have an obligation to make updates but since they are already making them the updates themselves could at least have some semblance of creativity in them.

It's definitely stupid, however Minecraft can still have a dangerous sea mob, it just doesn't have to be a shark, it can be something alien looking and weird, however this is Mojang we are talking about, creativity is not something they're good at anymore.

Also Mojang doesn't seem to like actually adding a lot of content, this isn't Terraria where after an update you can replay the game and have a totally brand new experience, at most I see them adding a few blocks and a useless/rare creature that is copy pasted from real life (Lamas, Polar bears) and it would probably happen after a year or two of "development".

There was already a chance for them to add 4 creatures, one of which would have made the seas much more dangerous (just like sharks would) but instead they made the community choose only 1 creature because Mojang can't be bothered to add content into their game, and so you have the New mob B that from the sounds of it won't be seen all that much.

Jesus christ, not only did you make the text bold but you also wrote in caps.

I'm still waiting for varied terrain and more unique mobs. Now that they are with Microsoft you would think that they would have teams working on the Nether and The End dimensions in order to bring more content to them and make them less barren but no, Mojang still has like 5 people working on the game and they are deliberately holding back features because they are afraid Minecraft won't be a simple block building game or something.

They also seem to ignore the community a lot and just add random stuff that take half a year to be made and is released unfinished only to be forgotten by the community.

I miss when people shared seeds that gave us beautiful terrain instead of just convenient seeds that have rare stuff close together.
