Regarding dropping f-bombs at the show - we apologise for this, but had rehearsed the whole show in front of the organisers and half of Mojang and they had approved it. We were given no guidelines or oversight in the weeks leading up to Minecon and there were ample opportunities at the rehearsal for Mojang to inform us of problems, such as being careful about swearing, which is pretty common in our youtube videos.
It's a child-friendly event that will obviously draw large numbers of young kids. Why the hell would you assume, unless explicitly told otherwise, that it's fine to swear in this context? Swearing and being unruly in public can get you fined by the police. (At least it can here in Melbourne, Australia.) You don't need to put a sign up for it to obviously be the wrong thing to do or even just against the rules/ law.
With some younger kids around, it was our priority to make sure everything was safe, as we have seen injuries in the past.
So presumably you were too busy protecting children from falling rubble to worry about the small stuff?
We were also unhappy and surprised that a week before Minecon, Mojang informed us that they had sold the rights to livestream our show and content to IGN – they hadn’t asked us, they hadn’t spoken to us – they just sold it... Hannah actually spoke with IGN directly earlier, and they agreed to take their video down and let us put the videos up on our channel, so a big thanks to them for that.
That's a completely valid complaint. But it's a little weird that IGN would just concede rights that they had bought and paid for.
We were not paid, and never demanded to be paid. We asked for some support, and Mojang said they could offer us two hotel rooms for the duration of the stay and a small boardroom to rest in. We spent a huge amount of money on flights, rooms, food and equipment for the 10 people that we brought along to support us, act as security, make videos/posts and generally help out. We also gave away 100 special t-shirts for free... we decided to eat the costs of attending and just have fun.
The funny thing here is that you're implying Mojang should have paid for more than the two hotel rooms and small boardroom to rest in, and that you shouldn't have had to pay for things like flights, rooms, food, equipment, or 10 people to come along and support you. Which is very, very close to what Notch complained about ("demanded that we pay them"; "acted like total spoilt divas".)

Have I just been incredibly unlucky? Or is 1.8 going to cut back on the overall number of biomes? Or is this something that will be fixed before release?

I haven't seen one of these before, so I thought I'd share. Seed is "Okkervil River", and the location is
