Minecraft Updates

Well I thought Why not have a place where we can discuss new updates released on Minecraft, I thought this would be a good thing considering a major update is on it's way and set to be released Oct 31.

Pretty much this is a place to talk about what features you like/dislike in the new updates, Share some info about future updates you may have acquired, also talk about things you would Like to see added to the Minecraft world!

I'll Kick things off I spose,

I have only played on the current version 1.1.2_01 And so far like everything about it!

Things I'd like to see in the next update is uses for the fishing rod, and eggs as well as maybe some more farmable things would be great!

Thats all from me for now.

Less crap-craft and more STALKER! :O

I looked at minecraft... its Sim City 2000.1 in short lol. Graphics came from the 70s

Its nothing like SimCity2000 like at all.... and I personally like the games graphics they give it character.. make it different form other games.

If you want more Stalker I believe I can make that happen I wanted to get back into it and this will give me more reason to do so, I'll speak to Jerms might give it it's own place in the club games and you can do all the Stalking you wish!

Van I am disaspointed.
Judging a game by it's graphics and you haven't even played it yet.
Shame.
Minecraft is an incredible game and sometimes really beautiful to behold; stepping up over a hill to discover a huge display of rolling hills towards the horizon. Stunning stuff.

The music is breathtaking and suits it perfectly.
The controls are easy and the basic character and item controls are simple and fluid.
It's just...so good...

Ive seen 4-5 hours of youtube of it.

No-thanks.

Also, 90% gamers judge a game by its front graphic (just go into EB and watch them lol)

I'm gonna get this back on topic guys

New update, so far so good, I'm liking that fishing rods now have a use and the texture changes are looking good, a few simple things have added so much character to Minecraft.

Here's a few images that show the most noticeable additions that I've seen(so far).

Sun rises/sets



General textures especially grass look nicer.

God. The new updates are awesome. The sunsets are so good.
And hell is genuinely terrifying.

Minecraft has finally hit Beta, so far I haven't notice alot of additions in the beta update but it's still nice to see the game progressing through the stages.

Beta 1/5 is soon to be released, marking half way between alpha and completion of minecraft (Or rather when it lose's Beta)! With 1.5 Snow will fall, Rain will occur (floods?)! And thunderstorms! All these occur in certain biomes. Also notch has noted he plans to add Pistons Mod in a later update (See the video in the link below). Pistons will make moving easier(Just a coupleblocks), Features (Sand Wave!?) and prehaps making harvesting capti/reeds easier.

Thoughts on Weather? and Pistons?

The weather thing sounds cool, I think it'll add to the experience greatly!
