But anyway, this is something that has somewhat-slightly annoyed me about Minecraft; people always assume that Minecraft is set before human civilizations because there are no big cities or electronics. If you were stranded in the middle of the wilderness, would you expect to find cities, or be able to make complex circuitry (beyond redstone)? Yeah, this was going to be a rant. Too lazy.

I would expect to find advanced civilization at some point, and be able to scientifically (that's spelled wrong, I know..) advance, to be able to create more advanced machines, way past redstone, way past what we humans have today.

I believe it's far in the past, but not as far as dinosaurs...

Yeah.
IMO, it's nice to have an aesthetic block.

There are tons of aesthetic blocks.
People are just confused about the whole having to mine for this one.

I tried doing that, but I can't find the minecraft program when I browse for it.

Apparently, the "virus" is coming from a tracking pixel Mojang put in a few days ago.

Survey: 1.6 should be The _____ Update.

I say combat! The combat in this game is too repetitive. We need thrusting and parrying, spears and boomerangs, and shields and quivers! Bust open the armory and unleash your true potential on the dangers of the night!

...Plus, it'd be awesome in PvP arenas.

It seems to be an image linked to in the launcher. Also, remember that antivirus is not always right.

Nope.

If I could remove jungles, snow biomes, and all water biomes (lake, river, ocean, etc.) I'd stick to worlds more often.

What's wrong with snow biomes and water biomes (ocean ones I can understand, although I do feel that they offer something that you would notice if they were removed)?
