why does everyone think it's bad all of a sudden??

on a related note, (related by badness) i've always thought the 60 second rule was bad.

I've always wanted to burn down a village! and with 1.8, i can!    After 1.8, everyone will where a pumpkin on their head. Also, isn't Notch adding ravines and river?

Not really. If they were spread out it would still become like this. I think 1.8 will be great.

Although the large brown mushroom looks horrible. And they're way too big. I was thinking more 2^3 size. Although it's be hard for them to look good that small. Maybe even just 1 block size. Just the size of the block instead of way bigger. But I guess big mushroom biomes could be cool.

NPC villages will be cool to raid and stuff. I mean, er, to look at and stuff. I don't get what ravines are. Can someone explain?

I'm looking forward to NPC Villages. I'm going to stay inside the boundaries of one to be safe. Free protection! Human shields!

@Ipod: Yeah, and what if they have torches in? You could just take them, ruining the survival theme. Then again, that's your choice so it's not really a problem. I suppose it's stupid of me to think it ruins the game to add things like smelting log, and taking from NPC villages since I'm not going to do it. And they'll be rare so you're unlikely to come across them soon, I suppose.

You can already smelt logs. It makes charcoal.

Um, I know. I was just saying it as a similar example to the torch one.

What does it mean? That you can choose between having them or not?

Well that was helpful.

"User placed leaf blocks won't decay"



I had a good game known as the leaf game going. Each player placed a leaf and the first to decay lost. Plain, but fun. Gonna miss you, leaf game. 

Sorry for all the numbers and stuff- Copy pasted.

Fixes and Changes:
Shift+Click on items will work correctly.[5] Cool.
Labels for items will be added.[6] Aren't there already them? when you highlight an item.
Redstone circuits not working after /time set x glitch going to be fixed in SMP.[7] I couldn't care less, but I guess that's good.
User placed leaf blocks won't decay.[8] :C
Clouds won't go through buildings anymore.[9][10] Nice.
Rain and snow will now render faster.[11]I don't care.
Zombies may drop a new item instead of feathers.[12] O:

Villages will contain an NPC smith, who will own a forge that uses lava.[26] Cool.
Underground Ravines including canyons on the surface and ledges to walk on.[27][28] Awesome!

Deeper Oceans[37] That's cool I guess.
New combat Mechanics[20] O:
Critical hits[38]
Hold-to-charge bows[39]
Player blocking attack animation and hostile mob attack animations, possibly more player animations[40][41] Nice.
New farming options, more interesting farming.[38][42][15] I'm not much of a farmer but that's cool.
This could be the Cocoa Bean tree Jeb was talking about.[20] :D
Plantable pumpkins and melons, each with a central stem that grows to max size and spawns a fruit next to it.[43] OOOOOO:
Animal breeding.[44] ZOMGDSNJNASJKND
New Food System:
Food no longer heals directly but indirectly.[45] I don't get that.

New achievements:
Kill a skeleton with an arrow at 50 meters.[57] Nice.
Possibly Shoot the Moon with an arrow.[58] Erm...
Sprinting: By double pressing the forward button, the player will move faster.[59] Nice.
Sprinting will have a drawback, such as depleting your food bar.[60] Just turn it off if it's optional then.
Hitting a mob while "rushing" (sprinting?) sends them flying.[61] I don't care.
Glass Panes.[62] Sounds terrible.
Possibly Spike blocks, Jeb initially considered Spike Pistons, but then pondered making a Spike block that can be pushed by the Sticky Piston.[63] These sound cool.

I thought the towns were going to be made out of cobblestone?
