So, it's not Hell.
It's the Nether. No matter what people try calling it.
If I call a cat a dog, that cat doesn't become a dog.
Unless you believed it was a dog, in which case it most certainly would be a dog.
Sure, I like rivers of blood. I've been playing minecraft sense we only had a few blocks... I never thought we would be having arguments over whether features are child friendly or not lol. You'll be putting minecraft in the same boat as Runescape, they claimed the game was for those of thirteen years of age or above, yet they directed the features and limitations towards a group of declining age, making those who played more and more annoyed. They nerfed everything so much and implemented so much censorship that casual conversation became difficult.
It's said that a child witnesses thousands of deaths before he becomes 18, largely based on the fact that such images have become widely available and excepted. To be honest, I don't see a problem with that. The idea that people are made into monsters by being exposed simulated violence is ridiculous, if you're going to go on a murderous rampage there was something wrong with you in the first place. If minecraft has rivers of blood, or- well, sense we're playing minecraft, semi-transparent water in shades of red, what affect does it have on a child? Is it too scary or something? I was freaked out when the ground started yelling at me, replicating what I can only imagine is morphed cries of damned souls. Hurr hurr- I didn't cry about it, I wouldn't have been very bothered as a child either. If I was scared I would have simply avoided the area- it does take effort to get there, and you're certainly not forced to stay.
Anyway, minecraft is not ABC family or w/e. It's not an educational game, and if you want your child to be completely safe I strongly recommended you invest in these instead. If your so anal and worried that your child is going to be turned into a murderer or traumatized by the minecraft blocks then don't let them play it, you don't try and sue cartoon network for showing Family Guy a bit too early at night.
Kids play this game..... No rivers of blood please.
Wow....do you have any idea what kids are exposed to today?
Do you know what they show on iCarly, one of the most popular kids shows today? Breasts and sex. They're a recurring theme. Kids disobeying people, making out, having sex, that show has it all (or has references to it).
Do you think 5 year olds will play this game? Do you think little kids have the patience to play this game? This isn't lego. Lego gives the resources to the kids in the beginning. In this you have to work for the resources. No kids have the patience for this. I doubt anyone below 13-14 plays this game, don't fool yourself.
Kids these days (And I am/was one. I'm 16) are exposed to so much gore and blood that 8 bit blood would to NOTHING to them. These are the same kids that play Halo, COD and GOW, and play games that involve blood. This is the 2010s, not the 1960s. Kids aren't as 'innocent' now.
This is a great idea. The nether is basically hell and pools of blood would make it creepier and interesting.
WHAT.
They make bra/boob jokes. I recall one make out scene. NO SEX. LIKE, AT ALL. THAT WOULD NEVER FLY ON ANY KIDS NETWORK.

I read this entire thread and still see no problem with blood. It's just red liquid that comes out of our bodies. Like **** or spit, but apparently blood is against the law for kids to see.

You entirely deviated from the only point his post was trying to make... which was that, because there is NO hell in Minecraft, there is no reason to add rivers of blood, which are supposedly featured primarily in hell.
Yeah...Agonized Screams and the eternal pain that the tears of ghasts make, are nothing, but a blood river is the worst thing and will not fit in Minecraft?
Please.

Mod edit: Warn issued for trolling.
So I guess mods on this forum don't understand sarcasm then?
There's no blood in Minecraft simply because it's an aesthetic choice. It's not something that Notch is doing because he doesn't want to "harm" any children. (I don't think it's even possible to harm children by putting a little bit of blood in your game. Most kids these days will have played Call of Duty or Mortal Kombat by the time they're 5, anyways.)
From a serious POV, I don't see how rivers of water, plasma, and blood cells would fit into an alternate realm, filled with compressed rocks with red moss that apparently has an infinite amount of energy, lava oceans, and where the only living things are pigmen and ghasts. Where did the blood come from? Why is the blood there? Sure it would add to the atmosphere of the place, but it seems so incredibly random, and unnecessary.
Where would a pool of red water, as far as game mechanics stand, would be scary or creepy?
And has already been said, it is the Nether as stated by word of God (Lolirony), not Hell, therefore comparisons to what Hell has that the Nether does not are moot points.
the weapon is a good idea, but if you want passive regeneration, put it on peaceful.
Also, call it lifewater or something at it's resolved. Maybe it could rarely be found in the real world opposed to the nether? And standing in it would heal you? Nyeh.
Just gonna voice my opinion on this...
I would very much prefer that this doesn't get added.
I'm not among the "Think of the children" group or anything, I just think that a river of blood is lame, and wouldn't add anything to my experience.

Things that make mind craft not child friendly
1.Green exploding 4 legged penises
2.A hell like world
3.Creepy noises made by monsters
4.Random screams outta nowhere in the nether
5.Dried up blood made to look like blocks that slow you down
6.Finally all these reasons above

Gotta love those moments!
I think he is right and you're not, the fact that some call it hell does not mean it is Hell, the nether is the nether, it's only similar to hell
Notch doesn't want blood in Minecraft. He says scary without blood is more fun
/thread
Minecraft dwells on fear of the unknown:
Creepers
Where would a pool of red water, as far as game mechanics stand, would be scary or creepy?Pitch-black caves
Ambient noises
Ghast screams
