Maybe we should just run all new Minecraft content through a great big Humor Sanitizer so that it all comes out as the kind of gray, character-free, corporate sludge that would presumably be more palatable to the humorless drones that seem to infect these forums.
I lol'd so hard at that reply above all others. Baby animals were mentioned from the start, op you had nothing to do with it. If you don't like the game stop playing and go back to your PS3 or Xbox. <__< Games aren't defined by realism and gfx, Have you played "anything" from the 80s or early 90s?
Agreed I don't care what the game looks like so long as it's fun to play, hence why I love SimEarth
Being serious does not equal realism. Not sure where everyone is getting this realism idea.
Gonna play devil's advocate here for a moment.
Minecraft, a serious game for serious people.
Here is a picture accurately depicting how the general populace acts on minecraft.
As such, minecraft should only have serious updates for us serious members.
I'm just toying around with you though about the whole serious thing. It was an inside joke on another forum, a member always treated the off-topic section so seriously, so the admins renamed the section in honour of that member as an attempt to plague that member. However I do actually agree with you, serious and realism are two different things. And it is a matter of opinion just on how serious Minecraft should be, so I'm not going to argue with you about that.
- Have them look like pigmen, like they were supposed to be.
cause you know, having the villagers be human sized pigs that walk on two feet wouldn't be silly in the slightest.... That aside I do agree with you that the villagers do look stupid. As for the snow golem i don't really care, they're occasionally fun to use but you don't have to use them. It's not like they even natrualy spawn, its something you can make if you feel like doing so.
I do think the snow golem is pointless, you craft it, and then what? Yes, there are some things you could do, like alarm systems, etc. But otherwise their just pointless. They look utterly stupid, a snowman with a pumpkin for a head, when I heard that they were going to be a snow golem and not a snow man, I thought that they were going to look like it too; the only aspect of a snow golem they have is their name.
I think that your snow golem solutions would be great, I would love to have them as decorations, I think it would be nice to have them actually look like a snow golem and have them spawn in snow biomes. I just don't like them now, their not minecraft-like.
I remember when people complained in WOW that being able to ride your mount in the water "wasn't realistic"
It's like ummm you're playing a game where you can be a zombie that shoots fireballs that can fly on the back of a flying lion..... meanwhile you are slaying dragons.
Like minecraft you are playing a game where a guy in a blue t-shirt can punch through a 3 foot block of solid stone with his BARE hands...... and skeletons shoot arrows at you, and somehow magically dirt and rocks float.
you dont have to buy/play the game...you arent even required to update so why bother bitching about something you did not create...if it bothers you so much then create your own damn game then release it to the public and add things how you see fit so i can ***** about how YOU didnt make YOUR game the way I wanted you to.
The issue is more the fact that, for many people, Minecraft was the game they wanted, and now Notch is changing it away from that. That's even worse than a game not being what you hoped when you first get it. These people got it long ago and have been happy with it until now.
- Have a humorous look that makes you not even take a village seriously or the game for that matter.
I think they're awesome.
So Minecraft isn't SUPER GRIMDARK HURRRRR. Big whoop. Minecraft is not out to please everyone. Notch wants to make the game fun and different, and every time there's an update someone whines about how Minecraft is RUINED FOREVER and NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR HERP DERP
You're talking about a game made out of blocks where you punch trees and green shrub people blow up. Where you go to Hell and there are giant white squids. What did you THINK you were getting into?
You don't like the NPCs? Fine, turn off structure generation in the world creator.
You don't like snow golems? Don't make one.
You don't like potions? DON'T USE THEM.
This is a sandbox, you do whatever the **** you want. If there's something you don't like, DON'T USE IT.
It's like the Disaster button in Sim City. It's always hovering there if you want it, but most people won't ever use it. It's just a friendly reminder that if you really want to, there is the option to rain destruction on the thing you've worked so hard to build. That doesn't mean the game is RUINED FOREVER.

I honestly can't see how anyone can complain about a game that is updated/developed more than any other game I've played in my entire life. The fact that Minecraft is literally Notch's baby is enough to get my attention. You bought a game in it's alpha/beta stage and didn't expect it to change? Are you ****ing high? Minecraft started as a joke. It's a world made out of cubes. It's going to continue being a joke. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Don't blame the comedian if you don't get the punchline.
Minecraft has a theme or genre which is fantasy. Fantasy is immagination and pretty much whatever you like.
You shouldn't judge something that you don't understand.

I think there is a little too much humor going to be present in minecraft when 1.9 comes out. I don't believe Notch is taking it seriously what-so-ever and it's just going to kill my experience in minecraft, a game which had much potential and respect. Instead of convincing people to buy the game now, I'm telling them to wait because I don't feel Notch is at the right state of mind at the moment. Humor is appreciated but not so much as in to ruining the general quality of the game.
Jokes in Patch 1.9
Snow Golem
- Renamed to escalate the joke.
- Made only because he was "frustrated".
- Could of been working on another mob, like a baby animal.
- Doesn't fit the theme of minecraft at all.
NPCs
- Look graphically bad when compared to the rest of minecraft.
- Have a humorous look that makes you not even take a village seriously or the game for that matter.
- Jeb stated that they are not planning on changing their look anytime soon.
Animal Breeding
- All animals will come from eggs because Notch thinks it's funny.
- Somehow I believe this isn't a joke because we all thought the snowman was and look what happened.
- Notch is most likely doing this because he's too lazy to introduce baby animals, which is a big disappointment.
- Baby animals will be widely suitable for all age groups unlike an egg which would only be a placeholder for wasted time. Notch has confirmed that there will be baby animals.

Possible Solutions
Each point is a different solution.
Snow Golem
- Make it a snowman and keep it as a decoration.
- Have it only be available during the holidays.
- Make it look like an actual snow golem which will spawn naturally rather than being crafted.
NPCs
- Make them look like a regular villager.
- Have them look like pigmen, like they were supposed to be.
Animal Breeding
- Do not make all animals hatch from eggs.
- All animals except chickens, should spawn babies.
Reminder
I actually like animal breeding and NPCs. Those general ideas are great, however the way Notch is going to handle them differently than I expected. In addition, I like minecraft and I'm not planning on leaving. Believe it or not, this is called feedback. So if you're concerned about people voicing their opinion, then you should make your way out of the forums.
Nothing is wrong with snow golems and npcs
minecraft has always been a bit silly
and besides its only in alfa
ALSO YOU DONT NEED TO SEE THEM IF YOU DONT WANT TO!!!!!
if you dislike it never make a snowman and turn npc villages off
Personaly i think these are some of the best added things
Yes a game where you destroy blocks to get blocks to make stuff is very very serious.
Snow Golems, yes they look child like but what ever they have their uses, keep stuff from stabbing you in the back and making easy to gather snow quickly.
I haven't heard anything about them coming from eggs please give source, I can see the eggs thing, is it realistic no, but they have to protect the mind of the little kiddies that do play it.
I don't know how many people have to say this, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE A UPDATE, THEN DO NOT UPDATE. It's not like someone is holding a gun to your head and telling you to update.
Found the source about breeding he said MAYBE.
-Block, sun+moon
-Animals cartoonish zombies+skeletons

-The sun rising in the north.
You need to stop complaining.... Minecraft is a alien world...

Pretty funny watching them shooting snow ballz at creeper
Agreed I don't care what the game looks like so long as it's fun to play, hence why I love SimEarth
Oh, the irony.
