It's Survey Time!
You can play Minecraft on a heap of different platforms: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Xbox 360. Phew. But how do you play Minecraft? And, more importantly, what do you think Notch hides under his hat?
Mojang wants your feedback, and now have a survey up! Suggest a new mob, pick your favorite food, and tell Mojang all about how you play Minecraft!
I myself voted for a real fish mob. Hope a bunch more people do too!

I LOVED the survey. I love the idea of a new mob. The more the merrier! I suggested four different mobs for Mojang to consider: rhinos (They would be a hostile mob that, if tamed, you could ride on them and break blocks. They would be very hard to find (maybe only spawning in jungle biomes) and hard to tame, maybe requiring the use of golden carrots or golden apples.), cheetahs (These would be hostile mobs that would require pork or beef to tame. When tamed, these guys could be ridden for very fast travel. Again, these guys would be hard to find. This one I do not think they will really consider because they are really close to a hostile, rideable version of the ocelot, but I suggested it nonetheless), dragons (pretty obvious), and a new mob that I thought up: cloud beasts. These guys would be a neutral mob that spawns rarely at around cloud level and would emit particles (maybe star-shaped) as they flew around. When attacked, these guys could fire lightning or a rainbow-like ray. I think these guys would be a pretty cool balance to the creepy mobs like the wither and wither skeleton. Anyone have input on this?
@mastertygon - I just wanted to say I like the concept of a "pretty/sparkly" hostile mob! "Ooh, sooo pretty -- AAUGH RAINBOW LASER BEAMS!" There really isn't anything at all like that in MineCraft. I don't know how all that business about being in the clouds would work out - most people wouldn't have any business being up that high unless they were building something specific, and then they might just be annoyed by flying mobs.
Personally, because I think this survey is mostly some silliness, I suggested Were-bunnies: cute, cuddly passive bunnies for atmosphere in the day, but at night they transform into ferocious giant Were-bunnies!

Lol, that is actually a cool idea as well. I am not sure what it would take for the drastic transformation to take place (Ie. They may need to make multiple character textures, like a bunny texture, half-transformed bunny, and were-bunny), but they also could also just instantly "poof" into were-bunny form, i suppose. (This would be easier, but a little less realistic) Anyway, even though you said it was a joke, that would be kind of funny: "Oh, a cute little bu--- Oh my god!"
So, what's new in the pre-release?

Probably not.
Ok, Thanks for the info!
1.4.3 is still around but they changed it to 1.4.4 that fixes the bugs in 1.4.3, but keeps the fixes in 1.4.3.
Take your time and get them all!
