Minecraft has grown to become one of the most played games in the world, but it is not 100% perfect. Over the years more and more features have been added to Minecraft as Mojang keeps updating the game. Some of the features are quite useful, while others are useless, unnecessary and ridiculous. What do you think is the most useless, unnecessary or ridiculous feature in Minecraft? Post your opinions in the comments!

There's some features I like more and some I like less, but I don't think any of them are "useless." Even bats, which you ask about in the poll, add a bit of atmosphere to large caverns in the game, which I think is a perfectly good purpose...
Well, I don't really think anything is useless. Everything has it's reason to be in the game. Decoration, game improvement, Just there cuz' why not..
About the bats? I say 50/50.
Yes, they are rather useless. They only fly around and annoys people. Yet they do have their use. They offer decoration and more realistic caverns. Without them, well.. cave exploring would be rather dull.
Yeah, yeah, I got jumpscared by them quite a lot (I'm telling the truth, I could be going over a lava filled ravine, and suddenly they make their noise and scare the crap out of me D:<) But yes, they have a use other that that haha ;pp
Bats have the one use of exposing the existence of caves. Then again, pretty much every other common hostile does the same thing, as does lava and flowing water, so it's not THAT useful.
There aren't really truly 100% worthless features, although there are some things that are either intended to have minimal practical benefit for players (fireworks, music discs/jukeboxes) or simply end up having little practical purpose to the player for one reason or another (about half the potions, beacons). The MOST useless one IMO is fireworks; I forget they exist very very frequently. I suppose air, too, since you can breathe just fine in blocks that aren't air (glowstone, glass, etc).

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
Hearing the squeak of a bat when you are mining indicates a nearby cavern. Occurs for me more consistently than hostile mob noises. Not entirely unique but I find them helpful.
Also scare the bejesus out of me when one flies past when I am not expecting it

"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

I think the most useless feature of MineCraft are people who create negative forum threads about the game which have nothing positive or constructive to offer, and only serve to encourage people to moan.

Companies improve off of negative feedback. How will they know what to do if they don't know what we want?
I think the useless feature in minecraft could be podzol as it has no uses except being dirt.
Bats aren't useless as they can give location of cave because of their sound, I had morph mod active, I killed a bat and gained flying ability in survival. Flying Is usefull
Enter signature here, you might seem this as a signature. Also this is a signature that makes you mad of signatures. Guess how many 'signatures' are there.
Fireworks, sure they can be a neat little detail/what ever, but they could easily be removed, and I for sure easily forgets that they are even a feature.
Bats are also nice with essentials, because you can spawn other mobs on top of them to create flying pigs or flying cows. Its pretty neat for players to see.

Air is necessary if you want any empty space... or are you just kidding?
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

Why do we need 'carrots on sticks' or 'ridable pigs' anymore? I can't determine if they're more useless or silly.

Deal with it or go cry.
Sire I inquire as I do with most, but do you mean to gloat? For is it truly such a tire to reply to the host with but a simple QUOTE?

I would say they are silly.
