I can't wait to make an audo chicken farm with the Hopper :D

EDIT: I also can't wait for the weighted preasure plates, or the BUD switch (Altho I wish they kept the old BUD switch instead, less people knew about it so I could make really good traps) Also, I could make a compleatly audo melon/Pumkin farm with the new stuff, I think. Oh yeah, im so glad Mojang did something in the suggestions by making Redstone Blocks :D

It sure is a cool snapshot, but I can't wait to see the full extent of 1.5. A lot more potential lies within the redstone mechanics!

Hooray for the Redstone Update! I can't wait to get started on my night lamp system :3

Wow, just wait until the next snapshot maybe they'll add stuff similar to the quarries in tekkit and you could have the hoppers transport the mined blocks into a chest :D

I love this snapshot, and most everything looks epic, but am I the only one slightly disappointed in the redstone blocks? I'm not talking about the texture or anything, because I think it looks pretty cool, but if it's really only a push-able redstone torch, I don't see much potential for it. I was personally hoping for it to act like redstone wire, so you could make vertical circuits without the torch delay, and condensed lamp set-up:

Now you only need to power one of the blocks to light all the lamps. Just a suggestion.

I love this snapshot because it kinda focuses more on redstone in which I like, even though I'm not that experienced with redstone.

I hope they gave IC2 some credit for the hopper!

I'l be honest, I really dislike the redstone block. I think it never should have been made.
Apart from that, the redstone update is a blast.

I'm really looking forward to the release of these items and can't wait until I can start building machines with these blocks although I'm worried about over complicating minecraft...

As a person that has Asperger's Syndrome and loves Minecraft, I'm so glad that because of Minecraft people who are younger than me are getting a lot of help via Minecraft. And seeing that the parent is helping alongside with Minecraft is inspiring. Social interaction is hard for us and starts when we first enter a social environment like schools. For the past some-odd 15 years, I had the same difficulty as that kid is having, but I'm managing very well in getting better with interacting with others. Using Minecraft as a tool to assist in learning and social aid is wonderful! I hope people in more education departments will see that this video game / PC game has more potential to do good. I wish Minecraft would of come much earlier so I could of gotten this kind of help.

Oh yeah, the Snapshot looks pretty cool as well! Can't wait to see what else gets added to it.
Furry you say? I hope you mean "lover of original anthropomorphic characters." But don't take us the wrong way from what people say on the Internet. That commercial on TV lies!!
I like anime, video games, being a furry, art, tech, and THE FUTURE. What does mean to me? I can go to any convention I like! I just need time off and a ride, though... Halp?

Um... as a server owner, I'm STILL waiting for the plugin API which Mojang keeps promising (it'll be out next patch) but never is.  Sighs... this is just gonna break the server again.....
