... They can teleport, y'know that right?
1.8 comes out in August and the bug updates comes out in september
I think it's fine. You lose all of your levels when you die, so it's not like you'll be grinding for centuries
Actually, I don't think you saw the oceans very well. They are not just bigger. They. Are. GYNORMIOUSLY BIGGER. And much, much more deep. Its incredible, really. You can build underwater towns. You can live on a tiny island with NO LAND besides that island in sight. Its like cast away. How cool is that? Also, if you take a look at dungeons, they commonly have many, many passageways and rooms and also commonly feature abandoned mine shafts, which makes it feel like a humble forgotten underground city. Dont forget the incredible lighting effects. Oh, and theres silverfish so that makes two new mobs. Oh and three if you count the NPC villagers.
It will be like: "Oh my, I have no space in chest for this precious diamond. Just did hit a diamond MINESHAFT. I will place this diamond in a blocks, here, near the exit, yeah? That's be nice."
Morning: "OH SHI~"
ahh, good ol' classic :3
