1.9 Updates: New Character Screen!
Jeb tweeted a new image recently, indicating some significant changes to the inventory - stats, possible bottles for potions and more! An earlier tweet seemed to support the potion theory, with a mention of a possible blindness potion. He seemed to indicate that the inventory/stat changes would not take effect in 1.9, however.
Already, we have seen a large shift in the way Survival Mode plays, with the inclusion of NPC villages, more expansive dungeons (including strongholds, and nether forts), a large number of new creatures and more. What will be added next? Keep an eye out for more updates!
Why am I not surprised. Notch is the only one dumb enough to add something COMPLETELY useless and promise that it will have a use in 1.9. Only to spit in our faces and say it won't even come in 1.9. I wish Notch wasn't so goddamn lazy. Now I want Bethesda to screw over Notch's shitty rip-off of Elder Scrolls.
Seriously don't know what to think, but MineCraft has been one of those games that seems to surpass my expectations every time... We shall see.
Not only does this add huge amounts of lag to the game, it takes it away from a survival sandbox game.
They're making it into a **** RPG/FPS game.
Oh they added grass!
noooo that is gonna take out the survival part of the game.
ohh they added more animals.
nooo this is gonna turn into farmville.
ohh biomes.
noo I want the old piece of turd terrain system better.
nice oceans.
noooo they are too big.
yes more things for nether.
noooo this doesnt fit with the nether!
but this... I don't know exactly what to think of it but 'oh boy'

I agree. If this had been in MC when I bought my key I would never have bought it. If I wanted to play an RPG there are 100's of them already on the market to choose from and all of them are far better at it than MC could even think of being.
The heart and soul of my beloved minecraft just had it's heart ripped out, slammed on the ground and stomped on.
