If the minecraft wiki is correct and ice blocks can't be used to bring water to the nether anymore, then this update kills a lot of the fun (I think). Is there any other way I don't know of? (Legit way of course)

Is the opposite, makes the nether really easy to handle.

I dont understand, it says you can do Underlined text and such in books with §, but I dont know how to type it into the book :c can anyone explain?

I bet the censored thing is the addition of blueberries as a new food idem. In the book it said "blueberry gardens", so maybe villages will spawn with a blueberry garden as well wheat farms. That would be amazing because it add an unique to villages encouraging players to find them.

Also, in the book it mentions bears and burrow. Now I doubt if this was added to the game, it'll probably be for a later update. How I think it could work would be that burrows would spawn in rarely in certain bios, like dungeons, and contain a chest with fish or something bear related.

You do realize that the picture is something Sacheverell upploaded. Right?

Now we need:
Different colored stairs
different colored fances(and gate)
different colored wood pressure pads

if they want to go even more deeper:
different colored wooden doors
different colored boats
different colored sticks - absurd but who knows

The books are going to be perfect for adventure maps, no more stupid sings!

Or signs.

This is pretty sweet! I also like the Pokemon idea quite funny.Funny how growl is super effective

When I saw the screenshot of that book, I hyperventilated with admiration. You might say that I'm frothing at the mouth.

I don't get how removing the ability to put water into the Nether makes it any easier to cope in the Nether?

I also don't understand why having water in the Nether is necessarily a bad thing to have either. I am not saying that it should be easy to make, nor should you find whole oceans in the Nether. Rather a better way to deal with the whole issue is to create a really nasty mob that comes out and bites you hard if you place a block of water in the Nether. Something like a squid, but REALLY nasty and can come out of the water and follow you around, is aggressive (aka can attack you spontaneously), and perhaps even shoots a missile weapon like a skeleton, and will spawn even if you are right next to it. There are alternate solutions to "punish" players who put blocks of water into the Nether.

If anything, having a Ghast go after you when you run inside of your Ice Fortress in the Nether blasting at you with a bunch of fireballs ought to break that ice and start spontaneously sending forth those legions of undead water creatures at you. The Nether is a cursed place, but players ought to be able to put water into the Nether in some fashion. Perhaps it is a level 50 enchanted diamond bucket in order to place water in the Nether or something equally convoluted, but I don't see why it must be removed.

Books being able to be written in is going to make hosting a spout server easier, the bookworm plugin won't have to be installed.

OK, I found this in the .lang file
I feel like I'm being trolled:




If not, what does it mean?
There are no mob skins.... yet....
unless it is hidden....

Inb4 the stone monsters are animated golems made from stone, cobblestone, and stone brick, designed to protect strongholds.

At this point I'd like to point out that Silverfish can hide in 3 types of stone.

Stone.
Cobblestone.
Stone Brick.

...yes, I do have an odd way of killing the fun.

Yes. That's called debugging output. It's generally useful in a development build such as this, especially one that may or may not have bugs.

Then you are not really intelligent lol

Quote from Niittroxx

A direct personal attack is not appreciated. I was asking for an intelligent response that would perhaps enlighten me from what might be ignorance rather than a lack of forethought. I can appreciate some challenges to accomplishing a certain task or other, and how you might make an argument that you should try harder to solve a problem.

A response like this just show immaturity and imbecility. It is nice to know that trolls still exist. If you want to prove to me otherwise, try to convince me why having no water is easier to get things done in the Nether than if the water was there? At least provide a good example of how it would work.

That is awesome and ironic! Just yesterday I was thinking "Books should require leather since they have covers, and plus they are actually valuable now..." I can't wait to play! Also, leather has a helpful use now! Come on, who uses leather armor?

NOOOO! Not the slabs! My precious woodslab-floored houses with fireplaces.... Q_Q

Otherwise, I'm liking the changes.

It's a pretty tough argument to make, but if the person who put the claim forth won't try to support it, then I will:

1. Using lava instead of water in an automated item transport system will destroy the items, relieving you of the extra effort required to physically pass near and collect said items.

2. Generally speaking, it is more difficult and more time consuming to grind for a high level enchantment, receive silk touch, and use it to mine Ice for placement in the Nether than it is to grind for a high level enchantment, receive silk touch, and not use it to mine Ice for placement in the Nether.

I believe these two statements to be entirely true and based on objective fact.

Of course, those observant among you may be quick to point out that neither of these examples show how the change makes it easier to "get things done" in the Nether, and that they in fact do the complete opposite by showing how the change makes it easier to not get things done.

I'd suggest giving each different colored wood block a seperate name so when you use Worldedit, they all don't just revert back to regular planks. Also when I destroy blocks with them in my hand, they revert to regular planks also.
