It would be funny if you could make a name float above the Steve faces like the names that float above other players. But only 1 line of space, I don't wanna replace the signs!

I don't understand why people don't use the Minecraft Profile Manager http://www.minecraft...rofile-manager/

I've been looking for something like this, you have my thanks!

Who needs horses when now you can control a pig with it!

Have you noticed how, yet again, the minecraft developers have stolen content from a mod?
The "mob" heads were originally created by Jammy780 in the mod found here:

http://www.minecraft...-furniture-mod/

I wish they would add some of the other stuff from that mod though. Some furniture, cupboards, and general decorations would be nice. I guess the planter/flowerpot was also added that could be said to come from this same mod, so I guess there is some hope for a chair you can sit in for vanilla minecraft.

I also love the fridge and the grandfather clock. Anyway, certainly more decorations would be nice to have no matter what, especially if Mojang plans on using Minecraft as an urban planning tool. See also this tweet via Notch (he retweeted it yesterday):

I would have to think Mojang is going to add some extra flourishes just to support such a project in terms of interior design pieces. Just some food for thought, particularly since so much seems to be coming from Jammy780's mod.

Mod developers would be happy to see something they made get added to the official version, yet it also means that people have less of a reason to download their mod, which could eventually result in them stopping the development of the mods. Also, the worst part about Minecraft developers stealing content from mods is that they never admit to it or give credit to the people that originally thought of the things.

I call that flattery. While it is a common misconception that Mojang can take anything somebody is doing in a mod and appropriate it into Minecraft, I would be grateful for anything I do in a mod might possibly get incorporated into vanilla Minecraft. One mod I wrote I even expect that it should... mainly because it is a bug patch that Mojang should be fixing anyway.

If Mojang is taking stuff from mods though, they should be at least giving attribution to the original mod developers in some way... particularly if they are fairly popular mods like Jammy's Furniture mod. I don't know if the Baby Animal mod developer got credit, but that is another particuarly well designed mod that was incorporated into vanilla Minecraft that should have been credited.

Anyone know if the Wither Skeletons spawn in already generated Nether Fortresses or do i need to find a new one?

Cna't wait for 1.4..............Too lazy to download and install Snapshots

Looking at the posted videos, I see the "bug fixes" didn't include the major ones: Mobs and animals falling into the ground, for example.

I'll keep playing because there's nothing that can compete..... but don't expect me to be happy about the new snapshot

I like the new beacon look

I've never tried using a snapshot before and I've stayed on 1.2.5 after hearing of all the problems with 1.3.x
Is it really just as simple as swapping out the .jar files? If this snapshot has problems do I just replace it with my old (stable) 1.2.5 jar and everything will be back to normal?

Yep.

Amazing snapshot. Now Chickens can be bred with seeds, giving me an actual USE for all the seeds I have in my chest. Also, has anyone found out what this new Dungeon Loot is? I badly want to know, but I am not sure about updating to this snapshot yet.

I'm somewhat disappointed that the Wither only drops a component to the Beacon. I never did think that the Beacon made much sense in Survival mode, unless you've been caving like mad just to get all the mineral to supply yourself with buffers from the Beacon.

BEAST

Can't wait for the update!

I could not find any in already generated Nether Forts, but found them quickly in a newly generated Nether Fort. They don't seem to spawn that often, and I only saw maybe a dozen over about an hour of play. No heads dropped, but I got one stone sword. I saw a couple of regular skeletons spawn as well.

I also saw blazes spawning without a spawner, which never happened in my old Nether Forts. Lots of magma slimes too.

Yes! Yes!

The carrot on the stick kind of takes away the use of wheat for pigs. I hope they make it so that only saddled pigs can be attracted to it.

I do not approve. Mojang is making Minecraft too dark and too complicated. Minecraft started out with the idea of making a "simple game with blocks". Now it's all about new mobs, new features, etc. They should be improving on what they already have such as villages. The new Wither boss is heavily overpowered, and while some of the new features are cool, I generally do not like where Minecraft is going. Then again, I am 21, so maybe it is time to stop playing games. Don't let me stop you though; if you like all the new features, by all means, go ahead and play.

The Wither Isn't Overpowered At All....It's Not Supposed To Be A 5 Second Mob Kill, But Rather A Boss...And Villages Have Been Improved Heavily, With Introductions Of Trading, Iron Golems, More Crops Spawn, And Different Locations Now. Minecraft Always Had Mobs And Features, So Not Expanding On That Would Be Pointless. Minecraft Is Going Into A More Steady Direction. If You Don't Like The New Stuff, Don't Use It...If You Really Hate It, Stay In Your "Simple Game With Blocks" Version. All In All, I Don't Agree With Your Points At All Because I Don't See Any Non-Selfish Logic To It....
