1.7 Sneak Peek: Sunflowers, Falling Particles
One of the curiosities of Minecraft has always been compass directions. The in-game compass has not ever pointed north, but rather at the player's spawn point. Most people generally assumed that east and west was easily determined by the sun and moon rising and setting, but other things - like cloud movement - always added to the confusion. So, who has the answer?
The humble sunflower!
While many of the upcoming developments of 1.7 have been kept under wraps, Jeb revealed this delightful addition to the game, which is confirmed to always face east! Very nice!
Dinnerbone also gave us a brief look into an upcoming feature which will help with immersion - impact particles! Basically, if you fall more than a certain distance, then you will generate particles from the impact of whatever block you land on. Sweet!
Keep an ear to the ground, because there is a lot more coming up, and you don't want to miss it!
I don't know why, but they really should think about some of the things players are looking for, now I'm just one who wants all the mod stuff, I don't know if there are others, but I sure hope they agree.

Finally, someone other than me says that jeb has started to add absolutely idiotic things to minecraft, and the consequence being that modders have to update their mods for just one feature.
Mojang is stupid anyways. The only reason I liked mojang was because of Minecraft. But I have kinda grew out of fanboyism and realize what a mess they are anyways. Minecraft modding is a huuuuuge community, and they need at least word that it is being worked on, but no such word exists.
They are lazy lazy lazy and it pains me sometimes. They do add good content but at the same time it takes so long for features that have been suggested:
I think you should know by now that that is not a bug. It normally comes from playing on a computer that can't handle Minecraft well, or just a bad mouse, or both.
I will rip your arms off and feed them to a cat.

On a much more lovely note that I think is hilarious,
I hope they add Sun Flower seeds that are edible.. I'd love to get a stack of them and just spew them all over the place at my friends.
