I hate the new minecart derailing system. It feels unnecessary and is especially detrimental to someone like myself where most of the rail systems I build are built at really high elevations. Earlier my minecart derailed over an ocean but the Instant I exited the minecart after it went underwater I died instantly and lost 47 levels.

I wish the new mob was more original instead of making a sliverfish purple

Dinnerbone said endermites will have their own model in the next snapshot. The silverfish model was just a place holder...

I'm so disappointed with the change to minecart physics. I've invested a lot of time building a huge interconnected minecart system, above and below ground, with dozens of stations, complicated switches, etc. All of it is broken in the new snapshot. It's a hugely daunting and frustrating task to try to fix it to work with the new physics, and it isn't even clear that it's possible.

I tried fixing one small portion of the minecart system to work with the new snapshot, and couldn't get the carts to reliably go uphill, or go around corners where there are solid blocks next to the corners.

Please, please, please Mojang, DON'T DO THIS to minecart physics! It's so broken and wrong!

Couldn't agree more. I've simply reverted to an earlier version. It's nice to have fast minecarts but it's not worth the price of ruining the game.
If this is implimented on ver.1.8 I'll stay with 1.7.

When an Enderman gets mad his jaw opens wide like he's in a frantic state. Is that new?

That's been there for a bit.

Completely agree. I finally started playing with the rail system and I gotta say, it is barely useable. I could deal with the changes if it were at least consistant. As it is, sometimes the cart will go up the hill, sometimes it won't, whether it is powered or not. Sometimes it will derail, other times it won't. I can deal with silliness as long as it is reliable. But you really can't release the new rail physics as they are. Please.

They are likely not finished with the new rail system yet, just trying a few things.
