I was playing around the 1.8 update and noticed it didn't quite feel as Minecraft-y as before, and it was until now that I figured out what it was, the grass is no longer as green (the greenest grass is very sparse also) and there are no more real beaches. This lack of green forests makes the entire biome exploration have a lot less of a Minecraft feel, this green forest biome was the original biome, and its not really in 1.8 at all. Here are some pictures comparing. Thanks.
I think it was a trade-off. Notch worked hard to add mountains and ravines and rivers, which are all great, but got rid of beaches in the process. It would also be nice to give more biomes nice green grass.

If you like my post, give it a thumbs up. Or like. Or +1. Whatever. JUST DO IT.

Well why would he have to get rid of beaches and green grass to add mountains and ravines?
Yah the 1.9 update made the once green swamp land it to crappy grey I hope that's not how the final things look the grass was brighter but as for trees I get forests all the time so much so I have a tree village i did ledgit that covers the entire chunk with a huge wooden log castle. all the sand seems to under the swamp places. I see what you mean though I liked it brighter at times. MC looks old a dingy but I have a nice texture pack that will fix that if John smith every updates it
Ya you're right. I made a fix for this: Greener Grass. It works like a texture pack. Also, if you just want the grasscolor.png, then here you are: grasscolor.png. You can but that in your minecraft folder in minecraft>bin>minecraft.jar(open with winrar or something)>misc>, and that will change it also. Here are some screenshots:

Yea, I guess a texture pack would fix the grass, but lots of people don't like texture packs, myself included. Thanks.
Lime green grass? Glad it is gone. Spawning on beaches over and over again; beaches that creep up the side of hills unnaturally. No thanks.
So your saying you would rather spawn on top of a pine tree in a snowless snow biome? I think the beach was the best was to go because it made sure you where always near water and sand, both being essential if you want to get anything that looks nice. Thanks.

Try sliding your Brightness bar from "moody" to the other end.. i think that should produce grass in roughly the same hue as before the lighting changes :wink.gif:
Sadly that doesn't work, although it make the depth look a lot better. Thanks.

Yea. Thanks.
Well are there even rain-forests? all I see is the regular forest. Thanks.
I don't thank people on whether or not the agreed, I thank them for taking the time to leave a comment. Thanks.
Yea, but it seems deserts are probably the biggest biome now...yet they are the least interesting :/ Thanks.

:biggrin.gif: Thanks!
Yea they need to re-implement snow and get rid of that stupid pine tree biome, or atleast add snow to it. Thanks.
heh...Thanks.
Yea, maybe make an option in the menu to disable/enable biome colors. Good idea, Thanks.

Those were good days. Gave you the feeling of "I have been stranded on some remote archipelago on earth".
Although I remember my first map was a snow themed one.
On topic, I wish they were brought back.
Now I feel like I am stranded on one of the super earths we discovered.
