While it is true that there used to be a great deal of pride in building a complex booster, I find that transportation should be simple. The new, genuine boosters allow everyone to travel with ease.

Indeed.
It seems nobody else wants them back either. Thanks, Notch! (not sarcastic)
They were amusing and fun to play with but the new powered rails are far more reliable and have one significant advantage over the glitch boosters. I can now walk up to my main rail line at any point along the track, plop down a mine cart and push it over to the nearest booster and be off. Before, I was forced to walk the entire length of the track as there were only boosters at the end points.
I figure this is going to save me far more time in the long run than what I gained with the glitch boosters.

Tis far better to be a witty fool than a foolish wit.
Powered rails are now king since they are getting a power-up.
I just wonder what Notch will do about the furnace-cart.

I guarantee you my cart stations will still be complicated. :tongue.gif:
Wow! The "MUST HAVE THEM BACK DAMMIT NOTCH" section of the community is actually really tiny!
Yeah, minorities in this community tend to be very loud. Look at the miniscule anti-mobtrap camp and how much noise they make. Self-entitlement tends to do that. People who try to use "the customer is always right" tend to be abusive assholes, both here and in real life. :tongue.gif:
But yeah, glitch boosters were fun while they lasted but we all knew they were a glitch. Game development requires that glitches are eventually removed, and prominent ones are often corrected first. I have no doubt that someone will probably mod them back, and anyone who is attached to their glitch boosters will not update their game until such a mod is available. Opt-in updates, hurray!
I am curious as to the fate of powered carts, though.

Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. (Source)
Anything built within Minecraft, using only Minecraft, without using bugs, is legit.
If you don't want to build mob traps, that's fine. Just don't tell us it's cheating.
I'm irritated he removed them. They may be unwieldy but it was fun to figure things out and make fancy systems to make them work. Everything hard to do is being removed and replaced with pathetically simple solutions. Whats next, one block-redstone logic gates?
Based on speculation, I'm happy that they were fixed. Sure I used them in a very large rail system that I had, but the only reason for using them was because there wasn't an effective way to make a rail line without them before powered rails.
Powered rails may still need to be balanced to get the speed that feels right, but I have confidence that we'll have a good speed in the end.
I also think that it's a great balancing mechanic because it makes you have to work (ie find gold) in order to make a system, so it throws a roadblock up to stretch out the progression of materials giving more reason to dig. Granted you can still cheat and just give yourself materials, but if you wanted to play legit then I think it works.

They were glitches.
And yes, I would prefer to have one block logic gates instead of miles of wiring to do a simple task.
It will be equally fun to learn how to misuse new developments. I'm sure someone will find a random way to boost a minecart vertically using the new tracks any day now.
That's true... just give it a few weeks, and we'll have super-glitch boosters of doom!
