I personally don't like the snapshots because they take the excitment of waiting for the next update out of the game. I still like all Notch, Jeb and the rest of Mojang just Jebs idea for snapshots was a bad idea in my opinion.

Notch did prereleases and you didn't complain. Jeb did snapshots and now you hate on him.
And you don't need to download the snapshots, so quit whining.
Jeb listens to the community and is mod mod freindly which i see as his greatest strength. the other thing besides listening is he also works faster and more efficently with code than Notch does based on the tumbler post. hopefully when Notch does come back (if ever) he will take the back seat and be a lot faster at programing things
Wolves Were a good idea, even more so now that they have new AI
Vanilla pistons The mod was not balance enough, if it was implemented exactly the way it was in the mod, minecraft would be horribly unbalanced
Jungles being only in new worlds He did this so people wouldn't complain about the terrain of there old maps being changed. In other words, so there wouldn't be any "THERES SNOW IN MAH DESSERT!!!11!! :sad.gif:" comments.
Love how you only name three things.
And to be honest, notch is better at starting games. Jeb is better at bringing out their full potential.
I think they should do this more often, have notch make a game, then have jeb make it more awesome.
They are both different persons with different points of view, different feelings etc etc... Jeb is doing a great job right now and its carrying things along prety well.
ill shorten the story.
Notch was a nice developer in the start. doing his max to the game and all. but then he got tired, and gave up.
Jeb is a nice developer, but this is because its the start. hopefully jeb wont get tired soon.

You're kind of right but, Notch made alot of stuff and Jeb helped him with it.
Jeb is doing a great job, but the MCforums community is a fickle one that can always find something to make a fuss about. The ladders fix is actually a great example, he changed it because people have been screaming for them to "fix the ladders" for ages. So when he finally gets an actually description of what "fix ladders" means he makes the change and a whole new bunch of people start complaining. Then he changes it back and, what do you know, the original complainers are complaining again.
You can't make everyone happy, I think some people need to realize that and accept that there will be things in Minecraft (like any game) that you don't like. And stop making mountains out of molehills, it's just a game.
He actually fixed the problem for everyone.
We have vines(new ladders)
Ladders(old box)
That gives Jeb even more points...
And yet no one remembers...
Remember all the older beta/alpha releases?Not only Notch,not only Jeb,but
MOJANG all worked on it.I hate when people say that "Jeb is better than Notch" or the other way around
as they dont seem to get it.Swamps where NOT useless,as they now give us lilypads and more common mushrooms.
Notch listens to the community too,remember pistons?I remember them,and who's idea was it to add them?NOTCHES IDEA!
He had all the presure before the release,worrying about how people would judge his game or if what he adds with get hated.Remember,Notch is coming back.That means more idea's from him.Jeb now has no pressure+he has someone to help him like Notch did.Can;t compare a years work to about 3 months of work,creativity comes first like with notch but then you run out of ideas.Soon people will be complaining "Jeb did ### and i ####",same that happened with Notch only this time it won't be as much.I don't think this topic has a purpose,as the whole Mojang group are great developers.
Notch and Jeb(and their recently acquired AI coder, I forget his name) are the ONLY 2 people actually contributing to Minecraft in actuality. Kaplan works on Mojang's business side, Junkboy works on game art, C418 does music, Tobias works on the website, Jakob works on Scrolls, and Carl Manneh is a Managing Director.
As for swamps, what I meant by "useless" is that not many people like them. Swamps are the sort of thing that were only cool in the pre-releases, but now they are plainly annoying and ugly. The fact that they have more mushrooms doesn't contribute anything.
And finally, I didn't say anything about the rest of the Mojang team being useless, I am only saying that Jeb is a much better Minecraft developer than Notch.
Oh, and Jeb added pistons, not Notch.
--------------
Also, I changed the title so that it isn't so hard on Notch. I am not trying to hate on Notch, just praise Jeb.
Minecraft was Notch's toy, which made him a ton of money, but Jeb is a better coder and programmer and treats minecraft like a video game, not a toy. Though Notch was awesome for adding silly stuff to the game.

Good day to you sir, If I have assisted, and or pleased you in any way, please do click the green plus.
I agree whole-heartedly. Notch had a good idea but didn't seem to know where to go with it. I love everything Jeb has done so far. He responds to the community, like with bringing the ladder hitboxes back in the latest snapshot. He's making biome transitions look better. I can't wait to see what he's going to do next.
If we really are giving points for every single tweak and feature. Notch and his work (+70% of the game) wins easily.
That would be an unfair scoring system. Jeb hasn't worked on the game as long as notch has, and half of the time Jeb has been working on the game, he was set back by Notch.
Wait another year or so, then use this point system.
I do recall, Notch said he was bad at making generation things. I beleive it mostly meant pregenerated buildings, dungeons, ect. but it could possible mean he also wasn't good at biomes. So perhaps Jeb might be good with biomes and buildings, but he might not be as good for AIs, blocks, or whatever else.

Wait, actually Notch started that and handed it over to Jeb, just like the game itself.
Notch started the villages, Jeb finished their structures, then Notch added the butt ugly villagers.
One more point to Jeb.
Notch was a nice developer in the start. doing his max to the game and all. but then he got tired, and gave up.
Jeb is a nice developer, but this is because its the start. hopefully jeb wont get tired soon.

I humbly request that Jeb do SOMETHING about Notch's swamps. They suck and they're ****ing everywhere.
