Clown Fish seems to tame ocelots after a single attempt. At least they do in creative. Also - Watermelons grow wild in Jungles now! Woo-hoo! Savanna and Gravel Beaches are back too! Now, how about that long-lost pre-1.8 "ice desert" biome... maybe throw down some code for igloo villages and/or snow pyramids too. Just a thought.
While I'm still early in playing around with things, I've noticed a few things in particular.
1. The sound options reset every time the game is closed (maybe every time the world is closed; I haven't tested that, but it's at least every time the game is restarted).
2. I seem to get annoying stuttering while near a jungle biome, and what's odd is that my frame rate will still be rather high. I've had it varying between 77 FPS and 112 FPS and feel so stuttery that I'd have thought it was dropping to 30 FPS or lower. This may be something on my end, but my PC is more than capable, and I never had the issue before. It's not just on chunk generation either (though it's more pronounced then). I could pause it and let it load all around, and then reload the world, and after letting it settle, simply looking around is hitching a bit. The frame rate is high, but there's occasional and pronounced pauses, and it almost makes jungles something I have to shy from. Anyone else have stuttering exclusive to jungles?
3. I feared this when the tidbits about the new biome placement maps were being shown, but I wanted to reserve my opinion until I could see for myself. Because of the "more realistic" nature of how biomes are arranged, you have to walk forever to see a lot of variation. I spawned in a world and have walked for thousands of blocks (about 5,000 so far), and I've mostly just seen forests (regular, birch, and taiga only) with the ocassional extreme hill and plains biome. I only recently found a swamp and a jungle or two. Yes, it's more realistic, but we already had the large biomes world option for a more larger regional feel. It's fine if deserts are kept more away from snow, but still, this could us being toned down a bit IMO. We got rid of oceans because people hated going for thousands of blocks, and then this is the same thing (oddly, I didn't mind the oceans though, though I did agree they were excessive). Otherwise, I like the new generation.
4. I don't seem to be finding larger oak trees in forests anymore. I'm guessing they have their own forest now (?) like birch trees, but I'm one of those who believe the trees are too small in Minecraft. I'm not suggesting the small trees be removed, but the large oak trees mixed in gave it the needed (IMO) variety. I could just be missing them, or they are less common in some forests?
how do i know what enchant my fishing rod has ? or is it supposed to give no enchant on it ?
i used lvl30 enchants
Better question, why are you using internet explorer?

Balance is the key. You need some time away and we understand that. But once that's done? We'll meet you on any server (yes, even factions) with a sword in one hand, and a pickaxe in the other.
The double tall grass + the tall flowers are too much. D: Tall grass was already in the way. I thought the sunflower was fine though. Bushes wouldn't be two blocks tall unless they were trimmed. Now I wish Notch was the one developing Minecraft again. The generation is a bit okay, but I will honestly miss the old biomes how they were.

Well you are under no obligation to update your copy of minecraft.
My guess is that it's a notice that it might require more computing resources (a faster CPU namely, probably) and have lower performance on some lower end PCs.

The options menu is not too bad.

Overall though, this seems to be a great update.
Yes it is.
Remember! Don't eat it
nether portals are instant

Did they take my idea of having wild melons? I actually did suggest it, siggy is proof. (Too bad its for PC version, hopefully Xbox too in the future)

Thtat terrain generator reminds me the Avatar movie. And thanks, Mojang, for the return of the gravel beach.
No yellow flowers where just called flowers before
What does 'beefy computer' mean?

^Just checking if it does anythingNow that there are such a variety of biomes, we need a variety of animals to match. I don't want to have chickens in a savannah.
