Trenix, you honestly think that the baby animals are a joke? They look fairly adorable except that the faces look exactly like the adults, which I find slightly creepy. Other than that I think it is an awesome idea. Reminds me of Spore.
Anyways, I look forward to reading your reason(s) why you feel that the big heads are a joke.
I think there is a little too much humor going to be present in minecraft when 1.9 comes out. I don't believe Notch is taking it seriously what-so-ever and it's just going to kill my experience in minecraft, a game which had much potential and respect. Instead of convincing people to buy the game now, I'm telling them to wait because I don't feel Notch is at the right state of mind at the moment. Humor is appreciated but not so much as in to ruining the general quality of the game.
Jokes in Patch 1.9
Snow Golem
- Renamed to escalate the joke.
- Made only because he was "frustrated".
- Could of been working on another mob, like a baby animal.
- Doesn't fit the theme of minecraft at all.
- Attack each other when you try to breed them.
NPCs
- Look graphically bad when compared to the rest of minecraft.
- Have a humorous look that makes you not even take a village seriously or the game for that matter.
- Jeb stated that they are not planning on changing their look anytime soon.
Baby Animals
- Have big heads.
Animal Breeding
- All animals will come from eggs because Notch thinks it's funny.
- Somehow I believe this isn't a joke because we all thought the snowman was and look what happened.
- Notch is most likely doing this because he's too lazy to introduce baby animals, which is a big disappointment.
- Baby animals will be widely suitable for all age groups unlike an egg which would only be a placeholder for wasted time. Notch has confirmed that there will be baby animals.

Possible Solutions
Each point is a different solution.
Snow Golem
- Make it a snowman and keep it as a decoration.
- Have it only be available during the holidays.
- Make it look like an actual snow golem which will spawn naturally rather than being crafted.
- Should not be able to even attempt to breed a snow golem.
NPCs
- Make them look like a regular villager.
- Have them look like pigmen, like they were supposed to be.
Baby Animals
- Shrink their heads.
Animal Breeding
- Do not make all animals hatch from eggs.
- All animals except chickens, should spawn babies.
Reminder: This Is Feedback
I actually like many of the new additions in patch 1.9. However, don't forget that Notch has asked us for feedback. So I don't feel it's right for anyone to attack or judge me for doing what was asked to be done. It's part of the processes of building up a game. Positive feedback doesn't help Notch polish the game.
Seriousness Vs. Realism
The opposite of realistic, is not serious. No way, shape, or form, did I touch upon the topic of realism. However, that seems like a big topic among this thread and I get bashed for it. When I ask for a game to be serious, I ask for updates that will require some actual time and thought. For example, a snow golem was created due to Notch's frustration. Clearly he did it for fun, and there was no serious time or thought into it.
If you're going to add something into the game, it needs to be well thought out and reasonable. It may be humorous, but it shouldn't ruin the quality of the game. Above are two things that ruin the quality of the game. That does not mean that minecraft is garbage or that I hate the game.
Disagreeing: How To Not Respond
- Telling me this isn't my game.
- Telling me that this game is in beta.
- Insulting my thread.
- Insulting me.
- Telling me to not update my game.
- Implying that I talked about realism.
- Telling me to stop complaining.
- Telling me not to use these features.
Not only do these contribute nothing to my thread, they're just useless comments that have already been said.
not much of this is a big deal but i do agree with the npc part. they look retarded and it totally demotes minecraft that such a stupid looking creature would exist

I used to be an arrow like you, but then i took a knee to the head.

Hasn't Trenix explained it to you yet? Minecraft is a place without humor. Those are totally serious baby animals, befitting the level of humor in Minecraft.
He probably wishes we had eggs now instead. Eggs > Bobbleheads :tongue.gif:

take your hand, open your hand, apply hand to forehead firmly then repeat.
Tap your numb knuckle against your teeth and close your eyes, it's proven that you'll get dizzy. If you don't, you need to tap with your thumb knuckle more than 16 times.

They're not adorable. These big heads ruin their cuteness. So much that I'm going to wanna kill them. I don't even believe a texture pack can fix it and how am I gotta use a mod in a multiplayer server? I'm just sick with Notch's childish behavior. Really hope people will start to realize that maybe he's going a little too far now.

No, I'd still prefer baby animals because they require time to grow otherwise they'll drop nothing when killed. Eggs would make the game too easy...

I think the most childish thing in this thread is the way you're overreacting over the size of baby animal heads. Not even real baby animal heads, but pixelated video game baby animal heads. No, the size of baby animal heads is not the worst thing to happen since 9/11. Calm down.
Some potions are for example ok, but potions that make you able to breath underwater for a certain amount of time? This isn't Harry Potter!
I mean, if you want something that does that, add a craftable scuba diving gear or so...
Or a snorkel, made out of bamboo...
It's less goofy for a fantasy-themed world to have scuba gear craftable out of coconuts and sticks than to have potions?
I only have one thing to say. STFU and deal with it.

I never mentioned coconuts, just a bamboo straw would let you underwater longer in shallow waters.
No no, don't move the goalposts. You said SCUBA gear. Why the hell would SCUBA gear somehow be more apt for a fantasy setting where you're stabbing skeletons and zombies than a potion? That's like saying we shouldn't add horses or horse riding because we should instead have tanks.
Baby animal heads look weird and I don't like them Because they ruin the feel of the game and make me not want to breed animals.
On the other hand They look quite cute and will stop me from dieing of hunger.
1) I hate baby animals, they're not cute but rather killable.
2) I will not refuse to breed them, because animal breeding is a good idea.
3) Baby animals WILL NOT drop anything upon death, Notch has confirmed this.
Quote from Notch »
Baby animals don't drop loot or xp, have a faster animation, and higher pitched sounds. Also, they eventually grow up.
This just comes back to a matter of taste. OP and others doen't like the jokey-jokey, many players do.
When I hear people on these forums say "Notch isn't taking the game seriously," my knee jerk response is "Great!"
The thing that first attracted me to Minecraft (and I'm not gonna compare the length of my stay, because I don't think being an old or new fan makes anyone's opinion more or less valid) was it's super quirky oddball style.
I like to play a game that feels like it was made by fun, creative people rather than by a committee.
But then, I still play roguelikes and text adventures so WTF do I know.
And your argument is completely invalid.
Do horses exist? Yes. Do tanks exists? Yes.
Do snorkels exist? Yes. Do magic potions that give you the ability to breath underwater exist? as far as I'm updated to the latest news in magic, they don't.
If your goal is realism, I suggest not playing a fantasy game where you stab skeletons with a sword you built out of cobblestones and sticks that you punched off trees.

So what's so difficult about making scuba gear fit the fantasy setting of Minecraft? they had no problem doing it with electricity, simply by calling it by another name (redstone) and tweaking it around just a bit.
2) Minecraft is one of the most mod-able games out there. You don't like something? If anyone agrees with you there will be a mod for it.
I guess it looks like I'm coming back with an updated post and another thing to complain about. Cheers!

Curse PremiumYou have a point.

About as useless as your thread. You bring absolutely nothing new to the table.
May the force be without you.

No, you won't be missed.
