He(Notch) is adding Skylands still,so you can't say he isn't(check the skylands wiki,has his tweets).
Also,they didn't do anything about the villagers as they didn't know anything about ai :\
yes this is one thing that needs to be pointed out. Notch and Jeb didnt know how much they were in over their head with AI for something like villagers. thats why they hired the AI programer so they could make mobs faster and more complex mobs
It's funny, because some of the most criticized ideas added to minecraft were in fact Jeb's ideas. People as hypocritical as usual. There is no way to may people happy, truth is that you will be happy while you find some things you like and then angry when you see something you don't. Let's face it, maybe 2 or 3 weeks from now some of you will be making a "this idea is stupid" thread complaining about something Jeb did. Exactly the same thing happened with Notch. Some days he was loved, some days he was hated. People can be quite dumb on that kind of things :/
i agree no game is perfect plus Minecraft is based on silly ideas or creative ideas(albeit some of them were revised from others) although snowgolems werent perfect they are original so are endermen and creepers you know those things you love and hate? sorry bout my rant. my point is its all in the eye of the beholder
I mean, seriously. As soon as Jeb stepped in to take Notch's place, good things started happening. Flat worlds, spawning mobs in creative, bug fixes, the list goes on. And on top of that, we don't get any more drunk twitter posts from Notch (lol) and Jeb even puts out weekly snapshots.
However, the one thing that Jeb is extraordinary at is that he actually adds things that people want. Take the ladder "fix" for example. People didn't like the ladder-hitbox loss, so Jeb simply re-added it again. If Notch was still working on Minecraft, he would have probably added some glitchy useless feature that nobody cares about(like swamps) instead. Whenever Jeb adds something, you are always saying "****, that is AWESOME!" I mean, look at the new jungle biomes! They are beautiful!
All in all, Jeb is turning Minecraft back into the user-driven, fun game that it was back in alpha. And the transition is amazing.
While I agree Jeb is playing a more active role, I don't think it is very nice to keep bashing Notch like we have on these forums.
i reckon notch did quite great work in alpha and beta but when it got to 1.8 blaaahhhrrr he slacked off a bit and soon as jeb lead the game woaaahhh i was mind blown jeb is awesome :laugh.gif: notch is still great though
Notch and Jeb has always worked together, if Notch came up with an idea he asked Jeb. They agreed on what to make and worked on it just as they are now. It's also to early to actually ask yourself this.
But I will never. NEVER.
Say that jeb is better than Notch.
Notch was the creator. The man who started it all. He thought of the world filled with new ideas and brought it too life. He is the reason jungle biomes exist. The reason any of Minecraft exists. He made Minecraft. And no matter how many ****ing snapshots jeb releases.
But I will never. NEVER.

Nothing can top Notch. [lol unintentional pun]
Notch is great at concept and implementation.
Not so much on general environments and features and general game design.
You have to understand, Minecraft is the only truly successful game Notch has done so far.
Jeb has been head developer for... what, a month and a half? Somewhere around there. I don't view that as enough of a time-frame to judge Jeb fully. I like that he listens to the community more, but overall his implementations haven't been any better than what Notch has added. People just like to have someone to blame for all their problems.

Notch: Idea, initiator, creator
Jeb: Improver, better manager
That pretty much sums up Notch.
Notch tweets about how every mob came from eggs- the community finds it stupid
Jeb adds mob eggs- the community finds it awesome
lets just say, what if jeb was the one who added the dragon? would people still hate it?
what it Notch added the Jungle? would people still love it?
lets reflect on that for a minute :wink.gif:
Wow, that was a good one.
But I will never.
NEVER.

I was never trying to start a flame war over Notch, but I guess that's what turned out...
Sig'd.

Notch was talking about eggs in SSP thats why everyone hated the idea
Notch was implying that all animal breeding would involve eggs... which is stupid. Cows. Pigs. Wolves. Eggs. No.
Using eggs to spawn mobs in Creative Mode, however, is an actual good idea.
