Because, you know, you CLEARLY cant just ignore them while playing the current version. Obviously, you HAVE to make potions, for instance, or your guy catches on fire after an hour of game time.

Really, the only one you cant COMPLETELY ignore is the food bar, and in all honesty, THAT is there to balance the game and stop stupid heal-spam. If you NEED to heal-spam to survive, well.... time to learn the game better instead, perhaps.

"So dumb" is ignoring all of the new stuff because it "sounds like an RPG" or some dumb crap like that, particularly without even trying and experimenting with it.

Congratulations.

U mad bro?

I personally love the adventure update except for one teensy-eensy detail. I can't play single-player anymore on this junk computer D:

my favorite update to minecraft would of had to have been the blocks, without them minecraft would be nothing!
literally.

I think my favorite update so far has been 1.8 where they added food stacking+meter, experience and other cool neat stuff with the lighting engine and ravines.

My favorite addition was... Smp ya me and my friends killing each other is fun.. and taking each others diamonds is fun too.

Yes! More noteblock instruments!

I hope after release they add the new sound effects to mobs and walking on certain blocks. And on top of that, some actual ambient sounds, like wind at high places or during snow storms, quieter rain, birds and birds chirping, something to fill in the blankness the world has sound-wise (with music off especially.)

Yeah, can't think of many others than Valve with TF2 constantly, Portal 2's free DLC, and L4D1/2's free for PC.

so a code freeze, does this mean the game will be all made of snow?

Minecraft went through many ups.....downs but more ups
I loved 1.5 with weather and better preformence... sadly that no longer apply thanks to 1.8
But beds and wolves was great
The biomes was the best... though iwish heouldve mad more biomes
And though i was looking forword to sky dimention but i guess the end is ok
but MINECRAFT is and always EPIC
and guys there not ganna be a 1.9 everything else is ganna be in official release (aka Minecraft 1.0 or just minecraft)

wait... does this mean there is no more modding? because if so, that SUCKS! I'll keep 1.8 if that's true, the community's modding is one of the best parts of the game, and without Optifine I'd have problems running it to begin with.

I would really LOVE to know how did you manage to get that to that conclusion, 'cause I'm trying and trying, and there's no way for me to figure it out :/

I'm going to miss all those pre-releases and updates. I still can't wait to see what minecraft will look like in its final forum though.

A code freeze - It's odd to think that this could be the end of all the fun, with the updates and the odd exploitable glitches . . . and the stuff that I swore at, at the time, but now fondly remember. Could it really be?
Favourite thing? Too hard to list them all. It's a great game. . . bugs and all. Thanks Notch and Team Mojang. . . and Happy Belated Birthday too.

Oh no is can't come out yet the boats and minecarts need fixing in Multiplayer. And Boats need a Upgrade don't release the game yet

Nothing in the game works! -deletes everything from Minecraft.jar- I can't even get it to start! Don't release yet!


Also, everyone worried about not getting updates in the future because you bought Beta, this is from the wiki:

Although beta purchasers will get the full game but it is not guaranteed

Quote from Sacheverell

In software jargon, a code freeze is essentially a tight set of restrictions placed on what can be added to game code

No one is getting 1.9 ever! At Minecon he's releasing Minecraft 1.0 (without the Alpha or Beta label, the first full release), and 'at Minecon it's being released' does NOT mean 'got to Minecon to get it', all it means is 'he's pulling the metaphorical switch that releases the code into the wild while he's at Minecon'.

Also (moved from the post below, apologies for doubleposting):

Quote from RickCrafter

quote from one other poster, and a quote from the OP, referring to the definition of a 'code freeze' and the misguided idea that it means 'no more modding' - snipped

The code freeze is more 'they're limiting themselves by choice' than 'they're changing the code in such a way that it can't be altered no matter what'.

EDIT: And by 'limiting themselves by choice' I mean 'deciding that, no matter what awesome idea they come up with, they won't change any code other than to fix bugs and polish existing features'.

Sorry, forgot I was the last one to post. Moving what used to be in this post into my last post now.

Also, everyone worried about not getting updates in the future because you bought Beta, this is from the wiki:

I keep hearing different things: On one thing beta buyers got the game as is as a discount(plus the full release) and the other saying you'll still have to buy the full game at release(after minecon) so to me I hope it's the former cause I'll be very upset if I have to spend an additional 15 dollars for the full 1.0 update. :sad.gif:
