there needs to be female villagers now, the villagers have turned gay. The males should only have sex with females.
To this poster and the others saying things like how the idea of the villagers mating being 'gross' and whatnot, do remember that Minecraft attracts all sorts of people, including LGBT players. I suggest being a bit more aware of how your words make you sound.
Also, keep in mind that the villagers and all the other mobs don't really have genders at all. People are assuming that they're male because they don't have any overtly female characteristics (except for the cows with udders), but that's in their imagination and isn't anything hard-coded in the game (it's also male privilege showing, but that's another can of worms). True, cows have udders, and chickens lay eggs, but they also breed together, so those aren't proof of binary gender in the game. The player's character has been referred to as "Steve", but that's just a name and there's nothing else to suggest that the character is a "he", a "she", a hermaphrodite, trans- or cis-gendered, intersex, or any of the above. And that's okay.
So, my point is that the current breeding system works, and I don't see why it should be a priority for the Mojang team to spend development time on complicating the code so they can placate people who're projecting their real-world prejudices onto the game.
And yes, it's just a game. So chill out.
TL;DR - People having issues with the villagers breeding: Quit it with the gay panic or just pretend one of them's a flat-chested woman, and move on.
Why doesn't anyone notice this update has some shitty lighting? I'm playing SMP with this snapshot and the lighting is terrible. There is no shadows, and torches inside caves are inverted.
Guess they might have something special planned for Spider AI's, they still have their original AI. They didn't try to avoid drops/lava when I did a small test :tongue.gif: Passive animals avoided everything though, no more stupid animals Lol (and no more dead pet Wolves walking into lava ...still won't stop them pushing YOU in though :tongue.gif:)
In Fact, underground lightning is affected by day light.
Also, lamps are not too utile unless there's a redstone circuit above it.
Also, they clear snow in a radius around then.
And people, Zombies don't BREAK doors in Easy/Normal, they OPEN it. It was said that they'd only BREAK on hard. Nothing wrong here.

Hilarious!
I like how if somebody finds it a bit odd that children are springing forth out of two male-looking characters, it's immediately considered "gay panic". I'm sure there was no anti-gay implications from the people suggesting female villagers, just as there is probably no pro-gay agenda for Notch making them all male... Just technical reasons and time constraints, probably.
I'd like to see female villagers, if only for the visual variety. And also for the babies to look like children instead of shrunken villagers. It would just be more interesting.
There is a bug in the caves. When it is day time the caves are lit up. Night time everything goes dark. Not sure where I was suppose to post this so I put it here.

And also, zombies are killing little ones too, so it's harder.
A thought occurred to me after reading this part of KakarottoYo's earlier post - I wonder how the fact that villager infants can die will affect Minecraft's ESRB rating? I know Minecraft isn't ESRB rated yet, and no doubt most of us here don't really care much about the ratings, but I'm still curious.
If I remember correctly, ESRB concerns over being able to kill children in-game (and an inability to realistically prevent that action) was the main reason why Bethesda didn't include children in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion at all and aren't letting players kill children in Skyrim. And in The Sims games, infants and toddlers are taken away by social workers instead of dying, no doubt for ESRB reasons too.
So I'm curious as to how Mojang would work around this if they had to. Maybe give villager infants a mythical 'shield' that absorbs damage inflicted by monsters and the player?
Now that they have built in a way to select a map type (flat vs normal), perhaps it would be good to allow a player to specify a water level height. This way... if you want just 64 height of airspace but a massive 192 blocks worth of underground, great. If you want, 10 blocks of ground and room for the Empire State Building above, no problem.
Although, I can see how this might complicate the world gen algorithms for some of the more funky combinations...

I was responding more to thesetwo posts, not to people who just think it looks "a bit odd", which I'd agree with. I don't think "ew gay" comments are a good way to articulate that thought.

I wouldn't mind gendered villagers (and infants that look like infants) either, for the same reasons you mentioned - it'd add visual variety. I just doubt it's a high development priority to implement them solely because some players want the villagers to seem "less gay".
no wait, i just realized they aren't adult villagers.

Either way, 256 build height is AWESOME!
i think that zombies will attack them, i read it in the wiki
