I see potential for a TF2 style payload map in the future!
TNT minecarts. can help mining maybe? drop it on the track and wait for the boom rather than punch and run?
Bottom line, if I was able to run a game when I got it, there is an expectation that the system requirements will continue to be what they were when I made the decision to get the game. If they aren't, and I'm suddenly no longer able to play after an update, I am going to be rightfully upset, as I had no way of knowing what kind of hardware the game would take to run in the future.
Actually that's the opposite of the truth. When you bought the game, you bought what they had at that time. Everything afterward is a bonus, and optional to you. You are never required to update your game, and if you are concerned that updating will slow down your machine you should keep backups of the jar file.The other 95% of us who like updates and have computers that can run them don't want Minecraft development to stagnate so you can run it on your 2001 PowerPC.Or would you prefer Mojang do what other game developers do, and release "MineCraft 2012" and "MineCraft 2013" etc every year and charge $60 for it each time? That sounds like a better deal to me.
Ok... this update is pretty epic. Bout time that we can use the faithful 32 and other quality packs without having to patch the client. There's still something missing though... 2 things actually IMHO...
COAL/CHARCOAL Blocks - I can't tell you how much coal I leave behind exploring because of this lack of block.
Option for less Caves/Ravines in otherwise vanilla and large biome world types. Would really like to start playing Minecraft again instead of Cavecraft.
Yeah, it's such a trauma to open up a folder with 100's of image files...forget about discontinuing texture packs, we'll sure see a lot of suicides because of that.
Once again, the stupidness of the Universe wins over intelligence.

If you are dat' lazy, then don't make tp, simple as that.
Question on the use of the hopper with furnaces. How does it handle buckets of lava since there would be an empty bucket? Can you only use it with coal and charcoal?

Haha you're joking right. Guess I should get out my apple mac II and then call and yeall at apple, telling them it should be compatible with all of today's technology.
The changelog you post here on the forum is boring and we don't get enough information. Why not just put a link to the wiki? http://www.minecraft...opment_versions
..or i'll just copy & paste it in here:
Textures for blocks and items now have individual image files.

I found a couple of bugs in the new snapshot. The first is every door handle faces to the left on the inside & to the right on the outside. Also, the particles for the wooden door are white instead of the typical brownish color.
Reading these comments I can't help but notice that anyone who has anything negative to say at all about a feature in the snapshot is most often met with immediate hatred and left unconsidered. Actually, in hiensight this seems to apply to any update about he game in general I'm gonna try to be a bit positive and negative about some of this snapshots features.
I feel like the texture pack change was a poor attempt to make it simpler. While this might be a simple solution for the texture artist for Minecraft default, who only needs to add or change a few block textures in a snapshot, a texture pack artist from the community has to sort through the various files now. This may however open up some possibilities for modders. What really concerns me is the risk of this creating more unnecessary lag. I admit I am not a programer, but from my perspective, it seems less efficient to load multiple files at once constantly than to pick from one large one. If anyone knows about this please let me know.
I don't believe skeletons need knew AI. Combat in Minecraft is already lackluster, "because you're supposed to build around mobs" so that level of difficulty seems unfair.
Death message changes are unnecessary and don't really add to the game. Just a thing that exists I suppose.
I like the quartz blocks, though I wish there were less varieties only because other blocks do not have the same amount of variety for the same object and it is very inconsistant. I also wish the texture wasn't so flat, though the color is nice.
Side note, the texture for nether quartz ore is horrible and needs to die. A lot of newer ones do.
The hoppers new features are nice, but I wish the hopper had a different design so it would make sense when things where traveling from left to right.
TNT carts are cool I guess. Though I know for a fact its from a mod.
Overall the update feels like it goes in too many directions. A single focus that is more polished would have probably provided something better suiting for the game.
This method will consume a lot more RAM and will cause the game to lag a LOT more. I know because I've just updated my 128x sonic pack (WIP) and I am literally moving 1 block per second. So, people like me with less advanced graphics processors will suffer from this update.

I'm (sorta) back, and with better grammar and more maturity.
Looks like some of the textures are getting pulled from the wrong files, Someone already mentioned the dispenser face being replaced by the unlit furnace but the inventory images of the furnace and the dispenser both show only sides and top, no distinguishing characteristics. The cauldron is messed up too, the "inside" posts on all interior walls instead of the floor of the cauldron, and the "bottom" posts on the floor of the cauldron and again at the bottom of the feet. Looks pretty silly in game.
Also, at the mention of the quarts having "too many" different iterations Sandstone has exactly the same number of iterations and stone bricks have more. As a builder and someone who makes their own texture pack, I find the new quarts to be too light with too little contrast but other than that I could not be happier. Rather than saying that quarts has too many iterations, I am more inclined to believe that other blocks have too few iterations. *snip*
Someone else said they can't find the redstone torch, It's in texture, then Blocks, and it's called "redtorch" and "redtorch_lit"
Edit: Well hurp me while I'm durpin... They did add quarts half slabs... I'm so flippin excited XD
Separate textures are a bad idea / nuance. Updating texture packs now became a headache. Now you have to open 100 + files to update / change a texture pack. I can see allot of texture packs being discontinued because of this.
You cannot possibly think that this is how it will be handled.

Let me rephrase this a little more. There are allot of people out there who do texture pack work who would prefer the easy way of opening 1 file with all the textures opposed to the new 1 file per texture. With manually having to convert your texture pack taking longer Makers will also have to also deal with all the "Where is the update". "Please update". I'm pretty sure people have discontinued projects before and will do again.
The ONLY thing I don't like is that you have to open individual texture 1 at a time. I have yet to find a editing program where I could open multiple files at once.
After watching a Seth bling video about the update I would have to change my view on this. Finding out that you can actually animate any texture you want with the simple txt file this small Inconvenience just became a advantage.
The Mojang Team should add glass stairs and glass slabs + a Mirrorblock!
I, personally, would love a mirror block *-* Imagine how greatly they could be used in adventure maps! Glass houses would be very nice also! I'd love a glass slab staircase ^^
Why would this hamper HD Textures? This makes it EASIER, by not having to have those TERRIBLE spreadsheets (I have hated them for a long time!), instead you have individual, small files, so having a texture pack that only edits a very small number of items/blocks (say, an armor texture pack! or, just an ores texture pack, etc etc) just got incredibly easy!
Beacuse usually, easier translates to less effort, which translates into worse quality. There are two sides to each coin.
