I don't like this change. I thought a square moon was a really great and creative idea. It totally worked for Minecraft. It's not like it's something I'd quit over. It's just that every time I look up at the moon in Minecraft I say to myself "a square moon. That's freaking awesome. I love Notch so much."
Now it's going to be like this: "Huh. Moon looks kind of crappy. I wish Notch hadn't changed it."
So, because it's not a box thrown together quickly, and actually has some effort placed into it......

You hate it?
You call that effort? If Notch wanted to make the moon look "realistic" he could have done a much better job. I want stylization. And I want focus on gameplay. I really don't give a damn about effort.

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.

He wasn't intentionally making it 'stylized'.
I don't get how it being a cube makes it more stylized than a circle. The phases, it not being a block, etc. That's effort made by Notch to improve the moon. And because he's putting effort into improving an aspect of the game, people are getting ticked off.
Just like whenever he adds ANYTHING to the game. You can't please all of the people all of the time, and you can't please 80% of the forums any of the time.
Well, I've sen it in PR4 and it doesn't look that bad. Now, I agree that square fits better with the square game, but I think we will all get used to it eventually.
ROUND STUFZ? NOZ! THIZ IZ BLOKZ!!! we cant have circles in minecrafT! THAT CRASHES THE GAME!!...
i heard about this one guy...he tried makign a mod. so you can hav a ball! you know..like a sphere? he tested it...the entire town exploded, the power needed to process that was so intense.. :sad.gif: and btw. you can vote if you want square or round. notch is asking. he set up a poll!
This is Ignoring the fact that NEARLY EVERY TEXTURE PACK MAKES THE MOON AND SUN ROUND.
yes tho i am quite used to the Square Moon and Sun... in fact only reecently did i try any textures but defult...
LB Photorealism pack at x256..... im amazed my 5 year old laptop doenst crash instantly when i use it.. does lag a bit tho and eventually it does run out of memory.
oh forgot to mention.. its not acually going to be round.. the image in the texture will just be redone to look round. the acual texture is still square.
This is absurd, why would he do that? It just doesn't fit in with the rest of the game!
EDIT: Moon phases can still be done with a square moon, if it's round then it will all be aquward to look up and see that the sun is round. It will become an annoying joke about the game.
Don't complain about the textures, knowing that you can easily change them back whenever you want.
True, but the phases are the key here. Any square moon is going to have second-rate appearances (at best) becasue it relies soley in the skill of the maker and will not be Notch's handiwork, and it's just going to bug the heck out of alot of players... What would an OCD person think? Hmm...

I was the second person to use the avatar I have. The rest took it from me. The first I asked, he said yes.
I know what I'm doing. I plan ahead, or get tired and screw up everything.

I think the reason why he's making them round is because he's adding moon phases
Because on full moons, zombies are faster, skeletons ride spiders, and most likely other things that Notch hasn't thought of or told us yet.
I'm not spamming whats so ever, I wanted opinions. I wish notch would choose on his own and not let the people decide.
I approve of round moon.

Minecraft will never be the same with round objects in it... :sad.gif:
