Seriously without beaches, the game feels very different. On all my alpha worlds, I have discovered that I tended to make my houses on the beach and now it just feels weird...

good post and i agree on most of your points. i liked the gravel and sand beaches - however in previous versions i feel there was too many of them... an now there's too few. it needs balance.

the water floors did look better in previous versions, however resources are more easily attainable now. its a trade off. personally this really doesnt bother me a whole lot. at least there is a reason for it - unlike scrapping the beaches.

the worst part is i imagine these changes will be permanent because to change the terrain generation code would cause everyone post 1.0.0 to have to generate new maps. i believe pre 1.8 maps did look a lot better for your reasons and other reasons as well that you didnt mention, but i highly doubt there will be any changes made. :sad.gif:

Actually, changes to the terrain generation code are coming, according to Jeb. That is good, and there will be backwards-compatibility to maps generated using whatever version of the terrain generator the map used.

All I'm hoping is that 1.7 maps will get this backwards-compatibility, not just 1.8 maps and on. That seems rather unlikely though.

I am also in favor of this. I loved walking along beaches in 1.7 and before and finding awesome gravel beaches. I also noticed the underwater bedding, hoping somebody would make a topic about it. It looks horrible and splotchy!

I want them back too, mainly because if you don't have a desert nearby it makes a 64 stack of glass harder to obtain than redstone. That's just not right...

I think beaches are one of the many things I would like to see back in the terrain generator ... and they are not even on the top of my list.

The bottom of water bodies should probably be more similar to how it was pre 1.8 except maybe the floor should vary between dirt/clay/sand/gravel/stone etc. The random spots should probably go.

When no one was looking, the Endermen took forty blocks.
They took 40 blocks. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s horrible.

I would need beaches and gravel beaches to return besides where can I get high amounts of gravel and sand without digging down to bedrock, with my kind of luck, and hopefully not get blown up by a creeper, as they happen often with me.
