How can we make Jeb realize that the terrain is a priority issue?

Yes. The beaches need to be fixed. I loved walking along the great beaches. Now that they're "fixed", they're an ugly mess.

I'm not too crazy about the splotchy underwater badness, either.

Meh...more important things to spend development time on....like wooden stairs for all types of wood...Or a bigger height limit....or new mobs....or new pet mechanics....or new mobs....new biomes....new blocks....new items....new tools...all of which i know for a fact (except maybe pet mechanics) do not take up as much time as these things and are more enjoyable than them as well...

JEEEEEEB, WE CAN TOO HAS WATERFALLS?
I mean big@$$ piles of water with caves behind them, not the one-block cave-glitch waterfalls that exist today.

Not what I meant. Beaches should not be biomes.

Ironically, beaches being a biome in the new level format and terrain generator should make it easily editable, at least so that beaches can be restricted to a specific height limit, three (or two?) blocks above sea level as it was prior to Beta 1.8, instead of having ridiculously-tall sand dunes on high coastal areas. Apparently either Jeb is very lackadaisical when it comes to terrain gen coding or having the new fractal-based gen instead of the older noise-based one does not simplify matters as much as Notch and Jeb claimed it would.

Beaches are awesome and should be biomes! A beach in a snow biome should not have snow layer ontop of it...

Wouldn't a large number of ice be present in the water nearby? Seems kind of logical to have snow on the coastline.

Agreed. While we're at it, seaside cliffs with sea caves would be nice.

That depends on the beach. Along a river or pond, yes. In the ocean, no. I live in New England. Even in the coldest winter, there is no snow on the beach, except for a short time during a storm. The tides constantly clear it, the ocean raises the ambient temperature as well, and of course you don't get ice floating in the ocean outside of the arctic or the occasional stray iceberg. Hmm, random icebergs in Minecraft...

I was kind of general. I was replying to the guy who said snow should never be on a beach. There should be a possibility it can happen and a possibility it won't.

I honestly haven't read much of the thread, but would this version of beaches be compatible with the 1.7 version of mods that came before it? I don't know if that would cause compatibility issues with dolphing from mo creatures of coral reefs mod. Almost forgot /signed

Yes. Please god yes!

Glad I don't have to see those ugly piles of sand now that I play with a mod. Seriously, what happened to Minecraft?

I didnt know about Minecraft before 1.8 because I began on the beggining of 1.8 and until 1.9 (Before it was realesed, not 1.0.0) I only played Singeplayer. But I fully agree!.
Of course /Signed

/Signed Yes please! I really want those ugly underwater circles to disappear, that's the biggest thing in whole minecraft that annoys me atm

Yes, definitely

Where was the IRL pic taken?
Also, support. I love the idea of finding a series of Key-like island beaches.

I agree that the underwater geology and the beaches need to be improved. There should be clay that looks like sand or dirt, but has gray spots in it, so it doesn't look as splotchy if all the random circles of dirt and sand are removed, and everything nearby is either sand, dirt, or gravel.
