Note: Removing the block that you spawned on, and not placing a block back (So if there is no block on your spawn point) then dieing may spawn you elsewhere as it is too small to pick a spawn close by. So it will spawn you on the mainland, and it will be impossible to get back. Be careful! (This problem is fixed for the versions that are above this spoiler.)

"How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"
This is a very simple fix. To stop your water from re-freezing, as this is in a Tundra (snow) biome, simply place a block above your water source, or a torch next to the source. There are alternative downloads for the level.dat file, but this will eliminate a challenge and therefore you can't complete them all.

"How do I light a Nether portal without Flint & Steel?"
This is very simple to do, but it may take a few tries. The basic idea is to get your lava to light a piece of wood or something else flammable, and have the fire spread through the portal frame so it ignites, therefore activating it.
Step-by-step guide by iiTzWho
Step-by-step guide by iiTzWho
How to light the portal without Flint & Steel
It is actually really easy, if the wood burns out before it lights, try again
The rest will be in spoilers, each step in a separate spoiler
First Step
First, set up the portal (I wasn't in SkyBlock for this, therefor had 14 obsidian not 10)
Second
Set up the wood, and a little barrier so the lava doesn't go everywhere
Third
Place the lava down, let it catch fire to one of the planks, then grab it back up
Fourth
Both planks should be burning..
Fifth
The portal should be lit, if not - try again
Hope this helped somehow, good-luck with SkyBlock
TL;DR - Set up portal, put wood at base and back of portal, light wood at base, let it spread to back, BAM portal lit.
[/media]
"How do I get gold ingots?"
Go to the Nether (with guide above) and make a platform there for zombie pigmen to spawn on. Kill them for gold nuggets. Once you have 9 gold nuggets, place them in a crafting table in a 3x3 fashion, which creates one gold ingot.

The arbitrarily selected "release date" prevented a lot of important polishing from happening. It would have been much better to select a list of features that needed to be finalized and when nearing the completion of that list to plan for a release.
Of special note I would say the world building code should have been polished up much better than it is so that content released post launch would be backwards compatible. Every significant change to that portion of the code flatlines old worlds and forces resets of multiplayer servers.
1
The primary world data hasn't changed. The world will generally look the same in pre5 as it has in the rest of 1.9. There are some minor changes I've noticed in a seed I regularly use to test new content: I didn't spawn in a tree, a pond disappeared, a cave entrance disappeared and another one changed slightly. While I didn't spawn in a tree (I moved diagonally 1 block from previous spawn), a sheep and a pig still did.
1
Unfortunately it's not really possible for one version of the world builder to line up with another version, because the map is procedurally generated. Any significant change, like adding a biome, is going to make it impossible for differing versions to produce the same map from a seed.
This is generally my major concern regarding the world building code as well. People are not going to be so accepting of major changes to the map generation after launch as in the beta phase. That's why I've been a strong proponent of getting this aspect of the game polished sooner rather than later.
Many people do not want to cobble together parts of different worlds, or have a long list of save files for each project, and SMP servers benefit greatly from having a long lived consistent world. All these things push us in the direction of getting the world building code into a genuinely finalized state.
1
Yes, they do. There are not as many instances of Snow biome as there are of other biome types, but Snow is much larger than most.
Examples
The Snow biome is now just like the Plains biome, with snow on it.
2
I would say that the color tones of the foliage is much more realistic that it used to be. The old color scheme was ridiculously vibrant with "radioactive" green trees and grass, back when there was only one kind of tree.
As for a literal interpretation of the complaint, grey is found in bare Stone and Mushroom biome, brown foliage is only found in Desert. You are trying to say that your world is dominated by bare stone, Mushroom, and Desert? I would think that highly unlikely.
It sounds like a "problem" solved with a texture pack.
1
That "code" is called a save file. You can make a backup pretty easily. If you delete your own files, it's hardly anyone elses failure.
1
Awesome, now I have a use for all that Redstone. I can finally build with it instead of filling piles of double chests with powder I don't want.
It would be nice if the graphic didn't change to a pig (I assume its just the miniature, not the spawn effect changing). It has always seemed odd to have spawners exist but make them immutable - the only thing close to that was bedrock (and the new End portal) which actually had a reason to be that way. In that past Iv'e ignored them, because I didn't want to wander all over the place just to get to spawners, but if I can place them where I'd prefer once found, they're far more useful now.

Because they invented the concept of having the moon appear different. Or was it werewolves, yeah, they came up with that too.
1
They still spawn on sunlit grass like they used to, just at a much lower (1/400) rate than they used to.
The respawn rate does need to come up some, how much in numerical terms is hard to say. I think if we got one new animal every couple MC-days, that would be much more reasonable a natural respawn/breeding rate than what we have now.
Alternatively, the horny mode (+hearts) should be a state the animals can naturally acquire at a rate that would occasionally produce offspring. To prevent the wild populaitons from going extinct in existing chunks.

I'm more concerned with the color of my bed than the color of a line around my wolves necks.
