That was a rant, in my opinion.
Notch doesn't go with the flow, he has quite a plan for what he wants MC to be.

If he was "going with the flow" then he'd have made flyable dragons, obsidian armour, guns and ******** like that.
I respect notch and his plans for MC alot, but there tends to be ALOT of whiners saying "OMG HES SO BAD AT CODING HES SO SLOW BECAUSE 1.9 IS TAKING SO LONG I WANT 1.9 NAO"

Then when 1.9 is released, they whine on and o about how bad it is and everything done wrong with it.

You can tell if a post is a rant if they don't know how to make a line break.

when i say rant i mean bitching and whining, im not doing that.
i also said he was a great coder he isnt slow at all with all these prereleases we can actually see the progress he is making and i would say he has been doing really good at keeping up the pace so he can meet the full release deadline

you guys, he is honest, or atleast he sounds it. I can agree with this partly. Notch doesnt really have a plan for minecraft. He is just going with the flow. Not saying thats bad but it does seem unorganized.

Sorry if i offend anyway. I do love minecraft.

thank you for not being a blind mineboy zealot
im just voicing my opinion and giving a critique of the way Notch makes game this really isnt about minecraft, im sure scrolls with follow the same pattern of developement

I am aware that the game is not finished but i dont think all these problems will be finished when the game is released though, and no i could not make a game as good as minecraft i never said that i could. Notch is way better at making games than i am but i still think he has a lot to learn considering this is his first game. Just beacause something sells really well doesnt mean its good it just means a lot of people bought it. And i will continue to play this game because its my favorite game of all time even though it still has a lot of problems and a lot of time left to grow

Am i the only one who feels that Notch doesnt know how to develope a proper game?

Now im not saying that minecraft is a bad game or that Notch cant make a good game, but it just seems that the way the game is being developed and the way it is designed is kinda poor. Now he is a great coder and programmer who is also very creative and has a lot of great ideas, I sure as hell know i could of never came up with something as big as minecraft. But basic game mechanics, features, and functions seems to be lacking from minecraft. My main point is balance issues. During alpha and early beta the there was a general consensus that the game was too easy, the only real threat was dumb mistakes the player made. Notch then changed the whole fighting mechanics with blocking, sprinting, criticals, and now potions, but the game still seems to be lacking that balance between a real worthy challenge and something that just makes you rage quit. There is more to game then just movement controls a health bar and enemies. How much damage should a swing from a diamond sword do? 3 hearts, 4 hearts, 5? Im not sure what a good number would be but the difference between 4 hearts and 5 could really change the way you play the game. There are a million decisions about making a game that have to be made, how long should you burn from fire, how many items should drop from a mob, what items should drop from a mob, and the list goes on and on. They arent easy choices and i feel Notch doesnt know how to make them

Maybe the whole game will be the way Notch as well as the players intended it to be when its fully released or maybe not. I sure hope so

im no expert but i dont think your terrain generator is working right

i wonder what the texture for the dragon will look like?

i think it should be black

even if your portal for some reasons goes out while your in the nether just get a ghast to shoot a fire ball at it and it will light up again

I say bring back all the old biomes but make them using the new code so that they are bigger...also somebody please tell Notch to make an island biome so we can have coco beans

Thanks my ****ing head hurts now

I miss spawning on a sandy beach :sad.gif:

Lol these forums are hilarious, two topics below this one some says the game is getting to hard

All I have to say to the op is just enjoy the game for what it is and have fun with it

You should be able to cook and eat them and it should give you a small jump height bonus

As long as the game actually has baby animals I don't care what they look like, they could be robotic fetuses or walking wombs, that won't stop me from playing the game

imo it does not make the game harder just more of a challenge because you have to be more careful

Possible explanation:
Ore generation is increased in the area of the world where both the X and Y coordinates are positive and decreased where X and Y are negative
