The OP is a complete idiot. You don't pay for the updates so you can't whine about them.
He's not going to forget his own ideas because someone thought about it and made it first. That's ridiculous.
It's his game and he's going to add whatever features he likes.
He can also get in trouble if he liberally takes what he can from mods so that's also a reason why he hasn't done it.
Adding finished mod content already available makes him more "lazy" than if he creates the feature himself. Yet you children keep whining that he's lazy no matter what. God damn it all. This is why he doesn't read these forums.
You paid for updates when you paid for the game... did you forget the stipulation that, depending on when you registered, you were also entitled to all future updates?
I'm not really harping on him per se, it's just it a could have/would have situation. It *could have* been so much better, as those of us that have played and used mods for a long time can attest to, if he *would have* implemented some changes that we see on other, already released items. And it has already been pointed out that Mojang essentially owns intellectual property rights on any mod that comes out per their policy, so it's not like he could have really gotten in trouble for nabbing SPC and tearing some code out of there.
Again, I understand it is his/Mojang's vision for what the game can and will be. Take it as constructive criticism. For someone that has been using these various mods SPC/TMI/WorldEdit since they came out, I was really excited to see Creative make a proper return, with hopefully the new upgraded powers that MineCraft has been proven capable of for such a long time. But instead it's basically a downgrade to MineCraft Classic with a fly mod and TMI. I know TMI doesn't give you unlimited items, insta-mine etc... but it's basically what it is. I know I still have SPC and I still use those now that I've seen where Creative has gone with this update. I was just looking forward to having a proper, developer-supported portion of the game dedicated to those that really want to build ridiculous structures, rather than having every proper tool (well, if you really want to be efficient with your work space that is) still built by the community, that is all.
Again, just my thoughts and some constructive criticism. I really do like the fact that Creative is back, I just wish it really gave you the tools to make the world what you want it to be, at least in a semi-timely manner.
I have noticed this as well. I was entering random seeds yesterday looking for a new level to build a sweet castle/sky-bridge (thinking about the Mountain biome) and at one point I got random-dropped on a desert island. I immediately pulled my fog all the way out on distance, put my SPC fly speed to 20, and took off. I flew for like 10 minutes before I made landfall on what "appeared" to be a mostly solid mass. I don't know if maybe it was bad luck to just have a bunch of ocean biomes chain together on my seed or if it was really that massive. But at a speed of 20 I would guess I cover about 16 blocks a second (accounting for frame drops for chunk loading) which would make the length of area I crossed around 8,000-10,000 blocks (I never bothered to look at coordinates prior to flying off so I can't give a more exact figure). Still, that's pretty ridiculous. And the land mass I came up on was a flat Plains biome. At that point I just closed and deleted the save file for that map, it was pretty clear it wasn't what I was looking for. :wink.gif:
I would agree with the OP, although not such a stance on Notch. I mean, not to rag on Notch or anything, as its good to see Creative mode back, but as it's pointed out it's essentially just old Creative with a GUI update to be like TooManyItems and realistically not that good of a fly mode. And I know it's there decision to make how they want, so leave that argument out of any replying posts. Sure, it's nice. But as soon as it was updated I had my Single Player Commands installed with WorldEdit and TooManyItems. I mean, honestly it's true. They could have just copy-pasted a large portion of SPC/WorldEdit/TMI and made them play nice with each other (fix the "give [xxxx]" error in SPC when TMI is installed) and had a truly powerful creative system that would be developer supported, rather than the community still supporting the majority of really useful and well-made creative tools.
