Minecraft can run on 2 GB of RAM and shouldn't need to use all of that, so adding more RAM won't help at this point.

They were causing crashing, so they added a wall you can't go past instead of trying to rewrite a part of the engine to fix a broken part of the game.

Usually these guys.

Virtually every game out there has horses in it

You're joking, right? I can think of 3 games off the top of my head that have horses in it. You seem to thing that saying that every game has horses in it automatically makes it true, without any source whatsoever. Unless you're counting the barbie horse training games, barely any games have horses in them.

Yes? I mean, no, false... maybe. Maybe almost? Probably.

It makes textures look better at a distance, and at steep angles. it shouldn't affect FPS if only by a few frames.

Far is 16 chunks, normal is 8, short of 4, tiny is 2. In the newest snapshot you can bring the render distance up to 16 again.

Pre 1.7 updates are close to the end of their cycle, and the chance of any more large additions to the update at this point is low.

To short ?
Maybe 1 hour each ?
Should be enough don't you think ?
And yup I might have been a bit sarcastic there...

You should probably just live stream the event, this thing could go on for upwards of 3 hours.

This get's posted every week...

I wonder what the new network coding will do to hacking clients.

Nothing, I doubt.

Red sand... dragon egg... red... dragon... I got it! They're adding a new cake flavor.

I'm fairly sure they are fixing that issue. Rendering had a big overhaul last snapshot.

Well, once they fix portals and ice not rendering water, stained glass will be viable. Chances are is that they would have to rewrite most of the rendering engine just to get transparent blocks to work. If it was an easy fix, I'm sure it would have been done by now.

Have any mods gotten stained glass to work with water, efficiently?

Mojang has already stated stained glass wont be added because of the way it's rendered.

"Cel shading or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make computer graphics appear to be hand-drawn. Cel-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon."

Just outlining the pixels isn't exactly cel shading.
