If you had even glanced through the thread, instead of skipping over the pages, you will have noticed that we continue to get people ignoring what this thread is about -- their post is usually questioning the discussion, pointing out how interesting the mountains are in their <insert seed here> map, and that we just need to try more seeds until we find an interesting one. They completely ignore the fact that this thread is less about how interesting or random or tall the mountain biomes can be, and more about how dull and repetitive all of the other biomes are. Their continued use of mountain biomes as examples of what is "interesting" about their seeds just reinforces my opinion that something is really wrong with the terrain generator.

And no offense, but calling people "kiddo" can easily be construed as talking down to them, and will result in nothing but more and more forum users responding negatively to your posts.

My point in the post above the post were you start with "Mod API kiddos!" is that pistons and redstone could be improved so they are x10 better than they are now, possibly with more functionality.
Or that there are a few blocks that added could open up possibilities to redstone and pistons.

Dynamic redstone + moving blocks more than one block away (with an equal and opposite on/off operation, as it should be.) + pulling more than one block + more

Isn't making something x3 (or more) more revolutionary better than adding something else equally revolutionary (as what was not made better)?

Well, calling the person you are talking to "kiddo" is kind of a dumb thing to do. Not reading the thread and therefore not understanding*, what people are having an issue with isnt smart either.If you want your opinion to be respected, that is. But hey, its not my problem when you put yourself in a negative light by saying dumb things. So have fun...
/discussion with you

*which is evident by this "My latest world has a nice mountain range near the spawn and there are several mountains that dot the landscape around the spawn. I'll admit that I miss seeing those sand mountains but other then that I've had some pretty extraordinary seeds but I've had a few that were a little lack-luster. So try again. You'll get lucky. " Its not about there being "nice mountain ranges" or not. Its about lack of variety in the terrain. Also this wont change with any seed, since the current worldgen is not able to create this variety. Understand now?

condescending attitude + lack of understanding of the topic + lack of interest in the topic = negative reaction . If you cant grasp that, well then i cant help you.

Quote from Mattressi

Bahahaha! A 17-year-old calling people kiddo! "Fight for the OP's bravado"! Where do you come up with this stuff? :laugh.gif:

Jeb should also add tables, I get annoyed to hell hearing those pressure plates activate and deactivate all the time while in the village.

Quote from KyoShinda

This will probably be added when they finish the villages, along with blacksmith repair because of those pics in the jar folder(gui>slot).

Quote from insomniac_lemon

Well I am glad about this. I am interested in learning Java (I am a programmer, but could never wrap

my head around it), so I think I will even make basic mods. But that doesn't mean Mojang should just finish the API and move on. I am sure that the modding API will most frequently be used to add new tools, items, basic blocks, mobs, entities, changes in existing variable/game mechanics and the like (as well as copy-written fan content Mojang would be sued for adding, and unrealistic changes), some things a basic, straightforward and functional enough that it should be added to the core game.

Take the piston mod? Should it have stayed a mod? No. But it loses a lot of use without chaining.

What about launching? That is good that it was left out. I tried the mini-mod that re-added chaining, but unfortunately launching too, and I died several times because I kept getting fall damage from getting thrown so high up.

So, pretty much: if it it realistic, balanced, uniform with Minecraft's style, and has no

unavoidable undesirable inevitable effects, and serves a needed purpose, it should be added.
I feel that if you rely on community content to add things that should be added to the core game, you split a player base that was already spread out due to the level of choice Minecraft gives you. I guess if Mojang had access to the mods, and could clean, optimize, and implement some them into the core game (while not removing why they are awesome), that would sweeten the deal.

Also, mods need the ability to be packaged in a .zip file and be read along with a texture pack.

Minecraft should tell the user if a texture pack includes code changes/mods, and what the mods can do, at the very least giving texture packers to change how textures are loaded/mapped.

So? how do some hills in the forest biomes make up for the scenic landscapes generated in the old generator?
And before you call people "kiddo"...Your lack of any intelligent contribution to a thread you dont want to read puts whom in the "kiddo" position? (hint: Its you) :wink.gif:

Quote from Stapledon

Whatever happened to wall mountable objects like clocks and plaques for displaying items and weapons on walls? Were they ruled out as a bad idea or were they just forgotten?

The reason I'm asking is so that maybe we can make a list of things and suggest them at Jeb.

Quote from ChaosGuardian

Sorry, "kiddo", but if you would at least read some of the thread, you would realize the only thing that positively separates itself from the boring terrain are mountain biomes. And even those aren't so special. They lack trees and even they are repetitive. Everywhere else is DULL and every seed looks the same.

:facepalm: If you would look through this thread you would see that... well, never mind, I give up.
