Enderman is too hard notch now, so like omg it can take 4 hits of diamond and what I hate is they don't go away. And its hard not to look at them... think about it notch it is not fair if your playing hardcore and an anderman is blocking your way.

i could not stop myself

Introduction

I think there is a little too much humor going to be present in minecraft when 1.9 comes out. I don't believe Notch is taking it seriously what-so-ever and it's just going to kill my experience in minecraft, a game which had much potential and respect. Instead of convincing people to buy the game now, I'm telling them to wait because I don't feel Notch is at the right state of mind at the moment. Humor is appreciated but not so much as in to ruining the general quality of the game.

Jokes in Patch 1.9

Snow Golem

- Renamed to escalate the joke.
- Made only because he was "frustrated".
- Could of been working on another mob, like a baby animal.
- Doesn't fit the theme of minecraft at all.

NPCs

- Look graphically bad when compared to the rest of minecraft.
- Have a humorous look that makes you not even take a village seriously or the game for that matter.
- Jeb stated that they are not planning on changing their look anytime soon.

Baby Animals

- Have big heads.

Possible Solutions

Each point is a different solution.

Snow Golem

- Make it a snowman and keep it as a decoration.
- Have it only be available during the holidays.
- Make it look like an actual snow golem which will spawn naturally rather than being crafted.

NPCs

- Make them look like a regular villager.
- Have them look like pigmen, like they were supposed to be.

Baby Animals

- Shrink their heads.

Reminder: This Is Feedback

I actually like many of the new additions in patch 1.9. However, don't forget that Notch has asked us for feedback. So I don't feel it's right for anyone to attack or judge me for doing what was asked to be done. It's part of the processes of building up a game. Positive feedback doesn't help Notch polish the game.

We'll do a 1.9 pre-release today, and a full release after feedback. More Adventure Mode content will come in 1.10, we're splitting it up!

Seriousness Vs. Realism

The opposite of realistic, is not serious. No way, shape, or form, did I touch upon the topic of realism. However, that seems like a big topic among this thread and I get bashed for it. When I ask for a game to be serious, I ask for updates that will require some actual time and thought. For example, a snow golem was created due to Notch's frustration. Clearly he did it for fun, and there was no serious time or thought into it.

If you're going to add something into the game, it needs to be well thought out and reasonable. It may be humorous, but it shouldn't ruin the quality of the game. Above are three things that ruin the quality of the game. That does not mean that minecraft is garbage or that I hate the game.

Disagreeing: How To Not Respond

- Telling me this isn't my game.
- Telling me that this game is in beta.
- Insulting my thread.
- Insulting me.
- Telling me to not update my game.
- Implying that I talked about realism.
- Telling me to stop complaining.
- Telling me not to use these features.

Not only do these contribute nothing to my thread, they're just useless comments that have already been said.

Hahahahahah. Funny. Although I never whined about anything. I basically told all the ungrateful haters to **** off. Last time I checked I didn't worship notch. I do really love this game though and I think notch is a genius for coming up with such a unique and satisfying game.

You're right on all counts. I do too love this game, and think Notch is quite creative. I do wish the actual haters would please come back with an intellectual viewpoint and elucidation to match. But you're confusing anyone who disagrees with you as a hater, and by posting this extreme nonsense, you're not making anything better.

You're making it worse.

*edit* And apparently the mods agree because they made you change your topic title and most of your op.

I agree 100%, why the crap do they look like that? There should be 2 types of villages: Human Villages and Pigmen Villages

I did a second similar set for those who are either; tyrannical overlords wanting to rule their subjects with an iron fist; or righteous lone warriors purging Mincraftia of its evil nations. This skin pack would look great against a dark texture pack.




I included some preview thumbs of the textures so you can get an idea what the butcher and villager look like. As you can see the priest is now an evil wizard, the smith has an eye patch, the butcher is covered in blood, the farmers have short jackets, the villagers have open coats, and the librarian is now an old witch/hag.

When I first heard about the Endermen, I was impressed, to say the least. At first I thought they would be horrible monsters that would tear down every one of our houses. Then the update comes out, I come home to my house and guess what I find? 3 Endermen, who have taken a total of 2 cobblestone blocks from my wall; can you guess what I did then? Instead of immediately deleting my world and running off to the forums to write 200 topics on how the Endermen are the worst idea ever and how I'm never going to play Minecraft again, I killed them, and replaced 2 blocks. It only took me around 2 seconds. My point is that Endermen are a great addition to the game, they add challenge and mystery. I don't need a stupid fake myth like Herobrine, or a shitty mod that adds "him", to the game in order to feel a sense that there is someone else out there. The Endermen add backstory to the game, they explain why dungeons, abandoned mines, NPC villages, and strongholds exist. They explain why Nether portals are 3 blocks high, their very presence in the world is explained by the absence of the Far Lands. Their building abilities make me feel like I've got something closer to an equal than a mindless creeper or skeleton, we shouldn't take their building away, we should improve it! We should allow them to build structures, not just random piles. I think it would be much more fun going up against an Endermen castle, then walking across a pile of dirt. I'm just tired of all these people who are constantly whining about how Endermen are destroying their entire castles, they're either too lazy to build a wall and maintain it, or even to just put a moat around their house. I swear Endermen are the weakest mob ever, sun, water, rain, fire, and lava all hurt them. They're easier to kill than pigs, because pigs can run away. Are we really taking away challenge and diversity for something as retarded as Mooshrooms? It's like Notch is slowly taking all challenge away from this game, and steering it towards 8 year-olds who delete their world every time a creeper blows up.

For those who can't survive the highly dangerous reading, here's the short version:

Notch is giving into whiners and destroying a great ability of a new mob, so they will be rendered pretty much pointless. In the process dumbing the game down to oblivion.

Maybe I'm over-reacting, maybe no one will care what I say, maybe everyone here will flame me, maybe people will like the game when it's just simply less mysterious, maybe when the nerf comes, it won't completely destroyed. But I just had to say this. Does anyone agree with me?

Anyone will tell you that aether is mostly reskins. The aether itself? Based off nether coding.

Bunch of reskins? Seriously, what the ****? Aether adds like a whole new game. You call boss fights reskins? Flying mounts? There are so many things that aren't based on anything. Try the mod for yourself when you obviously know nothing about it. And it's not based of Nether. It's based on the skylands made by Notch. I don't know where you heard this but NO ONE will tell you the aether is. just a bunch of reskins.

Hey gang,

I know the NPC's are a tad polarizing round about these parts. So, for funs I whipped up a pack you can download that makes all the NPC's 1) Noseless 2) Radical 3) Human.

I have replaced all the textures, you just need to overwrite the existing textures in the mobs folder in the .jar. It only took me a few min to find them when I started and this is the first texture pack I've ever painted... So I imagine if you care, you can manage.

I could only find the four NPC types in the two villages in my level. If someone can find the regular Villager (now female in my pack) or the Butcher, please take screenshots and post them!

CHECK IT OUT! The pic is a link to my blog where you can snatch the download link!



Comments, Suggestions, Critique all welcome.

NOT PIGMEN! Anyone tired of not having any other humans on single player? I am, and I'm sick of variants of pigs. How bout some Humans with new textures. Yes?
