Mr. Torus I would note that names will and probably have changed for the Biomes
1. Per tweet yesterday Ice Desert is Tundra.
2. Per photo and comment on blog Temperate Rain Forest is probably Swamp now.
3. Per blog comment Grass Desert is probably plains (as you note).
4. Per blog comment/tweet/photo/black magic Woods/Forest/Temperate Forest/Seasonal Forest are all unclear as to what's what.
I am sad that we have no swamps and a lot of forests. Plus grass desert seems redundent with a savanna.
Temperate v. Tropic. Savannah Tropic, Great Plains of US is Temperate grass desert. Of course we don't know what Notch means by grass desert so we'll see.
I think you should put a note that after the DDOS everythng is up in the air for the 31st. If another bad attack happens Notch will have to devote energy to dealing with it instead of coding.
It could very well delay the HU to after the 31st if it continues.
Since P-A was partly responsible for me getting into minecraft - It'd be funny to see deep crows in the game (for the reference just do a penny-arcade search or image search on deep crow).
And it fits the theme of having mobs spawn in the deep places of the earth and then move upward.
Of course people want oceans! who wants to do anything else than getting into a little tiny boat and holding down the "move forward" button for real life hours at a time to get from one side to the other without a trace of land above sea level? sounds like the real deal to me!
Oceans would be nice, but how deep and huge could you possibly want them?
Well I guess the goal is to use bigger player created boats. Not just the tiny crafted boat.
I'd like the option for a server to use an encrypted map and secure client/server communication to prevent hacking on the client side.
I'd love to run a PvP server in the future when SMP is working properly - but it is pointless right now as 1/3 of the playerbase would cheat by using speed/map/view hacks.
In the vein of things I won't be doing after the update - I'm going to ignore the wiki for a while. I like the early WTF is going on feeling - trying to figure out what to do. I'm going to hold off checking the wiki for new blocks and reciepes for at least a week ;-)
Sweet. Now we only need another 1.4 million people and we're set! I thought about it when I read minecraft called punk by some reviewer and others commenting on the return of the voxel...
No, Notch wouldn't do that, thats something the ROBLOX DEVELOPERS would do...
That's what he said on Twitter. Draw your own conclusions.
Mr. Torus as always a :GoldBar:. Sunboy your quote implies to me that you think Notch wouldn't put lantern materials in Hell because that wouldn't be fair. Consider reading more of Mr. Torus' sticky in discussion and note Notch's comments about what he thinks about the term 'fair'. Just my impression from reading the sticky but it seems to me that Notch does not not think Fair = Fun. Something that is fair might be fun, but something that is unfair might be even more fun.
Lantern materials in hell are a good example. It forces everyone to go to hell in SP/SMP - which is what I'm guessing is what he is interested in doing.

I like it. Purple, different, cute and hopefully it can nastily strangle you with those arms.

So I'm hoping that after the HU update he works exclusively on getting SMP and SSP on the same page and we get.....
BETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa
