In Death Run, players race through a map, overcoming obstacles, avoiding traps and proving their parkour prowess to be the first one to reach the end! Start practising your running skills now, as Death Run on The Hive will be coming to Minecraft very soon."
- The Super Duper Graphics pack, originally slated for a 2017 release, will now launch in 2018.

This comment thread is amazing lol
Since the oceans are getting more content, could we have a simple option of having larger oceans rather than 1000-5000 blocks? (The new boats could use better purpose with it's improvement of travel and I can't find a reason to use boats when I just go around the so called "Oceans" unless I find a rare island large enough.)
I mean, a simple "Ocean Config" of at least three choices on the world creation tab:
"Pangaea" (Current Setting: 1000-10,000 Blocks Wide Great Lakes).
"Narrow Ocean" (Disconnected Land of 60,000-100,000 Wide separated with infinitely long giant rivers 3000-20,000 Blocks Wide).
"Infinite Ocean" (Continents that are 30,000-60,000 or so Wide surrounded with 20,000-50,000 Wide oceans {Guaranteed land without traveling for hours}).
Something other than being forced to experiment at least 1 Million times on "Several 1.XX~ Custom Settings" and having to keep doing it for every potential save.
~But that's just my opinion is what I expect~
That would actually be kind of cool
Would also be pretty cool to see some ocean sub-biomes, like maybe an ocean cave, or a volcanic ocean, kinda like hawaii.
Mob B was my second choice so I'm pretty happy about it.
That's what i wanted!! Great
I hope a mob similar to Mob A get's added in the future.
Considering it's an ocean update, new water mobs are a guarantee
