Is it just me, or is Minecraft becoming Battlecraft? Yes, it's nice to have something to build against, and almost nobody will tell you that having villages to protect is a bad thing; but I seriously haven't seen much official attention to the actual mining basics of the game.

Agree with that! They're focusing pretty hard on the damn villages, they should release 1.2!

well, i think 1.2 will be like 1.8: long waiting before it is out, but it will be AWESOME

Well, what additions do you think will add to the mining aspect of the game? What do you think could be improved? If you think the mining needs adjustment, suggest it on the forums, or even directly to Jeb.

Anyways, this is pretty interesting, maybe I'll start building walls around villages and make it a tower defense type thing.

Oh and if you kill them (takes like 20 freakin hits with a DIAMOND SWORD) you get 4-5 iron ingots.
