Bad Mojang! Bad!
(Said in the voice of Mab talking to Deathbringer :-).
Seriously, where are those silverfish supposed to come from? In the stronghold, yes. In generic caves? No.
Take your butthurt down a few notches.
This is the Mob I've been waithing for. Don't stop here though mojang. You can't have a bat without a ratNew Sounds O.o Finaly!!!!
Ps:even if this was a mod it would be pretty cool!!

That would be quite useless since you would get bats always showing you common junk like coal and iron and even if you made it where they point the way to diamonds, they would either get stuck since the diamonds are underneath you or the difficulty of finding diamonds would drop and you could have diamond items in the first 30 minutes of making a new world.
silverfish spawn in caves? wtf screw that
The water sounds more realistic, I like it. The cows *sigh* is creepy...
Man I am super paranoid now with all these new sounds I'm like "WTF WAS THAT??!!" all the time till I get used to it lol..
Oh and bats are AWESOME!! I didn't see them drop anything yet, though. Not even xp? Here's a picture I took for those who want to see what the new mobs look like:
And I don't know, is this a bug or do they intend for the villagers to give the purple swirlies to show that it's restocking, along with the green plusses now?
RE:Bats
any overhang can serve as a bat spawner/roost, it needs to be at least 2 blocks above the 'ground' and protected from sunlight (and presumable torchlight as well )
I also got to buy some MineCon tickets..
