Dear morons. Stop getting butt-hurt over Minecraft getting new features. Don't be some stupid bum who is nostalgic for the original game which had ninety percent less features and ninety percent more bugs. If you want a game to be made perfectly for you learn coding and make it yourself. Besides, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THE NEW FEATURES.

If you don't like sunflowers, don't plant them.

Mind = blown.

At least for idiots like all the whining babies on this thread.

Minecraft is a good game. Just because you don't like every single little detail being added doesn't give you a right to be negative.

I can't see how Sunflowers are a bad feature at all anyways. It's a small feature that probably took no more than a couple of work hours to complete. The biome changes and new biomes take significantly longer.

Quote from denace_jones

Mojang focuses only on adding useless content and fixing some small bugs. Will there ever be a PluginAPI? I don't think so. They involved the Bukkit Team one and a half year ago, and there is no progress.
Does no one think the same?

You just want to be negative. Grow up, or make your own game if you think everything should be your way.

Exactly. Its not game changing but people are tripping over it like the blast radius of creepers was quadrupled.

Stop hating on Jeb and Dinnerbone for adding sunflowers. You don't even have to use them. Nobody hated on Notch like this. I am certain if Notch was on minecraft, he would have added these things as well. As for the horses, they aren't that bad really. If you don't want any of that stuff in your game just switch back to an earlier update using the new launcher that Jeb made. You people have no excuse to hate now.

I'm not saying that they're BAD, per say... I'm saying that they should be optional. In a mod. And I have to play on 1.6 because 1) My favorite MC server updated to that for some reason, and 2) Better Than Wolves WILL eventually update to 1.6/1.7, so I'm gonna have to get that.
Side note: MasterNorman wasn't hating on them, he was praising them. Seriously.

It's not exactly game-changing. If you don't like the flowers... then don't plant them.

That was easy.

Why is he upside down?

They're also adding something like continents as well, right? Where they put the biomes that seem to "work" together near each other and leave no room for anything else? Sigh... I'll miss having taigas next to deserts... I pity future generations of Minecraftians.

I was talking about the horses.

He's upside down? Ohhh... I thought that that was half of a horse falling lol(still think horses were a bad idea!). And one more thing... You DO realize that 1.6 broke pretty much every mod, ever, right? Still trying to update mine, and it only adds 3 tiny things ATM!

Quote from codewow

Uhhh wut? Is it possible to go waterfall diving now or was this a pre rendered picture with editing done?

I don't know, maybe in 1.7 you can go sky diving and you'll take more damage but fall faster?

Quote from Fanatictekken

READ WHAT WE COMMENT!
NOBODY said sunflowers are stupid, I said 4 times "NEW CONTENT ALWAYS WELCOME", but that they focus on useless things instead of the usefuö-


What? Horses are good, useful for travelling.
The stupid thing is that a full update were made for a mob.

Horses took a lot of work, they're one of the most complex, feature packed mobs we have, be greatful for that. Don't continue to be butthurt that 1.6 wasn't the mob update, because 1.7 is turning out to be a biome/mob update. And once again, they ARE NOT focusing on flowers, they're focusing on biomes and mobs, they're just putting in some smaller features too.

Quote from Marko413

impact particles?! That'll be interesting to see. Someone please link an image or video when something is available to view.

A lot of people with slower graphics cards turn particles off, also you will likely not see them if you're the one falling. So not so interesting.

The sunfowers need another use besides pointing east and looking pretty. I assume the seeds can be used to breed chickens like the pumpkin and watermelon can.

I like it

To all the haters above: stop spamming this topic with hatred of Mojang, you don't necessarily need to use anything they add; be MATURE

I still remember the alpha days...and I will never get any entertainment when playing the old version.

Sacheverell can you ask Jeb if he can add craftable guns? as in machine guns, pistols, and rifles? I would really appreciate it if you would.
Thx!

cool

1.6 has upped my FPS by a TON. Previously I would only get 100 fps without optifine then 900 ffs with optifine, now I get 400-600 fps without it. So it's good in that way and the new additions mean more to do for survival servers like my semi-vanilla server.

go play Ace of Spades if you want minecraft with guns >.>

Quote from ULiopleurodon

They confirmed that other tiers such as emerald and obsidian would not be added, you could use the resource pack system to reskin your diamond ores/tools/armor/everything into emerald stuff and have it be named Emerald *blank*

I'll just install emerald tools and armor mod. :3

That flower looks pretty ugly. Even the flower mods had a better sunflower.

I don't understand why people hate a simple sunflower... this just makes the world nicer, adds color and it's just a decoration. The sunflower just make part of the background, it doesn't affect the game itself, its just to make the world more "decorated" I guess. I think that the particle animation is quite good and also, makes part of minecraftia without any harm to the game. I'm happy about this update and don't have any complain about it. Thanks Jeb, thanks Dinnerbone, great job.

This would totally ruin the game... I recommend you to install mods

People just argue and complain to have something to do. I don't remember very many complaints when melons were introduced, and look at how much that feature has affected our gameplay....about as much as the sunflower will. I am all for new updates; if they seriously affect my gameplay that's great, if they don't, then I still love them for how aesthetically pleasing they are. I'm not much of a miner or a fighter in this game- I like to play in town roleplay servers and I love to farm and sunflowers will only help the game. Someone who buys the game after 1.7 is introduced is not gonna look at the sunflower the first time they play and be like...."those do not belong here." But yes, thanks to the developers for constantly adding fun features and keeping us on our toes!

Quote from denace_jones

I bought the game because of promises of upcoming features. Your way of thinking is very funny, because you say "If you want these features, make your own game." What kind of logic is this? It's like you're pre order a music album, payed for it, but it's release canceled. And someone then say to you "Go, make your own music.".

The release wasn't cancelled. Your just not getting exactly what you think you were supposed to get. I'm sure Mojang has reasons for not publishing the modding api.

I think the idea of adding horses was great! Its a quick and fun way to get around! Way better than riding pigs around that's for sure!

come on, pigs are fun! it is a unique thing about minecraft. horses are too obvious a mode of transportation. Jeb, Dinnerbone, don't just start adding things that make the most sense, keep the level of imagination that made this game so great!
