Wooo! This has got to be the best update so far! Though that's what I thought of 1.6... >.<

But what about my old world? Will the new biomes make giant ugly cliffs in it when I explore new chunks? How do I make sure this doesn't happen? Any help would be very appreciated! (By the way, I don't really want to start a whole new world, I have gotten pretty far into the world I have.)

Has anyone noticed the rose bush on the lower left looks different than the others? What's that red thing?

That's probably just Grumm.

Yes, the orange color is neither accurate nor particularly useful. Acacia wood isn't orange, it's a brown. It's considered an excellent accent wood because it tends to have complicated grains. The orange wood isn't useful for that at all. And if they wanted to put in an unrealistic color for build variety, orange is too garish. Grey, yellow, or red would all make much more usable tints.

All wood is just different shades of brown, most the time. I reckon the wood colours should be realistic, and then paint should be added to the game!

Also...they're already pre-releasing this? But...this update isn't finished! There are still a lot of things, in my opinion, that need some work done to them!!! Ohhh...if only I knew Java.

And the music from Minecraft - Volume Beta hasn't been added in this update. Granted, Volume Beta hasn't been released, but the fact that C418 could easily give Mojang the music and it would take another few weeks if they continued to work on the update means that the music could still be added. What a pity...

What if it's just your systems you're playing on? >_>.. I see little to no lag at all when I play. Instead of just complaining about what they do, why don't you try to fix your end first?

My system is easily in the top 10%, my system is just fine.

They seem to have given minor performance to 10yo absolute junk laptops that were never even designed to run flash well, much less a game, while completely decimating actual performance. aka it really actually runs like sh!t so it doesn't stress the computer.

There is a reason games have graphics & performance settings, so that they can run on a large variety of hardware, because no, not everyone can afford good computers and yes they still ought to be able to enjoy the game.

If you want to counter someones legitimate concerns, why don't you try and find legitimate solutions instead of blindly accusing someone of having a bad pc.

Very much looking forward to the implementation of the Plugin API. I've wanted to get into modding for months, but I've been holding off because I knew this was coming. Looks like it might actually be here soon.

I wouldn't hold your breath if I was you. It was "and tons of changes to get ready for the Plugin API".
That could mean anything from the next update to any number of updates from now. I wouldn't be that surprised if there's a mod developer release way before regular players even see a snapshot release. Then because of how much it involves, the bug squashing stage could be quite extensive.
So if you want to mod I'd say go for it even if there's an API on the horizon. Any experience you accumulate will only be a good thing down the road.

Somebody doesn't appreciate all the HARD WORK AND SWEAT MOJANG HAS PUT INTO THIS UPDATE!!!!!!!!

How about instead of being a jerk to Mojang, you appreciate what Mojang has given you.

Dude!! Mojang hasn't "given" anyone anything. We paid for it. And considering how well Mojang has done because we bought in to Minecraft before it was even a "game" Mojang should be just as appreciative of us as we are of them.
So that means we have the right to be critical.

For an example I maintain that minecraft is still in beta form and not a release version like Mojang says it is. They're still rewriting major parts of the code base. This is not something you should be doing with code about to be released let alone already released. Does it mean I don't appreciate Mojang and their efforts? Not at all. I'm just waiting for the release that doesn't break other parts of the game so that you have to restart your map. I'm patient and I'll wait. When they finally do I'll be very grateful as well. Till they do that will be my biggest criticism of Minecraft.

As for you, I have to say you're coming off like a brainless fanboi more than anything. You might as well of said "don't like it doesn't matter, so deal with it." We all know how well that worked for Microsoft now don't we. Don't agree with other posts? It's your right. But if you want to shut them down, prove they're wrong instead of throwing a tantrum like a twelve year old.

The title for this is amazing hahaha. Very excited for 1.7, probably the most excited I've been in awhile for an update. So many new things to experience but what I was wondering is how survival servers will be impacted. I don't know how updating servers are and stuff but with the new biomes being added to the game, will old survival servers be able to experience these new features?

I'd have to say that my absolute favorite part of this update is colored glass. Opens up so many options for neat looking office buildings and skyscrapers.

"The update that changed the world"... That'll never get old for me

I absolutely love just about everything in this update, it opens up so many more things to do. By far my favourite update.

mmm name change, what about the bans that where made ? like if I banned *person11* from my server, if he change name well he could easily log back in without having to make a new account ?

ME NEED TO CHANGE NAME

This... ooohhh ,man... I am legitimately in one of the most excited moods I've been in for a LONG time! This is gonna be awesome.

You can brew it into a potion of water breathing.

That's the pufferfish, not the clownfish. Clownfish does nothing right now but restore like one hunger point. Maybe later it can be used to create a chaos potion that applies a random shader?

Excellent. I could wish they'd added the new woods earlier (like before I generated umpty acres of roofed forest and a patch of savanna), but that's par for the course playing snapshots.

1.7.1 released!

That was quick!

Hum, I see 1.7.1 in the launcher. Is there an updated server .jar for this also?

This is making me laugh so hard How about they stop adding stupid stuff like wood colors and add things that are actually worth a version change? Pistons anyone? I don't play vanilla because its sooooo boring. I run modded servers for a reason. They actually have content. And every new version of mc the mods have to update AGAIN. Its pathetic how fast the updates come out, i'm surprised mods are here to an extent. They haven't really given us anything this update is the thing. Besides the network and sound rewrite which was needed badly. You go try running multiple servers and mods on servers and clients, and also code a mod and then we can talk.
