People i understand why you are kinda mad cause the 'good ol days' were for some people more fun! But i mean: they just want more challenge and stuff in the game: otherways you would only be building and mining... yes i know thats what it is all about but with those extra bits you can set goals for yourself... And if you still hate it after reading this: complaining wont help.. do you really think they then change it all back to beta 1.8? Afcourse not! Some people love the potatos, anvils, carrots, wither etc. If you hate it: dont hate, just install a mod to downgrade your minecraft...
