Situation:
So a lot of people are complaining about the April Fools joke that Mojang did, saying that "They have taken over our skin servers and content delivery networks" and "our new villager overlords." It's not that big of a deal, it will be over by 4/2/14. Sure the Villager sound may get annoying at times but like I said, it's not a big deal. Just turn down your volume, and as far as the whole skin thing goes, again...it will be over by tomorrow!

Why?
You may wondering why on earth would Mojang waste their time like this instead of working on new snapshots? They did it for laughs, lol's, haha's. They wanted the people of Minecraft to get a kick out of it.

Did it backfire?
I would say yes, it did backfire. But I see no reason why. Because for 24 hours people can enjoy Minecraft in Villager form.

For the haters of this joke, just try to laugh along with the rest of us, and for the haters of this blog post, suck it up and leave! :)

This could have also caused the backfire & caused the server to be open. That might be what caused the secuirity issue in the first place? Maybe they went a bit overboard.

While I think the skin change is a little... questionable, as far as us not having control over it, I don't understand why everyone is so rage-y. It was annoying after a while, yes, but that's what the volume controls are for. And while it was frustrating as someone who makes content for YT to play on a newer version, I sucked it up and went and did a Pokemon map on 1.4 instead. I loved the villagers voices - when walking up to someone and saying Hello especially - and I wish they would integrate it into the actual game.

People got their knickers in a knot for absolutely no reason, and being so angry over it is pretty childish in my opinion. Pull the stick out of your butts and learn to take a joke.

Agreed, it's just a little joke they made, and people can't take it for a day? That's just sad.

People need to calm down. It's so common now to have people overreacting over tiny things and it's getting old. If anything, Mojang should be appreciated for putting in time and effort for their 4-1-14 event. There's nothing wrong with having fun.

Next time you do a blog try to make it more professinal. Use smaller text, and probably more information depending on what the blog will be about.

I think he did a great job on this blog. If I were him I would keep the same format going for most or all of the blogs. Diamond from me. Keep up the good work.

Well, I'm not what you call a "professional blogger," not even close, and i made the text bigger than normal because for some people its harder to read small print. Sorry for the inconvenience.
