Remember the days when blocks didn't have names? Or when food used to give you health? Or even better, when zombies were the only mob? Over the past years, minecraft has gone from terrible-looking game to worldwide sensation, a so-called game that has so many things a creative person can do. This game has gone far from its original debut. Under beta development, the game added its core features. For example, the Halloween update brought us the nether, and all of its features. Later, during 1.4,5,and 6 the nether got new additions such as quartz, withers, and new fortresses. When the game was still in alpha, who would have ever thought that we would be riding a horse while fighting skeletons with an enchanted bow in an amplified mesa biome? The truth is that the additions that Mojang has brought to us through their snapshots and official updates are things that no one has ever seen forthcoming. With Mojang, the players of this game have learned that you never get what you ask for, but the new additions t the game are just enough to keep you playing. Personally, I have wanted vertical slabs and another use for emeralds. Unfortunately, the 1.8 update coming soon doesn't include those either xD. What the new update does have in store is granite, and three new stone types, that will be very useful not only in creative, but also in survival. I never really thought of getting new biomes, I was always satisfied with a nice mountain or plains, but these new biomes got me playing like crazy again. Update after update, this game has changed completely. When they added redstone for example, it was all too complicated for everyone, and no one thought it would ever become something big. Well, several updates later, we were introduced to the redstone update in 1.5 and everyone went crazy with the redstone creations. One more example, the bouncing slime blocks that are going to be added soon, personally, I don't see why I would ever use them, but someday they will become very popular, that slime farms will become common. My point is that this game has changed a ton throughout the updates. We, as the game playing audience have never really gotten what we think would be cool to add, but whatever Mojang has added has made us play the game even more. Mojang just knows how to keep an audience playing through little additions to the game that no one would ever think of. All I can think of is what the future of this game holds for us, because you never know, Minecraft 3.7.4, just might be the space update xD.
