Why terrain generation in beta is better than 1.8, and why it can't be re-implemented.

In beta terrain generation was epic. Overhangs here, overhangs there, overhangs everywhere! Look at this lovely skyscraping forest for instance:-

Cool, right?

Now, look at this full-release 1.8 picture of a forest :-

Boorrrriiiinnnngggg, right?!

Now, why cant Mojang just add in the terrain in picture 1?

1) My CPU will explode or something

If you have a CPU like mine and you cant even go near massive structures (In SP and MP) them it'll explode or something crazy like that. Great.

2) LAAG
If you have a computer like mine, and you cant even go near massive Terrain Gen, then the computer freezes and minecraft crashes. Great.

3) Bugs & Crashes
There'll probobly be a bug where if two pigs fall off a cliff at the same time and die at the same time minecraft deletes system 32. Great.

I like the Amplified world setting--a bit more extreme than Alpha and Beta world generation, but still kind of close.

They still have terrain generation like this, either go to a mountian biome, or just set your world to amplified and mountians spawn everywhere like that in all biomes.

Mountain biomes almost always spawn the same. When they spawn cool that's 'Extreme Hills M' or when terrain gen hiccups.  Amplified? HP simply cannot run in it (in my experience).

I like the flat lands more personally but I see your point mountians are cool. I just like the flat forests the are easy to navigate and build on. Peaceful if you may.

However, it would be nice if Mojang would actually add it in vanilla minecraft. It's pretty hard to find a modded minecraft server.

Don't worry you can still get your lovely overhangs everywhere which i also love just by searching seeds or using the large biomes option in making a world
