Oh yes, Minecraft 1.6 came out:

We here at mojang work very hard to add great features in every update so in this update you don't get anything!

Including:

-A new mod, the horse, that you could have got before with mods
-New block 17 of which are absolutely useless (hardened clay) because wool did the same thing
-New command for the command block, cause that'll help your survival experience
-Carpets, which are pretty cool actually
-You can now name any mob, 'cause you know, incase you forget
-Texture packs can now hold sound as well, 'cause everyone is gonna use that
-New potion effects that you still can't assess in survival
-And of cause we fixed a ton of bugs but what does it matter, as with every update comes even more bugs *sigh*

In case you didn't notice, I was being sarcastic. Personally I think Mojang are starting to run out of ideas and should work on a new game (which they have) and leave minecraft as it is (except the bugs). Say your opinion on the matter if you won't.

Meh, I don't play the game much anymore due to updates that I personally think ruin the game - I joined Minecraft in Beta 1.6 (Played it in Pre-Alpha) and therefore I think it should be de-updated to back then.

But i'm Human and I have to always complain about something.

noblebob123Guys the reason Mojang dosent put so much stuff in is because:

B. Some old systems could find it difficult to handle some of these types of Mod. Yea you can get Optifine but that wont sort all of your problems!

Guys the reason Mojang dosent put so much stuff in is because:

A. If they keep putting loads of stuff in then in a couple of updates time noobs will find it really difficult to get use to the game. Its not as if there are official tutorials, you can search on youtube for the stuff but I dont think people want to spend all day on YouTube learning stuff about the game when they could be playing it.
B. Some old systems could find it difficult to handle some of these types of Mod. Yea you can get Optifine but that wont sort all of your problems!
C. You can just get 3rd party mods anyway so why do Mojang need to add loads of stuff anyway? Granted you might want to play on a server with it but I think my above reasons outway any benefit.


Mojang arent going to stop updating but they need to limit the stuff they update because maybe in a years time though they might have to many things to handle!

You guys obviously don't get it do you? minecraft is a MEDIEVAL game so why would they add lambs and guns and even planes? THINK for a second ik its hard for you guys but really, planes??

I do agree IF they are running out of idea's they should stop updating the game and screwing it up. I'm not a huge fan of 1.6 and they really started losing me after the 1.4 updates

Minecraft is not medieval, contrary to somewhat-popular belief. There is no specific time period Minecraft is in. In your mind, it may be medieval. In my mind, it's many years after an apocalypse.

Think about the possibilities with the resource pack!
I mean, if you have a creepy level, and you want a custom pack for it, you can do that!
You could make the bow and arrow a gun, and have gun shots every time you fire!
You could make it so instead of zombie growling, it's going to be screams!
There are a lot of things as a texture pack maker that you can do with resource packs, IMO.

Yes actually! Everybody is going to use that! I'm going to use it! Can you imagine using a Metroid resource pack and hearing sounds from Metroid in the game!

Well, now you don't need mods!
-New block 17 of which are absolutely useless (hardened clay) because wool did the same thing
Smoother color, stronger colored houses.
-New command for the command block, cause that'll help your survival experience
For mapmakers, to make better maps effects.
-Carpets, which are pretty cool actually
Yep.
-You can now name any mob, 'cause you know, incase you forget
Mob differentiating, so you can have a bunch of named pets.
-Texture packs can now hold sound as well, 'cause everyone is gonna use that
It is massive customizability, and a huge addition for mapmakers who want custom sounds.
-New potion effects that you still can't assess in survival
Once again, for mapmakers.
-And of cause we fixed a ton of bugs but what does it matter, as with every update comes even more bugs *sigh*
Well, if they didn't fix them, they'd obviously all add up.

Mods they should add:
Cloning Mod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6qQxFCympQ
Bettter Animations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGk4mXX6QQc
Recipe Book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5AJtlL5nPE
Spawner GUI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3i8B_Xjlc8

Here are my ideas:
Tinted Glass (All colors of the glass)
Reinforced Glass (Crafted with glass in the middle surrounded by iron bars)
Lamb (Sheeps drop lamb when killed)
Pine Biome (Spawns Pine trees and grass is a nice bright green colour)
Flashlight (Lights up the area when in your hand)

The flashlight has already been made into a mod (which I installed), and was pleased with that mod. In other words, I agree with the Flashlight suggestion.
Spawner GUI would need some tweaking to not be OP, as I have used that and think that being able to change a spawner just with a right click is more OP for my tastes. So, in other words, add it only to creative, not survival.
The recipe book I agree with as well. Unless you look on the wiki, most recipes are very confusing for new people.
Lamb is also a good idea, the Pine Biome is "meh", as I don't really see too much of a need for more trees (but, to each his own), I like the new glass ideas, as Reinforced Glass was in IC2.
Cloning seems too OP, though I will have to look into that, and the other mod I don't really know.

Overall, some good ideas.

-A new mod, the horse, that you could have got before with mods
People wanted it in vanilla. Not everyone can figure out how to get mods. Some can't even install mods.IKR? I have no idea how to install mods.
-New block 17 of which are absolutely useless (hardened clay) because wool did the same thing
People like to build in Minecraft.True!
-New command for the command block, cause that'll help your survival experience
The /playsound command is fantastic for adventure maps, and is great for showing off resource pack sounds on servers and maps. It's also hilarious at times.Now it's official, I NEED 1.6.
-Carpets, which are pretty cool actually
Indeed.That would be nice for my house, I'll have to make a new one though.
-You can now name any mob, 'cause you know, incase you forget
In maps you might have an NPC with a name. Or, you can name a horse, cat, or dog for fun.I named my dog Wolfy!
-Texture packs can now hold sound as well, 'cause everyone is gonna use that
This can add custom things to servers, maps, and general survival. Besides, people are hating on the recent sound changes anyways. I would make the Legend of Zelda, "you found something you need" sound!
-New potion effects that you still can't assess in survival
There is more to Minecraft to survival.How about a Jump boost next update?
-And of cause we fixed a ton of bugs but what does it matter, as with every update comes even more bugs *sigh*
There will always be bugs in every game. If you made a game, there would be bugs. If I made a game, there would be bugs.If I made a game, it would have too much bugs to ever fix. I have no idea how to make games.

In my opinion, their ideas are cool, yet somewhat dull. I don't think they are running out of ideas, just having slow ideas. The horse update was epic! They don't have dull ideas!

A lot of the newer features and ones upcoming are meant to help mapmakers and modders, because as minecraft grows, so does the community of these people. Mojang is well aware of this, and even plans to add things like a Modding API in the future to allow ease access to install mods without a third party program like Winrar. With the new command block features and such, I assume Hypixel just about peed his pants.

1. Players who may not know how to install mods like Mo' Creatures or someone who prefers to play without mods.
2. Hardened clay has a different look to them, and can be used for different purposes. You can use hardened clay instead of wool for building a house, because hardened clay doesn't burn away, like wool does.
3. That can be helpful to map makers, or people who like creative. 'cause they're more than one gamemode
4. Carpets are pretty cool :3
5. I think that extra touch is a nice little detail. Let's say you have a village, and you named a villager because you like him/her for some reason. They look just like the other ones of their types (butchers, blacksmiths, librarians, etc.) you'll be able to distinguish which ones which.
6. Bdoubleo and Generikb used that feature for adding gun sounds for their cowboy texture pack they used on a few episodes of Mindcrack. So it is helpful for roleplay I guess.
7. Creative, it's another popular gamemode.
8. Coding is tricky, and maybe Mojang misses a few bugs before releasing an official update. But Call of Duty always has undiscovered bugs after official release as well, as do most games.
I'm not trying to be rude, but you should've considered about the pros and cons before writing this, and that creative is another gamemode, and Minecraft isn't just survival even though it's probably the most popular gamemode.

Mojang would never put guns, planes, and cars, or anything like that. I'm glad they added horse, it gives another means of transportation, and coolness factor into the game. And I'm sure that some people in the community were BEGGING for horses, I mean seriously.

I also think they should make redstone either take up half a block (so you can cover up your redstone) or incorporate everything in RedPower except for the Nikolite stuff (unless a lot of people want the Nikolite stuff added in).

1. You download things at your own risk, you have to be smart about what you're download. Don't download something you don't trust. Mods are very easy to install, it takes a maximum of 5 minutes depending on download time.
2. I completely agree with that. I believe they should add ride-able/tame-able dolphins so you can get through the water faster and cooler. Boats are cool, but a bit glitchy.
3. What's an ender crystal? Do you mean the dragon egg that appears after defeating the ender dragon? If so, you can get that by easily hooking a piston up to it and powering the piston so it moves the dragon egg. When it moves it, it breaks the egg and drops it as an item which you are able to place. I believe they had the ability to take spawners with silk touch at one time, I don't know why they removed it, maybe it was to overkill? I don't know.
