    There were two theories behind this.
    One was the Mayan Baktun calendar. A Baktun is 394 years, and legend has it that the end of the 13th Baktun heralds doomsday. The end of the 13th Baktun is 23rd December, 2012. 394 x 13 =... 5122. So, the Baktun count must have started 5122 years ago.
    But why should the Baktun count start at the start of the Maya civilisation? If this prophecy were true, we would have to start counting the Baktuns from the start of the Earth, which was well over 4 billion years ago. That means that the world should have ended well before the first living creatures had even evolved.

    The other theory was that it was the "end of the Mayan calendar." Simple fact; the Mayan calendar stretches not only millions, billions, but trillions of years into the future.

    Well, there are still some people who follow the ancient Mayan traditions, but really, you only have the right to believe that the world's going to end if you still worship the Mayan gods.
    There are loads of reasons I wouldn't like the world to end... why should I bother listing them? Most of them have been listed already.
    inb4 no, I don't want to get an apartment with my boyfriend. Not being homophobic or anything.

    Not really, as long as they don't claim they made all of it, which they didn't even if xeraemc is lying.

    I would probably make a fantasy-adventure-strategy game, kinda like Dragon Quest and Age of Empires mixed together.
    It would be really unbranded, so no storyline, no named characters, no named locations... just you and your tribe.
    You could create a tribe, and build buildings, and hunt, and fight other tribes, and mine, and craft, and do magic, and you would have different vocations, and you could build castles and expand your tribe, fight dragons, conquer other kingdoms, and so on until... whenever you get bored

    There are some biomes which I have wanted to see for a long time:

    Subtropical biome: Grass is orangey, like desert grass. Small jungle trees are scattered but denser than plains biomes. Surface: Relatively hilly, some huge rocky outcrops with some ores, large areas of grass and some patches of stone, sandstone and occasionally even smaller patches of gravel and clay. Lots of small lakes too.

    Boreal biome: Very flat, like desert biome pre-1.2, Layer snow is 3-4 blocks thick, under that there is a layer of ice 1-2 blocks thick then water, where you can catch icefish as well as normal fish. Icefish restore 1 more heart than normal fish. No trees or grass whatsoever and no life apart from naturally occurring snow golems and sheep, and monsters of course. Also villages could occur but made out of snow, like desert villages are made out of sand and sandstone? And the occasional ice well, as a generated structure? Not to mention igloos, where villagers live on their own, and have really good loot and sell for low prices? Igloos are very rare.

    Antarctic biome: Like boreal biome but instead of water under the surface there is stone and normal underground terrain build-up. Also occasional rocky mountains, but no grass. No igloos.

    Eldin biome: Surface terrain made of stone, with some orangey grass, and lots of lakes full of lava. Rich in ores, including emerald, and obsidian can be found in veins. Occasional trees. Also bomb flowers; destroy them to give you the item, as well as possible bomb flower seeds (plant them in stone). Right click to throw the item like an egg, which explodes on impact Heart flowers, like roses but heart-shaped, grow on stone and in flower pots and are edible and restore HEALTH, not HUNGER. Using bone meal on stone will generate bomb flowers and heart flowers. If you are lost for graphics, all of these ideas come from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

    I won't be offended if you don't use my ideas as they are very demanding, but I would love to see these made in Minecraft!

    Could I have a glowing orange-yellow dragon in flight please? Any kind of dragon, as long as it looks medieval-y. It will be used in the icon for my texture pack with clear credit! Background should be transparent or black please. Oh, and no bigger than 90x90 pixels.
    Thanks in advance! P.S. No rush!

    I would probably be wood. I try to be always there when people need me, and I'm very useful at first, but eventually I'm just a normal part of everyone's life.

    Exurbia There are a couple who can be quite pleasant to females.


    Even then, you need to know when to draw the line. I don't usually register the gender of the player I'm talking to unless it's obvious, as I don't really see the point. I try to be nice to everyone, but sometimes people take offence and I really don't know what to say.

    gamegirl22 everything else is enderMEN ZombiepigMEN and the villagers are all men (and they have babies...HOW DO THEY HAVE BABIES?!?)


    "Men" often refers to people in general. Like in the Bible, "peace on Earth to men" and whatnot. That's not being sexist. And the villagers... that's why my texture pack will have female villagers.

    gamegirl22 And you know what minecraft is racist the endermen are tall black creatures that steel,hate water,live in a world with tall project looking structures! and the same update they were added so where chicken and watermelons! I think your on to something. minecraft is sexist racist and out to fill our harts with hate! but if you mean online male players are sexist then thats life get over it and get back in the kitchen i put a bed next to the furnace for you


    WTF? Look, TALL BLACK HUMANOIDS WITH PURPLE GLOWING EYES. How the heck is that related to racism? They're supposed to look like stereotypical aliens! If you think aliens are racist, blame the authors who came up with them. And what do you mean, they steal? Their block-moving ability is not necessarily stealing. They're just skilled landscapers, that's all. Plus, do you want a new update JUST for the endermen? There was no point in Mojang making an extra client update, deleting the work they've already done with melons and chickens and publishing it separately. It would waste time.

    So no. I daresay it's a bit of a long shot, relating Endermen to African Americans like that.
    Now don't blame me for racism, I think it's stupid, evil and unjust that people are judged by their ethnicity!

    I do see your point though, but the last thing that Mojang want to do is make a discriminating game. Even if something looks like racism/sexism, please ignore it as it's really not!

    Sexism on servers is another thing. It's evidently a big problem and it doesn't really have a base anywhere so I don't see what the point in it is. But it's also illegal, so why doesn't the Government do something about it? A lot of crimes happen via Minecraft and not many people notice them. So yeah, down with discrimination!

    Yep. I think we should make a rule: no commenting on other people's jokes unless it's "lol" or something like that. There's nothing like the shame of making a bad joke.

    A mathematician is on a nine-hour flight across the Atlantic.
    Soon an announcement comes on, saying this:
    "One of our engines has failed, but that doesn't matter, this plane can fly with three engines. We'll be in the air for 12 hours instead of 9, that's all."
    The patient mathematician waits for a few minutes, then another announcement comes on.
    "Another engine has failed; we'll be in the air for hours altogether, don't worry."
    After a few more minutes, an announcement comes on again.
    "Another engine has failed, but don't worry. The last engine is specially designed and will never fail. We'll be in the air for 16 hours in total though, so you'll have to be very patient."
    The mathematician says to himself: "Good thing the last engine is specially designed, otherwise, if it failed, we'd be in the air for 24 hours altogether!"

    (I do apologise if that joke offended anyone. Bad jokes tend to.)

    The locked chest. You can't get it, it's instantly breakable. The only use for it would be building, but like I said, it's unobtainable.

    On second thoughts, though, it's probably Block 0 (air) or Invisible Bedrock (from Pocket Edition) because they don't really work at all as items.

    I don't think that any of these things will happen. Jeb and Notch are really passionate about Minecraft, and they probably wouldn't sell it. Also, why would Disney buy Minecraft if they wanted to change it that much? They would probably just make their own game.
    But enough of boring seriosity;

    When Jeb decides Minecraft should become a fascist dictatorship (for some reason... idk XD), and Notch protests against Jeb. Jeb likes Notch's ideas but has to have him executed anyway. Jeb tries to kill himself, then all of Mojang comes in and tries to stop him. Then they all get arrested...

    Note: this is not intended to be offensive in any way, so please don't be disturbed, I'm sure this will never happen!
