This update actually sounds pretty great. I might have to give Minecraft another go with some buddies.
the less ocean thing is pretty good
I always get a hard-on for being able to randomly find cool stuff while fishing and stuff. This update will rekindle my interests for Minecraft.
[CODE][MC-1018] – Black Lighting under overhangs[/CODE] YES! finally. This was bugging me a whole lot.
gonna open it up, find diamond, build a hut, get bored and close it i just can't find this game fun anymore
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;42609879][CODE][MC-1018] – Black Lighting under overhangs[/CODE] YES! finally. This was bugging me a whole lot.[/QUOTE] Does this mean when you put slabs on the roof they won't go black as well?
Man and last time I played I was hoping they'd add stained glass. Time to make more cool looking houses.

[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;42610439]mods.[/QUOTE] If mods are needed to make a game fun, then why bother?
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;42610484]If mods are needed to make a game fun, then why bother?[/QUOTE] But the game is fun, just because you don't find it fun doesn't mean it's not worth modding. You may as well be asking why play Bethesda games when you need to mod them to enjoy them to their fullest potential.
These are the kind of updates I want to see. Not adding one thing which clutters up the game world, improving on whats already there whist adding one or two subtle things. If only they had an update devoted to optimization making it playable on laptops with integrated graphics cards and ShitPCs.
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;42610484]If mods are needed to make a game fun, then why bother?[/QUOTE]Minecraft was fun for a while, but it eventually began to decline. Half-Life 2 was fun for a while, but it alone began to decline. Mods extend the longevity of these things. Gmod is a mod, but even it became dependent on mods to extends its longevity. How big do you think Gmod would be were it not for the addition of lua?
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;42610484]If mods are needed to make a game fun, [B]then why bother?[/B][/QUOTE] Why does it make a difference? Have you even ever tried Tekkit, Direwolf20, or other popular modpacks? Yeah, you can get bored with vanilla Minecraft. But Minecraft modpacks have got to be one of the best examples of how mods can bring you an entirely new experience.

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;42610484]If mods are needed to make a game fun, then why bother?[/QUOTE] Normally it would add atmosphere. There's shit like terrain mods, biomes, industrial, vehicles, more animals and people and loads more other shit that you can find in the Minecraft community. I can't forget shader mods as well.
If only there was a way to update already existing worlds.
this makes me wonder: does the 360 version get this update also, or would those users have it as paid DLC?
[QUOTE=TheHydra;42611650]this makes me wonder: does the 360 version get this update also, or would those users have it as paid DLC?[/QUOTE] they do get the updates but many months after the pc one
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;42610484]If mods are needed to make a game fun, then why bother?[/QUOTE] ...So how do you like default Garry's Mod?
So is this a reason to start playing again?
I wanna work on a complete recreation of the Stanley Parable's office building, but I don't have the patience to do it all, even though the Stanley Parable already comes with a map of the whole thing that would make it extra easy.

[QUOTE=The mouse;42611783]So is this a reason to start playing again?[/QUOTE] Probably to see how well the new networking system runs. Other than that, there is still very little to do in the game.
The current survival is just a glorified creative mode. I'll get back into this game once they actually make it surviving beyond the first two minutes of killing a pig and building a hut. After those two it's just creative mode. Still has no natural disasters like typhoons that blow your walls in or earthquakes to cave in your tunnels or roofs. Or just plain mob invasions. Spergs too afraid that their pretty houses or castles get damaged by natural forces? Play creative then instead of fucking survival. The lightning is the only thing that does something and even that is just a small puff of fire that disappears in a second.
I wish building in survival mode was easier. Making cool looking stuff is always my goal, but I don't have the time or patience anymore to place every single block. And I haven't seen any mods that help well enough.
The new Mega Taiga and Mesa/Disco Canyon biomes are pretty freakin' sweet [t]http://upload.fr-minecraft.net/images/frminecraft/fr-minecraft_Z1NG_Mega_Taiga2.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/kEGw4aZ.jpg[/t] [t]http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.muttsworldmine.com/media-mcw.cursecdn.com/c/cc/xMesa.png.pagespeed.ic.Ejm7WYPE-s.webp[/t] Amplified world generation can make some pretty cool terrain features too [t]http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.muttsworldmine.com/media-mcw.cursecdn.com/f/f7/xSavanna_Plateau_M.png.pagespeed.ic.bvZD3jUyZq.webp[/t]
The only thing I care about are the improvements to the base game; all the modding support and general improvements that will make things like modding much easier and better.

Mojang has over 30,000 bugs on their backlog?!!?!?
