Minecraft 1.7

I'm a total slappy for Minecraft, this game just rocks when they add more new things.

I've been dying for some changes to world generation. Maybe with this I can finally stop using buggy "more biomes" mods and the like.

I'm hoping they fix those annoying glitchy shadows in this one, though. It's been a while since that bug was introduced and it'd be nice if they finally fixed it.

#1 Pillz relax this isn't exactly the second coming of christ.

#2 The new biomes really interest me, that was what made the game's world so fun to explore was finding new cool areas.

#3 I kinda wish they would bump the sizes of each biome in a world down a little bit so it would be easier to find new ones instead of like walking for hours and still nothing quite interesting in some generated worlds.

"Deep Ocean"
Well
time to start over.

We need to go deeper.

With these new updates does the mc server reset or does it keep the same world?

BECAUSE NEXUS GOTTA EXPLORE SUM OF THEM BIOMES.

THIS IS BETTER THAN THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.

Honestly I'd be a lot more interested in MC than the second coming of JC. Unless JC played MC while he MC'd and DJ'd MJ songs at the local BK.

Also normal biome generation is pretty decent and usually biomes are 60-250 blocks apart from one another, with exceptions for ocean and plains biomes. Our server has Large biomes which literally quadruples or even octuples the size between biomes. I really can't wait for the new biomes and hope they add even more with this update, I'm really stoked for fishing though.

We'll have to see. It's going to be a few months before we see the update, I'm guessing they're either going to shoot for post-halloween or Christmas time. wjerererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererere

Sorry, my kitten likes to type too. We just might reset the server, but if we do we'll try to save everyone's buildings with worldedit and maybe we could place it all in the same kinda area as a museum of the past kinda town area.

There's also an option to re-generate the current world, but that'd probably wipe everything so we'll see.

I feel like wiping the server is fun, and for everyone to start from scratch with the new update will really help everyone get the full force of the update, instead of already having everything done basically and checking out what's been added; like when horses were added I kinda looked around and everything was about the same; aside from a few things I could do in creative.

With how much we've already explored and had the map generate I don't think we'd see any new biomes unless we reset the server.

Again it'll take some time though, so no worries yet. The update's release date is still "unknown".

[Old Crow]

If you were to wipe, I think it would be cool to get a list of every bodies inventories so that we don't have to continue to start from square one. That way we can hit the ground running and the only thing we would have to do is set up houses again.

[Pillz]

Yeah Crow that'd be easier. We could still pull a fee buildings with world edit but ideally just for looks; like a gallery of things we've built.

I'm so excited for this update already though like omgz.

I kinda wish they weren't getting rid of large oceans. I get having fewer of them, but getting rid of them entirely kinda sucks.

Well to many a time I've spawned on an island in the middle of a vast ocean, I'd like less of that. Adding deeper oceans and generating few of them will be great, and they'll still have a few massive oceans im sure, where two oceans combine and the such.
