Seems like a lot of pretty and a big pile of shit. Apparently, revamping the seldom-used fishing system was a top priority this update instead of something actually interesting.
We can also now see when other players gain a worthless achievement in a server, which the achievements only really made sense if you were playing by yourself anyways.
A bunch of stuff added to the server listings that should have been there in the first place, like actually being able to see whom is online, for once.

Apparently they did an overhaul on Network and Sound management code. Sounds, I hope, are less shit and skip less at low framerates (which are usually caused by memory leaks anyways).

-Removed Herobrine
HUR DURR HEROBRINE SO SCARY

Differently Shaped Nether Portals
Even more guesswork as to where your portal will appear, because now it can be shaped like an asshole instead of a door.

Like I said, sounds like a big pile of shit.
Discuss.

I think all minecrafr players should start a new motto like this: "FIX THE FUCKING BOATS" and spam it on PlanetMinecarft.

Well, maybe the new network code fixed boats. Or broke them worse. Or fixed shift-building. Or broke it worse.

*sigh*

Oh Mojang... It's always a new surprise on what you're going to break with the next update.

I doubt it, boats are finnicky as fuck and need more depth to them then a driver-controlled hollowed out wood log.

It'd be interesting if they had paddle boats/ sailboats and they moved accordingly. Though the latter would need a wind system. I've been on a sailboat before, and not those big kinds, I mean those small race boats that need two people as counterweights to make sure the damned thing doesn't keel over. It was exhilarating, but I know it'd never make it past development stage.

About the portals:
1. Your portals size can be different, but it has to be a rectangle.
2. No matter what your portal looks like, the one generated at the other end will always be a standard 14-obsidian portal.

The spawn area is gonna be even more fucked up, now that ghasts can fit through custom size portals

[LoneSoldier55]

Fuck this gay earth.
And everyone in it.

I dont understand how is new biomes and many more stuff like, flowers, podzol, new trees, colored glasspanes etc a big pile of shit? And you're hardly ever online.. Thats just weird..
