I don't mind them destroying stuff, cos I could turn them off if I wanted
I find they have a habit of sneaking up behind me, and have had a couple jump off cliffs to sky-bomb me!
I agree so hard with this it's like I am agreeing with steel! No idea what that means, but it sure sounded good in my brain.
I want it to be alchemy/legos. I want to be able to invent/discover things that no one else has by mixing different types of materials and crap. Not that I would, because I'm lazy and not very inventive, but that to me is what the game should have been. There are already enough rpg/monster games.
Some odd sections on the map now where the newly generated land looks like a glitch but actually isn't. I think I explored them areas a few weeks ago and it happened then. Probably a bug with Bukkit that was fixed long ago.
There's a new ocean biome - maybe that's related to where the new terrain gen would have had open sea, but the existing stuff was already generated there, so when the new chunks got generated it basically caused the glitch cliff. So not a bukkit bug (unless they claim to deal with that).
Yeah, looking at that I'd say that's definitely what it is - you can see the way that area just looks so much better - more natural shapes, proper beaches rather than chunks of sand, winding rivers, and so on.
I think that in 1.8 the terrain generation was totally redone, meaning that the new areas that are now being generated are using a completely different system.
