Thoughts on Minecraft 1.7 thus far.
-I like the new flowers. The whole "roses = poppies" thing is probably going to throw me off for a while, but I don't really mind it. -Is it just me, or is terrain generally more level and interesting now? There's a lot more flat land in extreme hills, for example, and much more exposed stone (plus floating chunks of rock and stuff). -I haven't formed opinions on all the new biomes yet, but I LOVE the savanna biome. Not too sure about the roofed forest though, it's kind of irking me (especially with how common it seems to be). -Also, BIRCH FOREST. YES. -I still have yet to find a mega-taiga/redwood forest or mesa biome. -Due to the fact that I have not found either of those biomes, I have yet to try out the new fishing features. But I have the feeling that I will love them. -My only major gripe with the update thus far (and it is admittedly ALMOST a deal-breaker for me) is the fact that water and ice are now opaque (at least when you're not underwater) on fast graphics. I have to run fast graphics because my computer is tripe, and not being able to gauge the depth of ponds and rivers is extremely offputting. -For the time being, though, most of the other features make up for this. For the time being. -I haven't tried out the AMPLIFIED world type because, as I said above, I have an awful computer. It is so tempting though.
