Can't get on the Realm right now because Minecraft seems to be doing some preparatory updates that are fucking with other things. :/ Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Adventure 1.8 Update Thoughts

With all of the posts Notch and Jeb have been putting out regarding the 1.8 Update, also known as the Adventure Update, I decided to make a post on some of my thoughts and reactions.

So first of all, in case you are in the dark regarding the new changes, here's a link to Notch's post regarding the main changes that will be coming in 1.8: link.

1. NPC Villages - this could be a great thing, especially for those of us who want vibrant filled worlds, but not really the time to build them. Of course, this doesn't mean I probably won't be reworking the NPC houses. At least, I hope thats possible. And if I build some empty houses in these villages, I hope NPC's will start showing up and living in them.

2. Randomly generated dungeons - for me, this is a really big thing, as the pictures that have been coming out for this, peak my exploration interests. This will include ruined areas and underground strongholds.

3. New Biome Code - I'm not really sure what this will entail, but I do know that currently, the biomes are just randomly thrown around, without any real logic. Eventually I hope Notch updates this, so that swamps and jungles, and ice caves and such are formed in addition to the existing biomes.

4. More farming options - again, I'm not really sure what this is going to entail, but I'm hoping additional items are available for farming, such as corn and other vegetables, and maybe more options for fruits, like naturally spawning apples!

5. Sprinting - obviously a good way to get away from creepers :)

6. Critical Hits - definitely a good thing when fighting the baddies.

That's the basics anyway! I've read some people complaining that Minecraft is turning into an RPG, but I believe these new changes will make what is currently, rather lifeless worlds, into vibrant ones. It will be cool, walking around running into NPC's. I'm hoping some of these NPC's will also have jobs, like baker, and blacksmith, and such.

I'm really looking forward to these changes, but feel sad because I'm going to have to start a new world, in order to enjoy it properly.
