Something I would like to see is the ability to build your own village and attract your own villagers, as seen in Terraria. It seems silly to me that you have to generate a new chunk to see villagers. X:

After trying a few different seeds tonight I've finally picked one to stick with. It has me starting out on a medium size island surrounded by water for as far as I can see.
The island is covered by trees and has a real nice sized ravine at the one end. It's a deep Y-shaped ravine with a few waterfalls into it.
So I punch a few trees and make a good sized cave home along the shoreline. It is a pre existing cave, I just sealed it up with cobble walls and a few doors. So during the night I start digging down from within my cave and I don't get but a few blocks down before I tunnel into this monster of a cave hole:
It goes down farther than I can see from up here, seems to be filled with lots of mobs, and has several waterfalls into it. Time to start stair-casing my way down and see just how deep this monstrosity is...

Well I went to the edge of the map in my 1.8 world, and it seems like there is no problem with generating the new biomes outside of where I've explored so far. I will check the other sides, but this may work out really well. I will make a minecart track to take me from 1.8 land to 1.9 land. It's really not that far of a distance if I can find a couple stacks of iron.
Still can't find a snow biome though

I imagine the reason the display is still there on death is because it doesn't impact gameplay in any way and makes an amusing easter egg for people who have been playing since the beginning.

The seed is "Mengys World", typed just like that but without the quotes. I didn't like how Mengy's World generated in 1.9 so I removed the apostrophe and got this island spawn point. I also tried a few other seed names but this is my favorite one so far. It seemed like alot of the seeds I tried started in a swamp, and I really don't want to start in a swamp, lol.
It's because of the Nether, water doesn't work there against a lava burn:Grinchy said:

WOAH. Now that's interesting! I may have just found my new preferred way to play Minecraft.
However, I wish hardcore mode would be implemented a bit differently. Instead of deleting the world upon death, the world should subsequently only be playable in ghost mode, where the world can still be played but the player can only fly around looking at things in like a God mode. The world can not be altered in any way, nothing more can be built or changed, and no blocks can be altered any more. Mobs wouldn't even see you or attack you, and the player would be able to even fly through walls and solid surfaces (since they can't open doors this would be necessary). This way you could still visit a world full of impressive things you had built and even visit the place of your death, but the world would be forever locked and done with for playing in. THAT would be awesome....
Man.. are the beds broken for anyone else...? Since 1.8 every time I build a small house with a bed on it, when I try to sleep I always get hit by a skeleton or something so I can't sleep. I've tried perfectly sealing my house with outer walls, having the bed FLOATING in the middle of the room, have lights all around.. and nothing. Every time some skeleton will somehow get inside my room and hit me. Ughh...

Instead if making lava weaker, they should just make it beatable. Much more fun. Like craftable, lava-proof armor made of Ghast skin. Don't ruin the challenge by making it easier. Just make it an obstacle.

Nooo .. I escaped WoW back in January. I don't want Zangarmarsh following me to other games!
Yeah I noticed this earlier when I loaded a Creative world I'd been using to experiment with lava/glass ceiling lighting. Needless to say, the effect of the lava leaking through the glass ruins the whole thing. Oh well, things like this are the reason I've stopped playing properly until 1.10 is released, so no big deal really.

Eh? Hang on, you mean I've been playing this game since alpha and bashing space to jump each time, when I could have just held it down and jumped automatically!? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!
Edit: @Mik2121 - My bed's working fine, but it's currently in the middle of an ocean with no land mass in site.

Heh, I've been toying with the idea of building Howling Fjord as it happens.

A Neocraft Smurf village!!! Actually with colored wools as building materials that could be a very creative kind of project. Think like a Minecraft version of a technicolor Booty Bay surrounded by giant mushrooms like in Zangarmarsh in WoW. Flowers and fountains everywhere, even some of the giant mushrooms could have pools of water on top of them that cascade down the sides to the ground.
It could be called Groovy Bay! LOL

Well think of it this way, before 1.8 you had a chance of surviving contact with lava if you had enough food. The changes to how you regained health in 1.8 meant that contact with lava was now a guaranteed death (Assuming a lack of water). What there doing by nerfing fire affects isnt making it so lava and fire Cant kill you, but rather making it so you have a chance at living.
Hey Ark! Could you just grab the leaked version of the server client for 1.9 and let us play in Creative all together? Right now mostly everybody has updated to 1.8 or 1.9 and not many people is enjoying the server. It would be a great thing to have until the official 1.9 release and the bukkit update.

I've recreated the above-ground portion of the undercity before. It looked so cool
Well there's murky water in the game now, so who knows, maybe green swamp water will be added at some point. You should have filled it with slimes!
I recreated Quake DM4 one night when I got home from the pub. 5 minutes after finishing it, I fell in the lava :lol
