I like the clay hills, I had always hoped to see deep red desert rocks and real stratification. I often see formations in the game that look like amazing desert rocks, but they always turn out to be earth.

Nice to see they are absolutely running out of anything of any value to add to the game now. They have shitty, expansive and bland sea biomes with nothing in them. Any updates for those?

Apparently, yes. But I'm not holding my breath for it being anything amazing.

Heheh, holding breath... Cus it's the sea. Heheh.

In other news, I like the look of the forest and cliffs could be cool if they put a bit more effort into them than that. Nice invitation for sea-caves in my mind...
Though to be honest, Minecraft is a bit tired to my mind. I might dip into it once every few months but no matter what they add, I doubt it'll recapture the excitement of those early days. Once you've built a couple of really big castles, there's not much left to do except recreate scenery from Time Team, and even that doesn't have the staying power.

Sea caves would be cool if there was scuba gear available in the game. Otherwise, you'd need to block of the entrance and laboriously remove all the water blocks from the inside as well, in order to mine stuff. Or just swim around in them until you die, if that's your thing.

Yeah, MC has no appeal to me either anymore. I might have started the game up once since the latest update, but none of the content was interesting enough for me to stay longer than finding my way out of the jungle I spawned in.

I'l looking forward to Starbound. If it catches on around here, it could be turned into the new Forums game...

Still waiting on that OWF and VGToolbox crossover thingy. If it was even a thing to being with.

Bumped for Phylum.

So anyone keen on getting a server up to explore an exciting new world?

My Minecraft server is still up and running. Adding a new 1.8 world next to the current one shouldn't be much of a problem. Or you could just explore the current one beyond it's borders once the update hits.

The video is about setting new generation options for worlds. It won't work in existing ones.

I was thinking less of a regular server thing, and more of a getting a few people together at the same time and exploring/colonising thing.

Woo, you can make fu***** nice worlds with that option :o

So basically this is TerrainControl built into vanilla Minecraft with an actual GUI? Been waiting for ages, I take it the world is no longer customisable after it's generated though right?

That's really nice but I doubt that will get me back into Minecraft. I think my time with that game has ended.

Which is odd to say since I still watch Minecraft videos...

^ Basically this, except I don't watch Minecraft videos. :P

For me, Minecraft stopped being fun when it became rather more complex, I just loved it most for what it was a la 1.7 - 1.8.

Though, if this generation thingie is any good I might give it a go.
