Minecraft 1.7 - What will be in it?

[Old_Spice_]

Hi everyone,

Coming back from my trip, I was thrilled to see that Minecraft 1.7 development was going on! I checked the features on the MC Wiki, and some of the features that are proposed and likely implemented are making me quite excited, so I decided to share them to you, and we can all share opinions on it! So let's get down to it. This is the log from the Minecraft Wiki. Enjoy!

• 1.7
• It contains biome changes and new biomes, and might contain changes to oceans.
• Improved biome transition/generation.
• Clay Canyon Mountain type biome jokingly referred to as "Disco Mountains".
  Spoiler

  
• Composed of multiple colored hardened clays.
• Dead bushes spawn in this biome.
• Redwood Forest biome.
  Spoiler

  
• Contains 2x2 Spruce trees.
• Will have a grass block variant known as Podzol.
• Currently obtained only by silk touch
• Dirt blocks that don't allow grass to grow spawn in this biome also, it has a value of 1 (Only obtainable with /give because there is no visual difference)
• Moss Stone 'boulders' are scattered around in this biome
• Dead Bushes, Mushrooms, and Ferns spawn in this biome
• Spruce Trees will generate in Extreme Hills biomes.
• A lot less "black spots" in the terrain generator.
• Torch bugs in strongholds and mineshafts have been fixed.
• A community oriented feature
• Changes to Fishing mechanics.
• Possibly Cherry Trees added by Patrick Geuder.
• They vary "seasonally" by having leaf blocks change color every fourth day for three minutes.
• Contain pink saplings.
• A possible new achievement.
• New scoreboard functions.
• Rewrite of one or more option screens.
• Rewrote Key Config.
• Function and sprint keys can be changed.

Now I don't know about you guys, But I am really excited about 1.7! Some of the features, such as the canyons or the trees, really excite me and...... I just want to see the snapshots.

So tell me your opinions! Do you like what could be implemented? No? What should be changed? What should be added?

I'm really excited! Especially about the trees and new biomes!

awesome

I want the new features but I hate how updates kill plugins! Everyone expects the plugins to instantly be ready but it takes ages, and people complaining really gets on my nerves ;p

I love the Canyon biomes, that is awesome!

Canyon biomes and trees changing color looks awesome!

Hopefully this update won't completely break the game and core PvP mechanics...

I doubt it. I think for this update, it will be just like Beta 1.7, the Adventure update, with new biomes, features, etc.

I hope that they add sugar and spice and all things nice...

Changing the sprint key?
I wonder how that'll work.
If it turns out like a Better-Sprint-Mod that everyone uses, then less h4x0rs! c: Although we'll have to get used to it... T_T
