He is supposedly releasing a new content patch in the next month or two. I think it is the one where he was telling everyone he was going to have to break saves.
It needs more content ofc.. And make minerals more frequent to find so you dont have to mine for hours just to get a couple of iron bars...
Other than that its a fantastic game with lots of potential...
Im just a little concerned about that "secret new game" Notch mentioned on his blog... Could take their focus away from Minecraft... Wich would be a shame...
But Notch is a cool dude, so i expect the best...

Yeah, I agree. However, any good developer won't have you break saves for a minor update.Audio said:I'm just dreading the death of my world and having to start again
Well beta isn't any different than alpha, there's just a certain point that Notch said he wanted to get to before he changed the label and upped the price.
I think he'll be adding new stuff until we all run out of ideas and the updates become really obscure and mostly aesthetical, like decorations and stuff. Somewhere along the line he'll start working on other projects along-side minecraft and hopefully we'll get some other awesome games :3

OT: So far, the beta is just alpha with a new name, but Minecraft is Minecraft and if Notch delivers on his promises of epic new content, then he might just rekindle my love of it.
I think it needs new features to be honest. I get bored after awhile, specifically after I build the base, mine to the bottom of the world and get some materials. I feel like there should be a storymode option. Nothing too invasive, but having a goal would help. Maybe some type of transportation? Also, I think he should add more types of minerals and make the map taller. It only goes like 128 blocks high. If it's a mining game, there should be more mining.
That's my point. Unless you don't think Notch is a good developer. If he does break saves for a minor update, he is retarded. But he is claiming he is going to break saves. I would bet that he will be bringing in a lot of changes to the core of the game all at once. Possibly those villages? I know he is going to be adding in water mobs which I think is great.SomeBoredGuy said:Whoever said it was a minor update?Savagezion said:Yeah, I agree.

I'm waiting for the finished product before I go all out on a Minecraft binge. No massively wrecked saves for me!
