I got Minecraft (Alpha) yesterday. I played for a few hours. I made a castle, a dungeon, and a house. I realized that's pretty much what the entire game was. It's like Legos, but slower and you can kill stuff. If you're thinking about getting it, the free version is almost exactly the same. The weapons/enemies don't really add anything to the game. Don't waste 9.95 Euros on it.

Jeb mentioned that the pride and joy of his potion stand, was its interactive design, that apparently rivalled the cauldron so much that it was meant to replace it.
Do you know how it works? (Oh, this is the BRILLIANT part.)
It has a single slot for ingredients at the top, that slowly transfers down into the three potions at the bottom. You pour ingredients into the non-existant funnel, leading to the non-existant container, that passes them magically (without the need for any fluids or filtering what-so-ever apparently because the waiting potions are filled with water and that's close enough) down into three potions.
Jebs brilliant invention is a contraption that makes you sprinkle ingredients into three potions at once, but slowly.
Never mind that Jeb must have come up with this while doing shrooms, and has no idea what "brewing" even means: How was this "interactive design" better than putting water, then ingredients, then a couple of bottles, into a cauldron? How was this better than using the bloody WORKBENCH to mix a bottle, ingredients and water, into as many potions as you'd like (and letting them blend while you walk to the place to use them at)?
HOW WAS THIS BETTER IN ANY WAY, JEB???!
THIS IS *NEGATIVE* INTERACTIVE DESIGN!

Possibly ever worse than the potion stand, is that many 1.9 chunks wont generate at all, greeting you with endless pitfalls into nothingness and death.
A working terrain generation is the backbone of Minecraft, but now chunks just generate if they feel like it.

Build a boat, a minecart, a workbench with tools, or perhaps 64 pieces of railway? Just takes the resources and one click (and in the case of the rails, also the Shift key).
You want to sprinkle a something into a POTION? WOAH THERE! Welcome to Jeb Land. One doesn't just sprinkle into Mordor. Magical drugs take tme, and patience, and a huge amount of disbelief. Go build a stack of furnaces or something while this awesomeness is brewing.

That actually made perfect sense, because it does look similar to a chemistry set ring stand. Jeb might not be able to tell the difference between brewing and chemistry, replacing brewing with chemistry without even realising it. I don't think that's unlikely.
...another possibility, though, is that he simply Googled for "brewing" and "stand", and saw this picture among the first ones: http://cdn.nexternal.com/hombre/images/TopTier_stand_only2.jpg

Enderdragons... They really speak for themselves.
According to Notch on Twitter and Reddit, they are 100% invulnerable and eats terrain basically like a huge Pacman. If you've seen The Langoliers, you know what's coming. Even the Minecraft userbase thought this was a fucking joke at first, but today (12th October) Notch confirmed it two times over. Apparently the future RED dragons will be only "slightly less dangerous".
I am so not upgrading to 1.9.
MINECRAFT SUCKS AND PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BUY IT BECAUSE IT GETS BORING AND PEOPLE NAGGING ABOUT IT ARE SMALL KIDS WHO LIKE LEGO!!!!!

Pre-release 4 (or Alpha 0.4) was released yesterday:
"Sometimes mobs spawn in daytime above ground in the sunlight.
Mobs will sometimes spawn in a well lit room.
[!!] Shooting a sheep will crash the game."
Also after awhile the generation just gives up on generating chunks, and just generates endless ocean.
Instead of these pre-releases featuring less and less game-breaking bugs, they feature more and more, and it is at this point that Notch decides to set a final release date for Minecraft, at which point (judging by this rate) the game will have stopped generating chunks at all, and torches will be completely useless, especially against the invincible Pacman dragons.
Well, unless you play on Peaceful mode, that is.

I hope notch fails hard and minecraft slimes itself into the toilet of obscurity where it now belongs after what notch has done to it. I also hope he gets sued by Bathesda hardcore and has to give up all his money. I will laugh seeing him homeless for stealing the minecraft code and then pandering to furrys.
Fuck minecraft. It had potential but now its crap.
Fuck Notch he is the furry king of faggots.

A few months ago, Notch admitted that endermen were fucking annoying griefer mobs, and told us: "I shall fix this." ...so now, in the latest alpha release, endermen run around still picking up any block they find, but now they have TWICE the health. Good job on making them LESS annoying.

That's why there were no respawns in the early versions of Minecraft. You only had one life. That makes you genuinely afraid of the monsters. Minecraft started out as being legitimately hard. If you called a skeleton a "skelly" or a "skellington" it would fire an arrow so far up your colon, it'd PHYSICALLY remove those thoughts from your brain.

I could see it being that hard if you only had only one spawn.
Good thing there's hardcore mode out now, though. Lets some nostalgia flow in, right? With the exception of all the new features.
Sure would suck going into 'The End' on HC, though, right now.

You clearly don't understand what the word "potential" means. You don't cite how the game IS as a counterpoint to someone talking about what it COULD be.

He is comparing how it IS to how it WAS. Shitty games come out all the time and if you happen to be fooled into buying them, then well, at least you could have seen it coming if you had read some reviews.
...but when Minecraft came out, it WAS good enough to buy, and then it TURNED INTO shit. Notch took a simple concept such as mining, and then turned that concept into its very opposite.
Imagine if you liked Super Mario games, and all of a sudden a mandatory update came out that made Mario come out of the closet and ASSFUCK his opponents. You should have seen it coming with him sporting that gay moustache, right?
...and all of a sudden, everyone at your local Super Mario forum starts banning straight people, for being rapists, for no reason on any level. That's the Minecraft Forum for you.
Super Mario WAS a platforming game, and you BOUGHT IT as a platforming game, but it TURNED INTO an anal simulator with male turtles, because Nintendo suddenly came out of the closet.

Bloody hell... That was a furry server. Notch has nothing to do with the furfags- only the owners of the server can ban. Or admins. The community is spread out. Fail. Troll is fail xD Try some GOOD servers- like bestmc.no-ip.org. It's whitelisted, though, so you gotta sign up on the website. And I do know the rule: Nothing is to be taken seriously, except for these rules. And the Internet. Cuz' that's SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.

Oooh, scary "Hardcore" Hode:
"can anybody else test to see if creepers in hardcore cause little to no damage? I had 2 blow up in my face point blank, I had no armor and I took 1 and a half heart of damage from each explosion."
Also, these alpha versions aren't really "out". Players are saying that 1.9 is "out". Although it's in the worst gray area I've ever seen, it's not out.

We get that Mojang loves Sonic the Furry, so the players has to manually collect these "rings" to gain XP, and for the longest time people have wondered if there's an actual POINT to that whole XP system besides being a furry.
...so Mojang fiddled around and added levels. Then some players started to ask what the LEVELS were for as well, so Mojang had enchanting cost levels or something.
Having fagginess drain levels of furry essence seemed contraproductive to the minecrafters, so now there's apparently a big ability screen instead. This screen doesn't actually do anything - it's just an ability screen. (You can add points to mining or woodcutting, but they don't do anything, and the points doesn't save.) However, this foreshadows the introduction of the game dynamic that killing things will make you better at everything. Want to suceed in life? Kill things! Besides Notch brainwashing his players into an ACTUAL faggot army in this way, he replaced mining as the core game mechanic (of MINEcraft), with killing, and in doing this, he's stepping onto the turf of every other MMORPG in the world. Good luck becoming the next WoW, Notch.

Someone should rape the minecraft website. I have ooze dripping out my butt and its the next minecraft version.
Protip: minecraft will never be out of beta.
Protip: Notch is into scat and animal sex
Protip: Minecraft is stolen code, so its a different programming language so what. Notch just directly copied the code variables into a different language.
Protip: Minecraft is boring.
Protip: Minecraft is not a "creative game" when all you do is make stuff that everyone else has already made or copy designs of the golden gate bridge. That is called mimicry.
Protip: Minecraft is also not creative because all you do is build out of 40 diffrent 1x1 blocks. Lego does better then that.
Protip: Pedobears and 10 year old furfags play the game, oh and retarded people.
Protip: I get my dick sucked by not playing minecraft.
