Oh yeah, I forgot, the way terrain gens is somewhat more different in that it is now VERY VERY unlikely to find a desert next to an ice plain.

The biomes are now divided into four temperature categories and when placing biomes the bigger the distance between the categories the less likely such a biome will be placed (e.g. you might get a jungle next to a desert, or a temperate taiga next to an ice plain, but a jungle next to an ice plain is unlikely).

I don't think taigas can be temperate, actually...

I couldn't find the right word. What I meant is snowless Taiga. There are two versions of it now, one with and one without snow.

Don't forget the Mesa and Ice Spike biomes.

It doesn't let you directly modify files, for one.

The new launcher requires a login at start up. I do not possess a login, because I can't afford one.

I hope they're going to raise the clouds to above the max z-level, instead of having shitty coulds blocking the view.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Heh, I remember back in ye olden early Beta days (I know, I know, there was the whole Alpha and before, but I started in Beta 1.1_02) when cloud level was at 127 or so.

I've gotten a mod called... Opti-fine (I think?) which adds an option to turn clouds off, also a number of other things to improve loading and so on.

If I could afford it I would pay. However, I can't. I also can't play online, and so am not part of their server costs. Me getting the game in this form has merely persuaded me to get the full game when i eventually have the money spare.
