Jens Bergensten has today revealed one of the new features he’s working on for Minecraft Beta 1.9.

Minecraft is sooo turning into a RPG.

[Convas]

Well, people were complaining that the it need to take on some sort of purpose.

I'm all good with it as long as they continue to add the free-roaming elements to the game. More items, more food, more mobs, more animals, etc.

I rather like the new directions!

[NuclearDuke]

I'd rather he made more blocks, more tools and more building options than food, armor, mobs etc.

Stay true to your roots Notch...Minecraft is a mine'n'build game!

You say that like it's a bad thing lol.

[TheIneffableBob]

I think this was sort of the intention for survival mode all along.

[Shackdaddy836]

I hope they have a mining update. I'm sick of getting to the both so easily...

[kcuthbertson]

What??

[Shackdaddy836]

Mining update!

Would be great if they added like 50 new blocks and 200 new recipes.

[evrfighter]

I want earthquakes that destroy unsupported mine shafts

[easto1a]

helll no i get pissed enough when creepers blow up my house let alone random earthquakes collapsing my mine!!

[Elwenil]

Yeah, I am curious if there is any plan to introduce some physics so that unsupported tunnels and random floating land masses will fall. Would be an interesting change to not be able to build a city supported only by a one block square pedestal, lol.

i thought 1.8 was gd 1.9 is gonna be the s***

[just_looken]

now all they need is to get it to stop looking lie a ps1 game.
