Would you do it if you were already obscenely wealthy though? My impression of Notch is that he already has more than he knows what to do with. Not sure he'll be so easy to purchase as a result, but will be interesting to see how it turns out. It looks like Notch put up his share of Mojang for sale...

It wasn't long ago he was bad-mouthing Microsoft and disparaging big name developers - everyone has their price and two billion is astronomically higher than almost anyone's, so it will be interesting to see how he eats his words off of his new platinum flatware. Not that I blame him. I'd do it too...

Not happening. Microsoft has nothing to gain from adquiring a publisher that has already released it's product to other competitors (i.e. Playstation 4, Iphone, Android, PSvita). Unless Minecraft 2 is on the pipeline, or Microsoft can force it to be on the pipeline, Mojang has no other assets that ...

Sorry for the slow. The Vattic pack is now updated for support of Better Than Wolves version 4.99999A0C Marsupial?! for Minecraft 1.5.2.

Thanks to Sockthing and Yhetti for the textures!

It looks like villagers will harvest and replant crops. https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/425648729111408640

What feature(s) of the vanilla horse utilize the GUI, and what are your plans for implementing those features without the GUI?

It be cool to play a first-person shooter designed to take advantage of that human trackball thing. It'd be cool to get excersize while playing and feel like I'm actually there. I'm worried it would be easy to trip while using it, though. And just from glancing at it, I imagine it would have to be d...

Personally, I think having some kind of neck is a good idea. Most of the animals have their own defining attribute: a single extra bit of detail on the model that particularly suits the particular animal. I think in the case of horses, that a neck is definitely it, or it will wind up looking like a...

Maybe leads would be better if the player could only lead one animal at a time, and the player wasn't able to drag the animal along at full speed. The animal is pretty heavy, Steve shouldn't be able to just drag the animals along, the tethered animals should prevent Steve from moving too far away if...

Feel free to ignore this post, because, outside opinions are like pfft. Isn't minecrafts general entity rule: no necks and k.i.s.s.? I think that is why the horse seems so odd compared to the other animals. Has anyone tried modeling a cow with longer legs, half the body height(to make up for the le...

It looks like you need at least 2.5-meter-high ceilings to mount a horse without taking suffocation damage. Hopefully this will make use of horse troublesome in areas with lots of trees like forests, taiga, jungles, and maybe swamps. Horses would probably work best in plains, desserts, ice plains, a...

I thought the 6-pixel neck was skinny, but after seeing the 6-pixel neck I thought the original 8-pixel neck looked too fat. So I changed it to 7 pixels. Your tail was perfect. I didn't change the tail any. Maybe half-pixel offsets aren't so bad, but Mojang was going way overboard with boxes partial...

I made a mistake in the mane. It extended 1.5 pixels above the head before; now it only extends 1 pixel and is 1 pixel skinnier. After watching the video, I think the horse looked a little stubby, so I made the legs 1 pixel taller. I don't think the design of the horse model should be based on the t...

I don't think a zombie would have the dexterity needed to ride a horse; I think the zombie would eat the horse.

jecowa: It would be of great assistance if I could have the file for the Model you made. Current state of affairs without it: tjf-11JNIQ4 Sorry, I've never done modeling before. I don't know if this file will help. Here's a zipped file containing the MCModeler save file and the exported code from b...

If the leash worked on hostiles, I would try to attach a creeper to a skeleton to make getting a CD easier. It used to be a lot easier to get those CDs before the AI changes.

If you could attach yourself to a chicken and jump off a cliff, I wonder if the chicken would slow your fall.

wow the changes i this update are really nice i like how it is feeling like a real world mod unlike "mincraft pysics" stuff nice work FC Huh? :) Translation: Wow, the changes in this update are really nice. I like that it feels like a real world with this mod, unlike with vanilla-Minecraf...

Anyone who is willing to do anything to help in these regards are welcome to help out. I myself would gladly do the texturing if I find the time, and someone can throw the new horse model texture sheet my way. Here is an example texture sheet: http://i.imgur.com/1DdqwM9.jpg Here is the labeled vers...

I am also completely apart from the art skills required for new mobs, that said, if someone who did have those skills wanted to see horses put back in as a balanced mechanic that lives somewhere outside of the uncanny valley, I think we could put together a Better Than Horses add on team. I would b...

I think the villagers are better now that they make noises. We will probably get used to their new voices over time. They are kind of annoying, but so are all the farm animals. Maybe that's why so many play with the sound off.

The game looks unnatural with view bobbing off - like I'm pushing around a camera on wheels.

Do you think villagers will be speaking soon?

That's awesome. I won't have to use a mod to change my sound pack anymore.
