Edit:

Dragons?  Not sure how I feel about a dragon being in the game.  Especially if there are going to be air strikes putting holes in my structures.

Well, seeing as they are "Enderdragon" from the "Ender" dimension, I don't think you'll really need to worry about it unless you start structuring in the Ender.  In which case, no one's fault but your own?

Yea, I didn't see any descriptive text about the dragon when I saw the screen shot.  After reading about it later on, it doesn't seem so bad.

I want one of those as a pet in real life!  I'd name him "traffic-be-gone"!

Chose square because I feel it doesn't match the blockiness.

And WOW it's Round: 20,633 to Square: 20,612!

This is hard. :/ But But, hmm. Let me think. >_>

See I don't like the round moon because it looks a bit off. But that's because its in a phase change. And the sun looks great. But I also like the square. And I like the idea of are planets being square.

I voted square.
btw the vote was:
Round!  22,993
Square! 22,986
when I voted. :P I know it does not really matter because we can texture it. But its fun to mess around.

Does anyone else feel like Minecraft is slowly becoming a completely different game? Ender Realms, Potions, Dragons, Blazers... I just don't feel like this stuff belongs in the game.

No.  I will never understand the people who whine and complain because the game is getting MORE content and things to do.

Well its slowly becoming the game notch said it was going to be. Not all but a lot of these things are things he said he was going to do. But creative mod on peaceful if you want it like the older days. Or just don't update. Or mod. Thats the thing with minecraft, you can make it what you want it to be.

I can't wait for the bugfix day that ensues these content releases. Then, the content will truly feel cohesive. Right now, it's kind of like what FFA feels, about how it seems like Notch puts in some half-hearted work and leaves it to rot in a dark corner while he releases new stuff.

Hey there's a reason why these are updates you have to proactively get and are not pushed on the user when they log in. He makes it clear that these builds are just testing and buggy snippets of what he wants the game to be. I would not really judge him too hard on it. But constrictive feedback about how you feel about the new stuff is what I guess he wants out of it other than to give users a taste.

But I too want a time of bug fixes (I forget the date he said he was going to start) that I know the game will be standing still for a while. Though there is nothing stopping me now (just not updating and play the game I mean) from doing that I just want to do it with new stuff. :)

I am not trying to whine, and I am not trying to complain very much. I like that he is adding things to the game, and I still love the game none-the-less, I just think that the game doesn't have the same feel as it used to. Don't get me wrong, Chaos, I still love the game.
