Emeralds

Can't figure out if it is in the game yet or not, can anyone tell me ?
Also trading with villagers, is that possible yet

 

I thought that was in the Minecraft snapshot version?
It's not in the original Minecraft though.

 

Next pointless update

Can't wait to check those piramids!

 

Niceee, can't wait to check it out

 

Its currently 1.2.5 TO BE 1.3, guys. The snapshot is basically a demo that is updated every week. Looks cool. The game is getting too big now, though. I want it to be 1.4 again...

 

I agree man. Less is more with minecraft. Getting too complicated.

 

Couldnt agree more. ex. I haven't even put myself into the brewing potions thingy. I'll probably never do neither. Honestly, I liked early beta of minecraft.. when it was only like pure bugs fixing, and no adding and twitching

 

The funny thing is, minecraft's selling point was about survival and isolation yet with every update after 1.8 they've done completely the opposite.

 

and they nerfed fire spread so much

 

It's so easy to survive nowadays! now random chests da fuq

 

Most of that stuff there adding into the game has already been created in "industrial craft"

I wonder if they will start to add more like dark matter and nuclear stuff
