Okay, so what exactly are you suggesting in this thread? Some kind of review, or what? You contributed nothing other than:

lots of new stuff
lots of bugs
lots of lag

Why don't you elaborate on it because that info is worthless.

Wow, I didn't know the game. But now I have seen a screenshot. That game looks like sh*t. Reminds me of DOS.

Looks like, but isn't. It has so many possibilities. If you dislike the basic textures, use a "HD" texture pack along with many other mods to change how the world is rendered.

It is true, Minecraft's graphics leave a lot to be desired. The biggest reason for this is that it is written entirely in Java.

However minecraft achieves something that to date I've seen in no other game- the world growing and changing all by itself, while still allowing nearly complete freedom of interaction with that world including the ability to change it. For a MUD-like game, that is quite an impressive feat.

The gameplay itself is actually quite smooth with the right setup, and it is very easy to spend hours on end playing it if you have any kind of creative motivation. It's almost like a game of infinite legos when played as a creative free-build.
