    Ah, yes. I saw this on Reddit. This is probably Youtube spam, if you didn't know. Or... maybe not. I'm sure people care about this. 
     
    I think this is awesome.

    That's pretty awesome, I don't like having to go through 4 or 5 worlds when making a new one to get one I like.

    I feel like the transitions between environments might be a bit close.  I think it'd add a lot to the game if the biomes were very far apart, and maybe even had more unique characteristics / resources.  It would give you good reason to use the hell portals or other transportation.

    @Diamond:  Remember, Notch isn't finished working on them. He said that he plans to make them bigger and have a lot smoother transitions, with unique blocks and mobs in each.

    Is that orange glow that you see at dawn and dusk new as well? It looks nice and I don't remember seeing it.

    I agree. Also, less snow and more desert. Well at least have snow mostly on high mountains. It would be awesome if there was just a giant salt flat biome. The constant hills can be boring after a while.

    Yea I realize it could be improved far from here.  Just a wish list element that eventually the biomes will be more significant.
