minecraft is an original and ingenious game it could be fun if not for the kkk-hitler-of-a-death-penalty which strips it off any kind of fun for me
the latest "final" version is rather unfinished to say the least strongholds are a big disappointment and the abandoned mine shafts while interesting, almost always glitch and become rather unsightly
NPC villages are somewhat ok but they serve no purpose/bring nothing new to the game, really and are an end in itself
during my few hour playtest of 1.0 I had grave difficulty finding anything that wouldn't be plain taiga or swampland, the world still lacks variation there are plenty of biomes and such
but they look all the same why for example there are no giant rocks and overhangs in the swamp biome ? but they are pretty much limited to mountains biome
also to my grave disappointment the biome with large lakes and hills is no longer present (or was merged with forest biome)
the game was rushed a lot in the last phases of development making some of the mods being of higher quality/effort and elaboration than the official
Final? It's not final.
The switching from Alpha to Beta to Final weren't solid lines, it's just when Notch figured the game didn't have enough bugs so he changed the development stage. It's still going to have updates, and infact if you actually took the time to research at ALL you would note that development builds are uploaded weekly and a large update is planned soon.
As for swamps not having cliffs and overhangs, think about that statement, name a swamp with mountains in the middle of it. And as for Taiga and Swampland only, try walking more than a hundred blocks, Biome size was increased in 1.8. Also, something to realize, the "large lakes" that used to spawn are duck ponds in actual scale, the "ocean" biomes are Much closer to what an actual lakes size would be. Occasionally you will also find "crater lakes" about 60 blocks across, roughly circular, and deep.
The game isn't final, not even close. Mojang plans to update it until hell freezes over. Hell, I expect a full C# code-rewrite will be done at some point and released for free (to Alpha buyers and below :> , Maybe Beta)
And as for "Hitler Nazi Facist KKK death" Quit whining, learn how to fight, and wear some damn armor.
