Minecraft is a first-person fighter/sandbox construction game created by Mojang AB.
Biomes. They're not final yet, but this is about how they will be in the Halloween update.
Monster spawning and terrain features can be tied to individual biomes, so some biomes could get special trees, or special mobs, or different grass, to make them all more unique.

It might be hard to tell, but there's about 10 different biomes in this video. The most obvious ones are the arctic ones (with and without trees) and the desert ones. I will spend time on giving the other ones unique looking features like new trees and so.
Grass, leaf and sky color varies depending on the temperature and humidity in the area you are.

and yes. snow biomes/biome size will be adjusted. notch said he'd adjust them.
Does snow drop if you come across snow area?
no idea
We can finally see nice, red sunsets, and they look great.
yeah. they look fantastic.
Fantastic? THEY LOOK INCREDIBLY MAGNIFICENT!

Minecraft isn't a game. It's ******* art.
0:39 left side awsome mountaun base spot and cant wait for biomes!
and how big can a minecraft world get????
it grows as you explore, or until you delete it from becoming too big XD
realistically i believe its 18x the surface of the earth, or 8x. either way really F***ing big
*8 i think it was.
Yeah, 8 times. 4096 million km square to be exact.
Takes the cake for the largest video game world ever.
it would be cool to see different trees depending on wich biome your in
how about some white leaves then just placing a tile on the top of the tree leaves
I... I... Wow...
Thats gonna be a big savegame :D
02:44 to the left... spontaneuos combustion? or just a lava flow... look strange xP
also... make a screen saver out of the random map generator o_ o
please...
Even if this was the only new feature in the update, I would still be happy.
Looks like a remake of Crysis and Farcry 2 which is 1,000 times better than the original game/s :D
