 * It's just a chunk of upcoming features under a different name. I don't think it's needed. Just redirect and put (Pretty Scary Update) next to 1.4 --Moxxy 17:39, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Is this scary?
It looks pretty scary to me. :0 RogueJedi6 07:01, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

It dose not look that scary to me. :)

Why is the Mod API still being listed?
Jeb recently tweeted that the Mod API will not make a 1.4 release. Why is it still being listed? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 114.77.52.199 (Talk) 13:07, 30 September 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * Because no one bothered to provide a reference. Anyway, I've found the tweet and removed it myself. Hower64 14:00, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Custom potions?
Does that mean you can make your own type of potions or what?

You can now restore a desolate village or create a completely new village
What? How? If I just build buildings in the middle of nowhere will villagers appear? Do I make buildings exactly like the ones in towns to get specific kinds of villagers? Do I need a well? This is pretty exciting - My villages always spawn on the cliffiest, caviest hunk of plains available and all the testificates die unless I barricade them into their buildings. If I could start with the fence, then the buildings, then have villagers appear, it would be a much nicer village.

you can cure zombie villagers by first hitting them with weakness potion, then giving them a golden apple. after about a day, they will become testificats (note, this may only be done to the newest strand of zombie, the zombie villager)

There will not be a new Dimension in the future Dinnerbone confirms

Pictures
Needs more pictures like the Halloween Update. --Minecraft5025 22:38, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Summary
The summary is to make it similar to Halloween Update and show only a SUMMARY of the features. The full list is still at the bottom. This helps find things faster and Clean Up. This is also not a Version History list or a Upcoming features, messy detail goes there. --Minecraft5025 23:02, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Abbreviated List
So basically there has been an abbreviated list added to the main page, with the full list at the bottom.

What is exactly the purpose of this? This list is messy, incomplete - and anyway, what would you consider a main feature and what isn't? Basically this list is confusing, incomplete and unnecessary. The list is unorganised and senseless. It is just easier to have 1 list with all the features in a nice, organised table, rather than two separate lists with random 'main' features in both. Goandgoo.

 * Purpose? Everything will be moved to Version History when it comes out. --Minecraft5025 (Mclogo.svgGrass.png) 23:14, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Well if you look at the update change for Minecraft 1.3, it is the full update change from redstonehelper's post. What I am saying is that it is confusing having two lists - what is main and what isn't? I propose to remove the abbreviated list. Goandgoo. Talk - Contribs 23:37, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The abbreviated list is sufficiently badly-written that I wouldn't even want to take the time needed to fix it up. The full list is hardly perfect, but having to fix everything twice over would be a real waste of time. So my preference would be to reinstate the full list and ditch the abbreviated one.--82.69.54.207 23:57, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed; there's no good reason to duplicate content like this. The abbreviated list is a series of sentence fragments which don't describe the new features well enough to actually be useful. While it could be improved, the result would be very similar to the original list, so it's not worth the effort. -- Orthotope 02:04, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, looks like its a unanimous decision. I will remove the abbreviated list. Goandgoo. Talk - Contribs 03:57, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Slightly related, this is in response to Minecraft5025. No, this page will still exist when it comes out. All the other named updates still have a page, so should this one.  04:59, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
