I personally love the update on redstone and the addition of Hoppers. It'll make survival a bit easier. Less worries about starving and more time on building. Egg/Chicken farms and Sugar Cane farms can be built in full automation with collection and item storage. Wheat farms will be able to have auto sorting on collection, but will still be semi-auto with the need to replant seeds. No more herobrine? I never got to see one. XD Madness.
