Replying to a redditor:

> Yeah I swear cliffdiving is almost an intentional feature it's so common and so difficult

> When I added this as a feature, I wanted them to take the fall time into consideration for their fuse - so big drops would explode quicker. I forgot to add a cap onto it though, and so for a short while it would rain instant-exploding creepers onto you. Fun but scary!

Replying to the post "BIG NEWS! We have found the SEED of Minecraft's title-screen background PANORAMA!".

> Interesting stuff, nice work!
>
> The first title screen panorama was actually originally in-game render of a live world, with custom worldgen and the seed "splash" 100. I would have figured this was a screenshot from that, but consider me surprised and impressed! :D
>
> Edit: It turns out that was an even earlier panorama, and the one in this post came later. The first one was never released, though. Here's a screenshot of what it would have looked like: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/721776112014721096/734129117058039808/unknown.png

In the thread "I am Dinnerbone, a Minecraft developer. Ask Me Absolutely Anything.".

> I once knew a guy named Teabone, a very long time ago. He was kind to me and was a very cool guy, so I took this name in respect to him.
