That's better. But couldn't they figure a way to make things look less blocky?

I think that will defeat the reason for minecraft to exist.... think of it like Lego building with insane elements from other genres.

The blockyness is part of the whole point of minecraft. Trust me. I've played games that have tried to allow you to be as creative with smaller and smaller voxels and it usually turns into a mess. The smaller the blocks the more blocks must be placed to make shapes the more tools you need such as copy, cut, paste, blueprints, etc. It starts to get overwhelming. Add on top of that smothing and other features and you no longer have a product nearly every 5 year old can work with, let alone a 10 year old. I've known 15-20 year olds who can't figure out such tools.
