Frame rates suck. I have to turn smooth lighting off or I get 60fps instead of 200+ like I used to :(

Did find one nice feature. Don't know if it was mentioned in those videos but you can right click and drag to fill out multiple spots on the crafting grid with the same item.

The water filling in without needing a solid block underneath it is also nice.

Hopefully nobody Bauer Grills'ed the nether so we don't have to go too far to find the quartz :)

It's ok. I only had to go about 400 to find quartz. I only went 1 direction so there may be some that's closer. It has similar abundance and vein size to coal so it's not hard to get a heap on a short run.
