Updates like Crazy

So with 1.9 getting more and more informations and again a second test version being out minecraft is updating a lot. A lot of new stuff is added and information on even newer stuff is coming up daily. This happens because in 3 weeks the new stuff is supposed to stop completally for a whole month so the makers can use all their time to fix problems instead (which is needed a lot) and make the game perfect, because one month later it goes out of beta for the full release. Creating big projects is quite pointless, because with every update old worlds won't work properly anymore.
