Villager sounds were done after Dinnerbone purchased a professional-grade microphone, sending various sounds to C418 to modify for the game. What other noise could they have? Talking is too specific when their actions are relatively varied, and villagers aren't so important as to need an intuitive speech system. It's fitting enough.
Villagers were fine when they were silent. I also don't mind them making a happy noise when you do a trade with them or a pain noise when getting hit or dying. But that ambient noise has to go.
Also is anyone else getting a glitch where you can't remove a block unless you're using the proper tool? I've been playing on a friend's server and I've been having this issue:
-There is a dirt block
-I click on it with a non-shovel in hand or no tool at all
-Nothing happens, it doesn't even do the repeating swing animation when I hold down LMB
-Block is only able to be removed with a shovel or by switching to creative mode
It's not exclusive to dirt blocks, either, every block behaves like this now. I wouldn't mind this too much but certain blocks like hay bales don't have a specific tool to remove them with which means if I place a hay bale there is literally no way to pick it back up again without going to creative.
