A noble decision. I can, however, assure you that 1.8 is truly as awesome as it looks.Quote:

For those under a rock (and the scared babymen who can't use a .jar for life):
HOW TO INSTALL 1.8
- Download: http://assets.minecraft.net/1_8-pre/minecraft.jar
- Start Menu
- Search %appdata%
- Open roaming folder
- Find and open your .minecraft folder
- Replace the old .jar file in there with the leaked one
- Start Minecraft
If you do download the game, do us all a favor and REPORT ALL BUGS AND GLITCHES YOU FIND IN THE GAME! Complaining about the bugs is not going to help. If you want the official release update to be working smoothly, then help Notch and all of us out by finding and reporting the bugs.
Also, post screencaps of your gameplay so others (mainly non 1.8 players) can see the update's changes. Screencapping bugs and glitches are even better.
wooo! combat is much more.....non irritating!
It's more fun and rewarding now.Quote:

Monday's not far off now, I think I'll wait. :)
EDIT: Just tested chest blocks, the second thing in the picture was a soundbite for chests (Same one as doors.).
And yes, I am fickle. :p
The 1.8 pre release is awesome but, what was Notch thinking when he removed the fog toggle!?!? I can barley play with this lag!! D: I hope he adds it in again.
You know you can go into options and change the render distance right?Quote:

Update!
If you are crashing from furnaces, change your graphics from "Fancy" to "Fast".
Underground ravines are insane!

Here are some screen shots I've taken while playing my 1.8 Pre-release Survival file.
Spoiler - Chest
I'm loving 1.8 :D Started a new world, in a swamp forest (It's full of trees) and on one side it's a HUGE mountain. And when I got to the top, there were valleys, and more to the mountain :) And ravines. Have yet to go underground, but enders still freak me out, especially when I don't notice looking at them, but I did, so they teleport to me
wait. when you update... do you lose your old worlds??
No, but new content (villages, strongholds, mineshafts, vines, etc) will not exist in any pre-generated chunks.Quote:

Ah cool. would have hated to lose all my tunnels. 8')Quote:

I believe a new world will generated but the old world won't be lost. You'll be able to teleport back and forth between the old world and the new world on the server.Quote:

I think I'll hop back and forth. After all, new building materials and objects can be brought back into and used in the old world.
Aww...
I'm not the type to go back to using old versions of things...
so it's unlikely I'll use the old world. ohwell... Guess I'll have to start over my tunnels yet again. :S

Vines seem to be the new mushrooms, eh? Infinitely growing larger, all consuming, the ender of worlds, far reaching. "Is that a forest?" a son would ask, "No," says his father, "That's just the unholy Land of Vines. One day they'll be growing on you too."
Also, notch better add sprint as a normal control, as I want it to be shift. W+w tends to not always work and it's kind of a nuisance.
While on the topic of complaints I better throw in the fact that raise in fly mode is the same button as stop flying, and that when your feet touch a block you stop flying >:C Zombe did both flying and sprinting so well. Why couldn't Notch just fully copy him?
Oh and hey, why does flying feel like you are on ice? It's hard to be precise when you can't stop when you want to.
Must..... contain...... jealousy!!
Would it go faster if I got new ram sticks? :/
Just thought I'd let you know that you can grow giant mushrooms, use some bonemeal on one. Not sure if it works on brown mushrooms.
ugh. I can't wait to be able to get the vanilla server up so we can start screwing with stuff. c'mon! release NAO!
oh yea. i should point out that 1.8 will absolutely break half of the mods on the server at present, and will do horrible, horrible things to mcMMO and probably spout. so, I'd expect that it will be a good while till the bukkit server with all of it's awesomeness is back up and fully running. we'll switch back over to bukkit as soon as a stable release happens and work our way from there.
It might. Depends if the rest of your computer can actually handle it well enough :)Quote:

It also seems that using bonemeal on a mushroom automatically turns the block its sitting on to dirt.
Mushrooms can be placed on top of each other to form giant mushy columns!
also, all animals (except sheep, iirc,) can drop cookable meats! Zombies drop rotten flesh but it can't be cooked and ....hrm....what does it do to ya? Lets find out!
.....hrm. it turns your hunger bar green and causes it to deplete rapidly. So now ya know. rotten meat gives you food poisoning!

The all-consuming vines! When I got back from mining, they were covering my door and I couldn't get in! :frightened:

It's also worth noting you can place pressure plates on fence-posts without using a glitch now. They make for great little end-tables.
fact im a minecraft geek lol
Joruto, Kernel, found something that might help you guys out - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...re-fog-key-12/
Oh dear lord. I-... we're doomed. ITS THE END OF EVERYTHING WE KNOW OF WHICH IS NOT GREEN! Whoever said that Endermen were the most evil thing to be introduced in 1.8 was a silly, silly person.Quote:
