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

Anybody else playing with the 1.8 update? Yes there's bugs, but it's worth the download!

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.

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.

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?

Yeah but I need to constantly change the fog distance to make is stop lagging for some reason. :/
So its a pain going into the options and changing them.

I have to do the same thing.

Okay I just downloaded Java 7. Its a little bit better but I would still like my toggle button back.

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.

I'm loving 1.8 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

No, but new content (villages, strongholds, mineshafts, vines, etc) will not exist in any pre-generated chunks.

Basically if you don't start a new file, you'll have to travel for miles just to see anything new.
