Are you saying there are versions that aren't keepers?
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: annoyingcalc on September 10, 2011, 01:57:11 pm
No, but I mean there are bugs in 1.8 but I like it like once it crashed to desktop with no error message
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Builderboy on September 10, 2011, 02:06:03 pm
I dislike that Notch removed the ability to toggle the fog distance with a simple keypress :(
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: annoyingcalc on September 10, 2011, 02:06:42 pm
I agree that is the only thing I dont like
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!

Have any of you seen the new lighting engine? Brilliant.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!

No I havent Ill have to see

EDIT 600th post

Post by: shrear on September 10, 2011, 03:43:18 pm
I think the best change is the new map generator, the landscape seems much more natural,
with the exception of some glitched chunks, straight cliffs, lots of flying rock... etc. But I guess for a pre-relase it's only normal.

And I do every bet that there is a memory leak.

Yes, the endermen are in the leak, but they are still buggy and ender pearls don't currently do anything

endermen is the new mob that looks at you if you point the curser at it, and pursues and kills you if you take a curser off of it.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Binder News on September 10, 2011, 07:11:00 pm
They are REALLY CREEPY. I saw one, but I was in creative mode so it didn't kill me. But it was really awesome. Can't wait for Monday! (the actual release date).
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Yeong on September 10, 2011, 08:15:33 pm
at least, creeper is cute
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!

wear a pumpkin on your head for protection from endermen.

I find it astounding how many people here love this update, but no matter what notch does, everybody on the Minecraft forums do nothing but complain x.x

I couldn't agree more. I don't play Minecraft, but the "Adventure Mode/Creative Mode" seems brilliant to me.

The creative mode is awesome. Great for building circuits :w00t:
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!

so creative mode came out for v1.8?
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: JosJuice on September 11, 2011, 01:51:33 pm

Yep. You can choose between Adventure and Creative when creating a new world (or by editing the world file, if you know how to do it).
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Yeong on September 11, 2011, 01:53:41 pm
so, adventure fully support town, big dungeon, and everything?
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Munchor on September 11, 2011, 03:06:41 pm

Yes, monsters, caves, rivers, villages with NPC's, achievements, etc.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: mrmprog on September 11, 2011, 03:51:02 pm
Has anyone else found an abandoned mineshaft yet? I found a huge system, complete with abandoned chests. I really like the new rivers and ravines. I spawned near the ocean, so I swam to an island and made it my home. Nothing can get at me now!
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: shrear on September 11, 2011, 04:54:47 pm

In my experience they are easier to find than villages lol.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: mrmprog on September 11, 2011, 04:59:46 pm
My method of finding mineshafts is as follows:
Find ravine.
Fall.
Get mad.
Change to peaceful while exploring deep cave. :)
Look for random planks.
Follow.
Find chest.
*profit*
Fall in lava and lose it all.

On the first day I found a village and "borrowed" some wheat...
Really. I replanted it later.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: phenomist on September 11, 2011, 05:17:28 pm
I literally found an enderman in a cave ~20 blocks away from my spawn. Oops.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 11, 2011, 05:19:23 pm
I haven't actually found any oceans at all yet! Lots of super deep lakes tho! And ravines.

Has anyone tried creative mode? It's AWESOME! just double tap space to see one of the reasons why.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!

wats an enderman?
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 11, 2011, 05:20:38 pm
Monsters who can move blocks! And they kill you fast.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: mrmprog on September 11, 2011, 05:20:41 pm
Problem with creative: Redstone stuff that uses buttons doesn't work. The buttons just break.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Mohammad on September 11, 2011, 05:21:52 pm
Holy moly!!! move blocks :O :O :O it is truly terrifying it can move my house' walls...although i do live in the sky <.<
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: mrmprog on September 11, 2011, 05:23:00 pm
I read somewhere that they might eventually place the blocks in complex mathematical formulas.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 11, 2011, 05:25:40 pm
you can right-click the buttons and they work.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Keoni29 on September 11, 2011, 05:54:02 pm
Lol, you need 8 pieces of cobble to grief a server. Build a furnace :)
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 11, 2011, 05:59:00 pm
That's why it's still called "pre-release" :P Reminds me of the piston dupe glitch.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Yeong on September 11, 2011, 06:02:27 pm
hmm for some reason when I go to mincraft.net, its still 1.7.3

It's pre-release, so it's not released yet.

And I finally tried it. Finally. Fun.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Yeong on September 11, 2011, 06:51:24 pm
Then where can I get it?

Post by: Juju on September 11, 2011, 07:04:00 pm
Also you can check first post to get it. Just put the downloaded file in %AppData%\Roaming\.minecraft\bin (for Windows) or ~/.minecraft/bin (for Linux) and launch the launcher.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 11, 2011, 07:40:28 pm
Also, notch gave out a link from minecraft.net, it was something under media.minecraft.net.

It also had the server jar.

Post by: Camdenmil on September 11, 2011, 10:02:24 pm
My only complaints are that the fog key got removed and you can't hold right click to continuously place blocks. Endermen are creepier than creepers.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 11, 2011, 10:33:36 pm
Indeed on both counts.

There's an easier way... Kill a bunch of mobs, then die.

I can't find any silverfish, but the cave spiders are pretty bad.

I can't find any ppl at the town
is that supposed to be like that?

Post by: shrear on September 12, 2011, 12:14:29 pm
Npc in villages are only for 1.9 I believe to have read.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 14, 2011, 12:19:48 am
Yep, no NPCs yet :(

BTW it appears there's a new version of the 1.8 jar, with some bugfixes.
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: Yeong on September 14, 2011, 09:04:06 am
dammit, no npcs until later? D:
Title: Re: Minecraft 1.8 pre release!!
Post by: willrandship on September 15, 2011, 11:22:19 pm
Nope, notch said this is only the first half of the adventure update.

Funnything: at home, It runs slow (normal :P) but never crashes. At school, it runs awesome (normal, Xeon 8-cores rock) but runs out of mem every 5 minutes.... no slowdown, just suddenly savequits.

BTW, It's officially out now, so no install worries.
