If I remember right, Jeb or Notch said it will be returning in 1.9. 1.9 should also be released during Minecon, which is scheduled for November 18-19.

Does that mean 1.9 is the official release version? Not that it makes much difference really but that was about the date floated for the end of the beta phase.

Neat new stuff but where the gently caress is our mod support? I want an API so we can use the whole MODS and Textures button in the game instead of all this forked esoteric crap you have to wade through for the more complicated mods.

Not sure what the hell they did, but the pre-releases were fine but 1.8 runs like poo poo and crashes constantly. Yes, I've re-installed, and yes, I have a very good gaming pc.

Any ideas or is it hosed up for everyone?

My friend who's really into minecraft really wants to get me back into it with this big update. So I did so and I crash after about 5 minutes with an "out of memory" error. So you're not alone.

I know the release date is just a formality at this point, but having it officially come out with previously working features missing is a bit odd.

Found this just a short bit after spawning. There weren't any storms or anything else I could tell going on either just... woods on fire. I think there was a pig on fire, too. No clue why everything would be on fire all of the sudden.

There's probably a lava pond nearby.

Also you should turn off your forced anti-aliasing, minecraft doesn't like it and you get artifacts like those.

I can't see any artefacts on that image, also aliasing is terrible and no game made after 2000 should not have anti-aliasing.

:h:Knight of the
Rainbow Table.:h:
I found my first ravine last night. It was right by the shoreline of my island, and it seemed to go on forever underground. Eventually it intersected with an abandoned mine that sprawled on even further. I fell down a pit, I got poisoned repeatedly, skeletons shot the gently caress out of me. I got hopelessly lost and ran out of, among other things, food and wood. I eventually decided to just tunnel up, lava danger be damned. Eventually I exhausted my picks and wound up digging the last stretch of my desperate journey to the surface by hand rather than blunt my axe on the rock.

Popped up in the middle of the ocean, in broad daylight, next to a floating pig. I brained it with my axe, feasted on its flesh, and swam to shore.

I love this game! :black101:

Am I the only one having issues with friendly mobs not spawning? Whenever I enter a new area, they're everywhere. But then once I kill them to harvest their tasty tasty meat, they never come back. I cleared a forest near my base and killed off all the sheep, pigs and cows around, but it's now been many many in game days and I haven't seen a single animal. Bad mobs spawn at night like crazy, but the animals are just gone.

There are slight borders around sprites - look closely just at the top of fire. It's not so bad in this picture but my card forced anti-aliasing and it made torches horrible and added a pink grid to my water.

So is the release broken? Some seem to have an issue with how much processing power it uses and some seem to be running it fine. I don't want this to be like 1.7 where I lose a bunch of iron and coal because of bugs and bad code.

Guys I think I am being incredibly dense here, but I cleared out all the minecraft files on my server, dropped the 1.8 server jar there and loaded up, set some whitelisted players.. and no-one can break blocks.

Is there some default option I have to set to let people build? There's nothing in server.properties about it.

e - oh drat I think we were trying to build in the spawn area, gonna check that real quick ...

Try setting online mode to false in server.properties, it happens sometimes when the authentication server is being screwy.

Nah it was me being away from vanilla minecraft for ages - protected spawn area! I can't recall if vanilla server had an option to reduce the size of the spawn protected area, think I'll leave it so people don't make it an instant death trap

I saw a tree on a little island just to the south (render distance far). That's enough to build a boat - you call that hard?

(but it is a vast ocean I'll grant you that)

I wish they'd add a diving helmet you can craft with glass and iron or something. Ocean biomes are kind of wasted when you can't really do anything with them.

E: I just spotted what looks like an underwater ravine in suavebaby too.

"Just a few more ligaments and this baby can shoot 90!"
So if I update my server to 1.8, is there any special workaround that still needs to be done to get villages et al to spawn in the new chunks?

Also I'm running a super-chill survival server and wouldn't mind a couple goons coming to essentially play co-operative single player on a big, mostly empty map. I can't support enough people to warrant a PGS thread but I figured I'd put the word out for any goons that are looking for a very small (usually 1-2 people online at a time) server with a strict 'no being dicks' policy. If you wanna build some cool looking poo poo, and know no ones gonna do anything besides admire it, let me know. Fairly minimal in terms of mods, just some quality of life stuff.

Some of the construction projects and Mt. Blargen from the server's first month. A few more are in my imgur folder.
