I've finally gotten back into MC because of 1.8 coming soon. I've only read the last 4-5 pages of this thread, so forgive me if this has been beaten to death, but will I have to regen a new world once it hits? I know that, normally, you have to explore new chunks in order to have new stuff appear, but will this be any worse than that?

I really hope someone mods out hunger once 1.8 comes out, because if there's anything I hate it's wandering around on the surface grinding wool/leather/pork/feathers/wood for ages. Also having to come up to the surface for more wood already sucks. I like how peaceful is going to be the only difficulty that doesn't hurt you for not eating.

Is there a reason you don't have an underground tree farm?

This is actually the exact game I was planning to make (in Unity) up until this moment. :smith:

Funny you should say that when Minecraft itself is everything Stranded is made better, with the arguable exception of campaign mode which is still kind of covered by adventure maps.

Well, my version of this whole idea involves it being hard as balls, and being as realistic as possible. It's WAY too huge of a design for me to get it done any time soon, but there would be none of the ridiculousness of Minecraft (that I love, but I love within MC itself).

Good question. Other critters seem to, so I would assume Enders would as well.

I'd be interested in finding out how much damage enders will do to creations. Spawning structures and building poo poo all over my creations. Wonder if it will be almost a chore "cleaning up" ender nerd poles.

Maybe they'll only move 'organic' blocks, or just ones made of minerals.. who knows? I'm looking forward to doing an almost Attenborough-esque study on them.

Does anyone have seeds that spawn on (or relatively close to) moderately-sized islands? Currently I've got -8392941136686656334 (at x=-620, z=0), which gives me this:


It's covered with pine forest (so it'll probably be snowy in the full update) and has both hilly and flat land, and the only visible land is the northern desert which is just visible on Far, standing at the closest point of the island. I'm looking for mountainous/cliffy islands as well, or ones with a mix of forest and open land.

I totally want to spawn this once the official patch comes out (if the seed still works). Definitely want a water-world.

That, or sheer desert.

Ok, so, what's the deal with these huge mushrooms? I haven't played the leak, not going to until the official 1.8 comes out, but as I understand, these randomly spawn places, you can't collect any of it, you can only deal with what's there. Correct?

I hope we end up with something like that ogre that constantly charges you and destroys blocks (from Mo' Creatures, I believe). Also, more than one stronghold per world. I don't care if there's a flag in there that tells the code not to generate another stronghold for 200 chunks, it'd still be awesome.

Yeah, it's prevalent just underwater in swamps and lakes and oceans, fairly plentiful but not as easy to spot right away.

That actually makes sense, really.

EDIT: I think the only thing that's currently on my 'Minecraft wish list' would be for rain to have a consequence, like you getting sick if you spend too much time out there, or certain blocks getting soggy or useless if left out. Is there a mod that does this?

Also, it'd be nice if snow moved to different regions.

Jeb just posted the updated pre-release. No 1.8 today then.

If he's fixed a lot of the bugs in the pre-release, and people were already having a blast with that anyway, I'm actually REALLY ok with the official 1.8 taking longer. Very glad for this pre-release leak stuff. I said I wasn't going to play it, but that was really because of all the stuff I was hearing about the furnace crashes and the xp orb drops. Since those are fixed, I'm definitely diving in now.

So... I was tired of hearing the Enderman as zombies, so I made a thing. Let me know if these are worth a drat. I'm not even 100% sure of the proper application for them, but I have two one-hit sounds, like the zombies moan, and two loopable sounds (though when I converted them to MP3, there was a bit of a cut at the beginning and end).

Listen, let me know what you think.

The loops:

These are awesome and creepy, and I love the combination of eerie chirruping and almost mournful groaning that sounds almost like whalesong.
That said I think they already have official sounds that just haven't been released yet, but if there were an audiomod release before then, these would make good in the meantime.

I wish it were a little more... continental.
That big shape in the middle should be partitioned off into a number of large islands, maybe even just three, but the one problem I've always had with Infdev on is that sometimes the entire world is like one contiguous, shapeless landmass.

Yeah, I figure there's absolutely zero chance for my sounds to make them in or anything, I just thought I'd mess around, make some things, in the off-chance that Notch or Jeb already doesn't have anything and they're looking. I'd tweet them to them both, but alas, I'm at work without twitter.

Would that seem pompous? I'd be super happy even if they just listened to them, that'd be enough for me.

The actions you take determine how fast you eat through hunger. Basic mining/digging isn't so bad, long treks can be tiring, swimming seems to take it out of you and as people said sprinting eats it like nobody's business.
That said, it also seems that the hunger bar treats 10 bars differently than 9.5 bars. That is, once you go down to 9.5, you go down to 9, then 8.5, then 8, etc. fairly quickly. But from 10 to 9.5 seems to take a disproportionately large amount of activity, so I have the suspicion that it can actually go higher than 100%, but will only ever display as 10/10 on the bar. It really seems that if you're at 9 out of 10 'drumsticks' (or whatever) on the hunger bar, eating a cooked steak will keep it at 10 longer than eating an apple will.
It may just be my imagination or some confirmation bias, but that's my strong suspicion.

I thought I read somewhere where Notch addressed this (maybe it was in the Kotaku video from PAX or wherever) but he did mention that when you're full, it lasts the longest. The 'normal decay rate' for the hunger bar occurs after that.

EDIT:

The lighting engine's still pretty hosed up in the release. All the paintings and chests in my headquarters are pitch black, and light doesn't seem to penetrate glass to light up blocks directly behind it.

I had this happen, too. It seems as if it only sometimes lights my paintings, if the light level is max or something. I don't know.

I'm really enjoying 1.8, but I'm a little curious if anyone knows:

Now that shift+click on an item in a crafting window puts as many craftables in your inventory as possible (which is awesome), is there any new key combination for just quickly getting ONE/a couple of the set of the craftable items into your inv?

I've gotten lazy and used to just plopping a stack of coal and a stack of sticks to make torches and just clicking til I have what I want. I tried ctrl+shift+click, but it does the same as shift+click.

I'm sure I'll adapt, at some point, to just putting the right amount of materials in the window that I want to be used, but drat the old functionality was convenient for just guesstimating.

Well, the quickest way for this is to dump whatever stacks of whatever in the crafting window, but on ONE square, only have a limited amount of blocks. Like, for stairs, do this...

CB 64| X | X
-----|-----|-----
CB 64|CB 64| x
-----|-----|-----
CB 64|CB 64| CB 10

Shift-crafting this would only make 10. Works great for me, because I had the same thoughts as you.

EDIT: I should clarify, this is different than taking the time to put a specific number in the crafting window because you're only really concerning yourself with limiting one square, rather than all of them. Handy when you're building something that fills the crafting window, like rail or TNT. All the sand and gunpowder in the world won't matter if you've got one square of, say, 3 items.

I also ran in to some weird areas where I couldn't destroy anything - just an entire corridor that refused to die.

Is it possible that this was in the same chunk or area as the spawn (only obviously much lower)? Usually, spawn areas are protected so that only the OP/Admins can make any changes such as destroying or setting blocks down.
