I've been away from Minecraft since 1.6 game out so I'm way behind on everything. Is the NPC villages thing just Millenaire added to the stock game or are they doing something different with it?

Something completely different. Not much is known about the NPC's so far.

I'm probably going to start a new server with friends a little after 1.8 launches and realizing that unless every track is two lane there's no point to a large powered rail section at the station since there has to be enough boost for the return trip on every track anyway. Though I'm trying out a 2 lane design that shares powered rail sections.

Powered rails do not give much of an extra boost with long sections. Placing one every 20 or so rails gives the best constant speed. So yes, there is no benefit to long chains of boosters.

I'm more concerned about how 1.8 will run multiplayer. I don't play singleplayer at all anymore. I'm hoping SMP will be a bit more optimized.

I'm also not hearing or seeing much about a height limit increase. Is that going to be in 1.8for sure? There's no feature I want more than to be able to build my buildings very tall. I know there's mods to get around that now, but the admin of the server I play on isn't going to install them.

Notch just made it easier for modders to adjust the height limit, there will not be a change in the default height settings.

On another note, after this world goes through its round, I might start a new one for a 1.8 seed if anyone wants to jump on that.

Can I play this with 1.8, or should I use 1.7?

Hm, point taken.

But what if I'm talking about non-trap buildings. Do I have more of a case then?

It's a pain replacing blocks in your houses every day, especially if they are things like brick when you need to go off and find some clay, or if they are in a hard to reach place.

Endermen cannot do anything to slabs and double slabs, use some of those for building.

So a couple friends and I were trying to make a sweet railroad track to transfer resources from our NPC-town homebase to a nearby station at the spire where we are building a doom fortress, but I can't seem to figure out how to get powered minecarts to work. I set up a chestcart full of building supplies, put a furnace cart behind it, apply coal, and it just bumps into the chest cart and stops, without moving it at all. I've tried it with two powered carts just to try and get some more power, but still nothing.

Is there some basic principle here that I missed or are they bugged in 1.8.1 or something? I would try using powered rails, but we haven't found that much gold.

Cart collisions only work in the north-south direction. On east/west track they just stop.

Edit: In order to travel east/west, do something like this:

New biomes: swamp (trees growing in water, much darker grass, leaves and water, lily pads, vines growing on trees, lots of clay and mushrooms), mountain (few trees, very tall), mushroom land (giant multi-block mushrooms, mycelium instead of grass, mooshroom mobs), ocean (massive, deep oceans with scattered islands), river (winding, moderately-deep bodies of water), ravine (not technically a biome, basically a canyon or crevice cut out of the ground during world creation)
New mobs: Endermen (neutral until you look directly at them, then attack if you look away, can teleport and pick up some types of block, won't attack if you're wearing a pumpkin), Mooshroom (cordyceps cows, you get red mushrooms from shearing and mushroom stew from using bowls in them), Poison Spider (small spider found in abandoned mineshafts, can poison you to drain health, can fit through 1x1 holes), Blaze (Nether-only, flying creature that shoots non-exploding fireballs), Magma Cube (Nether-only, basically a spring-like Slime), Villagers (passive, pacifistic mobs found in NPC villages), Snow Golems (manufactured allied mobs that throw snowballs), Silverfish (burst out of certain types of block, can call other silverfish out to attack, can return to block form if you run away)
New food system: eating food increases a food gauge. If it's full or nearly full you regenerate health. If it's empty you lose health (to 5 on Easy, 0.5 on Normal, death on Hard). Chickens give you Raw Chicken, Cows give you Raw Beef, these can be cooked like pork. Melon seeds can be found and used to grow melons to get melon slices. Zombies now drop Rotting Meat. Raw Chicken and Rotting Meat can poison you, which drains your food bar. There's also some hidden 'food saturation' subsystem where different foods will raise a hidden buffer food bar by different amounts, keeping you full for longer if you eat well.
New light: basically it now goes black->blue->red->white rather than black->white.
Creative Mode: you can fly, are invincible and have access to a lot of blocks and items.
New structures: abandoned mineshafts (long series of winding tunnels with plank struts, scattered minecart rails and the occasional chest with decent loot, as well as spiderwebs and poison spider spawners), strongholds (currently only spawn three times per map, big subterranean silverfish-infested complexes made of a) boring corridors and b) the occasional interesting room), nether ruins (huge complexes of bridges and rooms made from dark red bricks, occasionally have Blaze spawners), NPC villages (groups of simple buildings like houses, libraries, churches, granaries and forges along with small farms, inhabited by Villagers)
New blocks: iron rails, vines, lily pads, window panes, stone bricks, mossy stony brick, cracked stone brick, silverfish-infested stone brick, nether brick, nether fence, nether brick stairs, red and brown giant mushrooms blocks (you can grow them from mushrooms using bonemeal)
New items: blaze rods (dropped by blazes), ghast tears (dropped by ghasts), gold nuggets (dropped by zombie pigmen), netherwort (grows in the Nether on Soul Sand)
Experience: you get it from killing things and, in the v1.9 pre-release, jumping. Currently useless, kills servers because hundreds of xp orbs flood out of someone when they die.
Controls: you can't hold space to repeatedly jump, or hold leftmouse to repeatedly hit things, in the v1.9 pre-release

Finally, the hitbox for fences will be fixed, and they will attach to whole blocks, like glass panes. http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/117688347803136000

They don't. They won't until we get an official release, since the sounds aren't stored in the .jar file, and 1.9 pre2 is just a jar, no other included resource files.

Animals breed if you use wheat, but they don't seem to be following me which will make setting up a farm that much harder.
Hardcore mode is in, health looks different in it.
Also you can grind up blaze rods by crafting them alone, and ender pearls now have a use: they can teleport you at the cost of health.

Worth noting also that you should not attempt to breed snow golems, I guess.

How do you use ender pearls? I tried right-clicking and nothing happens.

Also, fences now attach to walls and have a smaller hitbox, like glass panes

Are you able to breed your animals from before PR3? My sheep and cows now just ignore me when I'm holding grain, and when I feed it to them they will get the hearts but will not try to copulate. When I tried a fresh world, they worked. So are all my old animals just borked?

It's the same reason some of my old animals became babies. All old animals have age=0 in new worlds, so the game thinks they are babies and cannot reproduce. Just wait for a bit, should be of age eventually.

Yeah, the new potion system is a terrible disappointment. The reason we lost the old system? Because there could be potions with different names/colors but the same effects that didn't stack. Big whoop.

I want my homeopathic potions back.

Okay, the way the brewing worked in the old system (put ingredient in, take a sample out, open inventory to check effects, dump back in if you didn't like it, repeat) WAS a bit tedious, but I'd rather have the tedium in finding the good potions than a really simple system like we have now.

What I would prefer is to have both the simple brewing stand method and the more complex, but more rewarding cauldron system. We have both stands and cauldrons, why not use both in different ways?

Edit:The main problem with the potions, as i see it, is that the complexity is gone, changing potion brewing from an engaging activity to glorified smelting. The old way was somewhat tedious, but it was always engaging, at least to me. What if you make potions using the brewing stand, but then you can use the cauldron to mix potions together, creating complex potions similar to the old system.

This kind of confuses me a bit. I understand emphasizing the need to make better equipment, but combat in this game is absolutely horrible to begin with. While I do appreciate the challenge, maybe they should improve combat mechanics before going ahead with this.

I am pretty much at the point where I don't engage in combat unless I absolutely have to, and even then I cheese the fights by blocking the enemies with blocks and chipping away at them from a safe spot. If I am on land, I just run. This is just going to further drive me away from fighting at all.

In short, combat blows.

How would you improve combat? For me it already is slighty better in 1.9. What would you change?

With the new food system, Taking a couple hits of damage is not the emergncy it used to be for me.
