Is the frequent issues I have with memory causing Minecraft to close the session/ save and go "hey, the game is hosed, restart" just a general bug or is it something I'm doing wrong setting wise? I basically switched the minecraft.jar from 1.8 into the .minecraft/bin/ folder and replaced an old one

If you were using any mods, did you clear out any leftover files from them?

I only checked the last couple of pages, but does anyone have any idea what leveling up does? I haven't noticed any difference so far.

Also, eating rotten meat changes the color of your food bar but doesn't seem to change health regen at all. No downsides?

Not sure on the second, but the answer to the first is "Nothing until 1.9".

Even without every other feature added, just the world gen changes alone would've made this a major patch. Everything else is just icing on that delicious, delicious cake.

By the way, concerning the furnace bug, I've noticed that it only happens to me when I use custom textures. Otherwise, with default textures, I've not had any problem at all (other than some duplication problems but those are minor). I can't figure out why that is.

It's already been figured out and fan patched. Link

If it works for now, it's good enough for the initial release. It's not like if they use that for the first public release of 1.8, they can't still hunt for the actual source. In other news, got a nice starting penninsula with very few trees(only 3) and bordered by a desert to get you started.

I think a lot of the ocean ones are people redoing worlds until they find one. Most of my maps have been on the mainland so far.

If your texture pack doesn't have a texture for it it doesn't show up.

I think the distinction between rear end in a top hat and jerk is an important one to make. A jerk tries to be semi-clever and restrained about his douchiness. An rear end in a top hat just goes all out. Endermen are jerks, creepers are assholes.

I'm not sure if it's bugged or what, but pigs (and sheep/cows/chickens) don't seem to be respawning at all on the SMP server I play on.

Okay, I just found a single room with Mossy Stone, a mob spawner and a chest in a 1.8 generated world. Are old style "dungeons" still in? I thought Mineshafts and Strongholds were replacing them. Or did they and I just found one small part of a Stronghold?

Yeah, after posting that I've found like 3 more despite not finding a single one before today even though I got 1.8 with the first pre-release. Weird. Oh well, Mossy Stone time!

I haven't had any crashes besides the furnace one in pre1. I think it's increased mem usage finally coming to a head and needing 64-bit java on 64-bit OSes.

Are you sure Notch has switched over to JDK 7? I'd assume his jar would have to be compiled in 7 in order to gain any benefits from running it in 7.

Might as well give it a shot then. Worst that happens is I reinstall 6.

Anyone know of a good texture pack for the pre-release?

I've always been a fan of JohnSmith. No 1.9 release yet, but it looks good enough, and he did put out a 1.8pre pack a couple days after the 1.8pre came out.

"Advanced OpenGL" is occlusion culling, which actually reduces the amount of work your graphics card has to do.

Assuming Minecraft does it right, who knows?

It causes issues for some people where it will actually stop rendering things that should be rendered instead of just things that are out of sight.

I've got an HD4850, a 2.6 Athlon II X4 and 4 GB of RAM. With 1.9 Pre, 64-bit Java 7 and a force the use of 4 GB of RAM shortcut I get a constant 70 FPS fullscreened at 1920x1080 with a 32x texture pack, Fancy graphics, Far rendering, Smooth Lighting on and Advanced OpenGL off. No lag spikes either. Maybe I'm just a lucky SoB.

This apparently can't run the 1.9 preview server and the guy who owns the machine doesn't want to install Oracle's java. Has anyone managed to get the server to run with any version of openjdk or am I hosed?

Notch specifically says it has to be Oracle's IIRC, sorry.
