I haven't been keeping up with Minecraft announcements recently. Does 1.8 have a release date yet, or is it still unknown?

The most solid announcement comes from Notch on google+. After August 28th (PAX prime).

I'm having the same experience. Can someone post in here some screenshots or what's happening? Anything new we haven't had him hint at?

I'd rather Mojang actually add new features or fix their old ones rather than put in options that frankly aren't necessary at all.

gently caress, I wish they would just add a bunch of items that do nothing - then we whom write mods could add their functionality.

I'd like potion bottles in different colors, glowing blocks in different colors, and something that looks like a tool please.

Nevermind, found the server. It doesn't seem to be reading the server.properties file though, unless they changed that.

Okay, I've got a SMP 1.8 server running on goonimati.com:30000 if anyone wants to fart around. I have PvP enabled and pretty much everything else but flying.

Regarding Silverfish and Strongholds - in the Yogscast they got a silverfish by destroying a block in a NPC village, so there you go.

I think it will take a few days to get tired of just flying around a map and seeing what it will generate.

A ravine that cuts across a small landscape, narrowly avoiding getting flooded? Sure.

In the yogscast they came across a ravine that butted up directly to a lake and the water wasn't precipitating until they disturbed it.

Also, for anyone looking for multiplayer i've got a world running 1.8 on goonimati.com:30000

Did they actually say 1.8 was coming out tomorrow? From what I've read they just said that they'd resume the bug fixing then. Release might not happen until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Not required; I just found the stronghold in the world I'm running right now and it's at least 20 blocks below the surface, no entrance.

Guys, don't try and shift-click an item from your inventory to a full chest. I don't know if it was reported before, but I just crashed. 1.8 official.

EDIT: Shift-clicking to add anything to ANY full container (yourself or chests) is a crash.

Did you crash the server or just your client?

Are there any workarounds for the smp exp-orb issue? ...

I run my PvP server off of bukkit, and wrote a plugin that kills exp orbs from a player when they die. Not exactly the most desirable outcome but oh well, it keeps them from spamming the server to death.

Is it just me or are you seeing chunks randomly decide to generate as skylands?

Also, there is always a stronghold at 0,0 for me. And no NPC Villages are being generated. Just unlucky?

You should play on goonimati! You can build anything you want anywhere you want and all other players will provide you instant feedback on your buildings with tnt and/or lava. Often while you're in the middle of building it!

Mining with a gold pick makes smooth stone?

Only on SMP servers running a plugin which makes it do that (like mine).

It's a nice trade-off; a gold pick axe smelts ore but wears-out quickly.

I know it's a big wish, but I just want them to revise how they load mobs; make it so they can be dynamically downloaded from the server. That way admins can create new monsters, creatures, etc.

If not that, at least let the mobs be skinnable and sizeable by the server. Like, for example, every mob having a small, medium, and large scale. Then we could make Skeleton bosses, mini creepers, etc. Just this one change alone would vastly increase the mobs in the game.

Shnakepup posted:

I dunno. Unless you at least also changed the behavior of the mod, simply up-sizing mobs to make them "boss mobs" would be kinda stupid. Like, imagine a giant skeleton, but he still acts like a regular skeleton, including hopping around and getting stuck on corners.

You can already grab distinct mobs using bukkit and change their behavior so this isn't an issue.

quote:

Or worse, a giant creeper that can cover ground twice as fast. It'd be guaranteed death and gigantic craters.

That would be awesome! As it is, giant mobs move the same speed as regular sized mobs so they appear like they're taking little hoppy steps instead of striding.

My desert area is getting lousy with cacti because the Endermen keep grabbing cactus blocks and putting them elsewhere. Kind of cool that it works like that though.

One of my deserts is getting lousy with cactus but I can blame that squarely on one of my players.

I don't know if you guys play with monitors an awful lot brighter than mine or what, but if you're posting a screenshot to show something off, it might be worthwhile to make sure it's actually bright enough to see.

Sorry, I liked the original as I had no problem seeing it as it was. I do have a very nice monitor.

Also, sorry it was so dark; I do bitch at other players for their pitch black screenshots. Evidence is in this thread for certain.
