can anyone link to a list of features in the update or give me some bullet points of suspected updates or if it's happening on friday? I don't know anything and I just clicked backwards through this thread before getting to the front and not finding anyone saying anything about what the update everyone is looking forward to actually has in it.

Some kind of gorgon? I don't know?

Here's a link someone posted a couple pages back with a rundown on the new stuff.

none of these things sound very good why is anyone looking forward to this? I guess I'll wait and see, I mean, I assume there'll still be a more casual multiplayer experience or maybe the server can turn off reverse-mario-boos and poison.

with all the talk about 1.8 I thought it was going to be today :(
no word on when it is? Is it even an imminent thing or has it been imminent for weeks now?

Ah, hence why the screenshot was taken at sunset!

doesn't the sun rise in the north and set in the south? or why do all maps orient towards the east?

Orient!
East!
That's a joke, son

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.

SA shits itself today when I try to send personal messages, but how did you do this? was the server leaked too? the server file I ran still tried to run 1.7x even though I put the minecraft.jar into .minecraft/bin/

The server was leaked.

I'm wondering more how people are connecting to SMP servers; I thought you could only connect offline to this version, which would prevent you to playing on SMP, no?

leaked but in a way where I'm not going to find it here? Not leaked on purpose?

my last question probably is how do you generate a world and then let the world be used on a multiplayer server? because I made one in solo, copied the level dats over the one the server created, and it made a new one on top of the new new one instead of just loading it.

You can put in anyone's username into https://www.minershoes.com and see the skin. I dunno if it has running animations or not though.

how? I search for poemdexter and it says end of world. I click on someone else's skin and it's alphanumerical gibberish so I can't just substitute his name or my friends' names to see.

was there an update to the client or both the client and the server?

how do you start the server with more ram?
I tried making a batch file to run "java -Xmx1024.M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar" but it did not work and flashed up and away so quickly I don't know which half failed, I assume that java isn't in a listed folder. Am I going about this all wrong?

I used the wiki to find the program to tell me where the slimes are. I dug out that area, 6 tiles from bottom, and killed three slimes while digging it out. I haven't seen any more slimes, ever. I run up and down this huge hallway with candles everywhere and no slimes. this slime farm is the worst. do I stand in the corner and wait for the wet slapping sound? should I constantly go away and come back?

is there a way to find ravines or mineshafts with the map renderer? When I see several sinewaves of stone are those the layers of a ravine? When I see brown with white x's are those mines with spider silk?
