Cream-of-Plenty posted:Boats would also become infinitely more useful if bodies of water weren't generated as a bunch of ponds separated by thin strips of land. Having long, winding rivers would be awesome. Well if Notch's recent picture is anything to go by, oceans appear to be really big now. So boats and ports might actually have a use now.

Oh hey in that stream he did when he finds the abandoned mineshaft there are cobwebs hanging off the ceiling and stuff. Wonder if that means spiders can make cobwebs too

Yeah, we'll be able to grow both pumpkins and watermelons in the same way, some kind of vine growing thing from what has been said. Kinda said there isn't any NPCs just yet in the villages, it looks like!

This impending 1.8 update has brought out some really weird unrealistic expectations in people. I've had people complain that this update isn't adding airplanes, isn't adding magic, and now that it's not adding customizable weapons. Notch never promised ANY of these things, the closet being when he said if he ever did add magic it would be like alchemy if anything. Yet people are acting like Notch stabbed them in the leg while breaking a life vow or something. Notch is finally adding a ton of poo poo but people are angry that he isn't adding their little pet ideas he's never even talked about?

Talking about the NPCs, I noticed there was a lava based blacksmith area and I recall Jeb mentioning that his Blacksmith kept burning down his village with lava, so I think they have been working on NPCs if they aren't present in the demo right now

I'm pretty sure NPC quests aren't gonna be like WoW style or anything. I imagine it's gonna be finding a little village and getting certain items that allow the village to grow, since Notch and Jeb commented about making sure that when villages expanded it didn't mess with player built things. So I think it will be like "Fetch a bucket of lava for the Blacksmith" and "Find all three seeds for the farmer", which in turn will allow the village to grow and get more NPCs

And even then we just know what it's texture is. We don't even have a model for the silverfish yet, all we have is what people expect it to look like and what people expect it to do based on it's name alone

I'd prefer that you could add abilities to certain tools than things higher than diamond. Diamond can already be a pain in the rear end to get I don't wanna hunt for things even harder than that. Perhaps skill points will be used to buff or powerup attributes about certain tools you have

I think that new tile set next to the stone breaking animation is for explosions. If you watch the newer videos of 1.8 demos, when a creeper explodes it shoots off rounded particles now as well for the new explosion effect

Actually I think those particles are from running and look to be just the particles from when you are hitting a block. if you look near the start of the video, when he runs and turns around there are a few dirt block particles left behind him, and on the stone blocks are stone particles. It'll help show other players when another is running instead of guessing if they are or not

So I was out and about sailing when I came on a large pine tree biome. However there happened to be lava pool right in the center of a few trees and I've spent the last five minutes watch a wild fire completely destroy the entire biome of it's trees. It's pretty cool and I've never seen this happen in the old code

FirePhoenix posted:I'd rather they hold back 1.8 than release it full of bugs. Glad they're having the sense to do it that way. Me too but I'm sure the fact that they don't wanna release a bunch of bugs won't matter and they'll be up to their necks in angry "NOTCH IS loving US AGAIN " tweets and threads. But really that's no different than every other day with their community

So I'm trying to set up a new world on my personal server and I want to make a little spawn area. Is there anyway to switch a map from creative to survival once I start it? So that way I can build what I want than switch to survival once it's built?

I think the reasons the villages are so rare now is that they'll only spawn on flat even land, so you wont have like villages submerged in water or haphazardly growing out of a hill or split half way by a ravine anymore

So I have a little problem that's a bit strange with my server. The spawn point on my server has randomly changed places It now spawns us, when we die with no bed, in the middle of a desert by a NPC village instead of a pinewood forest by the town we started to build. Anyone know what caused it and if I can fix it?

Does anyone else have trouble with rain coming through blocks on certain patches of land? On my server there's a little blotch of land that has rain going through any type of roof EDIT: Weirdly I fixed it by placing a block inside of the home. The new block caused the rain to stop falling in the house oddly enough

So do Endermen have some kind of sense when you're about to attack them to teleport away? I swear I had an Enderman who would only get close to me when he was behind me and only the sun rising saved my rear end

The best moment of YogCast, for me, has to be when they're testing the new blocks in 1.8 and discover the Silverfish block. The screams they make when it pops out are the best
