The Official Minecraft Thread V4 - Beta 1.8 Pre-release, OH GOD

[Novus]

Here's something I've been working on.

That looks awesome. I'm guessing items were hacked in? It would take a long long time to get that much logs.

Creative mode.

Creative mode.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about creative mode. I switched back to 1.7.3 a few days ago.

I don't really know exactly. I just missed the feeling of the old lighting, no new structures (villages, ravines, etc.), Old GUI, etc. I see it as this: if you play Minecraft to go on adventures and fight, play 1.8. But if you play Minecraft to build and create stuff, stick with 1.7.3. It's annoying trying to build a cool underground building or something and then running into an abandoned mine shaft.

Also, I'm a big fan of making mob farms, and when 1.8 came out the mob spawning code was completely rewritten. Now it's very difficult to make an efficient hostile (creepers, zombies, etc.) mob farm and it's literally impossible to make a passive mob farm (pigs, sheep, etc.).

How do you go back to 1.7.3? My pc can't handle Minecraft 1.8 for some gay shit reason

Well, before I updated with the 1.8 jar, I had a backup of my 1.7.3 jar. All I did was replace the 1.8 jar with the 1.7 one and at the login, put in some wrong password and play offline.

If you don't have a backup, then I don't know what to tell you. Try looking around the official minecraft forums I guess. :/

Try here:

I've been playing on a 1.7.3 server using that. Just run it then go to options then download the version you want, then select it from the drop down menu!

Also,
WHERE DOES IT END?

I'm starting to understand how you feel, mining isn'tt as simple anymore, everywhere I go there's a cave or shaft. Also I don't remember this in 1.7 but it seems right click and hold with a sword puts up a defense, I'm not yet sure how efficient or useful it is but just a notice.

[LaserSonic1029]

They wont let me buy minecraft for some reason, I go to their website and I entered my credit card info and shit, it won't let me buy it.

[Js2Kings]

Is the info right or is money on it? If both are true, try paypal.

Yeah I'll try that.

Yeah. And yeah, blocking was added in 1.8.

I can't stand creative mode. Sucks the fun out of building.

Oh and 1.8 feels rushed. Because of the insufferable community for this game.

I fucking love creative mode. When I was on the server I usually have God mode and use /i to get unlimited items anyway, so Creative just makes all that easier, while giving me the ability to fly.

How does creative suck the fun out of building? The whole point of creative is to build without having to worry about running out of materials, getting attacked by monsters, etc.

I think creative mode is more of a homage to classic mode, where you didn't have to worry about mining anything or watching out for monsters. It's a great addition imo.
