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

[beardedwalrus]

I'm pretty sure 32x and 64x have always worked. They still need support for 128x, 256x, and 512x though.

Really? I have never gotten 32x and 64x textures to work without MC Patcher.

Thanks for this, adding to OP.

[GamerGizmo]

1.8 officially posted, you can update it now!

Also, did Notch take away mines in the official update? I haven't found any yet.

It will probally be a while befor you find one one because there rare and two because they spawn once per world.

[Novus]

OP Updated.

Also, some screenshots of a small cabin I made in a few hours, because I was bored. All legit, no hacking items in (that damn wool took forever and a few pairs of shears.)

[KM18]

Well, the XP bar is awesome.

[Novus]

Really? In the pre-release I found loads of them.

Also, does the XP bar do anything yet?

You must be thinking of something else, there are only one per world, but in 1.9 it will be extended to unlimited per world.

And no, not yet. But Notch plans on adding a currency system where you can buy things from NPCs in villages with XP points.

So mub seemed to have lied, unless I need it in my hands or in the 9 items or less inv. I was still attacked by an Enderman, thankfully this was in the daytime at the entrance of a cave, it was 2 of them, and when I had realized it, either way I move my mouse I had to look at one of them. The first one was easy to kill I saw him ran like fuck into the light I got him in one hit kill of an iron sword (with the help of the sun), not a hit on me. But the second one was a little more clever, dude teleported so fast, it was like being surrounded by them at each corner, couldn't get a hit in, I would of be dead if it wasn't for the sun.

tl;dr Mub lied, both about their pearls and the Enderman not being scary.

[Novus]

Creepers are only scary when a.) you walk out of your house and out of nowhere one falls on you and b.) you're mining some ores in a cave and hear a TSSS.

[Js2Kings]

Yeah, the Endermen are terribly NOT scary.

Now that I think about it, Creepers aren't that bad either.

Until I find a way for the pearls to work, yeah they are, Creepers aren't scary though, just when they fall from the sky (not literally), like Novus said, and when they still can get to you via blind spot.

Has anyone found a village yet? I can't seem to find any evidence of villages at all, but I'm sure they are there.

I can't either and I think NPCs haven't been added yet (I don't see it in the update log), but I could be wrong.

Also tips for Endermen:

Wearing a pumpkin on the head will prevent an Enderman from charging at a player. It is important to note that the Endermen will become aggressive if players attack them. It is safe to look at them through transparent blocks like glass, glass panes, iron bars and ice.

I've found quite a few. They do seem to be quite rare though.

Nope, they'll be added in 1.9 according to Notch.

[Spiderpig24]

So Pokemobs is one of the coolest mods I have ever seen. By the time it's done, it will be what Nintendo should have done with Pokemon on a console a long time ago. A first person adventure with towns, a battle system, PC's, evolving, levels, Team Rocket, gyms, etc.

Am I the only one who thinks that notch should add huge cave formations such as this?

Soon, also there better be a boat in there (or just randomly floating, lost). And if so I want pirate ships, or build-able floating structures.

I was once an Adv Builder on a server like that. Good times.

[Daemon]

Does anybody have a gift code I can use? I really want to play but I have no cash.

[Novus]

Spent some time making this (mainly because it took FOREVER to gather all of the wool/lapis)


Also, another interior shot of my cabin.

Here's something I've been working on.
