MineCraft 1.8 Adventure Update

So, today (Or, Yesterday) Notch released a prerelease of the esteemed "Adventure Update".
I've gotten it, and it seems amazing, but needs a bit of tweaking here and there.
Giant Mushrooms, NPC Villages, the new blocks like Iron Bars and such are all pretty cool.

Heres a link to the download of the 1.8 Prerelease -

I haven't played Minecraft in such a long time. I can't wait for the 1.8 update, and hopefully now I'll be able to play it.

Thank you Kayate for the link.

 

I've seen a few people playing it on youtube. It looks quite interesting being that there are rivers and a new enemy called Enderman. If anyone looks upon Enderman he will stare at you until you look away. If you do look away he will run extremely fast to you. If your far away that he won't be able to catch up he'll start teleporting in your direction until he is upon you. He can even move blocks and is very tall. I think this update is one of the best there ever was.

 

Enderman can do all of THAT?!

Thanks for the tip. ;-;

 

Yeah but if you don't look at him all he'll do is move blocks. Also if you manage to kill Enderman and he drops an Ender Pearl he won't become aggressive by just looking at him. He'll still murder your family if you attack him though.

 

Oh my. It seems Notch has been playing The Sims. You can speed up time and rewind time. /holyshitepic

 

You also get XP from killing mobs and you can do critical hits and sprint hits which knock enemys away.

 

Yeah I knew that.

1.8 update is epic so far. Sucks he didn't include villages in the pre-release.

 

I heard he did. Has no one been able to find any so far? I hear they only appear on flat land.

 

I haven't found any yet. Hoping to find one soon, though. I would love to see what things you can do in them.

 

From what I hear they're empty but are made of useful materials. There's apparently a smithy in them.

 

Well thats a bit of a disappointment, but I guess useful materials make the journeys for them worth it.

 

Yeah, the villages ARE in the update, they ARE only on flatlands though.

Apparently they're incredibly hard to find. Otherwise, this is by far my favorite update, although I wish there were a mix between "Creative" and "Survival", for example not having the hunger bar. ;-;

Anyone found one of the mine shafts yet?

 

I didn't find a mine shaft, but I found some ruins ;-;

 

I saw someone did. Its just stone on the surface leading to a bunch of tunnels though but there are supplies everywhere.

 

The ruins look amazing, albeit a bit scary.

 

daaaang purty, son.

Is it true about the mountain size cap being increased?

 

I believe so. I've seen some insane mountains that normally weren't in the game before. Along with oceans that are extremely deep.

 

Yes, the mountains can now reach the ceiling, which is where the clouds are.

 

Oh, if you place a pumpkin in your helmet slot, an Enderman won't attack you, just like if you have an Ender Pearl
