1.8 is shaping up to be amazing.

Can't believe it's taken them this long though.

Don't forget only 2 people code the game and Notch is also working on other games now.

Tummy · 28 Aug 2011 at 13:43

Notch should have focused on this imho.

Mr_Moose · 28 Aug 2011 at 13:45

I dunno, I just want Moss stone stairs.. is that too much to ask??

toString · 28 Aug 2011 at 13:54

Fraid so! You can have stone and redbrick stairs instead though

Mr_Moose · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:03

suppose it'll just have to be... beggers can't be choosers....

Don't see why they removed seed generation.

RoboSprog · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:13

I thought they said they weren't changing height limit just making it easier for modders to alter it?

Very nice video!
"We'll release 1.8 within a couple of week" :O ;D

The combat looks amazing. Love the jump attack for critical hits and sprint attack to throw them backwards.

Can't wait!

Macky · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:35

Creative mode basically replaces the need for invedit.

Good for testing stuff out.

toString · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:41

Definitely! And the built-in fly mode and infinite health.

tukspawn · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:53

can i be whitelisted please spawn_uk

Mr_Moose · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:55

did anyone else notice the spider attacking the skeleton (can be seens around 7min in)... didn't know they done that??

scrlk · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:55

BF3 = BF2 with new engine and tweaks
1.8 = Radical update

toString · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:56

Yeah they do, if a skel's arrow misses you and hits another mob they will attack the skel.

Also did you guys see the size of that new desert biome? HUGE! Also loved that ravine going through that river.

Mr_Moose · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:59

yeah, that's sold it for me I'd say... can't wait for the new map!!

Is there someone who can vouch for you as you haven't been part of the OCUK community for a very long time?
