Every major update has had its own title, such as the "Horse Update" or "The Update That Changed the World" which was reflective of its trademark feature (such as horses and new biomes). So far, has anyone heard of any such title for the 1.8 update? Maybe it's just me, but I really don't see what the "defining feature" of this update really is. Instead of one astoundingly cool feature, we have a collection of adequately cool things that don't seem to have any common connection. Not to say that 1.8 is a bad update by any means, I just wouldn't know what to call it. Has anyone heard anything of an official name, or have any ideas for an appropriate unofficial title for 1.8?
New stone variants, sponges, water content, beacon lights, mob behaviors, villager AI and trading, fence wood variations, craft forms for stone brick variants and mossy stone variants, mushroom block standardization, iron trap doors, armour stands, flags, red sandstone variants, mutton, skins with independent right and left arms, world borders, cracking animation for many blocks, inverted daylight sensors, and mob head drops.
If they added wood door variants, workbench variants, colored beds and a quiver item, you could put a bow on it.
the building update, for new villager ai, more potential for adventure maps, and new building materials. or, like Durand1w said, the make-up update (because there were so many bugs fixed)

There have been quite a few cosmetic blocks added, like the new stone, the water dungeon blocks (apart from sponge), banners, and such. That, along with the new mobs, could make for a good "Pretty Scary Update II".
Being a nerd is nothing to be ashamed of. Nerds rule the world! Who invented the internet? Nerds. Who created personal computers and smart phones? Nerds. Who made every video game you've ever played and ever will? Still nerds. Who sent probes to distant planets? Nerds, nerds and more nerds! I'm a nerd and I'm proud.
The 1.8 update? The Big Update? The update of epicness? The update for fans?

The Adventure Update II. It's got a ton of things for makers of adventure maps, both in terms of a lot of new blocks for them to make cool-looking stuff out of (new doors/fences, new stone/prismarine variants, banners etc.) and new stuff to make them come alive (new villager AI/trading, command blocks, armor stands and the many fun things you can do with them). But the server I play on probably won't reset maps for this update, as aside from the new stone types (all of which are craftable from cobble and quartz) and the new seafloor temples (which we can probably find easy enough by boating through new chunks of sea), the terrain algorithm isn't changed noticeably yet. So not all that much for us "we play for the survival aspect" players.

I agree with these names. To add to that, the completely random junk update (sure, some of it is great, but almost none of it is related).
