This update was pathetic. 7 months for next to nothing. I know somebody will reply with a list of everything they added. I don't care. It's all fluff. Still pathetic.
Yeah, the lag i understand the anger, but seriously, the people who are being unappreciative need to be deprived up updates FOREVER, lol, and everyone else should still get them... xD
You clearly don't watch youtube videos very much, most people(including myself), have used armor stands as a way of creating sculptures, and flying objects, and moving players, and much much more, just because you don't see a need for something does not make it useless... other people have really enjoyed this update, and you should let them enjoy it, people find pleasure in different things, so what if you didn't like it? You can't please everyone. If you don't like it then fine, but there is no reason for you to make others feel like they are dumb because they enjoyed it, and you didn't, everyone has opinions!
Are the people's opinions who say the update was good wrong? NO, because it their opinion...
I doubt i need to link the changelog here, but ill type out the short version; 4 new mobs, 2 new world types, 50+ new blocks, a new potions variant, armor stands, banners, countless commands and general mapmaker features, new rendering system, and much, much more... <---- To me, all that, is worth waiting 9 months, plus, we get weekly snapshots, no other game does that, we are very privileged with what we have, and we should all be thankful for what we get, weather or not we like it, the mojangsters do this for us(and a job to live off of...), they could have just left it, and not given us more updates, and I'm surprised that after all the hate they have gotten over 1.8, that they are still planning on doing 1.9, but being the good, giving people that they are, jeb has announced that they will resume snapshots in January.
Armour stands have limited usability in survival though. But I already found them to be pretty fun in my SSP world, made a little obsidian-walled garden with 4 huts that each houses full iron armour, made with the 4 types of protection (Prot, Projectile, Fire and Blast) and in the centre of the garden is a hut with full Prot 4 diamond armour. Putting the armour on the stands looks so much better than having chests that contain the armour pieces...
Ok, ok, I admit, I'm not a huge fan of command blocks, and this was essentially a command block update. I only use them to keep it daytime in my creative world, I like playing the game linearly in survival. I do like that they did something with the oceans and armor stands are very cool for backup sets of armor then you have the great looking doors. They didn't add '50+ new blocks', they essentially added like 6 or so, the slime block, the minerals and prismarine. They're good additions, but please stop looking at raw numbers, it's getting irritating.
For some of us, we simply don't feel much is added to the game if it isn't added to survival. Then again, I don't see how much farther they can improve survival. Maybe survival is cut off at this point and we're upset about it?
I think Mojang was working on other games most of the time.But anyways armour stands are awesome!Which makes 1.8 awesome!Which makes minecraft awesome!

I have been playing minecraft since 1.2.5 and there has been a couple of decent updates such as the 1.7 updates with more biomes and the horses were pretty cool too but 1.8 was definitely a disappointment for me. Minecraft is a pretty good game but I think tons of more things should be added to make the game more intresting and fun. I think there should be more bosses a few new dimensions mabey the aether should be added or something and a actual boss because I think the enderdragon is way to easy a powerful boss that could shoot fire at you or something I don't know and more ores would be nice as well like the ruby ore that was never added.
The main reason 1.8 is annoying is because on 1.7 I could load texture packs but on 1.8 the game just crashes whenever I load a texture pack and shows a error report and I have to delete the texture pack to get minecraft to work again.1.8 is also EXREMELY LAGGY!!! I play on a pretty slow laptop and usually play at at least 10 to 20 fps but sometimes Minecraft is hardly playable and I get 1-5fps which is dreadful and I don't know why I lag so much
Anyway long story short mojang should stop added bunny rabbits and stupid things and actually add more ores,bosses,dimentions,mobs,tools and things to make minecraft more fun again.
So true, and they should seriously add some mods in with proper credit. The Rabbits are eyesores indeed, but at least they didn't steal DrZhark's Rabbits, despite them looking so much better than the ones we currently have. And I'm with you, Minecraft 1.8 is basicly unplayable as it becomes a slideshow of Minecraft with a constant 1-10 FPS or so, and 1.8.1 only made it worse with 1-5 FPS..

1.8 honestly didn't give that much, considering that it took a whole year. The most worthy thing I found out of the updates was the new ocean guardians, which were actually pretty neat. But a lot of the stuff like the armor stands or the commands, I really don't find much interest in; plus it isn't that great since it took a whole damn year.
How in the world are armor stands useful? Why the heck would you want to show off your armor? It doesn't make much sense to be, TBH. Seems like nothing but a pointless scarecrow or a closet. I know that in ancient times there were armor stands, but it just doesn't make sense in Minecraft.
Also I don't get these crap load of summon commands; don't see how they are useful either.
Other stuff they added:
- Granite, Andesite and Diorite stone blocks with smooth versions
- Slime Block
- Iron Trapdoor
- Prismarine and Sea Lantern blocks
- Ocean Monument
- Red Sandstone
- Banners
- Coarse Dirt
- Guardian mobs with item drops
- Endermite mob
- Rabbit with item drops
- Mutton and Cooked Mutton
- Spectator Game Mode
- New achievement
- Customized world type
- Hidden "Debug Mode" world type
- New commands
- New player model
- New options for configuration
^ Now this seems like a lot of stuff, but considering that it took a whole year.....I'm just really not impressed. Also, many of the features that Mojang implemented were taken from mods, such as armor stands. In fact, Mojang was actually going to get Optifine into the game but the creator of Optifine didn't allow it.
I really expected more, such as an overhaul to the terrain generator. I know that in the previous update there were many new biomes added, but I and many others for a few years wanted more variation and hilly terrain. And no, amplified just creates a mess that doesn't even make variance/sense. Or just something that would actually change Minecraft.
Allow me to clear things up for you and why it took them a year.
They completely redid how blocks load. literally redid most of everything how they are placed and so-on. If you take a look at 1.7 and how the world loads. It loads pretty slowly. yea it seems fast because its what we (early minecraft players) are used to. Take a look at 1.8, Things load super fast! especially if you add more ram to load the game. it seems to load so quickly I can now fly really fast and have the world keep generating at a super fast rate.
So not only that there were a lot of bugs they had to fix after all this happened. a crap ton of bugs and even in 1.8.1 some still linger. that is why 1.8.2 is coming around the bend. to fix those few pesky bugs. hopefully all of them are found.
Armor stands by the way are very useful in minecraft. How are they useful? you can animate them. Its mainly for map creators.
Actually the 1.8 update was pretty much mainly for creating maps. But they went and threw in a few things to make survival awesome as well. I am going to go on a whim and say your a survival player of minecraft. Because the new creative mode is epic.
Well I hope I have cleared this up for ya.
SUPER SHORT VERSION OF POST
They redid code of game to make it load better.
Armor stands are useful for creators.
Most of the 1.8 update are for map makers.
Thanks for reading!

We get it, but the new rendering system did more bad than good since it causes major lag and causes X-Ray resource packs to fail, and the armor stands completely knockoffed Bibliocraft, only given a more ugly appearance and more redstone command compatible, and they just didn't care about the rest of us at all.

Indeed which is why they need to work on it some more. I believe the USE VBO's option should be defaulted to ON.
and your sort of right about armor stands. Glad you can change every texture in the game for that. ha ha.
Even though it came from bibliocraft. I am glad its part of the game now. I can make a shop keeper in minecraft with an armor stand.
and obviously much more. You can use armor stands to put more detail on other blocks. You can even make small blocks with small invisible armor stands wearing (Wool for example) any block.
Much more to it then that. and the new system allows you to create chairs CHAIRS actually able to sit on.
Maybe i can make a little example of whats good about all the 1.8 hype.

I use that, barely increases FPS. And yes, I know that, but it barely makes any sense. Why use an armor stand for something that you can make pretty much anything?!

That means there are only 35 new blocks, not including banners.. Wow. This update stinks. Even moreso than Earthbound.

And 33 of those 35 are re-skins and the only purpose for 29 of them is decoration.
