Jens and Notch have just announced that the 1.8 pre-release .jar is available for public testing. It is important to remember that this is NOT The final release of 1.8, and is still extremely buggy. If you find any bugs, or need support, please join the #minecraft channel on irc.esper.net using your favorite IRC client!

NOTICE: This version will only work if you've paid for Minecraft, all the more reason to step up!


Here's the download links:

Client: http://assets.minecr...e/minecraft.jar
Server: http://assets.minecr...raft_server.jar

For directions on installing, MCF user GmZ has written a very brief tutorial for Windows located here.

If you'd like to discuss the leak on the forums, please do so in this thread: http://www.minecraft...-18-pre-release

It's playable even if you don't put in legit info. Might want to get the facts straight in a front page item. It may also help to put up a guide along with this, as most people won't understand how to do this.

1) download.
2) open %appdata% and browse to .minecraft
3) open the bin folder
4) backup the minecraft.jar
5) place the new minecraft.jar you just downloaded
6) ??????
7) Get the piss annoyed out of you because of all the bugs.

Hmm I'm probably going to wait until they fully release it, but that's pretty nice that they have a pre-release.
