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

does it work with my mods?!?!?!?!?

Not at the moment, and I don't think they will update there mods because it's just a "pre-release" version it's for testing and reporting bugs only.

I'm also wait for the final version of 1.8, they are enough people testing the "pre-release" version and reporting bugs.

Caution: make a backup of your previous world if you dont want to start a new world

Yea I v-synced mine at 100fps as well. Can't adjust Fancy graphics or turn on advance open gl or it freezes no biggie. Loving the new lighting, the torches light gives off a flickering light thats very subtle but the effect is very nice.

Whoever has no clue how to play this, follow these directions;

1. Hit the Windows button on your keyboard + R at the same time
2. Type %appdata%
3. Locate your .minecraft folder
4. Go to your bin folder located in the .minecraft folder
5. Download the new Minecraft.jar and drag it into the bin folder
6. Remove and Replace with the old one.


Note: If your old 1.7.3 jar still has mods on it that you don't want to re-add, make a backup.
