1.8 Updates: Ingame Screenshots
This morning, Notch and Jeb released some in-game screenshots, showing what appear to be fortress ruins, and a small village:
Already, we can see some potential changes in blocks and textures - for example, what appears to be stone brick, and mossy stone brick in the ruins image. What appear to be a giant red and brown mushroom can also be seen in the village screenshot, in the middle-left.
We will keep you updated as more information is released!
Not a fan of the giganto shrooms. Unless you can grow them yourself by bonemealing a mushroom or something. Would look cool in a mushroom plantation field, but not anywhere else.
And STONE BRICK TEXTURES!
FINALLY!
One of the main reasons I use painterly!
Also, any idea if Notch plans on using a mod's idea again? Some of them are really nice...
I see a huge brown mushroom like thing, and a red one too, in the first picture.
I wonder what they will drop.
But I love the fact of better combatants!
Btw the new mobs will 99% be the NPC
Uncalculated sand down in the bottom right corner
So you have nothing to worry about.
They could still spawn NEAR though
I'm hoping that if you destroy one piece of the stem, it will explode into a bunch of small mushrooms! Kind of like Terraria's giant mushrooms!
I can see the occasional mushroom growing into a giant mushroom. While it's not the best looking thing, they'll still be removable and you'll be able to use the remains for mushroom stew.
