Notch recently revealed more information regarding the 1.8 Adventure Update. The following things have been confirmed for the update's release:

NPC Villages
Randomly generated dungeons
New biome code
Fully functioning Creative mode (with Creative-type access to server mods/admins)
Critical hits
Sprinting
More farming options
Brightness slider

He also mentioned that mod support was definitely being worked on, but that information on the update as a whole would be kept under a tight lid, to avoid revealing too many surprises.

We will continue to update the community as information becomes available.

I am a premium subscriber to minecraft and I think Notch should make the new update run minecraft without java because i am one of the many people that do not have a lot of ram and making minecraft not run on java will make the game run faster which will cause more people to buy the game and will make minecraft a lot more enjoyable to the people that have slow computers.

Quote from rpg877

really? i didn't know java didn't support dynamic lighting... thats kind of a disspointment i was planning on learning java because i want to be a game developer... anyone know any good computer languages that can be used to make 3d games with dynamic lighting?

It does... I guess Mojang just hasn't figured out how to do it, yet. Because there is a video of the dynamic lighting mod (someone posted it on the last page) where you can carry a lit torch and even drop it on the ground and have it give off light.

You aren't a "subscriber" to Minecraft, and seriously? Code the game in an entirely different language? Part of the charm of Minecraft is that it is a Java based game that you can play in your Web browser. Notch never said "this game can and will run on all computers", so I don't see why he should pretty much re-do the entire game just to accommodate for a few people.

Awesome. Hopefully, this means that creative will be updated with all the stuff from beta, like ladders, doors, torches, ect. like the xperia play version. Also, headshots! And sprinting confirmed? Sweet. Now I'll just keep my fingers crossed for dolphin-diving.

My main concern is the NPC villes and how a lot of people are a bit upset. It would be great if Notch put an option somewhere to enable/disable generated villages.

I GET IT. The new 1.8 logo is a spoiler in itself! Check out Steve.

Theory:
Items in the left hand are usable by left-click, mainly to destroy, dig, chop, or attack. Right hand items are usable via right-click, only for constructive means, like placing blocks, torches, levers, redstone wire, etc.

The logo looks epic! The ideas? Love them just as much. Though I must admit, I'm a tad worried about NPC villages. It just sounds a little.. Odd.

Other than that, I love it though. Awesome job Notch!

What I mean by odd is that it seems a bit strange in Minecraft. Though who knows? It might turn out awesome.

Surprise, surprise..

THERE ARE SURPRISES!
SURPRISE FOILED!!

That's what you get for not revealing vital information, which if revealed, might lower sales of the full game!! :angry.gif:

Otherwise, YAYAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAY!!

Lol
