1.8 Updates: Taller Worlds, Delicious Foods
Jeb posted another teaser image, this one of a cooked chicken. While nothing was specified about it, there also appears to be a new mystery bar beneath the health track - what could it be?
Additionally - Notch appears to have been experimenting with map-height changes. He went on to say that while nothing definitive is planned, they are looking into possible map height restrictions in the future.
Finally - a new launcher is being tested! You can help test it here. Bear in mind, it is only launching Minecraft for the moment, but the stress-testing of the launcher will provide helpful data for Mojang, to further improve it!
Stay tuned for further updates as they develop.
ADVENTURE UPDATE!! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAI WILL WATCH YOU ROT HAHAHAHAHAHA
There was a Minecraft Wiki page on said orb, but it was deleted due to a rule on the wiki.
Realtime? :blink.gif:
Some processes are actually SLOWER on realtime, since it eats up so much more CPU than it normally would. Try setting it to high.
No difference, just tested.
Decided to get optimine/optifog as well. Performance is smoother and my FPS is now averaging 40, but occasionally drops to 30 from time to time.
It would appear if the new map height does indeed slow FPS in 1.8, people with default graphics cards may have to rely on optimine/fog to function properly.
The exp bar looks interesting, though.
