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.

But then so are all of these 1.8 snippets.
Taller maps are something I've very much wanted to see in the game for quite some time now. Not only does it allow for taller mountains but it implies canyons, chasms, and things like that; not only above ground, but also underwater.
Yup. This will certainly bring me back to Minecraft with gusto.

and the mystery bar is probably for exp
My first guess when I saw that sectionned bar was that it was possibly an experience bar (since there will be an experience orb). Although I'm wondering where the armor would be displayed then...
maybe armour will be used like defence where it wont deteriorate? or it just might be part of health
Im especially liking the bigger height limit.
If its happening.
