Jens and Notch havejustannounced 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!
I got a bug while blocking with a sword. When I aimed at a monster at any distance and left clicked while blocking, it hit the enemy when I stopped blocking, even from far away!
My opinion is expressed in one word: Epic but buggy
The new lighting and sprint (doubletap W) is awesome. And I found an underground mining railsystem I didn't build with cobwebs and ready placed supports and lighting!
Although halfway through I got a random autosave/quit thing, and crashed :sleep.gif:
1.8 has great content but many bugs, I hope they iron out the bugs by full release.
EDIT: Just realized how ridiculously big the generated railsystem is.
Its really easy to get lost in
EDIT2: The railsystem contains chests :biggrin.gif:
Will leave untill full release and TMI
fml.
