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!
Yea I v-synced mine at 100fps as well. Can't adjust Fancy graphics or turn on advance open gl or it freezes no biggie. Loving the new lighting, the torches light gives off a flickering light thats very subtle but the effect is very nice.
I'm using my mom's friend's laptop and it's video card isn't supported!!! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
