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!
actually quite a few are trying to help. no one bothers to even read tho or put effort in trying to get it to work. if you cant get it to work then just wait for the official release :/
If that's the case I need help. I am running Windows XP, I have replaced 1.7.3 with 1.8, when I generate a new world, I crash. Some assistance would be appreciated.
To Download, click on the link that says client for, once its downloaded open up your downloads folder and find a .jar file named minecraft.jar, on windows go to run from the start menu and type in %appdata%, then click ok. Then click the folder named .minecraft, then go into the folder called bin, and copy and paste the mine craft.jar into this folder, click replace if it prompts you to. On mac, the instructions are the same, but the minecraft folder is instead located at YOURUSERNAMEHERE/library/application support/. Hope this clears up the confusion.

personally i wouldnt know since im using mac and i dont have any crashes but are you running with a clean minecraft folder? thats just my guess. or you might not have enough memory or something cause it has such major lag issues.
like most people who are having trouble I have tried countless tutorials posted by people here, yet it never works. So yes people are trying to help but it's just not working. I guess we should just classify these done loading/black screens as common bugs and hope notch and jeb fix it very soon so everyone can test.
WHY DON"T YOU READ THRU THE POSTS FOR ONCE AND DONT TALK IN CAPS ITS RUDE
HEY GUESS WHAT I JUST SAID I READ EVERYTHING. I REPLACED THE FILE YET I STILL FREEZE AT DONE LOADING. DONT HAVE AN ANSWER? THEN DONT TALK TO ME. :dry.gif:

in creative mode? double tap the space bar to get out of it. or hold shift till you land on the ground and that will also get you out of it
