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!
Only issues I've seen so far are lighting glitches on top of chests and I'm unable to eat anything. I tried raw and cooked, put it in my hand and right clicked. Nothing.
For the millionth bajillionth time, you must HOLD DOWN WHEN YOU CLICK TO EAT.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. When will people stop asking? DX
I honestly have to say if this is any indication of how the final release is going to be, then Mojang needs to stop and sell the rights to another company.
This is worse then terrible. It is the biggest steaming pile I have yet to see pumped out of the rectum of Mojang. Here are a list of serious flaws,
The world generation is hideous, floating little dirt clusters, chopped mountains, mine pylons floating when intersecting caves while being thin and underdeveloped and crap use of the height limits.
Whats worse is it doesn't even look anyone tried! It looks like all the suggested fixes for the world height was just copied and pasted in without regard to how the current code would handle the generation!
Half the stuff that was all dolled up was given obvious priority over core issues. Such as WORLD GENERATION AND SETTINGS FOR SUCH AS WELL AS SOME ADDED OBVIOUS FEATURES FOR ADMINING.
BUT I suppose we all know that Mojang hates multiplayer, the very thing that made them as popular as what they are, the very thing that continuously produces sales and the very thing that keeps this horrendous game alive after every glitchy, migraine inducing patch.
Where are the NPC's for these hideous villages? And yes they are hideous.
I cannot find one thing besides bows that doesn't look like it was coded in within 30 minutes.
In the end I guess it's nice to see Mojang is still only producing code for this game for the money, not the experience or for the players and PAYERS.
Way to go guys, this is the Windows ME patch of Minecraft.
haha noone cares about you :smile.gif: have a nice day
Um, I would like to say I found a bug. I had turned my fog to Normal, had it on Max FPS, on Quake Pro ( not sure if that matters but ok.) i had gotten a furnace down and went to put some wood in there for charcoal, when i did, it gave me the loading screen that said "saving chunks" in like a weird grey and two on top of each other, then i got a black screen. and it did nothing until i exited the window
soo yeah, EPIC UPDATE I LOVE THE SKILL POINTS AND ITS MUCH EASIER TO FIND DOGS AS I FOUND OUT QUICKLY WHEN I KILLED ONE

Someone help! I'm on a Mac and whenever I try to download it, it tells me "The Java JAR file "minecraft.jar" could not be launched. Why is this happening? I'd appreciate help a lot! I can't wait too long to play it, I might starve of deprivation of 1.8.
For those of you who don't know how to install it, first make sure you have downloaded the minecraft.jar file. Then click start and type %appdata% in the search bar, then click Roaming. There you should see a folder named .minecraft so open it then open bin, after that you should see minecraft.jar near the bottom, so then all you gotta do is replace that .jar file with the one you have downloaded from here. Have fun!
agreed
please fix i need some lime green dye
