The adventure update is going great! We’re adding features and cramming in content, and then started feature creeping and content creeping. What we’ve got on our hands now is somewhere in between a finished Adventure Mode update and a version of the game we’d be proud to call just “Minecraft”. Not “Minecraft Beta” or “Minecraft Alpha”, but just plain and simple “Minecraft”.
And we’re going to release that version of the game live on stage in Vegas at MineCon! Woooo!
Up until then, instead of trying to squeeze in another real release, we’re going to do weekly (or so) pre releases, aimed at advanced players. We release these via twitter, so make sure to follow me (@notch) and Jens (@jeb_) if you’re interested in those.
Also, we’re finally adding a dragon.
Notch posted this on his blog not to long ago. It awnsers the question of how the next release is going to play out! It also strongly suggusts lots of hidden features not in our current pre-release. Anyone else looking forward to our new pre-releases?
so there will be 1.9?
EDIT: nvm just read it properly.
Anyway I can't wait for the adventure update to be over and all the new content to be released. It all looks so cool :biggrin.gif:
While I like this way of doing things, I can see it making other people aggravated.
Also, looks like no real mod updates until after full release.
Hey, that's better than making mods update and break every week or less with all the updates it sounds like they will be making! We've had to wait this long for updates before! We just never got to test the prerelease like this!

I totally agree. it's just that I miss some of the mods I used to use, and I'm too lazy to switch between .jars to use them again. Right now, I'm using 1.9pre3 and I'm perfectly happy with it.
I just wish they would finish or confirm finished, biome code and everything else that requires new chunks / new world in order to work, so that we could start setteling on servers again instead of floating in limbo on temporary worlds.
