lighting looks hekka messed up.
u can no longer hold right click and let ur hand auto mine in random places.
blocks look really skinny.
i am disappointed.
changes are so drastic.
i cant even call it minecraft anymore.
if i bought PAX tickets. this release makes me not even want to go and touch minecraft anymore.
OMG! I was just watching the Yogscast and then I noticed that the Stone Bricks are the textures of the walls in some of the rooms on Prelude of the Chamber. Notch, you are smart by being lazy! That is my man!
Just to note, my game just crashed. Not sure what it was I was doing that caused it. Just made a stone pick and was getting the extra materials out of the work area when it went to "saving chunks" and crashed. I also had clay baking in the oven with coal as the fuel source, so that may have been part of the cause as well. I know there's a wiki or something for glitch/bug posts, but I don't want to post there when I'm not positive what caused my crash.
I'm currently hating the 1.8 update. At least this pre-release is a piece of ****.
1.7.3 = 65-70 fps
1.8 Pre Release = 35-40 fps with lag spikes that makes the fps go to 10 every 5 or 6 seconds! Also, everytime you join a new server, it stays like 10 seconds with 0 fps. ¬¬
Also, NPC villages are ridiculous, the gravel roads are all messed up!
There's A LOT of crazy bugs that should be fixed the first time Notch of Jeb test played it... IF they ever test played this ****.
I'm ****ing dissapoint with Mojang now. ¬¬
A furnace bug? WTF, they never cooked something on their "test plays".
I'll wait until it updates COMPLETLY... what da ****ing hell.
Lastly, I think gameplay is a bit unbalanced. It's too easy for me. However, the fact that foods do not heals directly is a pain in the **** hole. :smile.gif:
Theres a few things that made me smile, though: the new mobs are awesome, the new lighting is breathtaking and new itens (face gates) and farming are BADASS!
The veredict? With all these bugs, I'll just stick with 1.7.3 until 1.8 is really out.
They know about the furnace bug, about the duplication bug and all, but fixing it takes effort, and it is probably the reason why it was going to delay the patch.
You do realize this is why they say that they "leaked" the 1.8 update, right? I mean, they could wait for a few days until all these is fixed, or they could give us a preview right now, on this weekend. I think they are awesome for giving me the chance of playing the bugged version instead of making me wait until the working version is ready.
About the fps drop though, that is probably because of the new lightning system... so this part I agree with you, it will be very bad if you can't use the old light, that is much faster (my pc works fine with the new lights, and I think they are awesome, but I can understand the pain of people having their fps reduced to unplayable levels).
Also, the map in creative is.....weird. It centers around wherever you look at it, and from then on, all maps are locked. Maybe creative needs to have a different way to handle maps...
I just discovered that when you have a sword in hand and you right click you will go in a fighting stance or something. I'm still triyng to figure out what it does....

Its a block animation I am not sure if it works I haven't tried it out yet.
You missed one new update! I noticed right away! New particles in water. Also I feel more like swimming now, because is it just me or is the underwater terrain different? I even found clay.
Just some reports. First off when you right click while holding a sword you will perform a blocking animation, this has not been listed as part of the update. Second, when entering nether whilst in creative mode you will spawn in the black void and mobs become unresponsive. And third, the reach distance seems to have been increased by at least two blocks. But I have a suggestion. Enderman should become more powerful. As I was exploring a mineshaft and deep in I found an enderman very far away in the cave. Going by the previous reports of unresponsive enderman I foolishly decided to look directly at it. It did it's spazoid routine and plopped right in front of me(Nearly s**t myself) but I hit it 3 time with a stone sword and it died with inflicting minimal damage on me. It needs to be bulked up, is what i'm saying. Also on the topic of enderman, I think we need more types of enderman just like the elemental creepers mod. I think some enderman should be able to shapeshift to look like the nearest mob(If in an NPC village it will become a herobrine)and only take it's original form if damaged or looked at directly. Other enderman should comoflouge themselves to match the backround(Dirt, stone, water, ect.). And i think i have a use for enderpearls, you can use them to craft tools that are slightly weaker than diamond but have special ability's based on the tool's use(Ender swords FTW!). Enderman should also spawn in the nether. I think that's it for now. I haven't had any lag problems yet and I think the update is very good.
That doesn't sound at all like mine. I'm enjoying mine more than ever now. Your's may be pretty buggy still. Perhaps you'll enjoy it more when it's an official update.
OK look guys I cannot help but notice some of you are complaining about 1.8 ALREADY I mean gosh dang it's stupid guys! Not to be rude but...Think about this is a "Leaked" package and it's a pre-relese Notch said THERE WILL BE BUGS and FPS issues! This isn't the finished product...think of it more as an experimental product...heck ya it's gonna be unstable! SO quit slamming it on the whole lighting and FPS issue...I'm sorry you couldn't play it on your computer!
As for me I find it to be great (Yeah it's got it's bugs but Whatever) I've run into 2 minor ones...No door sound when Right click and dark block spots. And I have run into a medium one...two in fact...Rain can sometimes fall through my roof...in my home! Multiplay Endermen Do not attack you....This may be a good thing for now hahaha :biggrin.gif:

shits messed up.
/close minecraft
Help me please. Elaborate too.
I did get a crash when right-clicking a door, so it might be related to right-clicks? Or perhaps it depends on which way the furnace is facing?
