1.8 Updates: Textures & More
"...new complex terrain features, at least one new mob, some interesting new combat mechanics, a new lighting engine, and some experimental new gameplay ideas. To come is more interesting farming, bigger incentives to explore, and npc villages."
Additionally, Jeb_ has confirmed release of the updated terrain.png and items.png files, so texture pack artists can have their packs ready to go by 1.7's release. He also added that mossy cobblestone has been updated for 1.8, but will not be included in 1.7's release.
We will continue providing information as it develops.
to me
I know this was awhile ago, but I didn't see it then.
You realize you have 12,550,820 meters to build in every direction, right? I'm sure that NPC villages will take up very little of that. If you actually play Minecraft, you should know that it's not a small world. Go out and explore once it awhile, seeing as that's what you're supposed to do.
The quiver is in the unsed section of the wiki it is not new at al

(the creeper is for approval :wink.gif: )
I hope, though there are other mobs I wish he would add as well.
If he implements them, I hope you can tame/ride them like the mod someone made.
