Seen here is a screenshot of a new monster in the works for 1.8. While Notch didn't specify exactly what it was, it seems fairly apparent that this new arrival in Minecraft isn't especially friendly-looking. What is it? What can it do? We will keep you updated as this information becomes available!
Update - Thanks to Nyanners and KSMF, respectively, for the following two enhanced images!
Those are pine trees.
They have layered leaves.
Have you neever been to a snow biome since the 2 new trees were added?
Which is awesome.
"Gimme 20 diamondz, No wifin in da club."
May I also point out that there is a mushroom on the right.
But why does it look like there is water flowing out of a giant mushroom? Maybe the mob closest to the right of the screenshot found a bucket?
