1.8 Updates: First Ravines, Now Rivers

In this recent tweet, we can see the first released image of a game-generated river! It's a safe bet at the moment that it will face similar height restrictions as default water generation, but that may change in time - after all, we already have legitimately generated waterfalls!

We will keep you posted as more information about rivers is released.

Greatt, do they flow? like a real river? or are they just like lakes and bodys of water because there were already lake-like water channels and such.

I must smash the barrier between 1.7.3 and 1.8 and cross over to the other and better side of Minecraft.

Can't wait till Notch gives me the hammer.

Can anyone tell for certain if those 2 orange things at bottom left are pumpkins?

And people, stop getting hyped about the Giant Mushrooms.
We've known about them for nearly 2 months.

No, not Aether. The Skylands that notch left in awhile back. And I mean actual You go up, you are there, no loading, same with digging down.

And, I see: 2 Red Mushrooms, and a brown one, plus 2 pumpkins.

I hope the rivers have flowing water instead of still water.

Wow, nice. I was just looking to see if there were rivers in the suggestions forums last night. Just when I really feel like rivers I'm told rivers are in it. WOW

There weren't already rivers in MC? O.o

Not these rivers. There might have been small branches of water, but they weren't exactly rivers.

You know, I somehow doubt that. Last time I heard that was when Little Big Planet was going to have its water update, where they added water and a Pirates of the Carribean DLC-pack. They said it was getting released "23rd September" or "10th December," but really, it was all a joke. Most people actually believed in it.

The river screenshot looks nice, sick of seeing only small ponds and large seas.
