1.8 Updates: Animal Actions, Secret Stuff

By Sacheverell Sep 7, 2011

A short while ago, Notch talked about some of the exciting behavioral changes in animals for 1.8 - most notably, how they will now flee when attacked, rather than stand there and stare at you. This ended up having the added effect of wolf attacks looking more "natural", in a sense, as prey would now flee its attacker, rather than look around blankly and grunt. He went on to say that - due in part to the behavioral changes, and a desire to see more dynamic mob-to-mob interactions - he is beginning a super-secret weekend project! What does it entail?

We'll have the details when they're ready!

Interesting. I'll be looking forward to more intelligent game play. The only concern I have is how much longer will it take to release 1.8? It's already going into the weekend now.
