Jens and Notch havejustannounced that the 1.8 pre-release .jar is available for public testing. It is important to remember that this is NOT The final release of 1.8, and is still extremely buggy. If you find any bugs, or need support, please join the #minecraft channel on irc.esper.net using your favorite IRC client!
NOTICE: This version will only work if you've paid for Minecraft, all the more reason to step up!
Can anyone help me find my bin folder please? Using OS X lion, tried searching in spotlight but it's not returning anything... Anyone got any other ideas?
For those who might be randomly crashing while doing nothing: You may want to try Notch's newer launcher "test". It allocates more java memory as compared to the "current" launcher. Also bare in mind that I was having javaw.exe crashes, not "black screen" or other crashes.
Personally 1.8 Pre Release seems to be using a ton more memory. Im pushing 1.2 GB while in creative, simply exploring. Whereas 1.7.3 pushed about 700MB with the current launcher.
Bug Report: when you are crafting and then close the crafting window without taking the crafted item, it makes the items from the crafting windon fall on the ground in front of you but you cant pick them up again.hope that helps. :wink.gif:
This update is not working for my mac I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 When I log in I can see the new screen and go to both the multiplayer and singleplayer log in areas. I can create a new world for single player but when I generate the new world it only loads it then goes to a black screen. A white error message flashes extremely quickly then it just goes back to the black screen and I have to close the game in order to get out of it. I hope this bug is fixed soon.
i HIGHLY doubt it will be this low of fps when the actual release is..released. iIf you ever ran minecraft through MCPatcher, you would know that the fps comes out low.This is an awsome update
it says verified allis well, goes to laucher and asks if I want to update
when I press yes i get a failed launch.
when I press not now i get the same done loading screen.
same here i would love some help on this also
im guessing the lag is because its not the official release so its not fully organized in the code
Also, no sounds play. Is this just me or does anybody else have no sound either?
