Minecraft v1.8

[Mushu]

pre-releases are usually glitchy right?

[Malson]

The game's still in beta, so it's gonna be glitchy regardless.

[Moss.]

I haven't run in to any glitches, honestly. But apparently there are some.

[Sophist]

A good place to get a handful of what's wrong with the pre-release is the Minecraft subreddit, accessible by reddit.com/r/minecraft. Not everyone loves reddit, but Notch continually reads the reddit and talks to the community there on occasion, so people have taken to posting bugs on there for Notch to gather. From what i've seen, 1.9 is less glitchy than 1.8, on the grounds that it's not adding a TON of stuff like 1.8 was.

[Grafikal]

Only thing I've noticed with the 1.9PR is the lilypads, murky water/grass added in the swamp biomes, re-added the snowy biomes, added the mushroom biome, added mooshroom mob, fireslime mob and that fire mob. Added the new blocks for netherbrick and netherbrick fences and spawners for the fire mob. Oh, and they added the npc's but they look stupid as hell and do nothing.

[Dwarra?]

Don't forget the snowmen

[Grafikal]

Oh yeah lol, I think those are the best part. I can't believe I forgot them D:

[Black Breeze]

Snowmen? And can anyone tell me what silverfish are? Idk where to find them.

[Mushu]

I don't think the silverfish are out yet but then again I'm still in v1.8
They come out of stone when you mine it.

[Grafikal]

Silverfish are only found in Strongholds. It's a block that looks like a normal Stone Block, but it breaks real easy and when broken spawns a silverfish. Also, if you kill a silverfish it will automatically break silverfish blocks in the surrounding area forcing them to spawn as well. You can quite seriously become over-run with silverfish in an instant.

And yes, they're in 1.8.1.

:x

How do you find strongholds? From what i have heard there are only one per world it that true?

[Mushu]

What makes them look different from dungeons? The iron bars right?

[Moss.]

Strongholds are more than just 5 x 5 squares, they have stairs, prisons, and sometimes libraries.

[Mushu]

Have you found a stronghold yet?

btw check out my house only problem is I can't make a door lol

[Dwarra?]

Put some stone or some shit down and make a door, I'm diggin the cactus house though

There's 3 per world now and the only way to find them mostly is on accident. I'm not sure, but I think strongholds all have entrances from the surface but it's not fancy at all to say the least so you may have found it but you wouldn't know.

What makes them look different from dungeons? The iron bars right?

Stongholds are made out of 5 (well 6) new blocks. There's the stone brick, broken stone brick, mossy stone brick, stone brick steps and stone brick half slabs (and the iron bars). The brick is obviously different from other block types. It's pretty much a legit dungeon. Long corridors, iron doors that open via a button and then there's a few special rooms. I don't know of them all, but I know that there's a sweet 2 floor'd library room and then some random other interesting rooms. Never the less, it's amazing - if you find one.    I've found one, then immediately died but didn't know where I was so I lost it

Also, this:


Made this for the new server I'm on. It's obviously a volcano but it's also a jail deep on the inside. Think of Molten Core, and that's exactly what it is. The idea is that players who become jailed are teleported all the way to the furthest North West corner of the map deep into this volcano on a giant platform held up with massive chains above lava. I'll try to take a screenshot of it when I can - cause it's pretty badass.

-
here, got some:


There's an observation deck there for non-jailed players to check out the area or make fun of who's jailed there. To get to the observation deck that low, there's a SUPER fancy spiral staircase that runs down from a supported Dock building in the water just off the coast of the volcano. We had a team of builders make this last night in a few hours.

[Mushu]

Multiplayer looks so epic, especially with that.

Edit: I found out if you get the elemental arrow mod and shoot a lightning arrow at a creeper it still changes it to a charged creeper.

[Black Breeze]

Acolyte, is that a mod?

[Acolyte]

I'm not really sure. I think it's just video editing.

[Mushu]

WoW sucks anyways, but that was still impressive xD

[Grafikal]

WoW doesn't actually suck, the people that play WoW suck. The community.

[Mushu]

I guess I could say WoW just isn't my style. It does have a lot of content but I don't like how it looks and I also dislike how customizable it is for being an mmo. It kind of takes away its authenticity.

[Black Breeze]

I've never played Wow before. :^/
