[Karbuncle]

Everyone see this?

**UPDATED AUGUST 8th - 2011**
I will keep Updating if this Topic stays alive.


Here's a list of everything going to be added for Minecraft Beta 1.8 "Adventure Update":


Fixes:

Shift+Click on items will work correctly.
Labels for items will be added.
Redstone circuits not working after time set (x) glitch going to be fixed in SMP.
User placed leaf blocks won't decay.
Clouds won't go through buildings anymore.
Rain and snow will now render faster.

Features:

Different game modes.
Limited flying in Creative mode
"At least one new mob"
New Enderman mob.
New features in the terrain generator; things which will only appear in new worlds/chunks
NPC Villages with farms and "town borders".
Possibility of players to "claim" land in villages.
Underground Ravines including canyons on the surface and ledges to walk on.
Strongholds, consisting of 4 new blocks: Stone Brick, Mossy Stone Brick, Cracked Stone Brick, and Iron Bars. (names unconfirmed)
New Mushroom biome which will include Huge Mushrooms, both brown and red.
Larger Biomes
New combat Mechanics
Critical hits
Hold-to-charge bows
Player blocking attack animation and hostile mob attack animations, possibly more player animations
New farming options, more interesting farming.
This could be the Cocoa Bean tree Jeb was talking about.
Plantable pumpkins and melons, each with a central stem that grows to max size and spawns a fruit next to it.
Animal breeding.

New Food System:

Food no longer heals directly but indirectly.
There is now a food meter.
The food meter is possibly optional since Notch has said that it will be possible to play without food.
Food will be stackable.
Food takes 1.6 seconds to consume.
There is now a food eating animation.
There will most likely be sound effects for consuming food.
5 new food items.
Cooked Chicken.
Raw Chicken.
Potentially Steak (or some other food item from cows).
New Melon block, but not yet confirmed as food.

New achievements:

Kill a skeleton with an arrow at 50 meters.
Possibly Shoot the Moon with an arrow.

Sprinting:

By double pressing the forward button, the player will move faster.
Sprinting will have a drawback, such as depleting your food bar.
Hitting a mob while "rushing" (sprinting?) sends them flying.
Glass Panes.
Possibly Spike blocks, Jeb initially considered Spike Pistons, but then pondered making a Spike block that can be pushed by the Sticky Piston.
Arrows will be stuck on mobs when it hits

Graphics / UI / Audio:

New improved lighting — day/night cycles will not require chunk updates. Lighting will be updated via a texture, whose coordinates are the block's sky light and block light levels.
Warmer light from torches.
New texture for Moss Stone.
Sliders for field of view and gamma in video options.
Redesigned HUD, including two new features, food and experience bars.
New launcher.
Possibly a web Applet launcher.
A lot of new sounds and some changes, such as minecart sounds and shear sounds, also a change in the sound of rain.
New bow sounds (including hits), new door sounds, big slimes sound, and walking skeletons sound more skeletony.
Possibly new particle effects.

Multiplayer:

Multiplayer server list
Improved server join screen: The server join screen will feature a list of servers
Player List - Press tab in multiplayer and player list comes up.
The ability to allow moderators to enter creative mode in SMP.

Modding:
Modding Support
Including easier changing of the max level (map) height.

When you put it all together in a list like that it actually sounds less impressive than I thought it would be.

[AlexRuzhyo]

If you buy the game this weekend, you get a gift code for another copy of the game. My new bank card won't be in for another damn week. Meh.

Wedding Weekend!

Hi everyone! I’m getting married to ez tomorrow, and I thought we’d celebrate by giving one free copy of Minecraft to everyone who buys the game!

How does it work, you ask?

Well, if you buy a copy of the game (not a gift code), you get a free gift code added to your account. You can see the gift codes you have by going to http://www.minecraft.net/profile/
Tell your spouse/lover/friend/acquaintance/stranger go to http://www.minecraft.net/redeem.jsp and enter the code, and within minutes you’ll both be punching trees and installing texture packs together.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

(ps, we are aware of the typo in the graphics, but it’s too expensive to fix now)

That should make things much easier on the server no?

Also...

Clouds won't go through buildings anymore.

All I needed to hear.

[Helm]

Ish the server down? >:

Thats not everything so far, I think thats just everything currently "Confirmed". Could still be more.

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, but I wouldn't have a need for a second game.

Would anyone here like to go 50/50 on a copy of Minecraft since it's BOGO? You pay me 50% of whatever the game costs, and I'll just send you the gift code (or vice versa).

I hope the villages that spawn are anything like Millenaire mod, that mod alone has kept me very busy trying to expand the growth and fighting off sky pirates and with more creeps and weirdos installed, :D its fun.

I loved Millenaire but everytime my village's progressed to a certain point there was a catastrophic glitch that would occur and made it unplayable afterwards. Really not cool when you work on a village for 3 or 4 days and then BAM game over.

[Jinn]

Hey Motsy, that second building you started at 10,000 East... That's an actual building in the IRL no? What's it called

[Mots]

Wright Price Tower. Its on hold indefinitely right now. I didnt account for the maximum building height on the server very well so its going to look less like a tower when finished and more like a short fat building. Also the amount of materials needed in order to finish it is staggering. The desert at -130, -7878 is where I got all the sandstone... and its still not nearly enough.

[Chrian]

well come next update you should be able to raise your max height cap right?

I get bad login when trying to connect. What version of the game is this using?

edit: Got it. Dont know why I got an error.

[Ragns]

1.7.x

[miokomioko]

notch just tweeted this as (I believe) a sneak peek of the new biome/terrain code:

Spoiler: show

I really hope all that dark blue is potentially deeeeep oceans. Also, looks like various rivers winding throughout.

[Karbuncle]

Oh so excited about this update... It'll definitely rekindle my excitement for Minecraft.. Will probably set up a new server or simply play single player after it hits.
