Minecraft 1.8 update released
Posted: 15.09.2011 21:35 by JonahFalcon Comments: 1
The 1.8 update to Minecraft is now live, and it comes with new modes and new biomes like swamps, oceans and abandoned mines, as well as new mobs and a new health system with stackable food. The update also adds new blocks and new weapons. The 1.8 update also introduces the Endermen, who only come out at night and attack you when you stare directly at them.

Another feature is that the game will now randomly generate villages and houses, but NPCs won't appear til version 1.9. Still, it's nice to have a preview.

Check out Notch's trailer for the 1.8 patch in the video below.

Bleh, it says adventure. Played it and:
*New map generation.
*2 items. (One useless at the moment.)
*1 Monster added.
*Added hunger bar, a little annoyance. But makes it a little more like "Survival Mode"
*Experience bar. (Does nothing at the moment.)
*Sprint... Can be useful if you have to travel far.
Other things they added, I haven't found... Must be rare.
Not auite a patch worthy of "Adventure".
