It seems Notch has been hard at work since showing off Minecraft beta 1.8 at PAX; with a few new handy tweaks before the ‘adventure update’ is launched.
Commenting on the social networking site Twitter Notch firstly revealed that he had tweaked the new sprinting mechanic so that “it’s infinite now, but drains lots of food”. He then went onto add a “player list in multiplayer”.
For Minecraft players on laptops there will also be a super handy feature in 1.8 according to Notch “You can bind any action to a mouse button now, or to a keyboard key. Really helps trackpads”.
Can you wait till Minecraft beta 1.8’s release? Comment below what you can’t wait to try out!
Ok when is 1.8 coming out again>?
@ JOSHUA Never. It was suppose to be out by yesterday but they delayed it…again.
Godammit delayed again?! Are you kidding me?
Notch said he would officially release it sept. 8, he promised
Isn’t it suppose to come out in Sept 2? Or Monday Sept 5
It’s coming out September 8th.
Notch never gave a release date – Jens said the “Target” date is Sept 8th, but that means that it will be released then if and only if they think it is ready and appropriate to release. You can’t take offhand comments and turn them into official release dates and promises.
They will do what they usually do and delay it, then when the update comes out it ends up being rubbish!
Yeah they delay it and delay it, then suddenly release it to millions of people.
Obviously they aren’t going to find all the bugs themselves, they should just be releasing these updates to us right away with nightly builds. Millions of people giving them diagnostic information and reporting bugs in the open beta would speed up production, as it is they coddle us WAY too much (remember it is supposed to be a beta and we all know that).
here is the original post from Jens Bergenstein (he never said something wrong concerning update releases…)
