i'd hate to have to clear this if it was spawn

btw Aco, MCpatcher works for 1.8

https://github.com/pclewis/mcpatcher/downloads

I just added it and am back to faithful 32

I've been having fun burning stuff and blowing everything up in creative mode.

hehe it keeps raining for me so i cant start fires.

haven't played with TNT yet though

Excavating, like a BOSS!

notice the lack of resources though :/

Ok, I decided to see where the sea starts, and it pretty much starts at -3000,3000. So About 3k blocks out on my map.

This is in the middle of the map on Map_6. 0,0 or spawn is from the North East. Anyway, this should give you a rough idea of the change from mainland to sea area.

+ nice large swamp area.

As much as I love this 1.8 pre-release, I'm now very sad. It occurred to me AFTER I put the 1.8 on I probably should've backed up 1.7.3. So... Now I'm stuck in offline mode and I miss CFUK... V.V Should I just wipe this version and everything I've started on and download a fresh 1.7.3? Perhaps so... Anywho-I love the ravines and the thought of living on a small cluster of islands thousands of blocks away from a civilization. I'm also digging the shears. They can pick up everything now ^^ Vines, tall grass, sheep wool. And I'm pretty sure they can get dead shrubs from desert biomes. Also, I got lucky I think with a ravine and a swamp biome for my seed. I used my username.

Eh, I have two minecraft.jar files. I rename them to minecraft.jar depending which version I want to play.
minecraft savesavesave is 1.7 and minecraft onepoint8 is my 1.8.

I could do that? O.o Good idea ^^ Thanks Aco!

aco on map_1 it looks like indonesia and australia

First thing I did on 1.8 was to look directly at the endermen.

I actually got into a fist fight with one - and I won! Till a skeleton came and killed me..Then I lured the other into the water.

I think.... I think I'm pretty excited for this release. The landscape looks so much more complete and natural. Is the ceiling still at 128 blocks?

Doesn't work for me Broonie. It says Connection refused: connect

Figures I had to become unattentive towards MC for an hour or so. I guess I missed the test?

I got onto the test server and wandered a bit hoping to find ocean. Will return later to try again.

Apparently only one stronghold spawns per server. Since it would be kind of unfair for a single person to own it, maybe the community could renovate it and build a city of sorts?

Strong holds are the ruins right?

If so, there goes my plan :/

pre server is down

For people saying they cant get on the server you have to add a extra 5 to 2555

still says "can't reach server"

the faithful 32x32 1.8 pack has been released. it's not complete but it's close enough for use!

dubien

Spawn Maybe?

Yeah. That would be pretty cool if the stronghold was part of the spawn town.

I keep getting a very strange duplication glitch.

if you leave something in the workbench when you exit the crafting screen, what gets dropped on the floor is an infite block, if you pick it up and hold it with your mouse and right click you get endless supply of whatever it is.

interestingly doing this with a minecart fills your inventory with minecarts.

very weird lol
