What am I missing? Also, you can discuss the features here. But don't talk about "Notch should do this, etc."

I hope Notch adds upside down carts and minecart lava boat functionality like he mentioned he might.

Um, we aren't sure if the new mossy cobble is a replacement texture or a new block yet. And lighting will have color, so torches will be a warm light, but at night, the lighting around will get colder.

Silverfish mob, there's textures for it. He may or may not be using it. [editline]22nd August 2011[/editline] Oh, and ruins/strongholds.

[QUOTE=salmonmarine;31891296]Silverfish mob, there's textures for it. He may or may not be using it. [editline]22nd August 2011[/editline] Oh, and ruins/strongholds.[/QUOTE] I'll add it when it's confirmed he's gonna use it

Not too sure I'll be a fan of sprinting, but time will tell. :v:

I know it's obvious but for the stupid people,you forgot to put bigger dungeons.

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;31891468]I know it's obvious but for the stupid people,you forgot to put bigger dungeons.[/QUOTE] Got it, thanks.

You forgot ruins and the watermelons.

[QUOTE=Nifae;31891445]Not too sure I'll be a fan of sprinting, but time will tell. :v:[/QUOTE] I don't understand how anybody could [I]possibly[/I] be against sprinting. What's wrong with moving faster?

In that picture of the Enderman battle in a village,if you look carefully,you can see that a zombie has an arrow sticking to him after being shot.Also,the cooked porkchop texture was changed.

[QUOTE=Nifae;31891445]Not too sure I'll be a fan of sprinting, but time will tell. :v:[/QUOTE] Why, what's wrong with it?

As notch said, sprinting might make the players feel like they're moving too slowly when they are NOT sprinting, so it needs some form of balance. also I think there was an image showing lamb chops but dont take that for a fact

[QUOTE=Bletotum;31891566]As notch said, sprinting might make the players feel like they're moving too slowly when they are NOT sprinting, so it needs some form of balance. [/QUOTE] I already feel I move too slowly and sprinting isn't in the game yet. I hope he doesn't nerf it with some crap like a stamina bar or something.

You forgot attacking while sprinting will send mobs flying, eating food will take time, And you can block attacks, and monsters will have attack animations. Also, it would be cool if you added the pictures of the confirmed features, like the npc villages, rivers, ravines, warmer lighting etc.

Add higher clouds, fence gates, animal farms and pumpkin farming. Also why are NPC towns listed as optional? [editline]23rd August 2011[/editline] Giant mushrooms too.

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;31891468]I know it's obvious but for the stupid people,you forgot to put bigger dungeons.[/QUOTE] When did they ever say that?

Fine....

Added some stuff, as well as "fighting", and "food/farming" sections. [editline]23rd August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=LegoGuy;31891767]My Ideas: Water wheel: When FLOWING (not still) water goes through it, it will emit redstone energy. Light detector/Solar panel: When a light level 10 or higher shines on it, it will emit redstone energy. You can also be able to chainge the setting to 5, 10, or 15[/QUOTE] This isn't the thread for this kind of stuff.

critical hits

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;31891735]When Jeb got interviewed. [editline]22nd August 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/569909-an-interview-with-jeb/[/url][/QUOTE] I think he was referring to strongholds.

[QUOTE=Chilean;31891882]I think he was referring to strongholds.[/QUOTE] Are you trolling me,or are you terrible at reading [quote] [b]MCF: It looks like dungeons will be very different after 1.8, can you tell us a bit about them? Jeb: The old dungeons still remain, these are just bigger with corridors, doors and stairs.[/b][/quote] He means the ruins,they're the same shit.

No I know. But look, he said the old dungeons. What are strongholds? They're essentially dungeons, with corridors, doors, and stairs. This is an interview, so what probably happened is the interviewer saw the strongholds, mislabled them as "new dungeons", and Jeb didn't think to correct him. It's all semantics but I'm just going by the Wiki, which called them strongholds.

You accidentally put "Monsters will have attack animations" in graphics/ui and I think notch said something about bows charging to fire at a longer distance.

wait, no more rapid fire bows? fuck this binary I'm deleting.

Well, here's hoping that this is only the tip of the iceberg as far as content goes. Knowing how things are, notch and jeb might add some hidden stuff since this is the biggest update since the seecret friday updates back in alpha.
