[QUOTE=Sewer guy;31993364]OH. I'm stupid.[/QUOTE] How so?
1.8 is part 1, 1.9 is part 2
[QUOTE=Ardosos;31993361]I don't see why they don't add updates like 1.8, 1.8.1, etc. They can add more than bugfixes.[/QUOTE] Regarding version numbers, that particular digit is usually reserved for small content updates and bugfixes. If it's large enough of a content update, it's generally accepted that the second digit be increased instead of the third one. The more significant the content update, the earlier number you increment.
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;31990156]Yeah, for us server hosters, I hope they release it with ALL the terrain generation done. I don't want to have to make another god damn map when the second part comes out. But, whatever, maybe we'll just do another trial map for the first half to really get the hang of the new features.[/QUOTE] I hope for you server hosters that they don't release it too soon otherwise Bukkit won't have enough time to get Bukkit updated before it releases.

[QUOTE=Sewer guy;31993395]1.8 is part 1, 1.9 is part 2[/QUOTE] and 2.0 is release version GENIUS.GIF [editline]28th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=NoMan;31992701]I'm going to wait until both parts are out before I play Minecraft again.[/QUOTE] I'll only try the creative mode

The more you ride a pig the better it will become and with enough time it could start running 1.5 times faster than a normal player, or something like that, so that riding a pig will actually be useful.

If that happens, it'd be funny if it turned hostile. It's like the chickens in OoT all over again :v:
I thought monsters would have attack animations in 1.8 I just saw the zombie in a PAX video and no animation.
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;31995309]I thought monsters would have attack animations in 1.8 I just saw the zombie in a PAX video and no animation.[/QUOTE] Hopefully it's still being worked on and will be added in the release of the update.
I thought Notch said that 1.9 is the Nether update?
[QUOTE=Sharc;31999011]I thought Notch said that 1.9 is the Nether update?[/QUOTE] plans are changed then, probably. I really hope everything that has to do with generation is first, and then everything else is next. Why is he splitting it up, anyway?
I think what he'll probably do is release what was at PAX for 1.8 (part 1), and then everything that was missing in the PAX version will be added in 1.9 (part 2).
IGN Commentary of Notch and 1.8 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcNgWEhlAxg&feature=relmfu[/media]
Great, now we get 2 unfinished things. Empty villages and unusable skill points (From what I think) I guess Notch couldn't wait for a vacation :v:, that's why he splitted 1.8 in half so it would release faster.

Empty villages and unusable skill points (From what I think) I guess Notch couldn't wait for a vacation :v:, that's why he splitted 1.8 in half so it would release faster.[/QUOTE] More like he's already got a bunch of finished features, and since villages and the new world generation aren't done yet, he's decided to give us some of the finished stuff while we wait.
So is everything we saw in the video going to be in the first part of the update?
If notch doesn't include the new biome/worldgen code in the next update, I am pretty sure of the server owners will pull their hair out.

Arrows stick into enemies now.
I'm glad we're getting closer to terrain that is 1:1 with real-world terrain. Still seems pretty small though. (Stuff like mountains, rivers, individual biomes) How cool would it be to have life-size continents and oceans? Sure, it would take a lot longer to travel across, but something like planes/airships could be added to help.

Then he got distracted by a "dungeon in a teeny-tiny island."

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;32009826]He should just add horses + stables in NPC villages[/QUOTE] Notch stated that he won't add horses to the game. (at PAX)
I hope there is a mount of some kind but not a horse, thats just boring.
[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;32009904]Notch stated that he won't add horses to the game. (at PAX)[/QUOTE] And most importantly, no ponies!
[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;32007641]If notch doesn't include the new biome/worldgen code in the next update, I am pretty sure of the server owners will pull their hair out.[/QUOTE] It probably wont be included. As long as Notch is still working on some of the worldgen code, he's probably saving it all for one update. Most server owners and players would be even [i]more[/i] pissed off if they had to generate a new world again a few weeks after already generating a new one after this update.
