Alright, I'm sort of disappointed. I waited so long for the big new update and all you guys did was release us a patch that wasn't finished (which wasn't the first, previous patch was the same). With that, now I'm still unable to play since 1.9 is supposed to finish what was supposed to be released in 1.8. Not sure why 1.8 wasn't considered the nightly build to be honest.

You could always create a world, and not travel everywhere that ever existed. Since after updates, newly generated chunks get the update. Also, don't go into the Nether till the update, or stay in a small area.

This creates extinction and makes getting food harder, worst idea ever to make animals persistent but not add animal breeding during that process.
So yeah, I've been playing creative mode and waiting for 1.9 because 1.8 is unplayable in my opinion at the moment.
You are using the term unplayable very wrong... Thread title makes it sound like you found a case where you are unable to play the game. What you mean is, YOU don't like the state of 1.8 and don't WANT to play. Very different.

It is unplayable, I can't play the game to the fullest extent because if I do I will be missing out on the new and more improved world generator and the other stuff I mentioned above.
Or just make a world for fun and test out the new features. Just don't get attached to it all that much! I have 3 survival 1.8 worlds I'm playing right now simply for the sake of testing out everything and experiencing the world as it is! And I have a few creative modes just so I can fly around and look at the pretty things! But I don't really plan on keeping any of these worlds, maybe one of them, but the rest are pretty much just playtime!

Hard to not get attached to something you work so hard on. Also playing for fun knowing my world will be deleted doesn't really make me wanna play, so I end up not playing.
You don't have to build your dreamhouse. :smile.gif: There is plenty to do just playing around in the game. But it doesn't HAVE to be deleted, there is also another option.
Make your world, have fun, don't focus too much on fancy houses though--you will be moving if you really really just want the new biomes and such. Or build your house, and have two bases when 1.9 gets here!
Focus on getting obsidian for the nether(Two portals) when the nether update happens! Don't make the portal yet.. Wait for the update to the nether.. When the update comes, you will have adequate armor, weapons, etc. to survive whatever the new nether throws at us! Travel in one direction for quite some time as you explore the nether... When you feel satisfied you have traveled far enough, make your new portal!
You can even have a nice bridge/safe walkway connecting your portals so you can have your new home with the new biomes and unlimited strongholds, but can also return to your homebase and caves you know so well! :smile.gif: That way you have two separate bases!
Just try not to go to the nether until the update! That would be the only thing.

I'm assuming that you're telling me to play, save up items and blocks, then delete my world and create a new one when 1.9 comes out. Actually isn't a bad idea, but I feel like it'll be too easy for me when I start all over.
Why would it be 'too easy'? I wouldn't consider it a new game, it's a new outpost in the same world..it would be the same as creating a new base even still in 1.8. You could even leave all your junk behind if you want, only to use when you are at the 1.8 base if you want the 1.9 area to start you all over. The main point was just so you could play now and not have to delete everything/start a new world when 1.9 gets here. The main key is just holding out on the nether, then the choice of what to do next is yours :smile.gif: Dump all your ore in the lava if you want a full start over in the same world without ruining your old buildings!
But you don't have to play now, I just know I've been enjoying it and as such feel like helping people get ideas to get the most out of their game in any way I can, but I know a few others are having less fun in general with the update.. :sad.gif:

Don't get me wrong, the new update was great. However it was unfinished...
"I am disappointed, therefore this update is worthless." Is all I got from this thread.
Listen man, there's far too many of these type of threads. People complain about nearly everything that has been in the update. I'm amazed there is no complaint thread about the clouds being too high.

...When will you be happy?
I liked this update actually, maybe you should read the post before you judge the title. I just dislike that it was released unfinished, making it not worth playing until it's properly finished with 1.9. And there I go repeating myself...
Do those words make you feel better about yourself? :laugh.gif:

Please grow up, your puny words don't bother me. You're too immature to be using the forums.
Actually, that sounds like a good thing to do. All that seems to be on the forums is whining about 1.8.
Discussion of / listing of bugs of said update, not streams of complaining. Strangely enough, there is a difference between the two.
Did you read the stickies? There is already an official thread for bugs, why would we make a bunch of posts for something we could keep in a single thread?

Right, a thread listing the bugs in 1.8, just as I said that should be in a 1.8 Discussion forum.
Reasons Why Minecraft Is Unplayable
1) Unfinished Biome Code
- Missing Snow Biomes
- Updated Swamp Biome
- Adding Mushroom Biome
- Increasing Strongholds
Pointless to generate new world.
2) Nether Update
Pointless to generate new world.
3) Persistent Animals
- Missing Animal Breeding Feature
This creates extinction and makes getting food harder, worst idea ever to make animals persistent but not add animal breeding during that process.

Look at my thread, bro!

Another words, sit and do nothing?
It is unplayable, I can't play the game to the fullest extent because if I do I will be missing out on the new and more improved world generator and the other stuff I mentioned above.
It's not bad, it's just going to be improved, so why should I create a new world now if I'm going to have a crappier swamp?
See my 'Ocean adventure' thread. Seriously.
