Minecraft Forums

OK, i just recently started my addiction to minecraft, but i have experienced the most entertainment in a simple 8bit(looking) 3d sim game in my life. I love minecraft. I am very excited to see an update coming soon and for me its even better because i haven't been waiting as long as others but trust me i know the agonizing feelings you are all having.(Halo: Reach, the wait = DEATH!! release date = biggest lan party of halo i have ever hosted!) I wish there were more things added to the game with this update, but i have happy ambitions towards the fact that notch and his gang will not stop for a long time in the creation of this game. I would love to point out one things i would enjoy seeing in soon-to-come updates:

Mounts- Horses, Sea Turtles, Large Birds?

More plants to farm- all we have is bamboo,wheat,cacti and wild grass. I know that is an OK amount but me being a player of many games i enjoy variety.

Better Map- I do like the map alot it was fun figuring out how to make one, but it could be ALOT better. Some features i was imaginging were the ability to mark specific places on the map (ie: Bases, Mines, Farms). And another thing that could be a good feature is some way to save the map you have and copy it to have extra's handy when you die and loose one.

Teleporter- Maybe a plate powered with am A and a B piece placed at different places for instant travel. (I would use diamonds for crafting the item to make it a bit more difficult to make, ya know so they have to work for it :]).

LOTS MORE ACHIEVEMENTS!!!- I love getting a small window pop up and say i did something that is awesome. Playing a minecraft is like volunteer work, you get praised. Playing minecraft with thousands of achievements is like working for a payoff.

I feel lonely- I would like to see a pet like the wolves but a bit more interactive and customizing. (all my wolves are sporting the same collar T.T)

I have had lots of other thoughts but they only come to me while i am playing lol so that is my thoughts on minecraft right now. (Funny thing happened while i was playing just now Pic Added.)

Everybody needs to stop attempting to hurry along the release... Caps, Spamming and just continually saying that it should be done as of this second, aren't going to make it magically appear.

As for this update, Epicness... Will be very nice to see what is on the cards even further down the track, seeing all of these user-created mods that are coming out...

People are making good headway in this amazing phenomenon that is Minecraft.

Pluto, Go look at the mods section, that's precisely what a lot of them add... Waypoints, More animals, Minimap... heaps of stuff... Just look in the section on the forums of Released Mods, and...

Prepare to read and follow instructions.

endermen sound worse then creepers

Quote from TheLastOrphan

No!!!! they are taking out survival!? Darn, I loved survival, wish it could be a choice between all three modes. But these updates do sound cool! :smile.gif:

Note there is a tab to switch between classic and new so maybe notch will put in a tab to choose what beta/ alpha/ new version you want to run at the moment... like choosing beta 1.7.3 will bring you to the update and the world has a marking that sayys B1.7.3 or whatever version you are running. F for full F1.0_1 for example

come naow

Thank you had no clue about it lol sorry for the post then.

So yeah, about the Endermen, does anyone know if looking at them through the holes in the door or through glass can cause them to get you? The door I could understand but the glass could make that problematic seeing as how they could then pop into your house.

Experience orbs? I dont quite like that idea. its like agaisnt the concept of "in minecraft no player has any advantage over any playet when spawned and no like "headstarts" rather experience orbs let you charge up for a critical hit, or a special attack that freezes your opponent for 10 seconds, heals your health,attack all mobs at once in a 10x10 radius, so many to choose from

This update will definatly change the game

Everybody should be really patient.....
If we aren't, he might RUSH it trying to please us and then RUIN it!
You don't want a really buggy update do you?
I DIDN'T THINK SO, SO KEEP THE WHINING DOWN PLEASE.
Thank you :smile.gif:

P.S I hear this might be coming out sometime in early september! :biggrin.gif:

It seems like 1.8 is just going to be a game itself considering how epic it is.

it says that the adventure mode would replace survival. so does that mean no more regular minecraft? because that would suck! but other than that, im VERY excited!!

Mojang are really ripping themselves off, I think Minecraft should cost more because its so fun and fancy, I just dont like how there is no provided automatic Multiplayer server maker provided.

you know how buggy it would be right?

definitely the 2nd best MC update!!!
(1st one if the Halloween update)

For all those asking "when will it come out" i can safely say 78 days. (trollface)

Jeb posted on Twitter that 1.8 is most likely coming out on September 8th.
That will be one of the happiest days of my life.

Notch didn't show NPCs because Jeb hasn't worked them out yet.
