jar files need to be run/opened with java ... This update just goes into your bin folder once you have changed the extension from zip to jar. the server file rename extension to jar and run with java(winzip sometimes hijacks the file extension and you will get it open as a RAR file. justy change the file assosiation under Right click >properties>general= open with.
yes, yes. But do you know why its not working for some folks on windows 7 even after its been made a jar file, and replaced the old 1.8 jar file?
I just deleted my .minecraft folder(after zipping it up for later) then forced the update under options on the loader, then replaced the minecraft.jar file in the bin folder with the 1.8
Gives a clean install of minecraft with no mods resources etc left over.
I dont use mods though. Any ideas there? Ill go redownload everything though just for the sake of trying.
Edit: removed my .minecraft folder, redownloaded everything, redownloaded minecraft jar from jeb, and still freezing on load screen.
I'm using a Mac OSX, and I'm finding that, after the quick downloading screen, all I end up with is a completely black screen. Any clue why this is happening?
Holy crap people. Just go to Jeb's twitter and download the .jar for christs sake. It's not that freaking hard.
Have you read anything in the whole thread? Because if you were smart you would have read that for some reason it's not saving as a .Jar for some people. And then other people get stuck at downloading. Use your head please. It's buggy, just because it's not for you doesn't mean it will be for someone else.
I have my own private server. When I connect to my server my minecraft starts lagging extremely(0 FPS) since I have the 1.8 Pre-Release server client! At 1.7.3 there were no lags! Also in the singleplayer (1.8) are no lags!
Does somebody know why?
Did you update the server client as well with the 1.8 pre release 2?
I found a bug. If a torch is lighting up a nearby water block, when the torch goes out, the light level on the water does not update. But the light level on the ground updates.
Screw you. If it's not downloading as a .jar, that means YOU are doing something wrong, or minecraftforum.net did something weird with the file.
I downloaded it from Jeb's twitter, copied it to .minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar and ran the MC Launcher. This is the way it works, and no other way will make it work.
This is exactly the same as Pre-Release 1.
I've tried it on 3 different computers now, all running Windows 7 and it works just as I described.
Use your head and stop being stupid.
Then IDK. maybe its a bug, or something. I cant even get the 1.8 pre 2 to work on my computer in the client alone. gets stuck in the loading page. Ive done everything as im supposed to... so idk

Maybe you need to remove your head from your ass.

ok, so then maybe youre special or something, because I did exactly that as well.... and guess what?!? It doesn't work. Maybe its your Java version, maybe its that youre super lucky. But I downloaded the .Jar file. copied it over into the .minecraft/bin folder. Removed the OLD minecraft.jar file. and then ran the game as i normally would.. and it froze up on the updating page... and yes, i even let it sit there for a few minutes to see if it would work its way through it. NOPE. So... Any ideas?

yes, yes. But do you know why its not working for some folks on windows 7 even after its been made a jar file, and replaced the old 1.8 jar file?

I dont use mods though. Any ideas there? Ill go redownload everything though just for the sake of trying.
