OK, Notch has stated multiple times that 1.8 will be tested at PAX PRIME on August 28th (2 Days from now). He has also stated that after it is tested at PAX they will review feedback, fix ALL bugs, maybe polish it up a bit, and then and only then, release 1.8 to the public. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or post questions in the 1.8 Discussion Thread. Hope this clears things up!

Actually its being tested all three days at PAX. Just so ya know.
Totally agree. So many people asking 'WHEN 1.8 BE C0M1NG 0UT?1/!?1/1'. It soooooo annoying.
Yeah, but when you're playing a popular game like Minecraft, you're going to get the whiney impatient children who don't understand that it's a lot of work to make these updates and it's not like the coding takes 5 minutes and you're done.
Not according to the schedule.
Minecraft the first day, Cobalt the second day.
The only thing tested all days is the mobile version of Minecraft.
Or does it just state where the focus is that day?
thats just the focus. its being tested all 3 days.
Hehe I'm excited for 1.8 The waiting is killing me but I bet it will be worth it.
Though I do have a somewhat... interesting and lolzy solution for those who cant wait.. Why not just edit the game files to say version 1.8 and you can pretend all you like :biggrin.gif:

Coding isn't an easy bake oven.
Actually depends what you're coding :\
but thank god to the creator of this thread someone understands that it is not coming out this weekend.

Yea, I was just watching the live stream and 1.8 looked pretty good and i think that must have taken over a week total of coding and textures and during the live stream Jeb i think said that there is still no official realese date for 1.8

Now I understand why companies don't give estimated release dates. Even if they say they are just estimates people take them as the literal release date.
I hope they split the update up into 1.8,1.8.2,etc. so everybody is able to test it.
The fully 1.8 , i think ,is early september just like nearly everybody else said :biggrin.gif:
According to what he said on several occasions during his livestreams, he mentioned his might just release it piece by piece when said pieces are complete.
I hope the first pieces are the new "dungeons" like the mineshaft we saw and of course the new strongholds.

Good point, but I meant overall coding a whole update, like 1.8
I agree, it'll probably be released around early September, probably no later than your guess.

Not just trolls. The whole use of the word troll as stretched outside of its meaning.
