Thing is gonna look hilarious on a bat. or a wither. hell, it'd prolly look hilarious on top of anything... and looks like a good "turret" mob for the top of a stack. Just plzzzz don't have it die on dry land...
I played around with colored trees, I think these colors are best for my needs, also can you make trees with Build Commands a little higher and bigger than these?
idea: skeleton with water breathing for infinite time, riding that quillfish-used-hyper-beam water mob.
Unfortunately you'd have to be a bit sneaky with that stacking, as skeletons pop off of things they're stacked on when they're underwater. I got around this in Storm the Castles by throwing the skellies into minecarts and then plopping the minecarts on the squids. They worked fine without the minecarts until like 1.6 got released, I assume it had some new mob stacking code for horses that made underwater stacks an issue. The minecarts are a bit lame though, cause they can get shot off their "mount" if you or they shoot the minecart. And the minecart items get messy on the floor.
EDIT: I've spent 5 minutes with the snapshot and can already tell I'm gonna love these things.
mob is called guardian
it doesn't die above water
it locks onto you with a beam, then does a lot of damage if the beam is left undisturbed for a few seconds (3.5 hearts to an unarmored player)
Withers aggro the hell out of it like an angry woman so there goes that concept... Although it appears they don't fight back against Withers. not on dry land at least...
Guardians have an "elder" setting that makes em giant, light brown, and presumably harder with more attacks. He shot me with a ghost of himself while I was in creative mode and gave me Mining Fatigue III for like 5 minutes. They appear to be immune to poison, have the thorns enchantment effect, and spawn via spawner through light in air OR water. They can't spawn inside blocks though, which is a relief.
They flop around when on land but take no damage. They also don't take fire damage (could be used for "lava-shark" type mob)
aaand here's this I guess.

Dont throw potions
Srry for the size but they corrupt your world.
Im stilll looking for the dungeon. The mobs look cool, they drop ingrediets to craft the new blocks it seems. The laterns look really nice (yay white lighting). I also like the sponge, anyone knows how to turn wet spponge into dry sponge? You can get wet sponge from the big guardians.

There is a new enchantment!
It's called Depth Strider! Testing what it does...
EDIT----
OMG IT MAKES YOU GO FAST UNDERWATER
I KNOW RIGHT FINALLY
With one instance of Depth Strider III on your armor you go just as fast as if you were walking/sprinting on ground. and yes, you can SPRINT SWIM ERMAGERD
The only problem with the new mob is that he doesn't shoot underwater. Meeeeeh.
BUT... underwater he's a boss. He does a ton of damage and he locks in. Ermagerd.
The Elder guy does a super creepy animation and gives you Mining Fatigue 3 for about 5 minutes. Not cool.
The only thing you can find in the temple is a core with 4 gold blocks inside, so that's going to be huge for UHC. High Risk high reward.
Holy ******
The new mob is perfect.
The new dirt is perfect for CTMs(fits in with so many other blocks)
The new dungeon blocks are awesome, will make for so many new areas and block combos.
The new enchantment is so useful. So. Useful.
The new lantern is great if you don't want the damn flowstone or torch.
The new sponge is still meh.
1.8 you are amazing.
I know my map is already in open beta but you better believe some of this new snapshot stuff will make it into the full release! My to-do list is growing like a weed again.

Also new mob looks cute and I'll have to use him.

I just used NBT Edit and replaced the "elder" option 0 with a 1... I assume in-game they're just a rarer spawn than the normal one.
I believe I can flyyyy...

What type of potions? Have not been able to reproduce.
Your lava texture is old, dawg.
Wow, I couldn't even tell. Your English is great.
Where'd you find that old lava texture? I always thought it was hard coded. Is it animated? Can I have it? Please?
On topic: area looks nice, I like the stalgmatites.
So I made a neat little cavern out of it and sea lanterns, It looks pretty good.
also...
