i agree i will be gutted if i have to make a new world for my server and move my base into it just to get a jungle. especially since i think doing that will ruin my base since it is interconnected with the tunnel system under my base which i still want to be able to explore and im going to assume that underground tunnels are hard to move into a new world since they are below the surface? correct me if im wrong though. either way i really like my current world but it would be better with a jungle in it rather than me having to be in an entirely new world altogether just to experience a jungle. but yeah like you said theyve done stuff like this before so i will be surprised and a little disappointed if they dont make them able to appear in 1.1 worlds once the official update comes out

HES NOT GONNA UPDATE IF YOU GOD DAMN KEEP WHINING. For all we know, its finished. It probaly is, but you have such loud mouths that you can't have any patience. Now shutup, asses

You do realise that this is as useless a contribution to the thread as whining about it not being updated. In fact you are whining about whiners which is full of lolz and irony. Possibly instead of increasing your post count with pointless comments you could help answer some of the questions being asked about the mod? As of late I've seen more people complaining about complainers and asking actual questions that need useful answers than I have seen complainers. That's not to say that there aren't thousands of comments about the new version not being finished because they are but hopefully you get my point.
Anywhos man void fog is annoying. I hope the new version allows you to disable it. If not oh well the FPS increase wil make up for. Optifine FTW!

Will the new version remove the void fog? that **** is really annoying for underground tunnels and bases. or at the very least do you think it will be compatible with mods that do remove the void fog?

i like these magic wand ideas but i think if it was made with the ender pearl it should be like a teleportation wand? so like you can get to hard to reach places or like build places with no physically accessible entrance that youve got to teleport into. that being said it could just be cool if you could use it to open up portals so you could have a portal that just teleports you somewhere you choose. (like in portal, left click one portal right click for the other). or maybe it just teleports you home/the nearest npc village? kinda like the sanctuary scrolls from morrowind? i think thats what they were called haha.

Hideous suggestion.

If your going to suggest a complete change of OS may as well just get OS 10.6 for mac since it only costs like 30 bucks instead of spending a bunch to get a decent pc.

OP: good idea man this will help heaps of people out. Saw quite a few on the forum who were having the openGL problem when I was trying to find the solution myself. I just updated to Snow leopard though since I wanted to at some point anyway but its good to know that there are alternatives for others who dont have any coin or means to obtain snow leopard.

Sounds like you have the same macbook as me bro. I had this problem and after doing heaps of searching I discovered that you need to update to Snow Leopard at least. This is because minecraft now uses opengl 1.3 and the macbook graphics card will only support 1.2 if you are running leopard but if you update to snow leopard the card will support opengl 2.0 if you have the GMA X3100 or opengl 1.4 if you have the GMA 950. I just upgraded to snow leopard today and now i can play 1.8. this is the solution and unfortunately there is no other one.

haha well you know what they say about great minds

yeah bro check this osx opengl compatability chart. it shows everything you need to know. you can change which os it is displaying the info for on the page easily

Oh ****, it appears that I need a new version of mac to run minecraft :sad.gif:. But this doesn't explain how my friend who runs 10.4.11 can play. Maybe his macbook pro has a better graphics card...

Yeah bro it will be because he has a good graphics card that already supports a decent opengl version.

@EHS_Shaman you only need snow leopard bro not lion i was just saying that lion adds further opengl support than snow leopard

@omega1337 You only need 1.3 not 3.0 bro
haha just noticed i was replying to you anyways *facepalm*

I'm having this problem too but I have the solution for all of you! Unfortunately it might be bad news for some. Ok so the latest update of minecraft requires graphics cards which support opengl 1.3 and if you have and intergrated mac card eg the GMA X3100 like me or the GMA 950 you only have opengl support up to 1.2 which is bogus because both cards support 1.4 on pcs and in the case of the X3100 it supports up to 2.1. Here is the solution - Snow Leopard (10.6) and Lion (10.7) have increased opengl support so if you update to either it will increase your opengl support to at least 1.4 meaning you will be able to play minecraft again!
Also dont be fooled by my low post count I am not trying to mess anyone around I just want to play 1.8 like all of yall!

@GuitarWarrior7 you might have the same problem as me. Check page 15 for more details.

just rename the file bro.
looks like my graphics card (GMA X3100) doesnt support opengl past version 1.2 unless you have upgraded to snow leopard in which case it adds support for opengl 1.4 from what i just read. hope this helps out some other confused people. i am going to upgrade to snow leopard now me thinks unless there is an app i can get for more opengl support.

Thanks Traybair. Ill look into that to see if there is something i can do. pretty sure my macbook has a really crappy graphics card so perhaps i will never play 1.8? that would suck.

I dont know where abouts I am supposed to say this since everyone else with this problem hasnt been helped yet either but im running Mac OS 10.5.8 and i can get 1.8PR to go into the menu but when i create a new world (i am not trying to load a pre-1.8 world because i know that doesnt work) it will go through all the loading screens but when its about to actually go into the world so i can play i just get a black screen and then an error report flashes but it is so quick you dont get the chance to read it. If anyone has an solution or knows where i should go and repost this to get some help please let me know since this is rather confusing. thanks.
