Wow, I guess the news hasn't reached CP yet. MC 1.8 (the famous adventure update part 1) has been leaked. It'll be officially released monday, but they (un)deliberately made a test version of it download-able on their website. Captain Sparklez provided this link: http://bit.ly/rj1FMk (http://bit.ly/rj1FMk), promising it would'nt contain a virus. I haven't check THAT link (I used the official download on MC.net, but I can't remember the URL), but it's Captain Sparklez, so it'll probably be ok.
P.S. I'm sorry if there's a thread about this already. I probably overlooked it.

I got it on friday when Mojang started to host it on their website, It's quite buggy at the moment through.
Mojang pre-released it for testing.
So far I have only seen 1 new biome and just about all the items (TMI got patched for the pre-release).
Haven't seen any of the new mobs (also watch out for the stone block without a name(it breaks easily with your hand), it releases silverfish but I currently haven't found any).

I've been exploring in Creative: the ravines and mineshafts are absolutely awesome, although the shafts may sometimes be glitchy for they have no roof, ceiling nor walls.

I do not understand the fuss about Minecraft. It's a sandbox game with no objective and horrendous 'hipster' graphics. The concept of the game isn't what gets me the most; it's the fandom. And this topic proves that point completely.
Using an example, Achron - a game being developed as the first meta-RTS game (that is, time traveling) - and comparing it to Minecraft, we can see the headache-inducing non-shutupiness of most Minecraft addicts, or as they affectionately call themselves, 'fans'. Achron Beta was released a couple of months ago, I didn't see any topic. A game with actual storyline, objective, graphics, NEW gameplay ideas and an innovative new genre being implemented gets boosted up a peg on its development, and nobody takes notice.
But Minecraft, the aforementioned recycled pointless sandbox waste of time, receives an update on its endless beta period and I've seen it posted all over the internet with people going raving mad over it. It baffles me.
And don't tell me it's because I've never played Minecraft, because I have. And I thought it was stupid, pointless drivel. The biggest waste of 3 hours I've ever had. To give you some perspective on that statement, I've read large portions of the Bible.
But that's just my opinion, you don't have to take note of it. I just thought I'd get it out there.

Actually the creator of TMI released a Pre-Release patch that works just fine. I've been using it without any issues.
@Pacman: I love minecraft. But I don't whore over it. Its a sandbox game. I don't really care for sandbox games and its really there for when I get bored. It can be fun and it really depends on what you're play style is.

@G_G :???: I never said I had any issues... :???:
Its just that I only seen one new biome.
@AngryPacman Minecraft is about Community and Freedom, comparing something that is supposed to be free and creative against a RTS makes no real sense (Also I have heard about Achron but never got a chance to play it due to them having no sort of demo that I can find).

It's funny, as the people who piss me off, are the ones saying MC is 'bad', not saying that they dislike MC XD.
But anyway, like G_G said, to fully enjoy MC, you have to be able to have fun doing things without assignments and missions. Not everybody likes that, just like not everybody likes FPS's (like me, buh, FPS's >:().
Still, I sometimes find myself trying to convince somebody MC really is fun. Well, I do that, if somebody is just saying MC is a 'waste of time'. I mean, come on. Every single videogame is a waste of time XD.

1.8 is officially out now. Just run the launcher and it should ask you to update. Assuming you're using the newer launcher and not the one before 1.3 releases.

I just found out that Minecraft 1.8 officially supports HD Texture packs. However, you will still need the HD Texture Patch if you use animated textures.
Official HD Patcher - Also acts as a mod installer/manager.

It is another part of the adventure update (1.10 will also be a part), There are quite a few new mobs but the great thing is the change to the nether.
This is practically the nether side of the adventure update. The new biomes are epic and the town folks are worth a look at. But yes they did add slightly to many mobs.

I don't see any Minecraft.jar file :o (from the download)
Altso, Congratz on your 5000th post!
EDIT: Is the download "only" supose to contain the Minecraft.jar file? Becous i downloaded like a hundred files and a lot of folders with textures in them ._.
EDIT2: I just read that in some cases the .jar becomes a .rar instead, i guess that's why i was so confused :^_^':

. Anyway, I think the egg that appears when the enderdragon is slayed (is that the correct form?) will hatch a new enderdragon, which you can ride in the overworld - this is pure speculation though. I also like the ending credits - they are even more confusing than Inception - and I do absolutely love the way they implemented the HeroBrine-hoax (waking up out of dreams).

Full Release, just update your MC. By the looks of it MineCon seems pretty disappointing. That pink girl asks if you're ready for the full release, Notch stands there for ages and pulls the lever and the whole Mojang teams walks away, dancing. God, am I happy I didn't buy tickets :P.
EDIT: So apparently that wasn't the only thing at minecon; the youtubers I'm subscribed to just were having fun instead of uploading stuff :P.
