There's a Pre-Release Version of the adventure update available now!

It's quite buggy (and extremely laggy :D), but you can download it here

we haz already been playing on it :D

it is much epics :D

for me its not that laggy tbh

Much epics biomes, u meanz?

we're currently looking for a new spawn location... xD

Haven't found any NPC villages yet though, maybe they're just in the actual 1.8 release.

nope, ive found 2.

both in deserts funnily enough....


and found those huge minecart cave things :D

i walked around for 30 minutes, havent found anything interesting :/

just the swampy biome and a couple of weird looking mountains >.<

anyone found a ravine yet? want to see one of those :p

ive saw loads,
and villages,

and rivers :D



we cant find a mountain large enough to house our castle -,-

Don't put it on a mountain, there's no room for the castle village! :(

Also, those huge mountain ranges seem a bit overdone, and it's all still quite buggy.. (especially with the lighting and chunk loading) but those new river/wetlands/grass plains/rain forest/swamp biomes are awesome though! but STILL NO VILLAGES/RUINS!

I've also tried to log in again with 1.7.3, but it says an error with the code: 503 for logging in on minecraft.net/game/joinserver.jsp.. does this mean they're patching right now?

yeah,

minecraft.net is down, has been for hours.


we havent put the castle on a mountain, although theres a mountain range nearby.


also a lovely desert, and a swamp, and a river, and a pumpkin!

I didn't see any village or river yet, but except for that i can't complain :D

I was watching my cousin play it last night, he found rivers, ravines, village, abandoned mineshaft, lots of blue spiders, and I love the way the lighting works in 1.8

I killed an enderman with one hit of a stone pickaxe... they seem to be pretty weak o.O

found a ravine now, but nothing else, not even an enderman and i fought my way through 4 nights..... :(

anyone found a stronghold yet? they seem nice. :p

what's wrong with spawn location?

strongholds are within a 400 block radius of coords 0,0,0

the lightning is fucking epic,
and endermon are stupidly weak, although still scary. xD

endermon, i choose you!

*hits endermon with fist*

*endermon dies*

yes, i just made a pokemon reference.

oh dear.

we will once a dev build is out.
