Well, if you fall from Infernal Heights, you get in the Void and thus die. When you fall in Canopy Carnage, you fall out of a 60+ high tree, thus die.

Unless you jump into the water like I did and end up underneath the trees with way too many mobs :<

I got this horribly glitched map with some sort of biome generator mod that ended up generating a massive floating continent above my character. The unfortunate downside was that I was spawned in complete darkness, surrounded by mobs. The only way I managed to get out was by finding a natural forest fire which helped me make the equipment I needed, and then I climbed up a waterfall I found pouring down from the underside of the floating continent. It was quite epic.

I finally cleared the Sea of Flames map :D

I gave up on that when I thought I had cleared the entire underground dungeon only to find that I had missed 2 types of wool. I didn't really feel like going back and double checking every single corner. Getting all of the underground fully lit up was accomplishment enough for me. I started the Legendary one (I think that's the name) and it appears to be a lot more straight-forward, so you're a lot less likely to miss a color or two. It's hella hard, though.

been playing a LOT on Lord of the Craft. It's a really cool and really popular rp server. Also very large. Oh, and did I mention that I'm a leader for one of the races? Yup, Sage Candle they call me! Master Architect and Historian of the Ascended.

The bad news?
The update will be split up into two parts again, I believe NPC's and stronghold objectives (?) are not included in the 1.8 update, there might be more that won't be added until 1.9

what
ffffffffffffffffff aaaaaforifwoefkowemowefmk that REALLY fucks up a LOT of my HBG MC Server plaaaannssssss

Mojang's new guess on a release date for 1.8 is now the 12th of September...
I'm getting ready for more delays next monday :p

So, 1.8 was officially leaked. And by officially leaked, I mean one of the insiders leaked it, and notch gave his official approval two hours later. If you want download links, here they are:

Client
Server

Now, it isn't fully released, so there will prolly be changes. On top of that, the server obviously is not yet supported by bukkit or any mods, so it's pretty much install for vanilla play for now.

To get the client working, replace the jar file in your user data directory (.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar) with the new one. I had to laugh at theory, because he's been wanting a completely, 100% legit golden apple since he found out they could spawn in dungeons, and he finally got one. On a completely temp server. One that will be deleted as soon as 1.8 is official. Meaning it's totally wasted and pointless.

I can't run Minecraft, I can play for about 5 minutes, then it crashes and says it's out of memory. :L

Meh, I think I'll just wait for the full release, it's pretty useless to download an incomplete version when the full version comes out next week.

As best I can tell, it IS complete. It even has a few unannounced features. For example, biome colors have been updated, and silverfish spawn out of occasional stone blocks (with ID 97 instead of 1). However, one thing that was promised and not delivered was spike blocks.

you need to turn draw distance down. and/or do this fix in java

tried out the leaked minecraft update, found this:

IMHO "wild grass" is just an eyesore. At least it is with the default textures.

oh, hunger now? hm. interesting ...

(i wonder where the armor stat goes now?)

You guys should check out this general game play to show some of the new features of 1.8.

huh. what's a lot more interesting is if you click on their "strongholds & giant mushrooms" video afterward :3

Yay, 1.8's out!
Best thing so far is the fact that we can finnaly save server information!
I'm gonna go find me a nice new world to live in now .. .
