Wait, what is this image? I haven't been keeping up. Is it a mod? Is it a 1.8 preview?

Interesting point, I hadn't even noticed that it was gone. Honestly, I never even wear armor, I'd rather die than waste the iron bars, lol. Maybe he is removing durability loss from armor? I'd actually wear armor if that was the case...

The other bar must be some kind of endurance bar, probably factoring in things like sprint and swimming?

I had a whole long post typed byt my phone messed up and deleted it. 
Here's the gist.
1. Food bar should only be on "Realistic Difficulty" as per notch.
2. Really want tall maps, but only if high floating structures stop casting shadow.
3. Anything above a certain height should get snowcapped.
4. Notch should remove armor bar and make it so armor gives your hearts grey outlines to represent it. Cant take damage on the hearts until the armor is gone.

It looks like the armor bar is actually below the health and food bar... maybe.
I bought this game back during the Alpha but I never play it because it runs so terribly on my 2007 MacBook :/ Seriously, I have pretty much EVERYTHING on low settings (including render distance, which makes it a lot less fun...) and my computer STILL struggles. The game just isn't enjoyable at that point.

Anyways, I will take anything that he updates. I'm a fucking whore for Minecraft
Don't worry, there will be a mod within days after 1.8 hits that puts an option right into the world creation interface to adjust the height level. I'm sure the reason why Notch isn't putting it there himself is because of the performance hit larger worlds brings. I'll be curious to see just how bad the hit is.
And if it isn't too bad then my single player world will be going bye bye for a new taller world. In a New York minute!

I hope he will simply create some "advanced options" tab or something and leave people to try whatever they want with the new options. At least the mods will be better after that update and always compatible so that's a major plus that MIGHT not make play completely vanilla.

I hope we get a cauldron or something along with those food items, like seen in Better Than Wolves.
I want to cook multiple porks without wasting mah fuel!

LA being an inspiration for this update is kind of strange.
But then when you think about it, not so much:
The givens:
- island structure
- dungeons
- creative monsters
Others:
- dungeons being more like Zelda...Notch has said end-game type scenarios he's looked at were like "get 8 crystals" or something similar. Maybe you have to find the dungeons and get the item from inside this massive, massive dungeon and put them together and the main villain arrives
- small villages with a few key landmarks
- music brings animals to you - hey I can dream can't I!?

That's a fairly higher rez chicken than most icons in MC.
Also, anyone think I could pull this off in Al-Medina: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bencito_traveller/4749152664/sizes/l/in/photostream/
I know it's more Indian than Arabian, but it matches.

Brings new meaning to the term "meat shield"
C418's new album, 72 Minutes of Fame has been released. It's very good, although I've only listened to a few of the tracks. Digital album is $6.99, physical copy preorder (comes with digital download) is $9.99, and a signed physical copy preorder (also comes with digital download) is $14.99.

Pretty 100% sure it will be a "no".
Anything that ever updated couldn't appear in already generated chunks (except objects that are spawning of course, like mobs). Most probably that your only way to get the new height in your seed would be to delete you would like to be regenerated after that with the new version.
bengraven said:
That's precisely what I think would happen. A chunk in your world that has never generated before absolutely does generate according the new parameters of an update, be it from an old seed or not. I was just saying that the chunks that are already generated before the update won't change. (the sky would still change height most probably.)
I still think Sky Land should be a world above the normal world, and the Nether should be a world below the normal world, all connected seamlessly so you could technically build a tower from the bottom of Hell to the highest floating island in the sky. All they'd need to do is figure out how to do vertical Chunks (So higher and lower chunks unload and load the same way normal horizontal ones do) and get rid of the outdated concept of using Hell for Fast Travel. Instead make it so you build either Hell Portals (Purple) or Sky Portals (Green) that will teleport you to the closest place in the other dimension.
Then if you make a Hell portal in the Sky, you will go to Hell. Or you make a Sky portal in Hell and go to the Sky, or just return to Earth by making a Sky portal in the Sky or Hell portal in Hell.
Know what I mean? It would be so much cooler in the long run because it'd be more realistic. Instead of having bedrock at the bottom of the normal world, you would begin to run into Netherrack and would eventually dig yourself into the Nether. (NEVER DIG STRAIGHT DOWN!)
If they used my Vertical Chunk method, they could implement it fine with no added slowdown really. As it would only load chunks surrounding the player(s) both horizontally and vertically in all three dimensions instead of just two. (X, Y and Z instead of just X and Z.) The Nether would take up the values -128 to 0 instead. Earth would be 0 to whatever they decide for 1.8 and the Sky realm would be another 128 on top of that. But it would be seamless enough to not matter as a tower could be built all the way up through both "barriers" which wouldn't really exist as it would no longer be separate dimensions that needed to be loaded and unloaded rather all one dimension with chunks stacking in all three directions.
Of course it would require a brand new world to work, but FUCKING HELL it would be amazing.

I thought Notch wanted to avoid religious connotations. Why not turn the Nether into another planet or dimension?

I think i recal reading that vertical chunks are a problem because you can fall faster than they load. So if you jumped off your sky tower, your nether chunkunder it might not load in time and you'd fall through.
Also, if clouds annoy you, download the mod Optifog. It not only will make you game run much, much better, but allows you to adjust cloud height.

Interesting. Jeb also tweeted that they have not removed the glass block, so this is a new type of glass block in addition to the old one. I like that.
What I don't like is the damn white lines through the glass. STILL. I wish to God they would get rid of or at least minimize them someway, I hate the look of the default glass texture. SO MUCH.
I bet it was a real pane to code this in though...

So its like a Window Block? Thats cool. Hopefully you can make the window block and glass block have different textures.
Also gives me hope that more decorative options are coming. Like furniture and stuff to fill houses with.

I went looking for sugar cane and got completely lost after night time hit, now I'm totally disorientated and out of torches as I was leaving a trail - is there any way to find your way back to anywhere near 'home'? - I have an inventory full of goodies so I don't want to respawn D:
Incidently, I think I originally spawned in a really boring place, because I've found some amazing cliffs and valleys and even a few small floating islands. And I really wish it would stop raining

Try and build a compass?
