It looks great as a flat surface, but I'm curious what it looks like on moving water

I got sucked down a huge Minecraft hole today. I played for like 5 hours and now I'm feeling sad and unfulfilled.
I'm in the process of making a pretty sweet underwater glass home base with nothing but a tree growing up out of it though. I want to put a bed on top of the tree, and then just have a boat next to it.

Wheeee, finally got some diamonds after mining for what felt like hours (which it probably was). Now I have a field of obsidian to collect.
Watching the video. Oh my sweet jesus. The lighting effects. The particles. The towns. Fucking holy shit awesome. I WANT IT NOWWWWWW!!! I hope it doesn't require a really powerful computer for this stuff.
I'm only like 5 minutes into the video.
Also, re: the above picture. I'd love water reflections. That would rock.

It's terrible quality. I would have hoped Notch would have set up a recording program on the computer so we could see it full quality, but oh well.
Mine shafts? Randomly generated mineshafts complete with tracks and support beams? Goddamn, 1.8 will have everything! Still watching...

Anyways, made some progress on my SSP World... landscaped that new building I made the other night, added a watchtower, and built a connecting hall. For those unaware continued from these posts: 1, 2, 3, 4
Front of Residential Quarter and connecting hallway.
View from bridge and view from the watchtower.
Fine... I'll join the cool party

haha, I almost never mess with any kind of mods out of pure laziness and because of the unpredictability of mods, but that one was so easy to install that I had no excuse but to try it out.Houston3000 said:Haha, damn you guys are fast.

Has anybody had any problems with Minecraft and the Nvidia 280 drivers?
Here's a list on Twitter I put together: http://twitter.com/#!/eisnerguy1/minecraft. It has all of Mojang's developers who are on Twitter.
IGN's 1.8 Preview
Some new details:
- Spiders can poison
- Silverfish come out of blocks you break with your pickaxe
- NPCs hand out quests

I've been a critic of MC's slow development but 1.8 sounds great. Just what this game needed!

What I've been working on recently, some WIP pics.
At some point in the past Aliens visited my Vikings and left this temple behind when they left.
It goes down a long way, a few blocks above bedrock.
Looking down from the top.
Looking up
Not really sure yet what I am going ot do with the bottom level, some sort of garden/grove thing I think.

So if a particularly attractive fellow wanted to build a GIANT TREE, what would the best way to go about it be?

Ok, and what about the foliage?raphier said:
Jtwo said:
Here is the huge tree on the server, to look at and see how its made
The trick to foliage is hiding small blocks of wood in the leaves. Leaf blocks (Gathered by using shears) must be placed within 4 blocks of a wood block to survive, otherwise they disappear.
Would interesting to see a huge tree of the other varieties. If you would like some sapling for trees to build a forest you can harvest let me know, I have stacks of normal and white tree, and some of the winter tree's.

Hah! And people thought I was crazy when I built my wheat harvester!

It uses tectonics, its the NeoCraft server

Its just like Google Maps, lots of images at different resolutions knitted together.
Al Menia(sp?) the desert city, is the closet Warp point I think, or I can come on Minecraft if your on now and teleport you there cos I'm near it.

I got this game at around 1.3. I thought it was very good but saw an almost unlimited amount of potential in it. And while mods help a lot, no potential is as good as that reached in the main, shipped game developed only by Notch and his team. 1.8 fulfills part of that potential. NPC cities with quests are great. Food playing a bigger role, along with more and more food items, is a very welcome addition to the base game, although it existed in mod already. Even in peaceful difficulty it'll play be a part of it now. Tweaks and additions to the biomes are great. Add the water shader mod and the game is now much more beautiful than in 1.3. Bow changes are great. I like bows. The new enemies are great if you like survival.
What I hope to see in 1.8:
- NPC villages that vary in size. I hope I find some big villages, along with some lonely farms. They'll be randomly generated, but I hope Notch adds some vriables to how they're generated.
- Stores? Stores where you can trade items for other items. I did this in my friends only 1.3 server. I created a currency, and all the items you didn't need you could sell for gold, and with gold buy items. Of course that rare items were extremely expensive and you had to sell a lot of your stuff to buy them, while others were very cheap. But I'm not sure abut creating a currency in single player.
- NPCs that wander around digging, exploring, not just in the villages themselves.
Edit: I haven't played since 1.3, I made the correct choice I believe.

Not for me anymore. Now it just freezes at the "Logging in" part and on my server's Terminal it says "took too long to log in". Trying to go to minecraft.net just gets stuck too. I assume PAX did something to it. Maybe they're getting so many new purchases because of 1.8 coming out. Or.... did 1.8 come out and we don't know it???

Definitely not 1.8 =P Since the server is down I can't lookup where it is, one theory is its in America and being hit by Hurricane Irene, but I think the sever is probably in Europe. I don't think its the site getting pounded either, would of happened when they had the 'two for one' on the game.
Probably a random incident where the sever is located, which i hope they fix soon =[

Will the 1.8 changes affect all of my single player stuff and my private multiplayer server? I really don't want to have to deal with a hunger meter or anything in either of those, but anywhere else would be fine.
If you don't update your client or your private server then you won't have any problemsProfessor Beef said:
If you do you 1.8 you will need a new map to create the new/better/bigger biomes. If you stay with a 1.7 map then it will use the same 1.7 land generator
There will be mods to take out stuff you don't like probably so you can tweak it as you like.
EDIT:
ITS BACK ONLINE!!!!
Probably posted but video of 1.8 in action here in far better quality!
