Minecraft 1.8 Patch Notes

The Minecraft 1.8 Patch Notes so far have been revealed. Awesome list and some interesting changes!!




Here are the main highlights of the 1.8 update:
  • Endermen are rare (YAY!) and die in water.
  • Zombies now drop rotten flesh (Not feathers)
  • All the tame mobs will drop meat except sheep and once killed will not respawn in that area.
  • XP will be used for levelling up. You get XP from killing mobs and lose it when you die.
  • Food is stackable but eating now takes time and has an animation.
  • Larger, and new biomes.
  • Added watermelons and made them (and pumpkins) farmable
  • Added towns, they might have NPCs (Jeb wants them to talk, Notch doesn't)
  • Strongholds near villages.
  • Added brightness slider, the deeper down you go the darker it gets. Torches held in your hand may emit light now.
  • New lighting system, much faster. Improved chunk generation speeds.
  • Exploring will be more rewarding.
  • Double-tap W to sprint/run.
  • Combat has been revamped, it is more rewarding.
  • Added an animation to bows.
  • Added a creative mode in which you can fly and spawn items.
