Board 8 > So minecraft 1.8 is out

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's cool and all, but now you have to eat, apparently.

I...really don't like that. At all. I don't know why he felt the need to change his phenomenally popular gameplay. I don't enjoy things that degrade over time, really can't stress that enough. Sure, it's realistic. Whatever. I'm done.

If you're one of those people who just plays it to build things, then just start playing in Creative mode instead

I'm tempted to update, But I'm in the middle of making a giant ass castle and don't want to lose the mods I need for it.

Plus whenever I update I have to get the custom painterly texture pack all over again which is a pain to go through.

Play on peaceful or use mods. Though eating really isn't a hassle fish for 30 minutes and you are good on food for 30 hours of game time.

I had heard that the update would be in two parts. Is the whole update out now or is there still more to come?

There's more to come in 1.9, like an actual purpose for the experience bar

There's a lot of it out, but there's still plenty to come. It's still a bigger update than most of the other ones.

i've watched some videos on 1.8 (yogscast >_>), and the eating bit seemed like it was about the most laid back eating requirement ever. plus, they were saying something about being effectively unkillable with full food. and food in minecraft is pretty easy to come by tbh...

so at the most, all the food requirement would mean is making a slot dedicated to food, something you would do anyway if expecting monsters.

that said, hunger in games IS the single most annoying requirement i can think of off the top of my head -_-

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Is the whole update out now or is there still more to come?

Some of the new features don't really do anything yet, and will be completed in 1.9, due at the end of the month. For example-
> You can earn EXP, but not spend it on anything
> There are randomly generated villages, but no NPCs
> "Strongholds" (dungeons) have no end bosses, and are currently limited to 3 per map. There'll be more of them, and strong mobs lying at the end, in 1.9

Actually, now that I hear the hunger requirement isn't that bad I might reconsider. The only reason I haven't played yet is because I didn't really want to play by myself or with a bunch of people I didn't know (I actually bought the game on impulse and played for like an hour, but that doesn't really count). Now my friend is thinking of setting-up a server and then I would probably pick it up.

I downloaded it yesterday but haven't tried it yet.

Now that I know eating is a requirement, I want to go back to 1.7.

One thing to know is that all animals as well as zombies drop forms of food now, not just pigs. So it's not nearly as bad as some of you may think.

And you've still got bread which is pretty easy to make and you can carry a big stack of the necessary materials to make it.

Oh ok, that's not so bad then.

I hated having to hunt down those damn, adorable pigs and slaughter them mercilessly.
