Mr.Karizmatic Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Mojang has pushed Minecraft’s 1.8 update, known as the Bountiful Update, to the live launcher. The update has been in development for around 300 days, the longest amount of time for any major update to date, according to the developer. Version 1.8 adds a new underwater dungeon, new Blocks, such as Granite, Andesite, and Diorite stone blocks, armor stands, new mobs, and much more. “These changes consist of both new features, and large game structure changes such as replacing the hard-coded “block renderer” with a system that is able to read block shapes from data files, or performance enhancements such as multi-threading the client-side chunk rendering,” the developer wrote. “We hope you will enjoy it!” The patch notes can be found below: Added Granite, Andesite, and Diorite stone blocks, with smooth versions Added Slime Block Added Iron Trapdoor Added Prismarine and Sea Lantern blocks Added the Ocean Monument Added Red Sandstone Added Banners Added Armor Stands Added Coarse Dirt (dirt where grass won’t grow) Added Guardian mobs, with item drops Added Endermite mob Added Rabbits, with item drops Added Mutton and Cooked Mutton Villagers will harvest crops and plant new ones Mossy Cobblestone and Mossy Stone Bricks are now craftable Chiseled Stone Bricks are now craftable Doors and fences now come in all wood type variants Sponge block has regained its water-absorbing ability and becomes wet Added a spectator game mode (game mode 3) Added one new achievement Added “Customized” world type Added hidden “Debug Mode” world type Worlds can now have a world barrier Added @e target selector for Command Blocks Added /blockdata command Added /clone command Added /execute command Added /fill command Added /particle command Added /testforblocks command Added /title command Added /trigger command Added /worldborder command Added /stats command Containers can be locked in custom maps by using the “Lock” data tag Added logAdminCommands, showDeathMessages, reducedDebugInfo, sendCommandFeedback, and randomTickSpeed game rules Added three new statistics Player skins can now have double layers across the whole model, and left/right arms/legs can be edited independently Added a new player model with smaller arms, and a new player skin called Alex?
