Ok so the only reason the 1.5 update wasnt released this week was because Notch was playing Portal theres nothing wrong with that, but he did say that 1.5 should be released tomorrow so....if this actually happens well have to wait and see

Now we can be Happy, because in Beta 1.7, Pistons were added (I know that most of you know that, but you know, I'm just saying)

1.7 fails in epic proportions

^ lolwut? It seems awesome from what I've been playing

if you use pistons a lot like me you'd know why it fails. Even with the piston patch it isn't the same as the original mod.

Oh you are talking about how it doesn't throw sand and gravel? Yeah that is kinda a bummer, but there are still an infinite amount of things you can make with pistons!

i usually use pistons in my buildings such as: epic stairway, walkway lighting, secret doors, if i could see how the light detector works make a lighting system for one of my many houses, as you said the list goes on of what you can do; the only thing you need is your imagination and basic knowledge of redstone

1.8 seems to be one of the biggest updates that will be released, with Adventure Craft and supposedly mod support so that mods dont have to be reinstalled in after updating Minecraft so these are some exciting additions.

PS rumour of a new mob or two

1.8 is Notch coming true to his tweet, "time to copy terraria".

Does that mean that Minecraft will turn into 2D?

I hope not D:

new mob that attack after you look directly at it then look away they are called Enderman here is a description of the mob:here

_________________

I've just read what the new mob will do, and it'll ruin my playing experience....

The whole 1.8 update will ruin it, I'll not update it to 1.8...

Indeed, I'm with Xerox on this one...

Unless there's a feature to turn off particular mobs, I won't be updating anyway (As if I do... Still on 1.5_02 ).

The Enderman is a pathetic addition to minecraft, Im dissapointed about stories of Notch adding dragons and other awesome mobs to be only adding some lanky black guy that can hold sand...
