<- 1.7 thread | 1.9 thread ->
So with the recent arrival of 1.7, I felt it appropriate to add a 1.8 thread for when info begins to roll in.

So I noticed that most mods had not updated for an unknown reason, then on one of my mainly used mods it listed why, forge is taking a long time to update because the changes in minecraft's code, but why is the code changed? It is changed in preparation for Mod Api, which very will might mean 1.8 may be the mod api update, quite a good way to ring in the tenth update since the original adventure update.

I hope so, because as it stands right now, I'm running barebones minecraft + BMP/liteloader because I forgot how I managed to cobble together my mods in 1.6.2. It didn't help that there wasn't a really comprehensive tutorial for their new system. I hope the mod api thing makes it as easy as they say it will and I hope they don't put it off again, this is an update that everybody's kinda waiting for. Of course, the lessened features available is a bit of a downside for the mods that don't alter .jar or json, if I remember reading that correctly.

I feel a lot of the features of the API update will be in the launcher.  Currently, you can view the version properties in read-only mode.  I'm hoping that they'll enable us to edit it and add advanced features.

I am loving what I am reading for 1.8.

No it was not changed for Mod API. According to a friend, there is over 10,000 lines completely re-written, and while there were dozens of lines added. So with that, I can understand no mods to come out for a good long while.

 

Though I'd like if they'd hurry up with updates to the game, and launcher to smooth out the memory leaks. If they did that, Oracle makes a more secure Java Update, and the makers of LWJGL makes 3.0, then everything will be awesome, and mods like Optifine would be dead, unless you have a 1990's computer trying ro run Minecraft.

Here's Sethbling's look at the snapshot:



I guess not losing progress made during a smelt after running out of fuel is kinda cool, but there's still the issue of players wasting fuel (using a piece of coal to smelt a single ingot) as well as removing finished items to make way for more (getting out finished ingots in order to cook some porkchops in the middle of a piece of coal burning, which always requires at least a sapling or stick).

As for needing lapis to enchant . . . well, if only they had made that change back when I was on a survival server with an economy plugin. I always bought lapis off of people who didn't want it, usually ending up with chests full of the stuff. I could have TOTALLY been in control of the market then xD Anyway, Lapis is pretty stinkin' rare. I hope they up the amount generated in the world by like 25-50%.

Enchantment mechanics are certainly different. I can't tell if they're for the better or worse though. We'll just have to see how it plays out on survival servers.

BOUT FRIGGIN TIME DOORS STACKED FFS. And they're cheaper too! Now if only they could make the recipe for stairs give you 8 instead of 4 . . .

Slime blocks are awesome as hell.

The Adventure mode changes are VERY welcome. Map makers have been needing more control over what players can break, and being able to target specific entities with @e is just incredible.

Being able to lock chests with commands is pretty awesome too. I would love it if they could do that with doors as well. Map makers could then use command magic to where holding specific items in your hand while attempting to open a door or chest would unlock said door or chest and allow you to pass through.

For name changes, i think they should code it so that you have an original name(What was used to create it) but if you change it you have your old name as an original but you also have a visible name(What people see) and if either are banned then your banned from a server, that way it is no change for admins on servers

I think the best thing they could do is to use a system similar to Steam.  You'll have a number associated with your account.  When on a server, your current name will be an alias for all commands.

 

A new banning system/list will probably arise from this.  Old ones would be converted.

It features a primitive WorldEdit (/fill, /clone):

The new skins are in this format, but not much has actually changed.

SnDKuc1.png

 

The area for the arms are now used for the right arm.  The legs area becomes the right leg.  Body and head things stay where they are.  Now, there's no more room for anything else, so the file height has been doubled.  Directly below the body and right arm and leg is like the hat area on the head. I'll call it the coat.  It will appear above the model. Below that is your left leg, arm, and coat for those.

 

This leaves us with not much room, but there's still the same amount of empty space in the upper half of the skin.  The horn, wings, belly, and etc will still fit right where they were.

Here's Sethbling's review of the latest snapshot:



In regards to the name-changing, it looks like they're going to implement a unique player ID system. So, as Shakespeare put it:

What's in a name? that which we call xXxXx360n05c0p3pr0xXxXx
By any other name would be as banned;


But on to more important things, like the skins. So it seems that we not only can make asymmetrical skins but also have an outer layer for all body parts, not just the head. This gives skin-makers so many more options! I'm curious what our MineLittlePony developer has in store in regards to how the mod will utilize this new skinning format.

Also, 5000 block limit on fill? That's only just over the size of a 17x17x17 cube of blocks. That's pretty friggin' small!

Sethbling's coverage of 14w04a:



Some things he didn't cover:

Iron Golems and Zombie Pigmen once again drop iron ingots and gold nuggets respectively (didn't know they stoppped . . . ?)

Dead Bushes and Saplings are now flammable.

Skins are now loaded to the actual server you're playing on, so hopefully less issues with skins not showing.

Something about server-altered skins/capes not being possible anymore.

Also, 14w04b is just bug fixes.

In the previous snapshot, Jeb changed it so they would only drop these things when killed by hand, in order to deliberately break iron/gold farms. People complained, so they've been changed back again, and Mojang is looking to discourage these farms in other ways.

With access to the proper texture pack, mcpatcher and Worldedit or similar, one could easily build using these materials so that they will survive the update.  The new blocks just use unused data values of id 1.

Here's the wiki link:

Pretty much everything is awesome:

Spectator mode:
-- flying and noclip
-- invisible to all but other spectators
-- cannot interact with blocks or entities
-- is able to view inventories without changing them

Barrier blocks:
-- invisible
-- indestructable
-- exclusive to creative mode

Books:
-- three levels:
---- original
---- copy of original
---- copy of copy
-- copy of copy cannot be copied

Powered activator rails now automatically disembark entities (mobs and players) from minecarts.

Debug screen is cleaned-up:
-- text has translucent background to make reading easier
-- everything is simplified for the common player

Actually, one could likely create a resource pack and change the model of some block to a sphere or cylinder.  As soon as I can, I'm making cake circular.

ok, so I tried to see if it was possible... sadly its not :(
only existing files can be changed, and Melon is not on the list D:
(I hope they add the ability to change all blocks)
EDIT
Melon, among other blocks, uses the "cube.json" moddle... so if you change that... CRASH!!!
EPIC LAG AND CRASH!

Not without increasing the resolution.  I already had to modify the texture to make it round.  If you want to give it a try, I'll send you the resource pack of it.

the format says roughly the same... so, yes they would have to update it... but it wouldn't be that bad

Smart modders (pluggers?) would have started using the new names once they became available a while back. If it takes them forever to update because of that, it's their own fault.

The way I see it, the Plugin API is not the same as the Modding API.  In fact, there will be no API for modding.  Modding will always be the same, as it requires actual modification of the game.  If you're familiar with Bukkit plugins, you'll know that they aren't really mods.  Mods that add blocks or GUI elements will be able to work in the plugin environment.  Other mods, such as Optifine, will never work as a plugin and will still require traditional modding.

 

In the future, there may come a time where the entire game is a plugin.  Future updates will likely be in the form of plugins.

you cant be certain of this... the rewiring of code that they have done could make Optifine a plugin... I am sure the plugin API will be nothing like bukkit (as in 1000x more powerful)

Mojang will be switching to a UUID format to allow people to change their names.  However, this will break many plugins and mods.

 

Source: http://forums.bukkit...reakage.250915/

 

Personally, I think that while the entire idea sounds good on paper, it would be a nightmare if put into action, vanilla or modded.

I would assume there would be a compatibility layer so it doesn't break bans or white lists.  1.7.6 will have it deprecated.  1.8 will have it removed entirely.

that's the question about this UUID thing: what happens to bans and whitelists on vanilla servers (along with name-related plugins and mods)?

 

Anyway, to answer your question, Killjoy, I have no idea how they are going to do bans and whitelists with the UUID function.

 

To be honest, while I loved the fact that you can change your name with the new function, I didn't like the change to a probable time-consuming system (e.g. bring up browser, find player, find UUID code, ban/whitelist player) from the start.

I have a feeling they're going to handle it similar to other platforms where you have one account name and the ability to change your display name (IE a migrated account would use your email)

I did read something about this UUID thing going live when 1.8 comes out; until then, we will just have to wait and see if they can make a quick and easy way to access the codes without going online and pouring hours into searching for them.

ok, here is how they said its going to work...
when you run your server in a certain version of MC, the ban list and other Vanilla MC files that contain players will be converted to UUIDs
then, you can ban player with their username still, because it automatically converts the name into the corresponding UUID... make sense?
please read all their tweets next time before you automatically complain about some feature which will actually be nice and helpful when its implemented.

Useful is defined as "able to be used in several ways." The only thing sneaking does is keep you from falling off cliffs and it makes you move slowly.

On the topic of name changes, I think it might be a pain at first, because there will always be that annoying kid that p*sses everyone off, and then goes and changes his name, and you wouldn't realize it's him. Also, it would get annoying to have to tell all of your friends who you are each time. Then again, any half mature person wouldn't change their display name very often.

from what I hear, there will be an amount of time one must wait to change their ingame name... also, I will be changing my username form Gary_S_Modd to Astrorious because I was not a brony when I came up with my username... and I want to be pony
