1.8 and how it will effect us

[DavidKkz]

So, I'm sure most of you know Minecraft version 1.8 will be coming out. What you may or may not know is that Granite, Andesite, and Diorite will now generate in stone terrain. Under the water will be Prismarine, Prismarine Bricks, Dark Prismarine, and Sea Lanturns. Course Dirt will be replacing grassless dirt found in Mega Taigas, Mesas, and Savanna biomes. Red Sandstone and Slime Blocks too. Among a bunch of other things, but the question is, will we have them?

Unless the map expands, are these types not available to us? Will we have a new wasteland? Can I run as fast as a bunny?
When will these questions be answered? Find out next time!

I'm kind of wondering what happens to current chestshop names too. I know Lapis, for whatever reason, is called blue dye or something. What will happen when Trapdoor is then called Wooden Trapdoor?

Also, I will want to buy and take home a kill rabbit. It will be my pet forever. 100s

I was wondering this the other day too, even made room for them in personal storage area x)

Well when the extra biomes came out last map in an update, there was an expansion of 500-1000 blocks on the main map. I think a 500 increase would be reasonable for new biomes/blocks

Like all the other releases, we expand for new content. You can expect at least a 500R increase. Chestshops may break, unsure.

Actually ( Incoming 1.8 Information ) the stone types can be crafted I beleive... also most of the new things are featuires and new crafting recipies

I'm pretty sure most of the new water blocks can be crafted with the new water mobs drops... right?

When they put in the FFA world it will probably have all the new biomes as well.. @Kainzo , I'm guessing you will expand both maps by 500+ for 1.8 correct ?

Yup! The shards and crystals craft into blocks

the adventure map was custom built I'm pretty sure

Err yes actually... They are crafted from the natural mob drop ( Which in old worlds actually spawn in oceans and stuff where the Water dungeon would have generated... ) so it is possible to craft :3

Adventure map and FFA are two different things~ FFA is the resource map that was supposed to go in but was postponed/cancelled

My favorite thing about 1.8... 3 new mobs! (Rabbits, Endermites, and Guardians )

Speaking as a minority of one, when the 1.8 content comes into Herocraft could we please NOT expand the main worlds? It always ends up looking like crap.

Instead, put the "new" terrain content only in a new world like FFA. That would keep the original PvP and PvE worlds looking not stupid, and would give more people a compelling reason to venture into the FFA world.

Hey, all of you players bemoaning the lack of PvP: what if the only way to get access to the new 1.8 blocks was to go to a world like FFA in which PvP is always enabled?
