nope ur wrong

Thanks for cueing the video to the relevant spot, I love it when people do that. Nothing that BebopVox said had anything to do with expanding an already extant 1.7 map to find 1.8 biomes, though. Historically, the situation that Shadow Bunnies described has always been the case, and we have not seen anything yet says otherwise.

Unfortunately, the NPC's will be in the second half of the Adventure Update, but the villages will be in already. Also, the all-feared Endermen shall die in contact with, believe it or not... water. No, not a block like Glowstone that gives off light, since it is basically a walking shadow, but H2O.

Haha, excellent. These guys drop materials and blocks right? Here's hoping they are rare ones, I'll gladly trade some water for some gold/iron/diamond.

$10 says their main spawn location will be deserts biomes like creepers, good luck finding water while being chased by endermen and creepers.

 

[Doreagarde]

I hope Notch pulls a fast one and makes water duplicate the Endermen instead of kill them. You know, like gremlins

500c says 1.8 will be shitty and glitchy, just saying >_> after an entire year and 1/4 I don't get excited for a patch. Patches are rather scary for Minecraft.

*Shoots player with bow*

*Player looses 100 fps instantly*

Or something odd like that.

RedKhan, I have absolutely no clue what they drop, unfortunately. I need to check the wiki, then the sources to see if it's true.

And Doreagarde, only one thing can be said to that; He would so do that eventually.

EDIT: Apparently they just take damage in contact with water, I am unsure how much damage is dealt in contact. And they temporarily drop 0-2 diamonds on death, however, this is a placeholder.

Also, in the mineshafts, Blue Spiders will spawn, and when they deal damage to you, your health bar turns yellow and you lose health due to their poison.

As for the Silverfish, they will at times pop out of mined blocks and attack you.

 

[RedKhan]

Blue spiders and silverfish sound like a pain. Don't suppose there is an antidote for their poison?

And I'm already groaning at how overpowered they will no doubt be in HC...

It will take a while for mods to catch up to 1.8. It may be a while before any mods get released for it once it is out there.

In my absence from Herocraft for a couple weeks, I will probably be messing with 1.8, figuring out what I dont know, when I do play Minecraft, that is. Next post will be new terrain, like the ruins, etc.,
