Today, they released Minecraft 1.8, at least part of it. The next update will feature the other part of it. People all over the world from New Zealand, to the America's are gearing up and getting their Diamond armor and Pick Axes ready to go.
The challenge? Enderman. Notch added Enderman to the game. These guys are supposed to be a creeper type of mob, but what ever you do, don't look at them. As long as you aren't looking at them, it's as though you don't even exist, but if you do look at them. Be ware. They'll become angry and get aggressive. Also, they have the ability to teleport to you. If you do make them aggressive, the only way to hold them off so far, besides trying to kill them, is to keep your mouse pointer over the mob, when you get far enough away, it'll teleport closer to you. This will increase the excitement and rush for Minecraft players. This adds a whole new level of game play.
We finally have floating islands. Yep, a way to build in the sky. Floating Fortress anyone? You have to build a portal to the Nether in order to build a portal to the Skyland. Here's how it works, first, build a Portal out of Obsidian to get to the Nether, then go into the nether and collect some Glowstone. Once you have enough Glowstone, you can create a portal to the Skyland. This should be an interesting game play feature. I can see people already making 1.8 videos. There are so many cool features being added, such as Minecarts being able to be used as Boats.
Many people have already updated their Minecraft, while many others are at work, or at school and can't wait to rush home. We know what the first thing they'll be doing when they get home will be. Updating their games of course. In fact, I'm off to update mine as well.
