The List

List of stuff I should be looking for:

-What kinds of blocks can Endermen pick up / move?
-What do Endermen drop? Do they have a sound yet?
-How intrusive are they?
-Are there fish (silver or otherwise)? [NOPE]
-Giant mushrooms; what do its blocks do, do they ever look different?
-Strongholds; what is inside? iron bars?
-Any baby animals?
-Boss mobs?
-Giant oceans: what's at the bottom?
-Do rivers flow?
-New Nether content?
-Does the skylands exist yet?
- What do zombies drop now?
-New foods/farming?

  4. will there be a sort of LAN feature like on minecraft for android? where i can drop into a friends world while connected to said friends internet.

  5. Please add: Do Endermen create enough damage/disruption over time to warrant them to be removed for SMP servers? In short, are they more of a pain than a novelty?

  6. Will there be any other block type to benefit the "half vertical" style that glass is getting?

  13. I know some of these were mentioned already but I figured not omitting questions might give you a clearer sense of what people want to know. In order of piqued curiosity:

    Enderman. Are they rare? What do they drop? Are you allowed to look away after a fraction of a second without them attacking you, or is there a distance limit or something? (To prevent them from unexpectedly attacking you if you accidentally look at them while exploring.) Where do they spawn (specific biomes, caves, all surface?) Do they spawn in light?

    What do the giant mushroom blocks do? How can you replant giant mushrooms? (Notch implied it was a possible thing to do.) What does the giant mushroom biome look like?

    Any new ores? Or new dyes?

    What do zombies drop?

    Jeb confirmed silverfish aren't water mobs, so the previously mentioned tweet doesn't apply. Source: http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/105613873008226306. So, are there silverfish and what do they do?

    Can you label chests?

    Are the wells in the villages infinite? (In case they fix that infinite water glitch in the final release.)

    What do the infamous borders in the NPC villages look like?

    Any new types of flowers or vegetation?

    Are there lanterns or any other portable light source?

    Jeb mentioned new types of stairs. What kinds? Do they have a good way of going down a steep cliff, like rope in the Better Than Wolves mod?

    Apologies for the long list of questions. I swear this update is slow torture for the curious and the impatient. I am slowly remembering why I don't usually play games that are still in development. Minecraft is worth it though.

  14. Will squids spawn only in 'oceans'?

  15. @paranoide I believe I read somewhere that dynamic lighting (lighting that moves around with the character, such as a lantern) will not be added, or at least there are no plans for it, because of the complications of updating chunk lighting every time a person moves.

    Also, Protato, in answer to the "Any baby animals?" question: I believe that Jens said both baby animals and volcanoes have not been added YET because they have different ideas about how to implement them.

  16. Zombies drop rotting flesh, rivers don't flow, and Enderman get hurt from contact with water.

  17. Dude, PAX started yesterday and there is already 1.8 details everywhere except here. Sorry, but seriously, you suck!

  18. Enderman drop 2 diamonds.

    It will be great if we can conbine some like a pickaxe in one hand and a torch in the other. Or the torch works whitout being in a wall.

  21. @573... the goal was not to post spoilers here, but post a review after. Don't know if you read the actual blog there.

    All spoilers were on my twitter, and many people used my stuff as references.
