1.8 Pre-release

[RevStoningpot]

reclicking insted of holding down when fighting and placing blocks is lame it just means we have to become spastic clickers

I never held down the mouse button anyway :p. Never heard of click mining?

u can survive a drop from ground level to bedrock with full set of LETHER armor.. and only lose 50% health.. armor overpowered? it be fun to see how it works in combat...

not all that great it saves 1 sec for 20 blocks also it didn't look as smooth sometines he slipped up and took more time on an individual block. But we still don't need to re click when diging so it's all good

so it says free flying in creative mode but i can't figure out how to fly. Any help? How do you pick mellons? Havn't checked out any caves but if they really are smaller that sucks I liked the huge caves in the other release. I also tried the new server software I was hopping for more options but oh well.

You fly with doubletap space

The caves are not smaller, they are bigger. And the mines are pretty okay :)

[RevStoningpot]
