1.8 Update in detail incldes pictures by Kyle
Hello everyone I am Kyle and this post I will be dealing with the new updates and tutorials on Minecraft.
So lets begin at this point in Minecraft we are at the stage of the 1.8 update this update will bring us.
A new mob
Here is what Notch has chosen to share about the 'Enderman' mob:
The mob is now named Enderman, kudos to a Reddit poster for pointing out the 'Slender man' resemblance and thusly giving Notch the idea of naming this creepy addition 'Enderman'
Enderman loves to teleport... but only when you aren't looking directly at it.
It can carry blocks.... we've still no idea if that is a good thing or not though!
Here is some images of this new creature
"Adventure Update" Dubbed the "Adventure Update", meant to flesh out the game a bit and make exploration and combat more rewarding.Note that this is not Adventure Mode.
Fixes:
Features:
Graphics / UI / Audio:
Multiplayer:
Modding:

You copied this of the Minecraft wiki. lolz
oh, #$%, if ender's take blocks from the world, does it mean they can pick up your dang doors?!!?!?
me: im safe in my obsidian house with wooden doors not even enderman can get in here
enderman: thats a very nice door you have *takes door*
me: =O
Creeper: THATS MY LINE *explodes on enderman*
me: o.e
enderman: thats a very nice door you have *takes door*
me: =O
Creeper: THATS MY LINE *explodes on enderman*
me: o.e
LOL! i can see that happening. actually, i can see why enderman are fast, to run from creepers XD
I am really exited of the update
Im gonna hate 1.8..............
Wow so much stuff! I can't wait! Though I'm a little cautious about the endermen...Hopefully they will be rare and only spawn on hard or something...
Nice list. Is this all confirmed or simply speculation?
updated
Bump
Pff Notch must think we're all idiots. There won't be just one new mob, what about the bloody village inhabitants?
Maybe those endermens are what build the NPC villages.
They steal your blocks and make their own houses

thanks for every one who is posting comments keep them coming
Wow this is the best information about 1.8 i have ever read! Thanks kyle!
All i do is .... Hide in a Hole untill i find trees O_O
God I hope the hunger bar is optional... whenever i start a new world i never eat until i have a stable farm and some porkchops.
Didnt you read all of it it says its optional =_=
Im not too sure about some of that stuff being good for the game, but Im not going to get all mad like some people until I actually play it and experience it, at which time I will make my opinion. The rest of it looks extremely awesome though.
What about silverfish?
uh i gonna hate those eldermen.
Endermen I believe
Nice Thread Kyle!
Awesome topic :O, now if only Notch would come up with an easier multiplayer system. Imagine a small server for a group of friends at one click of a button.
OMG I AGREE SO MUCH!!!!!! OMG!! NOTCH NEEDS THIS
Imagine all the idiot server owners, let the 12 Year olds stick with Hamachi.
Really?, i am 12 and i run a DEDICATED, NON HAMACHI server, never used hamachi, why you insult us?!?!
Your use of all caps really emphasizes your maturity
Why do you guys always use the age 12 as an insult?
We are smart people too you know D;

Most server owners already are pretentious idiots so nothing would really change. Besides I was talking about a small survival server for 4 to 5 people. I don't have the technical know-how to make my own and setting up a port sounds difficult, mojang should just add a professional multiplayer system, although I understand they have much more important things to do first.
I dont believe that this is true. NOTCH NEEDS SERVERS TO BE EASIER FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate Hamachi anyways.
I am glad about the server list. The server list mod that I use has deleted all the servers I added to it a few times.
Can't wait for it
This post is way better, it provides pictures and clearer information. I don't know what the mods are gonna do but I'm fine if they move it all here .

I`m outdone! mods feel free to place all the post in his topic (You guys are to lazy anyways >:D ) This post is way better
I just thought that I could do a batter job I did not want to take it over I am happy to leave your post there but if you want mine to take over i am fine with that.
The 'Adventure Update' really will be the greatest thing to happen to Minecraft. Being Bear Grylls for a while is fun, but quickly gets boring. With all these new features, you now have a reason to really explore your world, to find those NPC's and their villages, and also to find all those ruins.
Also, you can clearly see the Endermen carrying blocks around, but what exactly will they do with them? Will they have the ability to place them, or just wander around, mocking all the other mobs, "Hey, check me out Creeper, I can carry this block around, can you? Oh no! I forgot, you don't have arms, trolololo!". Where exactly will they get the blocks from too? Will they take them from the world, or spawn with them? Imagine, you just finished your house, and turn round to find that an Enderman has just taken the far wall... Well, I guess that will always give you something to do.

Endermen randomly grab blocks from the ground. If you run inside of a building they WILL attempt to move the blocks to get you out.
Excuse me what? Please quote a source for this information. I have not heard anything about endermen being able to move blocks you have placed, and find it unlikely notch would make endermen so difficult. (Don't get me wrong I wish they could)
