Notch Notices 1.8 Has Leaked

Relkeb

Notch has announced on Twitter that 1.8 has been leaked. He is alright with everyone using it, as long as they get it from the leaked url they are hosting (link to Minecraft Jar file download).

Simply open up your /AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/bin and replace the minecraft jar file with the leaked one.

We're running a "for fun" test server for 1.8.
Ip: beta.opticraft.net:25566

This is a simple vanilla server. Login and have fun. IT IS TEMPORARY!

Make a backup of your old minecraft.jar!

Just went for it, it is okay, but world generation sucks and I didn't see any villages or supermassive shrooms.
But meh.

In my brief play I saw four villages and in my first night i saw an enderman.

I think it is quite likely i will disable villages in SMP. They really serve no purpose right now. They just make the game a whole lot easier, as you get a shitload of free wheat from them

You shouldn't need to worry about a backup (assuming you don't mind losing achievements or mods). Every time you delete/create a new minecraft folder, it updates automatically through minecraft.net and being that this isn't official, the latest it will update to is 1.7.3(?).

I've setup a vanilla 1.8 server at beta.opticraft.net:25566 - Tell your friends get on and check it out! :P
