Here's hoping creepers blow themselves up against things other than us.

Like your house? Or a pig standing next to your Giant Complamacated Redstone Logic Automated Macguffin Farm? ...I'd rather not

They do this already. I've seen them blow up by skeletons, but then they have to be shot by the skeletons arrows to do it.

That could potentially suck though. If a creeper is standing next to your building and another mob walked up to it then youd be coming back to find a big hole in your wall.

Triple redundancy defences so - moats, fences and walls

hmmmm

for those who play online on a server and were fretting over map resets for 1.8 and loss of creations, another bombshell was dropped.

1.9 will also require a new map generation.

So I seen. Thing is that the entire new biome code will take a few days at LEAST with the Bukkit devs. I'm not too worried if 1.9 comes a couple of weeks later. Most people will be stuck into the single player experience before moving onto the multiplayer servers again

I don't think that is a big deal either. We could have the server up and running during the period between 1.8 and 1.9 and perhaps have the item spawn commands open for everyone to use so that a bid of organized chaos can occur :P

Look at this video from JX23... I love that new touch that Notch has put in where by the pigs, sheep, cows etc... run away from you when you hit them.
You can see it at 1:30 in the video which shows that collecting some pork is no longer an easy challange :P "Here piggy, piggy, piggy!"

Oh god it freezes like hell for me but OMNOMNOM ANIMATIONS AND RAVINES. MY MINECRAFT SENSES ARE BEING OVERLOADED.

Found myself in a massive ocean biome, swam for miles, gave up and sank myself, heard some chimes at around y=30, died, respawned, came across a small island, killed an enderman, got a pearl, found a village, got killed by an enderman.

Found no trees in over 2 hours of exploring. God help us all! Doing a quick video on it now

Were these the chimes? Here's more info about what it probably was.
