A recent post from Jeb suggest that Notch told the staff that there will not be a 1.9 release. Instead all pre-releases from this point will lead toward the offical release on November 18th. I guess that means that 1.8.1 will mark the end of the Beta chapter. And thus now we will have to monitor every pre-release updates via twitter till November 18th since by then the game will offically launch.

Wow I haven't been keeping track of stuff, hadn't even looked at this thread for a while. Holy shit, one month and everything's changed.

Am I the only one who's bummed out by the prospect of the Beta ending? It felt so infinite, like the game would expand and get new and exciting things forever :/

Myschi · « **Reply #452 on:** October 10, 2011, 10:47:57 PM »

I think it still will, to some extent. From my understanding, everyone but Notch and a handful of others are going to continue on with Minecraft, while Notch does other crap.

And if they ever do stop updating... Well, then you've got mods.

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #453 on:** October 10, 2011, 11:22:35 PM »

The Beta had to end at some time. Fortunately, they'll still be adding stuff.

Cadmas · « **Reply #454 on:** October 10, 2011, 11:29:47 PM »

Official release is just another term for extended beta.

My design guidelines for the dragon: If I can beat at all, it's too easy.

AW YEAH NOTCH THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT. It seems notch caught on to the too easy thing :V

Quote

The dragon phases through terrain, and is 100% invulnerable now. Now to make it more difficult.. Hmm..

THANK YOU FOR SATISFYING MY LUNATIC DESIRES NOTCH \o/

i made it vanish all blocks it hit. That was awesomely destructive, but expensive in MP. =D

...that sounds...problemmatic. AND YOU PANSIES WERE WORRIED ABOUT ENDERMEN JUST LOOK AT THIS:

Quote

yes. Everything. Instantly. Not sure if we're keeping it. =)

YEAH YOU BABIES THIS IS A REAL HAZARD. However, it may be removed so who knows :V

Quote

Yep, I'm going to have to let mobs have multiple hit boxes.. Crap. Much crap. This is going to be horrible to implement. First: MvC3!!

About time gdi.

Enchantments are 'done' for the time being. Now on to why there are so many bad potions... *dun dun dun*

I wonder what he has planned. Also, it seems ghast tears now cause regeneration in a potion rather than instant health or something.

I wonder... Would it be possible to tame a dragon? It would be cool to have a flying mount that rains destruction anywhere.

More like Notch is making the Elder Blocks or the Miner Scrolls, and thus Bethesda may try to extend its case to this. :\
...which in that case, no money to Skyrim from me.

mmh? If Minecraft has dragons, why would you get Skyrim anyway

三重階乗 · « **Reply #469 on:** October 12, 2011, 08:05:52 PM »

The concept of an invincible being that destroys even Adminium doesn't seem like a legitimate threat at all. It sounds more like forcing you to delete your world when one shows up, regardless of when or where. Seeing how this is heading, they'll probably be hostile, have a huge sight range with x-ray vision [see through blocks], and ignore things like light, difficulty, even the game mode. It'll probably take a mod to disable their appearance, too.

At this rate they should probably be called (Ender)Dragon Gods instead of just (Ender)Dragons if you get my drift.

Cadmas · « **Reply #470 on:** October 12, 2011, 08:21:55 PM »

Well it looks like there is only one enderdragon in the ender.
Notch mentioned maybe putting smaller dragons in the overworld.

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #471 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:08:16 PM »

Thank God they don't spawn in the regular world

No wonder Endermen are always moving blocks. They have to keep moving their homes away from that damn dragon!

It looks very cool. Just waaaaay too destructive to unleash in the main world.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #473 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:51:30 PM »

Indeed, seeing them in main world would be diastrous. However, I still support seeing smaller, less destructive dragons in main - there, death from above :getdown:

HakureiSM · « **Reply #474 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:53:58 PM »

Not that it will stop Strafe from spawning one in the multiplayer world one day

InfernalExuro · « **Reply #475 on:** October 12, 2011, 11:00:33 PM »

And of course, smaller dragons would probably act like powered-up Ghasts. You know what that means for me. :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #476 on:** October 12, 2011, 11:01:16 PM »

Yep, he would. :V

Better yet, put a few dragon spawners around, especially in the planned sphere world. Have to keep the game from becoming too easy!
