the new hights arent in 1.8 :'(

There is new particles, I saw it on the livestream: Feathers fly out of chickens when they die.

this will be awesome

but the explosions and stuff are circles that just like circle away (i cant describe it XD) and the update sounds overall awesome :3 notch wants to release it next week <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>

Erm. so IF 1.8 releases tomorrow (all the rumors) should we update immediately? because if we do all the plugins wont work properly right? how long would it take to update the server?

I think they will do it like last time, with a seperate server. mc.minetown.net:1337?

From notch's twitter, I think it's coming in 1.8.

a open chest

....

groovy

yeah its in 1.8, its kinda cool if you think about it, you know what chest your opening or on multiplayer you can tell your friend open the chest i open or what ever

Holy crap, an opening chest - now that's some new advancement in gaming!

Seriously though, that would be pretty neat, hope it happens.
