Q: When is Beta 1.8 ("Adventure Update Part 1") out? A: Best estimate 8th of September (self.minecraftfaq)

Sources are invaluable you guys' date=' 8th of September is still an estimate. Nothing is sure [b']at all

[Clavus]

Do we care? No we don't. 8th it is.

[The Lazy Peon]

You seem over-zealous about this man, Clavini.

[fatboysmarty]

sure but i dont get the food bar stuff

[Dr.Minky]

Who cares when its out.. I'd rather have a good finished patch than some glitchy-ass rushed thing.

If your food bar's full then your health will gradually regen itself. You use up your food bar when running.

Notch did mention that the height limit will be easily changeable, but he didn't make it the default (for stability reasons).

[Mathematic]

Double height limit would screw things up. It would cost 2x more brandwith etc (I thought I read that from his Twitter).

Notch also said something about that if you fall for such a long time, you can go through the world

Well fuck. Waiting for the new world is really grinding my gears.
