Either that sheep is lost or it’s just a pig in disguise… or it’s wolf in disguise. And another thing- why are they all in this little canyon?

World Split
Posted by Admin on 19 October, 2011
The world generation algorithms have changed from before version 1.8 until now and not a single f**k was given about the transition between the terrain generated in older versions of Minecraft and the new terrains. Previously unloaded chunks will end abruptly causing visual mind stabs like seen here in the screenshots.
Fields, forests and mountains

Terrain generation in Minecraft version 1.8 gives us bigger biomes and more interesting landscapes than before. Here we can see a weird looking mountian in the center of the view.
New Lighting Scheme Makes for Beautiful Sunrises
Posted by Admin on 13 September, 2011
Instead of sections of the landscape turning to darker lighting modes, the colors change gradually in this leaked release of Minecraft version 1.8. When the sun rises and sets the colors change and provide for greater atmospheric impacts.
Mountains and rolling hills

Not only are there beautiful mountainous terrains, you’ll also find rolling rills and fields that stretch out in the leaked release of Minecraft version 1.8.
Rivers in Minecraft Landscape
Posted by Admin on 13 September, 2011
Along side grandiose mountains, cliffs and ravines you’ll also find rivers snaking their way through the Minecraft landscape. At the moment, rivers do not actually flow, but they are a very pleasing feature in terms of appearance and they help making the landscape more realistic.

In the leaked release of Minecraft version 1.8 the land generation algorithms have been overhauled and now if you go exploring you’ll generally find more epicness in the world around you. One example of these new landscape features are ravines. They are long, deep trenches, like deep cuts in the landscape. Be careful when running […]
Torchlight gives a yellow glow to the inside of caves

Putting down torches in caves in the prerelease version of Minecraft 1.8 gives off a more yellow glow than regular sunlight does. Apart from a noticeable higher abundance of caves, this new lighting scheme really plays up the atmosphere inside caves and such.
View of the terrain in the pre-release of 1.8

It’s hard to say for certain but the terrain generated in the prerelease of Minecraft version 1.8 really feels different. You can spot some new kinds of trees- obviously they signify a kind of pine-tree for this biome. I’ve heard some people make the remark that some of the new trees look like toilet brushes… […]
My First Night home in the pre-release
Posted by Admin on 12 September, 2011
This is my little house in the pre-release of Minecraft 1.8. It’s recommended to start a new world because terrain generation is done with new algorithms. You can’t really tell from this image, but lighting has also gone a complete overhaul- it looks very good now. You can also see vine type things hanging from […]
