Minecraft 1.8 is coming and here is the official trailer. What do you guys think? I can't wait.



Remember to not update your client to 1.8 until we have updated our server or else you will not be able to play with us.

Haha, fair enough! As long as we inform our users well enough to make the choice, I'm happy.

We'll miss you! . And we'll see you again when everything's up to date xD.

Anyone got any instructions on how to install a second client that I can update and keep my original for koolsource?

[RagingRican]

Well, Lord Rahl , I'm not sure if you can install a second client but I will post the instructions in case you (or others) would like to swap between the different versions of Minecraft.

It all boils down to one file: minecraft.jar !!!

Here's what ya do BEFORE you update:

1. Locate minecraft.jar ... Go to your minecraft folder. Inside there will be another folder named "bin". Inside this folder you will find the aforementioned file. (If you can't find the folder and you're on Windows, go to Start > Run and type the folder address: %appdata%\.minecraft\bin

2. Create a backup folder ... This will be used to store the 1.7 jar file. Copy and paste the existing "minecraft.jar" into this folder. It might be a good idea to name the jar files in this folder as to not get confused which version it is. I would use minecraft_1.7.jar ...

3. Well, there really is no need for step 3. If you want to update to 1.8 now, go right ahead! If you want to go back to playing on KoolSource, just take the jar from the backup folder and overwrite the minecraft.jar. If you don't want to have to keep re-downloading the 1.8 jar, you can back that [ass] up in your backup folder as well.

Enjoy!

MineCraft Beta 1.8 Gets Delayed
Posted by Oliver East on September - 7 - 2011

Jens Bergensten has today announced that the MineCraft Beta 1.8 update will be delayed, so will not be released on September the 8^th as previously publicized.

Jens revealed the news alongside a new estimated release date on the social networking website Twitter. He commented that “The new good guess for a Beta 1.8 release date is 12th of September (this Monday) =( *takes cover*”
To try to calm fans Jens added “a delayed patch is eventually good, a bad patch is bad fore– until the next patch”. Will such a short delay really effect the update? Comment your opinions below.
