Minecraft 1.8 leaked early.



And by 'leaked' I mean 'not leaked at all'. This isn't exactly news (having been out for a few days now), but what the hell; this blog is new. Expect me to be reporting on Doom's release soon.

Anyway, Minecraft 1.8 is playable for anyone who is willing to download and install the .jar file. It's very simple, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, here's a quick guide.

  1. Download the .jar file from here.
  2. Open Windows Explorer.
  3. Go to Tools > Folder Options (You may need to press the Alt key on Win 7 or Vista) > View > Click the circle that lets you show hidden folders.
  4. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin
  5. Copy the new .jar file into this directory.
So that could have been easier, but what the hell. Enjoy the new mobs, and the massive number of changes!
