I mentioned last time that I was going to go somewhere different to look for diamond – Creeper Cave. My trip is uneventful but good things come to those who wait.
The 1.8 Adventure Patch for Minecraft was leaked yesterday and has since been given Notch’s stamp of approval. It’s not a polished, finished version so I recommend keeping a back up of your 1.7 minecraft.jar if you’re going to try it out. I gave it a spin and here’s what I’ve found.
