Markus Persson aka Notch has today released Minecraft Beta version 1.8.1 which brings in a few needed bug fixes to the game.
The biggest thing that the patch fixed was the “shift click bug” which according to Jens caused “client crashes when you attempt to add to many items to a double chest by shift-clicking in SMP”.
Other changes are currently unknown but if 1.7 was anything to go on expect a couple more patches to come in the next few days.

September 15, 2011 at 7:01 PMThere were SOOOOO many more bug fixes than that my friend. Here’s a list of all the ones I ALONE found:
1: Pistons now operate WITH redstone wire
2: Pistons used to disable sand/gravel physics. When pushed, sand or gravel would stay in place and not fall. This was fixed.
3: Animals run away when hit (in a moer effective manor)
4: See through walls glitch (previously achieved by covering yourself in gravel) is now fixed
And several non-user viewable bugs in the system.
The only thing they HAVEN’T fixed in 1.8.1 is the powered minecart glitch (minecarts are ineffective entirely)
It did however add one glitch where ocassionally you will fall through a block but its rare
Hope you guys enjoy 1.8.1!

My best guess as to the time-control thing was that it was meant for the “expert crafters” to play around with the prerelease. I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean for that to be in the actual game.

September 17, 2011 at 7:59 AM@Bob – you’ll need to reobtain 1.8.1 compatible versions of the mods and reinstall them.

When you update your minecraft’s .jar file, it deletes all of your mods and replaces them with a vanilla copy of minecraft.
To fix, I would reinstall the mods, but they might not have a compatible version that’ll work with 1.8.1.

when minecraft is updated, mods need to be updated too or they won’t work. To update them you have to download the latest version (for 1.8.1) and install that. I’m nto sure about single play command, but Toomany items has definitly been updated, i have personally downloaded it and it is working fine.
