Jens has just revealed when Mojang plan to release Minecraft beta 1.8 and what it will be.
Recently Notch revealed the originally planned 1.8 was getting a bit big so they would be splitting it up into 1.8 and 1.9. Jens has now announced that 1.8 will very much like the “PAX version of Minecraft” with a few tweaks.
He then went on to add that Mojang’s estimate for a release date for Minecraft Beta 1.8 by saying “Sep 8th is a good guess”.

September 2, 2011 at 7:16 AMGetting bored of waiting now, I think they need to concentrate on getting Minecraft finished and put down other projects.

September 2, 2011 at 7:35 PMI agree with jods. They should never stop making minecraft. All games are funner when they are constintly making changes. I hope they never “finish” making minecraft.

September 2, 2011 at 11:43 PMDude they need to speed up the updates. I haven’t played 1.7 since the day it came out. I really dont find pistons very interesting. Right now theres only so much you can do in Minecraft with out boring yourself to death. Hopefully this updates fixes that.

September 2, 2011 at 11:45 PMAnd btw, about the Minecraft never being finish thing, no. Just no. It would fail. There would eventually there would be too much shit in the game, people would whine when they removed stuff to make room for new stuff- everybody would be pissed about something. Maybe… DLC?
