Jens Bergensten has today announced that the Minecraft Beta 1.8 update will be delayed, so will not be released on September the 8th 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.

September 7, 2011 at 5:21 PMWhat the F*** is wrong with these people? They really think think they can just go around delaying my Minecraft 1.8 adventure update for a week? I want to know were the h*** these people get off!

*takes cover*
September 7, 2011 at 5:42 PMHe’d better *takes cover*… we would never touch Notch for delaying it, we barely even know this asshole…
Nessrome
September 7, 2011 at 5:44 PMI quit my job for this release(j/k), now what will i do? I’ve minded till my fingers are sore, and all my pickaxes broken. When I play on my brothers multiplayer server late at night after everyone else has left, I get so lonely, I need this update!
Oliver East
September 7, 2011 at 5:46 PMhe’s worked on it almost as much as notch
Tom
September 7, 2011 at 5:48 PMCalm down guys. The team is doing their best to get it out and make sure its playable and at least theyre coming out with a 1.8. so get off their backs
Julian
September 7, 2011 at 5:52 PMYou need to remember that it a huge changes and if something happen and a error they have to fix it so that what happen and need to push it back unless you want to some how mess up your computer with a error program. SO Jack you are wrong about calling them that they are wrong in doing so. But you are wrong becuase you want Minecraft to work. Alot of programing takes alot of testing before it publical to people. Try programing a game and keeping it updated with out any errors ……

September 7, 2011 at 6:22 PMWTF FUC/K IT! lolz filled with rage..
jakey
September 7, 2011 at 6:25 PMthey arnt suposed to find all the bugs , we are
this should of been a secret update!
CRAP`
September 7, 2011 at 6:30 PMSon of a tit. Why does this have to be delayed again. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the update and Right when I think its gonna come it the date gets extended. If it gets extended again after this I will be done playing and no longer recommend this game to my friends
Moder
September 7, 2011 at 6:56 PMListen guys, programing a game isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. It’s quite complicated, and incase you havn’t noticed…this is the biggest update Notch has done. Julian is right in saying that if not patched/fixed it has a chance of messing with your computer. So lay off they’re developement team and Notch for delaying the release date. Ok?
Goop
September 7, 2011 at 7:09 PMWhy are you people so upset? It’s getting delayed five days. Calm the hell down, I’m pretty sure five days dosen’t really matter.
kilo
September 7, 2011 at 7:28 PMHAHA very funny you know mojang always the pranksters
Andre
September 7, 2011 at 7:34 PMNotch is probliy going to surprise us and release it on sept. 8th (: (:
Whoa
September 7, 2011 at 7:55 PMReally people? Notch and Jens never said the update would be for sure out on the 8th, that was their best guess at the time, no promises. And if minecraft is your entire life then you have bigger things to worry about than the next update. There are millions of people anxiously awaiting this update, I’m sure they are under enough pressure.
Brad
September 7, 2011 at 8:00 PMI’m going to get a new server. I was supposed to get it this friday, because i want my map to be one for 1.8. now my players have to wait 3 more days. Joy.
Anyway, i’m not too mad. Minecraft can wait. And jon, get a girlfriend you lowlife loser.
Teh Rapist
September 7, 2011 at 8:08 PMNOTCH! Y U NO HURRY UP!? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
*rage*
September 7, 2011 at 8:28 PMWhy do they have to keep delaying this?? I expected it in August then Septermber 8, then delay it 4 more days just for more testing?
I would play the 1.8 no matter how friggin buggy it is

comment above sums and i can spel. I think that this is POINTLESS!!!! we the peps has been waiting 4 dis and we r supposed 2 test for bugs not them! 1 more delay and GOODBYE!!! to minecraft
John
September 7, 2011 at 9:36 PMCmon, i planned for a week around this update to come out on the 8th, now im waiting another 4 days? Yea it’s a big update but still, it’s been like 3 months since 1.7 came out, all the rest came out within like a month of each other
Pwines14
September 7, 2011 at 9:44 PMYou people are idiots, delaying the update means something must have messed up, do you want to play a screwed update that wont even get fixed till later? 5 days is nothing compared to the wait since 1.7!
Seriously
September 7, 2011 at 10:05 PMWords cannot express my frustration. I was looking forward to this, invited some friends over for the weekend and we were all going to play minecraft 1.8 together. And now this is all WRECKED. Thanks Jeb.
FUUUUUCK
September 7, 2011 at 10:33 PMNOOOOOOOOOO THIS BUMMED ME OUT SO BAD! :C I’m gonna go kick a stuffed animal. Fucking minecraft..
Farley
September 7, 2011 at 10:39 PMnow its gonna be released on a monday right at the beginning of a week instead of it being released right before a weekend which mean i gotta wait a whole week before i really get into it due to work and school taking up the time. damnit
RaRaRetard
September 7, 2011 at 11:04 PMUh, guys, you realize that it’s still beta-they can do whatever they want…just wait for it
Delicioius Tears
September 7, 2011 at 11:16 PM“One more delay, and I’ll quit Minecraft for good!”
Easily the least believable and emptiest threat I’ve read in my entire life.
cam
September 7, 2011 at 11:48 PMWell, this is frustrating. Oh well, life goes on. I can’t believe some of you are raging to the point of threatening to quit minecraft over this though come on guys. If Mojang had always said the release date would be Sep. 20 or something and then bumped it forward to 12 you’d be overjoyed.
On the other hand, jakey has a point. Minecraft is in Beta, we should be the ones finding bugs.
SnS
September 7, 2011 at 11:56 PMMOTHER F**KER!!! damn notch delaying especially when it was going to be released tomorrow. i was so hyped up about this update until notch delays it. i also hope this is a joke thread because if so than i just gave up all my anxiousness to be released tomorrow for 1.8 for nothing.
Notch
September 7, 2011 at 11:58 PMcalm the hell down everybody,
we are still working on enderman and npc villages :)
Relax
September 8, 2011 at 12:10 AMCalm down we waited over 2 months for this I think we can wait for another 5 days, it’s not really a big deal.
Winter
September 8, 2011 at 12:10 AMAll of you are nolifers who cant even wait for a simple game to update. Geez. What would you do if they decided to go on vacation for 2 weeks? Throw your computer at the wall and then start an angry mob?
I don’t even know the date since the last update but it dosent matter. 2 months 3 months dosent matter to me. Go read a book. Do some extra studying. Put in some extra overtime at work. Watch all the dragon ball shows from the beggining but just stop freaking crybaggin!!!
Dominus_Empyreus
September 8, 2011 at 12:11 AMWhy notch? I FREAKEN BOUGHT MINECRAFT FOR THIS SHIT! MY SERVER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF SINCE THE 4TH! HOW DARE YOU! YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH IF IT NO RELEASE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Minecraft
September 8, 2011 at 12:36 AMYou guys are bunch of ass holes well most of you are like seriously calm your tits its minecraft get a life its a crazy good game and in just five more days it will get that much better so calm down and let them work or they just release it and fuck your computer up then youll have to wait i dot know like 2 weeks till you can play. Besides most of you guys get of at masturbation station so fuck off gay ass dildo licking faggots.
the_lazlow
September 8, 2011 at 12:49 AMWe’re all complaining..
yet, the game is still in beta…
Fuck this
September 8, 2011 at 1:16 AMi have a server. I just blew up the whole thing today. Then now there saying its not coming out. My friends are going to get piseed. And thanks for ruining me and my friends JEB
varinyc
September 8, 2011 at 1:40 AMBeta is a stage of development. It’s not an entitlement for anyone, especially finding bugs.
Being in beta simply means it MIGHT have bugs, not that it’s your duty to find them…all. By yourself.
It’s their job more than anyone’s to spot wrongs in the code created by themselves. Besides, postponing BECAUSE they found a bug just means they’re fixing it, versus knowing about it-releasing it-THEN saying they’ll fix it.
“minecraft is out today, but it has a horrible bug that messes up everything, ENJOY! we’ll fix it later” is basically what most of you are raging you want -.-
Paul
September 8, 2011 at 2:07 AMdamn i was really hopin for some nice adventure update gaming for the first weekend since school started. oh well itl be a late night on monday :D
Dominus_Empyreus_is_a_girl
September 8, 2011 at 2:10 AM@Dominus_Empyreus
Seriously? Feel your wrath? I’m sure notch is so scared of you right now. Let’s just get our panties out of a bunch and calm down…go start a new world and kill some creepers.
If you can’t wait 5 days I have news for you…
Bob
September 8, 2011 at 2:17 AMi think its a bit stupid, i was looking forward to 1.8 because in my opinion, minecraft has lost a sense of purpose. i wish notch and company would just hurry the thing up already
-depression sets on-
September 8, 2011 at 2:21 AMi have been specifically waiting to play this game and then commite suiced….fucken hell make me live for a bit longer…
Fourtea2(42)
September 8, 2011 at 2:50 AMso yeah i think everyone needs to chill the F*@! down i mean really where do you get off telling a programmer what he can or can not do. I was excited for the 8th now I’m excited for the 12th and if it doesn’t come out then I’m excited for the next attempted release. Did anyone play halo 2? that game was gunna be the shit and they had 3 delays and had to take out sooooo much of the game and it ended up being not all that great soooo we can wait 5 more days for epic or we can have bleh. get a life other than video games shit people *hard core parkour*
sam
September 8, 2011 at 2:53 AMThis is s*** i got told it came out today and now its the 12th. it better be a good update or else
Le me
September 8, 2011 at 2:53 AMWell hey, i guess its better that they release it on the 12 rather than another month or two, i think this is going to be a really good update, that is why its taking so long to make and getting so many delays.
Harley
September 8, 2011 at 3:12 AMmaybe you should play the aether mod or mo’es creture
mod or both that soon pasts time
Andrew
September 8, 2011 at 3:20 AMI love how you guys are complaining for an update on a (BETA) level game…. its not finished your treating it as if its the finished copy of the game. Give them time to work out the problems and you’ll get a better end result…. Do I have to remind anyone of dead islands release? Unfinished version second day multiplayer is down?
Krysta
September 8, 2011 at 3:50 AMHahahahaha, you people have given me a much needed laugh tonight. Firey rage and all that, yes.
Jakey, your point is sideways. The point of a beta is not for “us” to find the bugs. It’s for the bugs to be found, and to allow the players to test the functionality of features before the final release. If they’ve found the bugs before the update even gets to us, then they can and should allow a reasonable delay to fix them.
It is unfortunate for those of you who’ve planned your weekends around the update. However, this is not crashing planes or leveling cities. Those friends you were going to hang out with in minecraft? They’ll still exist. Know how I know? You managed to contact them completely without the benefit of 1.8 to arrange the weekend to start with.
So I’m sure you can find something to do. Throw a party. Watch a movie. *gasp* leave the house. Hell, if you’re determined for it to be a minecraft weekend, why not build a huge structure in 1.7 as a farewell to the old as it makes way for the new.
Notch and team, take your time. When it’s ready, we’ll be here.
goddamnit
September 8, 2011 at 4:15 AMi honestly think notch and stuff could work a LOT harder, they’re always off at conventions and crap, at least hire some more people to work on minecraft, its not like you can’t afford it man, you have freaking tens of millions of dollars man
justin
September 8, 2011 at 4:50 AMYES YES THIS WILL EFFECT 1.8 VERY MUCH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 1.8 SINCE 1.7 CAME OUT SO I THINK IM ALOWED TO BE ANNOYED! >:(

September 8, 2011 at 5:46 AMTo be honest, I hate minecraft 1.8 being delayed. I have a lot to study anyway… And Dead Island being released on Friday its a great option for the weekend.
matthew
September 8, 2011 at 6:32 AMAWE MAN :( damit i stayed up all night…lol jk only untill this happend
Alex
September 8, 2011 at 7:01 AMArg, this sucks, I’ll be at school all day on monday :s
James
September 8, 2011 at 7:10 AMIt’s a shame but i’d prefer them to have the time to improve it. Think i’ll give dead island a miss – doesn’t look great.
Shane
September 8, 2011 at 7:37 AMWell, I understand the delay, Notch wants the update to be the best before he releases. So I agree with them to that point. But I really wish it could be Sunday and not Monday (I HAVE SCHOOL D=)
Brian Hamilton
September 8, 2011 at 7:52 AMAwwwwww… I got so excited.
skynicksky
September 8, 2011 at 8:11 AMDANG IT. I start school today i wanted to play it befofre I went… oh well
SeaBass
September 8, 2011 at 8:32 AMI don’t really care that much about the update being delayed, but it would be nice to have it sooner. If it’s a bit buggy for the first couple of days who cares, Im pretty sure that there are hundreds of minecraft freak lovers who just go with the bug and use it to their advantage. But I am a little dissapointed that it did have to be delayed.
Jared
September 8, 2011 at 9:05 AMMan the anticipation…. Haha oh well I can wait longer. No bugs if we give them more time, you know?
MRMisterMr
September 8, 2011 at 10:18 AMWhat annoys me is that they picked a date that they weren’t ready for. If you claim a date, people get their hopes up. Solution: Don’t announce a date until you are sure. If I told a customer that something would be ready in a couple days, you can bet it will be. I’m well aware of the difficulties that come with programming, maybe Notch’s team should be, as well.
hurdur
September 8, 2011 at 10:22 AMWell remember 1.7’s multiple updates?… Yeah i’ll wait
AnakinBlue
September 8, 2011 at 10:32 AMDamn. I was looking forward to it. I UNINSTALLED ALL MY MODS TODAY JUST FOR THE UPDATE
Kieran
September 8, 2011 at 10:45 AMThe thing that annoys me is that Jeb is the only one working on Minecraft! It’s notches premier game! You would think that 80% of the resources would go into finishing it!
Albrie
September 8, 2011 at 10:59 AMTo everyone that is whining over the delay: If it were released today and there were a lot of bugs in the game, you would probably complain about that, too. Seriously, it’s not bad to wait for a great game.
Myself, I can’t wait for creative mode (I hate monsters lol). My husband is excited for the update as well.
Alex
September 8, 2011 at 11:08 AMThis sucks I have been waiting for this update all this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woody239
September 8, 2011 at 11:08 AMThat is fucking stupid, I thought 9/8 was too far away, now we have to wait another 4 fucking days? Vote Up if you agree with me
Precedent
September 8, 2011 at 11:56 AM@MRMisterMr Well, the release date was fine until the fanbase got unreasonable and started asking for features. That put Notch and Jeb under pressure to complete some of these features and got delayed. Don’t get your panties in a bunch
trobilit
September 8, 2011 at 11:59 AMwow what the fuck all they do is delay everything
jake the beast
September 8, 2011 at 12:30 PMAt least it’s better than the multiple updates we had in 1.7
Sean
September 8, 2011 at 12:59 PMThere was never any *official* word the patch would be released today.
And it’s “affected”, not “effected”.
Sean
September 8, 2011 at 1:01 PMGod, it’s like watching little children waiting for their candy.
matt
September 8, 2011 at 1:09 PMguys we get a new monster and new modes its gunna be incredibly buggy if they just push it out
Hmm
September 8, 2011 at 2:58 PM*Cries, eats a jaffercake and screams*
“Why the fok *mrhmf* are thif bullshitf *smhs* delaye”
Aus
September 8, 2011 at 3:12 PMErr…not really all that surprised. Yesterday he says today, today he says Monday; we probably won’t see 1.8 till November. =/
Nick
September 8, 2011 at 3:33 PMOh well. I’m sure it’ll be about 20% cooler.

September 8, 2011 at 3:39 PM“one more delay and you are not playing minecraft anymore?”

September 8, 2011 at 5:10 PMThis was like waking up for Christmas, to only have your Dad punch you in the face and say, “No Presents!”
Austin
September 8, 2011 at 6:37 PMWell they didnt say for sure… they said the estimated time frame was september 8th therefore that doesnt mean it WILL come out the 8th, and notch is a very good coder and coded a whole game in one day!!! so actully that timeframe he can code alot in and i mean alot.
Ian

September 9, 2011 at 11:09 AMi can see the logic if you read the word of notch you would know that the update was still pretty buggy i’m just glad that he’s putting more time into fixing those bugs he csded prelude to the chambered in 48 hours imagine how much he could do in 4 days
