Whoa…
Looks like the new perks for XP.
And there are flasks?

#22

They must be the new “potions” I heard were secretly added into the code in 1.8.1

#23

That’s pretty awesome, finally a real XP and points (?) system :slight_smile:

#24

Wonder when 1.9 is coming… did anyone notice that it said “Prerelease 2” in the corner?

EDIT: Notch just said he will make endermen different or add something to them… wonder what that means

#25

Endermen will no longer pick up blocks

#26

Yay! They won’t steal my damn walls! I was really annoyed at the thought that “griefers” are endermen. Also, XP has a use! :slight_smile: I look forward to it just a bit.

#27

so they wont pick up blocks anymore… There goes their only interesting quality.
EDIT: enderpearls will now be able to be thrown, and you will teleport to where it hits, and take some fall damage. I think also their ability to pick things up will be reduced, but not complelely removed.

#28

I stand corrected.

The awkward moment when your playing 2.0 for the first time and dobby attacks you.

It seems item enchantment is coming in 1.9

#35

Wow cool! Guess there is going to be a whole alchemy system, though I highly doubt that they will make us be able to change coal/ stone into gold :stuck_out_tongue:
