Christmas Spirit!

Hello everyone! As you may know, Christmas is coming, and on behalf of the TNTable Server committee and I, we are going to be putting in place fundraisers for the server. First one: Christmas gifts. Everybody on the server will get a present if we reach $60 in donations between now and December 25th. Any donations will count towards that $60 starting now. Second one: Secret Santa style pranks. You will pay $10, not going towards the donation goal, and you will get a name, then you will have to prank that person.

Minecraft 1.8 Pre-release – The Bountiful Update

by Jens Bergensten on August 22, 2014

Hello!

It’s time for us to pre-release the next major Minecraft update, the Bountiful Update! This will bring Minecraft to version 1.8, and should be officially be published in the launcher on Tuesday, September 2. This is the update that to date has taken the longest time to create (over 300 days), and is the result of many, many changes.

These changes consist of both new features, and large game structure changes such as replacing the hard-coded “block renderer” with a system that is able to read block shapes from data files, or performance enhancements such as multi-threading the client-side chunk rendering. We hope you will enjoy it!

Here’s a list of the major changes in the game:

• Added Granite, Andesite, and Diorite stone blocks, with smooth versions
• Added Slime Block
• Added Iron Trapdoor
• Added Prismarine and Sea Lantern blocks

• Minecraft Realms now has an activity chart, so you can see who has been online

• Considerable faster client-side performance
• Max render distance has been increased to 32 chunks (512 blocks)
• Adventure mode now prevents you from destroying blocks, unless your items have the CanDestroy data tag
• Resource packs can now also define the shape of blocks and items, and not just their textures
• Scoreboards have been given a lot of new features

Server's Future

I know that 1.8 is just around the corner, probably coming out within the next two weeks, and after 1.8 comes out I will be keeping it at 1.8. Until the server computer gets upgrades and the server doesn't lag, the server will stay at 1.8. Just letting everybody know.
