After months of work on the Minecraft 1.8 Update, Mojang has finally come with the first pre-released build of “Bountiful Update”, which gives the fans an idea on what to expect from the most waited Minecraft 1.8 Update that will be released next month.
Minecraft’s team is not giving so much information about how the development process is going, compared to how they were fixing problems around this time in 2013. Some fans even accuse Mojang of slacking when it comes to Minecraft 1.8 Update, but that’s not true. A few days later after releasing the fourth Minecraft snapshot of the week, they got back with a pre-released build of Minecraft 1.8 update and they also might come with more builds in the next days.
According to the Minecraft team, Minecraft 1.8 Update will be released on September 2. With other words, in less than 2 weeks Mojang will release one of the most expected Minecraft Update, the 1.8 one.
Even if Mojang did not give us some patch notes for today’s preview of the Bountiful Update, Jens Bergensten, a Minecraft developer, gave us enough information about the changes in some posts on reddit and on the official Mojang blog. Even if the posts don’t have a full list of the patch notes but combined with the pre-release information about Bountiful Update, the fans can get a pretty good idea on what to expect from the Minecraft 1.8 update.
However, from how many snapshots were released until the first work began on the Minecraft 1.8 update, Mojang will have to post a change log that will be quite long, containing several pages.
