Great info share bong :)

[Zaid]

Will our worlds be updated to this version? Or will we have to leave behind all our worlds that we spent countless hours working hard on to make it just the way we want it? Because that would straight up suck because I have a world like that :(

Thanks for the info. I've been waiting for this update. I read somewhere that you will have to start a new world each time it updates. Any idea if that's true? I also read that an upcoming update will introduce hunger to the game. That will be interesting lol!

I guess if you have been far in your world it will already of generated the blocks and saved, maybe if you havn't been far and it needs to generate it may load as some clay etc. Well I hope anyway lol.

[drizzt]

even if blocks arent in your present world you could always just mod them in after this awesome update i cant wait.

My game just updated and ALL my previously created worlds have the updated items etc added to them. What a relief lol. I'd hate to have to redo some of them. I hope that also works for everyone else.

[SegaSaturn]

Nice.

Does anyone know if at some point, they'll be adding a creative mode? I'm not into the whole pvp thing really...I just want to build a sweet castle lol

Oh, and my main world never updated to have clay. All new worlds have it, and when I reuse the seed, there's clay. But my main never got any. :(

Yeah I was too lol! I've been doing some poking around and it seems update 1.8 is going to be awesome. I read on one site that we can expect it from around mid August to mid September but that's only an estimate at this point. I want to check out this Creative mode they are talking about.

[mrgrim]

Pistons are fun but creative mode will open up large scale projects.
