There's a bunch of bugs, but that's to be expected. Consider it an early testing release so that the proper 1.8 release will be better.

Also, Endermen = meh, unfortunately :no:

[Kyle A]

They were planning on releasing 1.8 today, I wonder if they will be with all these bugs.

The world generator seems to generate boring worlds now as well.

Got enough reeds?

It's something to keep the endermen busy.

water shader update

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

What map renderer are you using? I used to use c10t, but it hasn't been updated since 1.6 or something.

So how much more "gamey" is 1.8?

I always said I would join in the Minecraft craze if 1.8 actually added some substance to survival mode.
