Talk:Java Edition 1.8

Why create this page?
I am confused as to why this page was created. The Upcoming features page lists all of the new features for an upcoming update. Therefore this page is useless. 72.68.68.219 21:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. This goes on the Upcoming Features page. Also, 1.8 can be known as the Adventure Update. Dragon29 29 (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * See this topic; it's part of a plan to rework the way we list upcoming features and version history. -- Orthotopetalk 01:31, 3 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Basically, we're splitting up each version to their own page, so they're not all crammed together on the barely usable version history pages. As a side effect of that, we can create a page for a planned version, then when it comes out we just remove the planned text from the page, rather than copy the text from the upcoming features page, losing all the edit history.
 * For now, this will only apply to 1.8 and its snapshots, while we work out the best way to do this. Then it will be applied to previous versions and other editions. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 01:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

"That's Numberwang" splash
wikipedia:User:Numberwang - possible reference? His/her userpage shows the text "thats Numberwang (timestamp)."  Meeples10 t ~ c 22:04, 20 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Far more likely: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook . The TV show predates that user account's creation. -- Orthotopetalk 22:21, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Name?
I know no names have been released, but can anyone guess what do you think the update will be called. Maybe command update...? Willingham yAAOz (talk) 00:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Like you said, no official names have as yet been released. But as stated in this blog post by Mojang, the update will focus on Survival Improvements and Adventure Map Improvements.  Maybe something like, "Survival Adventure 2.0"?  I don't know; we'll have to see when it happens.  -Exhelah &middot; Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png &middot; 22:14, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
