The Adventure Update was a major update to Minecraft, with its content being implemented in Beta 1.8 and Minecraft 1.0. The update focused on fighting, exploration, and adventuring, as well as other new aspects. It was announced on June 10, 2011 by Notch and planned to be initially implemented in beta 1.7.[1] An early version of the Adventure Update was playable by fans at Mojang's booth at PAX Prime, which was held between August 26th and 28th.[2] Because of the size of the content, the first part of the update was pushed back to beta 1.8, which became available on September 14, 2011 and the rest of the update being part of Minecraft 1.0, which was released on November 18, 2011. The Pre-Releases of Minecraft beta 1.8 and 1.9 were leaked before the official releases and Notch approved these leaks on his twitter[3].

新漏洞:

Critical reception
Because so many things were added and changed in Beta 1.8, it was heavily criticized.[6] One of the most criticized changes is the new terrain generation. If you load an old world and explore new chunks, the world can become corrupted, causing large walls of land to generate where new and old chunks meet, and caves to abruptly stop and start.[7] This also means that old seeds will not work.
Another criticized feature is the Hunger system, which makes the game more challenging because hunger goes down at a rate considered by some players to be too fast. Other things include non-hostile mobs running away when you hit them, making the collection of materials more difficult.
Some people also claim that the game has become too complicated, and that is more of a combat/survival game rather than the simple construction game of the earliest versions, but others praise the increase in features that make the game more exciting and allow the player to go on challenging adventures or exploration.
On the other hand, many players approve the inclusion of Creative Mode, a game mode similar to earlier versions of Minecraft with more of a building emphasis.
