1.7 thread

[yottabyte]

Mojang changed their plans. 1.7 will be a smaller update containing pistons, fences on fences, better repeaters and shears.

1.8 will be the big adventure update. Quoting Notch's blog post:

Already implemented are new complex terrain features, at least one new mob, some interesting new combat mechanics, a new lighting engine, and some experimental new gameplay ideas. To come is more interesting farming, bigger incentives to explore, and npc villages.

Very interesting!
