Minecraft 1.8: The Bountiful Update Guide
« on: 4 Sep 2014, 23:11:07 »
So now that Minecraft 1.8 is officially out, I decided a guide would be a good thing to do, seeing as there is quite a bit of new stuff, and since it is such a big update, this guide will help categorize and explain all the new stuff.


NEW MOBS
There are three new mobs in this update: Guardians, Elder Guardians, and Rabbits. Now a Rabbit is self explanatory, since they're a real animal. But what are Guardians and Elder Guardians? These new mobs spawn underwater in a new type of dungeon called an Ocean Monument. These temples are made of a new block called Prismarine, and all of this stuff I'll go over farther down in the post.

First is a Guardian. Guardians are giant one-eyed pufferfish. They guard the Ocean Monuments. They randomly grow spikes and retract them, and the arguably coolest/scariest and most deadly part about them: they shoot laser beams out of their eye. Here is a picture of a guardian close up: (on the right side of the picture is a Guardian with its spikes out)


Next is an Elder Guardian. These are like the Enderdragon to the Endermen. They are the leaders of the Guardians in the monument. There are anywhere from 1-4 Elder Guardians per temple, all of which must be killed in order to get the treasure inside of the monument. Not only do these Elders have more deadly attacks and much more health than a Guardian, but they cause a special effect called "Mining Fatigue III", which will cause the playing to not be able to mine anything in the dungeon. The power has a 50 block radius, and the Elder will put a wave out of the mining fatigue once every minute. Here is a picture of one:

(Neither of these mobs will take suffocation damage when out of water - the only way to kill them is with sword or bow or whatever you use as a weapon)

Finally in the mobs section is a Rabbit. There are multiple variations of fur color, but they are all pretty much the same. When killed, these mobs drop a Rabbit's Foot that can be used in Rabbit Stew and a Jump Boost Potion! First there's the normal bunny rabbit:


...and then there's this rabbit, the red-eyed hostile rabbit, dubbed "The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog" by the Mojang dev team as a joke/reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail:



Note: More will be coming soon, this is a large post, so I'm doing it in intervals. Hopefully within the next week I will have this guide finished. Thanks :)
