The Damage Indicators mod is a tool for displaying a mob or player’s health points, mainly.
The concept of the modification is pretty simple, and may seem unnecessary for some, but the small amount of change can make a big difference. In this review, I will show you the reasons why you should give Damage Indicators a try.
Flying in survival Minecraft may sound like something out of a mod, but snapshot 15w41a introduced a new item that may do just that: the Elytra. This item, a set of wings like a bug’s (Elytra are the fore wings of beetles), allows player to glide through the world, opening up all new possibilities for Minecraft players.
Mojang released the new updated 1.8 version of Minecraft a few weeks ago, and there are quite a few things we are all excited about. From armor stands to flags, and new doors to Ocean/Water temples, 1.8 is a feature packed update with tons of new adventures to take, items to craft, and so on. Minecraft rabbits are one of the new mobs added to Minecraft; they are quite the elaborate addition.
The new Minecraft rabbit has 6 natural variants, with one variant obtained using a name tag and one hostile variant, bringing the grand total to 8 variants possible. New drops include rabbit hide, the rare rabbit foot, and food types (raw and cooked rabbit). Rabbit stew will be the second kind of stew added to Minecraft and has been added as part of the 1.8 update.

Toast is obtained using a nametag renamed “toast”, or a spawn egg renamed “toast”. The Killer Bunny has a change of 1 in 1000 in spawning, and is hostile.
Minecraft rabbits can be bred by using carrots, golden carrots, and dandelions. When a bunny is bred, it is always the color of one of its parents. When taming a Minecraft rabbit, it uses the same mechanics as any other tamable mob. You feed them carrots until they no longer take carrots. Rabbits exhibit the same breeding patterns as pigs. Untamed rabbits behave in similar to those of ocelots. If you move towards a minecraft rabbit too fast, it will get scared and run away. Hold a carrot in your hand, hold shift, and they will come to you.
Minecraft rabbits are a very interesting new feature added to 1.8, and I am very happy they were added. The addition of Minecraft rabbits bring new food, potions, and companions. Minecraft rabbits are one of the many features that have been added to 1.8, and they will bring a great new experience to Minecraft.
In the upcoming 1.8 update, Mojang will be introducing the new Ocean Monuments. Highly requested, the monuments will make ocean exploring a lot more interesting. They will be the only place to find some of the new content 1.8 has to offer, so make sure you are ready to face the endless blueness of the Minecraft oceans to find the rare Ocean Monuments!

Do you like building? Getting bored of what minecraft supplies you to make your creations? Well, look forward to the 1.8 update which adds many great blocks that you can use to add detail to some of your builds. These new blocks will brighten up your builds and add small details that will catch the eye to make your build look amazing!
First a good thing to mention about something we’ve been waiting for ages for would be the addition of the ability to craft chiseled stone brick(circle stone), mossy stone bricks and cracked stone brick. These sought after blocks were previously only available in generated structures, now with the easy accessibility of them they are now more survival friendly building blocks.
