Im sure you Minecraft Addicts know by now, but the Minecraft Beta 1.8 Adventure Update was released for download this morning not long ago. If you play on my server YAMS (Yet Another Minecarft Server) please remember to read the latest info here:

I will update the server to 1.8 as soon as bukkit is released and I’ve had time to implement it with the correct plugins. 🙂
