Review: Minecraft's 1.8 Patch

As many, many of you will probably know, Minecraft's Adventure Update Part 1 just released (officially Minecraft v1.8). I've been building a huge castle for some time on the edge of my generated world, so decided to go exploring. I fell into a ravine first thing. Barely below the surface. Built ladders to get down. BEAUTIFUL. Reminded me of real spelunking! I killed a skeleton and lit a path to some red lighting. Looked over the ledge- lava fall near a bunch of fence, rails, and such... Abandoned mine shaft? I'd read about poison spiders, so I checked my surroundings. Nothing. Climbed down, happy as a lark. Well, I get to the bottom, and begin exploring it. I hear a spider, look around, little bugger's coming at me! I killed it with one bite, lost half my health in the process. No biggy. CREEPER! *slash stab kill*

Okay, I'll admit it, the mine shafts have me paranoid and scared. So I venture into a slightly open area, and six poison spiders jump me. I die.

Take two, I take 19 TNT with me. Lay down four, figuring to kill the spiders and blow open the shaft. Sure, one dies. But then seven or eight swarm me when I step into the hole. Yeah, I like the expansion. Endermen are just scary as all getup, trying to kill them when they swarm me. And silverfish are so adorable!
