Part one, 1.8 could be by end September!

Minecraft on earth

These pictures remind me of mindcraft!

Some great build ideas.

If you get a chance, head over to the castle, church and town that Tony is building... Very nice work.

View from the road... Epic

I did not know we had a King!

Stained glass window looks great

View of Inn and Castle from the roof of Church

I think Tony is on the right track and will have a town on par with these videos....

Castle Lividus

Airport

HMS Titanic

That reminds me, Tony was talking of building a ship... here is an idea for you!

Ship building (with Mod) 

More 1.8 Rumors... Did I mention I am excited about this update?

Endermen in the house!

Size is better displyed in this screen shoot... not near as big looking.
Still no information on the Endermen attack strength.

Posted on the wiki that NPC villages my have Pigmen living in them.
Not to be confused with Zombie Pigmen.

Sneek Peek at 1.8 Adventure Update Part 2

Oh boy, I cant seem to contain myself.  More leek of 1.8 (SPOILER ALERT!)

NPC (non player character) villages... No word of NPCs to live in them. I would think they would be like the Pig-men... passive until attacked.
Giant red mushrooms?

NPC village

Ruins! Guessing gateways to caves and dungons!

Did I say I am soooo excited for the update?
