'''1.8-pre1''' is the first pre-release for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.8]], released on August 22, 2014,<ref name=":0">{{Cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140822113047/https://www.mojang.com/2014/08/minecraft-1-8-pre-release-the-bountiful-update/|title=Minecraft 1.8 Pre-release – The Bountiful Update|author=Jens Bergensten|website=Mojang.com|date=August 22, 2014}}</ref> which adds new alternative skin named '[[Minecraft:Alex]]' and fixes bugs.

== Trivia ==
* 1.8-pre1 was previously removed from the [[Minecraft:launcher]] for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
* Alex's name is depicted with a "?" at the end, a reference to how Steve's name was written by [[Minecraft:Markus Persson|Notch]] as a joke.<ref name=":0" />
