Well, the old Minecraft thread died out a while ago, so I thought I'd start another one. That, and it seemed like the perfect time with 1.3 coming out sometime this week.

For those of you who don't know, Minecraft is the creation of Markus Persson, and is a game world made entirely out of blocks, and inspired by infiniminer. Classic version is just a basic block building game, while the Beta version includes Survival multiplayer and singleplayer, which involves collecting resources, surviving, and building whatever structures you can imagine. The game is very Open-ended, which is what attracts many people to it. I honestly believe that you need to play the game for yourself to understand why it's so amazing.

So yeah. Feel free to discuss Minecraft on this thread.

I've been working on a new world recently, and here's what I've managed to build so far

I got a gift code for the game from a friend for Christmas, and quite enjoy the game. =) I play it on and off though - sometimes I'm stuck right into it and others I distract myself with other things. =p I have a few worlds going on - my first one I recently found a cavern in, another I spawned outside an open spider dungeon (._.) and a third is full of clay and weird mountains and a lot of stuff... a rather stange and lucky generation of things in that one. I'm also on two server worlds.

I haven't done much in single player, but the multiplayer server I play on is excellent. It's... hard to go back.

...If any of you want to check it out, it's called Herocraft, has it's own forums at herocraftonline.com. Lots of server mods, There's a town/kingdom system and money system, staff is friendly, I'm a mayor who needs people to come work for me.... :P But really, if you're looking for a good SMP server, I'd suggest this one.

I do wish you didn't need to be whitelisted. I understand why, but I can't be bothered signing up and everything and would prefer to at least get to see what the place is like first. I've never really been on a good SMP server, the one I've had a go at was always empty.

I agree with you there, I wish they gave non-whitelisted people the ability to log in and look around. If you look around the Townships, there are some good screens of wide civilized areas, and the place is, literally, never empty. It's 2500 blocks in each direction from spawn, so you won't always see anyone, but it's never empty.

I started playing Minecraft last summer, since then I've taken a break, but I started playing again in January on a multiplayer server. Our 'village' isn't all that impressive since we haven't been on the server long, but here's some thing I've made.

Huge sheep statue. The picture really doesn't do it justice for how big it actually is.

A creeper statue on top of my house. Also a crappy helicopter I tried making to the left.

I started playing this... a week ago? I've been playing by myself, so I'm still in the midst of trying to figure out what does what exactly. XD

I bought my brother an account aaaages ago and didn't buy one for myself since I hadn't been able to see the appeal. :( And I finally played around with it the other night and I still don't. It just seems way too tedious to bother with for me. I love grinding and stuff in most games but gathering materials and then actually building things (like some of what I'm seeing in this thread *_*) just seems like it'd take absolutely forever and I didn't like what I played enough to try.

My brother did force me to try out some "escape" map someone made? He had to mostly hold my hand the whole way since I didn't really know how to make everything but I had a lot of fun with that and would totally be on board if there were a lot more where it came from. :O I think I sort of view it as LittleBigPlanet-ish. I've never been big on making my own levels or anything but I love seeing what other people can do. u_u;

For those of you who don't see the point of it, you should try playing online. It gives everything you're doing a lot more purpose. You really have to find the right server though. They're definitely not created equal.

The one I play on is pvp centered, but not random spawnkilling over and over like all of the other pvp servers. We actually form groups and alliances, and build towns, and have wars etc.

Minecraft really is amazing. I absolutely love it. Only problem is finding a good server. I thought I found a good one a few days ago, and it was awesome, until a group of players who joined who would camp right on the edge of no PVP areas (namely spawn) and would then kill anybody who walked out. Rather annoying.

I'm still looking for a server. Let me know if you find a good one, Broc.
so what server does every one play on? maybe we should all join forces on 1 server!
server.space-monsters.com is the one I play on.

I'd recommend just starting like you would in a normal singleplayer game (preferably a fair distance from spawn) until you make some friends, then join forces with them. Also, it's big on PVP, but if you get enough gold/diamonds you can make a protection block, and no one else will be able to build/destroy in the area you place it in. That's what allows us to have pvp, and not fall to just pointless spawn killing.

I'm currently unaffiliated with any of these powers, so if enough of you wanna play, we can make a town of our own. I'm one of the richer players in the server, so we'll have plenty of resources.



Oh, and people will steal your stuff. So, make sure to hide it well, until you're able to get protection blocks.

ain't that a kick in the head?

@Alex - are you guys using moontrain's Lucid Pack texture pack? It looks like it, and it's the one I use all the time :P


OT: I've been playing Minecraft since December (but have known about it since August) and it's currently my favorite game.
I'd post pics of my residence, but I move around a lot and therefore don't build very elaborate houses. My current house is a small plank & glass home on a small sandy island cluster.
Lately i've been getting bored with the game. I'm running out of things that I want to do. I've tried playing around with redstone but it's pretty complicated and just not interesting enough to me.

That would be awesome. Maybe the next time a big PC get-together comes around somebody could host a server and have events there. Or maybe we could have an event just in Video Games.

I'd volunteer to host, but I don't want to use the family computer (read: the ONLY computer), especially as it's already sort of strained.

As far as texture packs, I like Xenocontendi. 16x16, a tad muted with HUD/GUI redone. Everything is still elemental enough to tell what it is at a glance, but it's much easier on the eyes.
