Minecraft

[stripe103]

What I meant was a game that don't have anything you need to achieve. Or finish or something. This is just like.. Dig, build.. dig some more.. kill some mobs.. build more. and then just continues in a loop.

[Landith]

Yes but the possibilities are endless!
You can farm for wheat, make bread. Make golden apples with gold and an apple. Make a bow with string you collect from spiders.
You basically make the world whatever you want!
Want to make a rollercoaster? Minecarts.
Want to make a boat ride? Boats + buckets of water + type of boundary.
Want to make a fort that you can shoot mobs out of? Bow + Fort + holes on side.

Like you can do so much if you just use your imagination. Right now I'm mining a 50 blocks diameter circle all the way to the bottom of the minecraft world. So far I'm at 6
After I get done I'm placing glass on top so you can walk on a huge pit.

Then I'm thinking about using the materials from it to create a monument.

Btw has anyone seen the Earth someone made in Minecraft? It's incredibly epic. Here

to bad the server for that dosen't seem to be up any more or at least not available to free people

[tSwitch]

SMP isn't finished yet, but I'll be hosting a server when it is.

The point of the game, right now, is to dick around.  It's in alpha, presumably the score that you see when you die will mean something later on.

Survival Multiplayer -works- ...it's just buggy as all hell.

[Landith]

Yeah, especially the minecarts :/
You can't even place one because it bugs out and crashes the server.
I can't wait until the beta comes out and all the bugs are fixed.
Also color cloth blocks in survival would be fun so you could make different designs and color up the place.

[Vell]

health is also glitched - nothing takes damage. Better have it set to peaceful.

I second this.

Lol my PC should have been back from repairs by now.
Really like to play this game ^^

FUUUUUCK I died right underneath a mob spawner

[Landith]

Ouch :/

I got incredibly lucky one map that I spawned on sand a zombie spawner was like right below me and as soon as I spawned sand fell down and I was like WTF and it turned out to be a mob spawner. So what I did immediately was get a furnace, some coal and some sand and put torches around the mob spawner. Then I put glass all around and a door then I removed the torches, put a layer of dirt above the glass and let zombies spawn so I ended up having an infinite supply of feathers from the zombies. All I had to do was remove the layer of dirt and let the zombies burn

But unfortunately, the savefile got corrupted or something and was removed. One of the bugs in the Alpha :/
I should have backed up the map file.

Weirdest thing: a small patch of my game's world reset itself. I lost so much stuff which was in a chest in that area. I got -so- frustrated: Now I need to fix it all up and find gold, and iron again. I lost all my gold and iron. So annoying.

[element]

Soon i'll get a new PC.
I hope it runs the game.
Anyone knows how good the graphical card has to be to run this?

[Landith]

Not very good but you still need a decent computer because the java takes up so much memory. Like on my laptop I have to close everything because minecraft will run slow at ~500,000 k and my web browser takes up about 100,000-200,000 k so my computer runs slow then so just have good memory and possibly a good processor and you should be good. The graphic card can be shit. It's literally like 8-bit graphics.

That time my internet had a lot of stuff open so it was running a bit more than usual.

Also, I would like to post a screenshot of one of my to be homes:

new home?: ShowHide

TY for info

That is some epic map generation.
Lol @ snowball. Done with inv editor? or is there really snow in your map?

[Landith]

There was snow. I have like 10x 64 blocks of snow in a chest in my old house/cave thingy. IDK what happened but one day I joined my world and it wasn't snowing and the snow was gone. It kinda sucked cause I enjoyed the snow and it was my only snow world so far :/

Also I'm thinking about working on a roller coaster to wind through that mountain thing and once I'm through I'll make a youtube video of me going through it and what not. I'm thinking about making it go through my whole world if I have time.

I'll probably end up using invedit though to make things easier so I won't have to get tonss and tons more iron.

Also did the Halloween update come out yet? :/
Nevermind, just checked. Was wondering because my torches weren't going out yet but that was because he hasn't added that specific feature just yet.

[Ryex]

so I built a nether gate. it was under ground aways in a well designed gate room. I went it, climbed to a light stone formation collected a bunch of dust and left. for some reason I came out in a new gate a ways away from my base ABOVE GROUND! I use the same portal I came through why in earth did it creata a new gate? to test I went in through the new gate. I came out in the nether world from the first gate I exited the nether and came out in the new gate. then i went back to my first gate and went in. same gate in the nether world. i left and I cam out in the new gate again.

so the gate are linked like so


WTF?

[Landith]

There is bugs with the hell gates. Sometimes you go in one, come out and there isn't one behind you, etc...

[element]

You should check out the main forum.
People are freaking out becouse of all the bugs in the update, but you have to know that this game is just in alpha. There are games that are free in alpha and have lots of bugs and there are games like minecraft that cost half in alpha and have bugs.
The bugs will be fixed sooner or later.
For the Portal bug, see this:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Or even worse:

[Vell]

...How is that unlucky? It's like a free wellspring of tons of obsidian.
