So surprised there isn't a topic on this here already... Anyways, feeling autistic? Want to create something in a half finished game but still have fun? Play then. Costs 10 Euro right now, will go up to 20 when it goes into beta.

Soon it might be available on steam, Notch (creator of the game) was recently in USA for something to do with that.

Multiplayer can be lots of fun, while there's no monsters in it (yet), having item spawning powers on it can be great for creating elaborate buildings. Single player is a survival mode, has monsters of a few kinds along with various difficulties (Going from peaceful - no mobs to Hard - plenty of mobs.) There are various map/inventory editors on the forums for minecraft that allow you to do/create pretty much whatever the hell you want.

Pretty sure this has been posted before but i have to pay for something like that? D:

The last time it was mentioned, was 2009. My topic stands.

Yes, you should pay for this, it supports the developer and is cheap anyways. Better to pay now, than pay twice as much later.

I'm watching like 3 playthroughs of some pretty popular cod commentators. The game looks like real fun but I doubt that I'll play it much. I rather just see how they make insane buildings and shit.

Yup since these guys started doing playtroughs it's been like a snowball, they should seriously get paid for advertising lol they made the sales go up alot

I keep hearing about this game and Dwarf Fortress. But from your video I don't see how it's any fun... So you make tracks and ride them?

No you spawn in a randomly generated world. During the day you're safe outside to gather resources (wood/sand/dirt/food etc), when it gets dark monsters will start to spawn and you have to find a place to hide. With the recourses you can make tools like a pick axe and shovel etc, and ofcourse items like sticks/workbenches/ovens/storage chests/doors. When you have enough recourses you can look out for a mine and start to dig in it to find more precious ores/minerals etc like iron/coal/gold/diamond. With that you can make better items like idd those tracks and mine carts but you can make ALOT more with it. With all those gained recourses/items etc you can start making your own base, from scratch or you turn a mine into your base. You can even build in the sky. Look up some more vids and you'll see how much fun it can be.

When I get back I'll see if I can find a nice vid to show you.

ooo

ive seen someone in my PC class play the alpha, it looks weird :l

I've been playing the free Classic version with friends. It's pretty awesome.

I remember me and my friends dug out an entire room under this person's entire base without him realizing it. It took us several hours, but it was so funny when he found out xD

One of the most awesome builds I've seen. All this was made by one guy o.O

i have it on my pc but never got around to play it

Wasted too much time on this, now it's stale.

Deleting peoples things and digging massive tunnels that went for miles ending with a giant room with a huge swastika on the wall only stayed fun for so long.

Nice but is that single or multiplayer? Cuz in multiplayer you can just spawn blocks AFAIK, even then it's impressive.

Depends on permissions of the multiplayer server. That was built before alpha anyways.

Even if it was single player, there's mods for inventory so you can have pretty much infinite items then too.

X's vids made me play this.
So addictive o.o

That was Epic!

Thanks MrJoey, this game is crazy addictive.


Playing single player for a while now... I made stuff that put the X-system to shame

Pics or it didn't happen.

You know of a way to get SS on this?

printscreen -> paint? o.O

Here is a little something something I cooked up last night. It has rooms and a viewing station <3 and a cool star thing at the top(max height) that lights up really well... but SS suck. F SNOW LVLS!

Meh has other cool stuff too...

-This is single player survival... all that was mined.

Nice job, most of my "building" has been mined, my homes have cave after cave after cave, most of it mined by me, some of it existing mines changed to something I can use. Soon I do want to create some kind of elaborate structure on the surface.

Edit: Some of my maps...

This one I've done some fun stuff on with haxed inventory... Such as creating big TNT scars. If you look closely, you might see my small building that's right next to one of the TNT scars, it has grass on top of it and trees as well, so it can be hard to see.

My second map, I haven't really played much, I am playing legit on it, but so far all I have is a little tiny building in the middle of it lol...

My snow map, I've done no building above ground, instead I've got a huge network of caves on it. This one is going to stay underground too. There's a large forest I've created, if you find that, you might be able to see one of my 3 entrances to the cave. The other 2 are hidden by overhanging mountains.

Only thing I've done on this one, is a little bit of abusing TNT, not sure what I want to do with it, there's just too many hills.


Look at the water... That used to be an island above the waterline, now it's under the water line lol. Water Physics in the game are a bit of a fail.

i play this, it was indeed videos on youtube that got me to buy it.

Same. But I build something tall so i can locate the cave when I re-spawn.

Check my post out again. I use cartographer so I can find stuff again. Nice little map maker on the official MC forums somewhere.


Edit: Topic with the program... http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 25&t=13134

I don't get it, why would you spend time building a huge tower if your goal is to run away from the bad guys (especially in multi player).

Mwahaha I manipulated boiler into giving me his id/pw xD I played a bit and made a decent start I guess. Haven't found much iron yet though, but a shitload of coal. When ever I ran into that it was atleast a pack of 8/10 rofl xD

Because you can. And it's fun.

me and gaige has got a server up yo

Shit, makes me wish I had a less obvious name on MC, I'd totally grief that shit up.
