ERRYDAY MINECRAFT
 aka GET OUT OF MY DIG YOU DARN ANIMALS - the game
I figure it's high time I make a thread. Minecraft is a sandbox game by a swedish guy by the name of Markus Persson, aka Notch. It mixes building, exploration, resource gathering and survival in a randomly generated world where anything can be dug, destroyed and rebuilt. Collect wood, build a house, craft tools, mine rock and ore, craft better tools, defend your house from nightly mobs, build a giant castle out of glass. And sheep. The game is currently work in progress, and if you buy it now, you can play the in-development alpha that's updated about weekly with new features. There's a few different gamemodes. Creative mode gives you unlimited blocks with no health bar or mobs and is basically just a level editor where people can create all the 2D sprites they desire.   This mode is available to play for free as it hasn't been update for a long time and Notch didn't feel like removing it since it was so popular. You can play it online as well. Indev is a kind of survival mode where you create a world and need to gather material for crafting items and tools. You have a healthbar, there's a day and night cycle, and enemies that spawn during the night or in dark caves.    Infdev is the same as Indev, but with an infinite map that can go on forever. It also lacks theme options for creating a new world, but it is the most advanced mode with the most features and materials, as Indev has not been updated for a long time. Notch is planning on combining the two, so I assume sooner or later you will have the world generation options from Indev in Infdev. 
Notch is working on Infdev multiplayer, and is planning on a few other gamemodes like Zombie horde where a group defends against waves of enemies, and Dungeons and Levers where you can't build or dig, and the idea if to play through dungeons created by others, complete with traps and monsters etc. People are building some hilarious structures and bases in the game itself, but also making custom textures and player skins as well.  I made my current one~ http://www.minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=Qwarky  Some links: Main site: Minecraft Notch's blog: The Word of Notch Official forums: Minecraft Forum - Official Minecraft Forums Series of let's plays of MC to give you an idea of what it's usually like

Oh man. That cart video is the BEST EVER.
Q got me into buying this and I definitely regret it so much since. I CANNOT STOP PLAYING IT. Its that awesome. Even when you do finally mine that diamond, you STILL want to explore everywhere. You'd become mad at finding more just because you definitely could! If you liked Miner Dig Deep from XNA, you can find some serious love in this one too. Protip, shovels are great for dirt/gravel/sand. Sand/gravel will sink. Start with these in EVERY MINE, so you could definitely open up new areas in the mine and definitely find minerals beyond the dirt/gravel. Its also cost efficient too. I always go and hack away trees first til I have all 64 bits of them. Then I start my trek down the mines. I'd create 64 planks. Then create 64 sticks from it. Then create 64 torches from it. (Of course mining coal first.) Then I was set to stay down there lol til I die. Typically from lava. :\ There's nowhere I can't reach.

Love the comic.
We should see if we can't get a multiplayer creative mode running sometime. Anyone can play that, all you need is an email address. Do any of those who currently own the game have a good enough computer to run a server? I doubt it would take too much, but i don't trust my lappy not to cause major issues if i tried it. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Currently running an Opencraft server (256x256x256 flatgrass) on GFF:
Minecraft Play around a bit, see if there's any further tweaks needed. P.S.  What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

OK TIME FOR SCIENCE
The physics on the server work really weird, but I've got bridge building sussed out. Behold:  This is the treshold of a bridge, you can see where the blocks start falling. The structure below the top one makes no difference, I wanted to check if something like that would somehow support it further, but it doesn't. Any blocks added to the side actually shorten how long it can be without support. So if I added one block to the side, the bridge would be one block shorter in length where the blocks start falling.  So you put a support all the way to the ground. Now you can continue it to  this spot, again the blocks start falling.  Add another support, this is how far it goes.  Now, the weird thing about the physics is that even though you need support to build that far, you can remove the support afterward.  Like so.  And now this one. But you need to remove the supports in this order. If you remove this one first, then the one further, the bridge collapses.  Fuck yeah. Now the bridge holds walking and jumping on, but it will act like hovering sand and gravel in Alpha, as in if you attach anything or remove anything near it (without support right under it), it will collapse.  Like this.  This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'll see if I can remove the Opencraft gravity tweaks.
By the way, this is running on the GFF server, not my computer, if anyone's wondering  How ya doing, buddy? |
Blah, this is a great use of the server. But which one? .org or .com?
 Also I've made some great ruins covered in trees in the corner. It is the entrance to some very fine stairs that go all the way to the bottom of world. =) Most amazing jew boots

I made uh... several things. But like they all kinda meh in comparison.
 The slime and those two treehouse/fort in the background.   And the cactuar in the ground. I should fix its hair sometime... But yeah. I also helped Zip create that underground aquarium.  It was fine at first til I accidentally hit one of the blocks and filled the room with water. Then I had an idea of filling the room with blocks to "flush" the water out and trapping it from underneath that Zip had the idea of. Then we just topped it with a flower in it. Its just beautiful! Be sure to check it out. The red house is the well, and when you get down to the bottom, check the pink entrance to see this room and of course be CAREFUL not to break it!What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wow, suddenly Minecraft doesn't like me.
 I keep getting disconnected. Oh well, its late anyway, and I have a blast building with you guys! I asked what sprites I should make next, I'd like to keep it to 8 bit or 16 bit for easier managing. But yeah, one of these days I'll make an epic sprite somewhere.  There's nowhere I can't reach.

  I'm such a silly fan of sprites. And yes, they are the bobble, dragon, stone mario, and the Barlog! And I'm terribly lonely over here guys... I was speaking idiomatically.

Man, we never made anything half this cool with Blockland. Best we'd ever get is a giant tower going at which point someone would "accidentally" hammer the base and it would all explode.
(Also  for diss's post.)What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
