itt we minecraft

why don't the trees fall down when you chop them

I don't understand why they don't, because the sand blocks fall when the blocks underneath them are removed.

this game is dead to me

apparently the guy who made this game has made millions off of it in a really short timespan

no matter how many of these videos i watch (especially the circuitry ones) i still don't understand wtf is going on

just bought this game after seeing this youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnjSWPxJxNs

dude obviously spent hours and hours working on that house only to accidentally burn it to the ground loll

pretty hysterical yes, but still don't understand wtf is going on

the 16 bit alu one especially i watched really fascinated and totall lost

It seems to basically be like a Sims/Simcity/Dungeon Keeper hybrid. Would that cover it?

Wait, I already said that lol.

tbf i don't think i really want to get this cuz then i'm gonna play it

I'm not going to buy it either - I wasted enough time dicking around with the free single player version.

I can attest, this game has the ability to keep you up til 3am...

...fucking around with Java trying to get the free, in-browser version to work on Ubuntu.

gave up, instead just watched youtube videos of it and read a related thread on metafilter... \O_o/

uh just dreamt that I was playing Lego Minecraft.

this game is amazing

ive been really into this lately heh

It just occurred to me that this is the one game where you can literally beat griefers with sticks.

Game is such a pain in the ass until you get coal. Usually not a problem but sometimes shit doesn't pan out and you're stuck huddling in the dark for like 4 day cycles. Booooooooo.

If you can't find coal, you can provide some light by either burning wood in a furnace or setting blocks of wood on fire with flint and steel; be careful with the latter because the fire can jump to other flammable things within range, like the walls of my first house.

so it was discovered that the developer of popular multiplayer server software 'mcadmin' put a backdoor in his server to give him god mode on ANY server running mcadmin. his reaction? FURSECUTION!!!

vv i found this awesome displayname in the dissassembled mcadmin source code

Dreamt that I was making Molotov cocktails in Minecraft...

Famous last words... This game has taken up a lot of my free time in the last month.
Actually I just used an inventory cheat, which is the usual signal that I'm done with a game. At least for the moment anyway. I did give it a good send off, packing the tunnels of my minetrain with TNT and then blowing it all sky high so there was a huge rift in the ground with water pouring in from the sides. That's something that the game's website doesn't really mention - the possibility for causing massive devastation. Picking my way through what had been a 3x3 tunnel was just awe inspiring.

Just when you think you've got away from this game, it sucks you right back in again...

this game is fun! been playing it a lot lately. though i admit i'm a sucker for any game that uses procedurally generated worlds

also it seems like it's super-scalable, as in, he hasn't even come close to maxing out the amount of terrain types, craftable items, monsters, etc before the game would start to feel overstuffed. it still seems pretty barebones to me.

Jesus, that Zelda world is insane

...and yet empty

well bye bye productivity...
1.2 Beta updates

so i've only just come across this, not played it yet, but it looks mightily interesting. anyone still play it?

do you play it online with other people, or is it better to start on yer own?

i haven't played it in a month or so but it's still fun, especially if you can get a few friends in on it and run a multiplayer server. it's the type of game where you have to create your own fun though since it only takes about 30 minutes to master all the survival stuff and then it's just about exploring/building/whatever

my only interest in this game is watching griefing vids on youtube

I still play this sometimes. My PC is p-slow though, frame rate drops off whenever there's a big hole in the ground.

Ok, i'm now hooked on this

I volunteer at a middle school and a whole bunch of kids have gotten way into this. Which is awesome, because 4 weeks ago they just played shitty Flash games from adult swim over and over in 'lab time'.

This game is still eating up a huge chunk of my time.

i never got around to trying this, might do tonight.

what's the addiction?

You can build whatever you want (if you can get the materials). You fight monsters. It's possible to devise your own machines to automatically kill mobs. There's the exploration of a procedurally generated world which can be vast.
Basically I knew I was hooked when I was digging directly underneath me (never do this BTW) and fell down the hole into a huge cavern. From there I explored a huge underground cave network, not really knowing where the hell I was, until I came across a vertical shaft. I looked up and saw... daylight! Building a staircase up the shaft, I reached the surface and managed to navigate my way back to my base. It was one of those "wow awesome" moments that games often strive for but rarely deliver.

It's the fun of building or tunneling out something extravagant, then getting bored and either flooding it or setting it on fire.

I want them to institute muskets and horses next.

tangentially related at best, but one of the Facebook pages I run for work gets fucking SLAMMED with spam offering free Minecraft accounts to gullible tools who hand over their FB logins/personal info/god only knows what else. like at one point a few months ago we had 18,000 inbound referrals to our page just from ONE scam site, and there are like 5-8 of them active at any given moment.

The 1.4 beta test vids with the new "wolfies" look amusing.

i think i understand the concept of this game. what i don't understand is why the graphics are so exaggeratedly crude.

you know one (1) guy does all the coding right

Does anyone else think Minecraft has peaked and that $2B is an astonishing overvaluation? Minecraft was mentioned on Coronation Street the other night FFS.

Sale confirmed.

Minecraft has kind of peaked- I'm expecting it to be Angry Birds'd in whatever way it already is not.

It's possible there's more growth top - it's still pretty amazing how far this game has gotten with like zero paid promotion (at least before it hit Xbox)

Microsoft clearly read the same article I did, which argued that Minecraft isn't a game it's an "entertainment platform." Browsing through YouTube you can certainly see how this argument could be made.

Personally, I suspect the underlying codebase is far too rickety to become much more of a slick, DLC crossplatform in-app purchase multimedia streaming entertainment platform than it already is—I'm paraphrasing someone else—"Notch's main achievement wasn't Minecraft itself, it was getting the Java programming language to do that."

The degree of success Minecraft has achieved may have as much to do with rise of the YouTube gaming video as an "art form."

I wonder how much money Microsoft already made on Xbox Arcade copies of Minecraft?

The common line I've heard is that Microsoft have paid the money to purchase a 'generation of gamers' IE everyone sub-teen.

It's too cold to do anything this weekend so I downloaded this again after having not played it for over six months. WTF is this all this diorite etc. everywhere?

Not familiar with that one, not played vanilla mc for a long time

Just swung my sword at a rabbit and it made an "eeeep!" noise, then it fell off a mountain and died with "eeeeeetthhhhhrrrp!" sound. I felt like Hitler. Sometimes I wonder if this game was secretly designed by Morrissey. In my defence, I was on top of a snow covered mountain and really hungry. Elsewhere, I was digging in an abandoned mine when a skeleton fell through a hole in the ceiling and I nearly shat myself.

I've been messing around with the Fossils and Archeology mod. So far I've grown a tiny dino and have a baby Brachiosaurus which has now started to eat my hedges.

so playing with my godson today, we built a tree house out of Jukeboxes. It had a gold floor and four poster bed. In the back there was a christmas tree, grand piano, ironing board, and some barrels.

Green juice flowed down from the house to the ground, where an enclosure was created to house the dozens of baby dinosaurs we'd hatched.

And we had a scattering of pirate wives spawned in for good measure.

Neat resource pack, though are those custom trees off to the left?

They're part of either Forestry, Bibliowoods, or Biomes O Plenty mods. Not sure, there's hundreds of mods in this pack (Resonant Rise)

Does anyone itt still minecraft?

Tweens?

now i am imagining that itt means "in their tweens"

but srsly, i haven't in a while but i keep thinking about picking it up again. it was always fun to goof aorund w/ while doing other stuff on my pc. i wonder if a lot has changed?

They've added a whole ton of content continuously. The game is still a pretty great mapmaking tool. Shame the young demographic association overshadows everything else!

if i had nothing else to do, this would own me I'm sure.

I get the (rather lovely I must say) ambient tunes from this stuck in my head all the time, thanks to the stepkids and bf constantly playing the darn thing. Their latest project is making a replica JurassicWorld.

Yeah I still minecraft.

My godson recently obtained it for his xbox, and its the first time I've ever played it 'multiplayer' (just the two of us anyway), and really enjoyed the share-building aspect of it. Good fun.

By myself I still jump into pc version using the ATI launcher yogpack mods, very easy to set up, because y'know - tons of extra blocks.

I still play vanilla minecraft from time to time. Normally I spend most of my time digging out tunnels for an elaborate underground minecart network. It's just very relaxing way to spend time. When a new release comes out I go on little adventures to acquire all the new blocks. There's a new release due soon I believe.
I tried online multiplayer but it wasn't cooperative enough for my liking - just a bunch of strangers doing their own thing. I suppose it would be different if you were playing among friends.

the share-building part is the best part! the last time i played a bunch was when some coworkers set up a server on the work network and we could build stuff together/more specifically build our own cool things near each other and then see the other person's stuff and kinda get jealous of it.

Have jumped back into project ozone this month. ridiculous modpack which does away with mining, and instead you gotta either sieve through dirt, grow, magically conjure, or just get real damn lucky with mob-loot drops, to obtain valuable stuff.

This is a long term world which I play every xmas. Last night I finally constructed a portal gun, which works way better than I expected it would.
