Minecraft
 

Any Minecraft players out there?
Use this thread to post pictures of your builds!!!

A couple friends and I have a server, if any CA members want to join shoot me a PM.

This game is very addicting, a bit nerdy but I can look past that.
I love architecture and enjoy trying to build things.

Here are a few older pics from recent maps we had:

Re: Minecraft
 

A buddy was telling me about this yesterday, might have to download it soon

Re: Minecraft
 

Let me know if you do and we will stack some blocks in the name of CA!!!:r
I have had way to much coffee today, typing at the speed of light!!!!!!!!!

Re: Minecraft
 

Is it fun? I thought it looked intriguing.

Re: Minecraft
 

Yes, I give it a 6 out of 10 in the fun department but it has something special about it that keeps you wanting more. The low res graphics just work for the game play. My favorite part is just building things but there is much more you can do.

It's kind of like advanced legos meet RPG.
I don't like RPGs but I love this game.

Re: Minecraft
 

I need to read more on it. I have slow internets, how does this run? Also is there a purpose/objective?

Feed me moar

Re: Minecraft
 

There isn't really a predefined objective. It's very sandboxy. Playing locally doesn't require much of an internet connection (it "phones home" when you start up, but that seems to be it.)

However, in the last couple versions they started adding little rpg elements. There's XP now (so you can level, but it doesn't affect anything yet.) There are (currently empty) towns, mines and a couple fortresses kicking around. I think I read something about them introducing NPCs in 1.9 (which can't be too terribly far away.)

Though now that Skyrim's out :p

Re: Minecraft
 

I love Minecraft (especially multiplayer) and since I dont have skyrim...LOL

All my builds were on a multiplayer server that hasn't been updated... and probably never will.

Re: Minecraft
 

It is only in beta form currently but if you purchase the beta for cheap, you get the gaem for free upon release. It is a game with no real rules or directions. You can play it however you choose. You can explore amazing computer generated landscapes or mine for unique building materials, you can run around killing animals or hunt bad guys at night. You can design the look of your character, mine is batman with a ginat BS on my back. You can build anything you can imagine. You can collect objects and turn them into better objects or tools.

Best way to describe it is a free play low res addicting game!

Look at some videos online, to get a little feel for it.
If you take the plunge PM me and I will get you onto my MP survivor server:tu
I will even give you a diamond tool kit and some supplies to get started!

Re: Minecraft
 

By the way, the full release is on Friday. so if you want it cheap, do it now.

Re: Minecraft
 

I'm guessing your server is a creative server? Shoot me the info via PM, I'd be interested in checking it out :)

Re: Minecraft
 

It is a survivor server currently, alot of people got bored and wanted some additional challenge so it was switched and reset. We have a nice little town so far with a nice train car system.

I'll send a PM with the info!

Actvity is a little slow right now due to everybody playing MW3 though.

Re: Minecraft
 

Anybody from the Minecraftaholics MP server gonna be online tonight?
Time?

I have some gifts to give out!

Re: Minecraft
 

I hopped on a little bit ago to check it out. Got a call and had to quit out, but I'll try to hop back on this afternoon. Dunno if I'll be on this evening though

Re: Minecraft
 

Well let me know when you get back on and I will pop in and award you.
I have a meeting in 1.5 hours so it would have to be before that.

Re: Minecraft
 

Now is good, give me a min and I'll be on. I think I'm on spawn island.

Re: Minecraft
 

Got dc'd, but got a call at the same time, so I'll hop back on later. Thanks for the tour and stuffs :)

Re: Minecraft
 

Well I had to go, Adam if you get to sheep town I have a chest with a starter kit for you on the top floor of my house!

Re: Minecraft
 

OOOOO sheep town. I will try and get on this afternoon, I am leaving the office now. Interested to see if the internet down here is even fast enough to do this. Last time I ran a speed test I was running at a blazing 100kb/s. That is .1mb/s. :td

Re: Minecraft
 

Anybody upgrade to 1.0 and play any yet?

Re: Minecraft
 

Well I upgraded yesterday. Just created a new world to see what was up and haven't really noticed anything different from Jeb's 1.9 "release".

Re: Minecraft
 

Yeah, haven't noticed anything different from the 1.9.3 pre-release. Need to figure out the whole enchantment thing.

Re: Minecraft
 

I Didn't update because I'm waiting for it to be secure for our server. If you update right away you can't get onto the minecraftaholics server until bukkitt is secure. Usually takes about a week.

Re: Minecraft
 

Yeah, updated on one compy but left the other 1.8 because your server and mine are both still there :)

Re: Minecraft
 

*facepalm*

I updated.

Re: Minecraft
 

I can email you the 1.8 jar if you want...shoot me a PM with your email addy

Re: Minecraft
 

Internet is to slow for me to play during peak hours here. I will have to try during lunch.

I do have a question regarding the play in browser option. Is everything done in the browser? Does it download anything to your system? Thanks guys.

Re: Minecraft
 

The In browser one will not DL anything to your system.

Re: Minecraft
 

The browser uses local files stored in the folder (windows 7) \users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft where it stores your settings and world files. If you download the actual minecraft.exe it uses the same folder/world saves as you would if you were playing it in browser, the difference being that you're not using an active internet connection.

Re: Minecraft
 

Ya know, I take it back. I created a new world and noticed a couple things (that may have been missing because I had a huge 1.7 world.)

Villages with NPCs (though they seem to do nothing.)
An awful lot more achievements (brewing o.O?)

Re: Minecraft
 

minecraft... *sigh* oh how I have missed thee.

Longtime minecraft addict. I bought it in Alpha over a year ago, and I play off and on in concentrated spurts.

My friends and I used to run our own little private creative turned survival server. My pixel art and decoration designs always sucked, and I was only average at redstone... but I was a minecart wizard, I could build boosters and stations out of minecarts that defied the already warped laws of minecraft physics and would make your head spin... it was a thing of beauty... and then notch re-wrote the minecarts around the same time my friends started getting bored with their server.

I moved on to a TRUE survival ANARCHY server, public, complete with griefing etc. gone were the days of building... now I had a new system to learn - how to hide my things so nobody would steal them, living like a rat in a hole in cleverly camouflaged caves deep within the earth... I suppose you could say that I still play that server, although I am proud to say I've now been minecraft free for 3 months now. The last time i played in earnest was 1.7.3 ... before the combat mechanisms changed, and before enchantments!

Which is all a long winded way to say that I'm due to play it again... ASSUMING I don't buy SWTOR... So hello there. I'm a minecraft addict. And I may well see all of you on there soon :tu

Re: Minecraft
 

hmmm, ran across this on the Android market and thought they were pretty interesting. I'm not the type to play minecraft on my phone, but maybe you are ;)

world explorer - import/export levels from minecraft and play them on phone.

Re: Minecraft
 

I have the free version on my iphone. It works well, a bit less complicated than on the computer but still fun.

Re: Minecraft
 

this one claims to do the one thing the 'official' minecraft phone versions don't - allow you to play official minecraft maps from the desktop! now all it needs it online play :)

Re: Minecraft
 

I just started playing, still trying to figure everything out, spending my nights in caves and just running around in the daylight

Re: Minecraft
 

Haha that's how it all starts. Do you know how to build a crafting table and craft? You should watch a youtube video. I think it is called surviving your first night on Minecraft!:tu

Re: Minecraft
 

Yeah, I'm playing in the mode that gives you everything to start with, just getting accustomed to the controls on my MacBook, I'll start again from scratch in a bit. I did see that video, and a few others :tu

Re: Minecraft
 

Are you on the Minecraftaholics server?
If not and you are interested, PM me!

Re: Minecraft
 

Still not updated, man this secure release is taking for ever!

Re: Minecraft
 

Haha, I'm trying to wait patiently. My lil bro and I are chomping at the bit!

Re: Minecraft
 

The Minecraftaholics server has a stable update now fellas. All of you that are registered on there can now join up online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Minecraft
 

Still waiting on the info, but once I get it I'm in :tu

Re: Minecraft
 

I'll get it to you! Let me know when it arrives please.

Re: Minecraft
 

Still nothing Shane, did you send me a PM here or at minecraftaholics?

On another note, I did discover some diamonds today, not a huge amount, but enough to craft a couple tools. :banger

Re: Minecraft
 

Hmm it will be on Minecraftaholics. Let me check again!
You have to be added to the safe list to access the server, I just texted the Admin that does this.
He is doing it now!

Re: Minecraft
 

Thanks, just got the info!

Re: Minecraft
 

:tu

Re: Minecraft
 

I'm playing now on the 'holics server

Re: Minecraft
 

I will jump in and say hello!

Re: Minecraft
