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:

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?
