Minecraft is a sandbox construction game created by Markus Persson, the game is currently in pre release alpha. Minecraft development started around the 10th of May 2009, pre-orders for the full game started being accepted on the 13th of June.

The game involves players creating and destroying various types of blocks in a three dimensional environment. The player takes an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork across the various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes.

Mobs
Creepers are the green monsters that explode. Stay away from them, or use a bow!
Skeletons fire arrows at you. Strafe them and hit them with your sword!
Spiders are dangerous due to their jumping range and long hit range. They're harmless in daytime, though. Don't hit them!
Zombies are slow, albeit dangerous. Kill them easily by hitting them, going back, and repeating.
Ghasts are the **** your **** up kind of things. They float and fire fireballs at you, kill them by hitting the balls back at them.

LBPC server you ask? That one is currently kept from the public to prevent any more griefers.

It's annoying how rare rain and thunderstorms are in the minecraft world, so here's a way to force them to happen!

Firstly, download NBTedit
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=7868

Launch the program and locate the world of your choice at:
C:Users*Username*AppDataRoaming.minecraftsav es

Open the world folder and select the level.dat inside.

http://i.imgur.com/WQLcP.png

You should be presented with this screen, simply change the values of raining or thundering from 0 to 1 to enable them. The rainTime and thunderTime values also affect how long the weather will last, setting them to something like 999999999 will make the weather almost permanent.

Hopefully I've explained this well enough for people to understand, enjoy!

A Demo of Minecraft! (http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/19/download-the-minecraft-demo/)
*90 Minutes of playtime, your world will then be locked and you'll have to either buy the game or start a new game

awful houses I know, but I've never been great at making stuff on it, but it's loads of fun

if anyone wants me to post pics of the server of my old gang (it's now dead), ask me, it's sexy.

use sponge if you're exploring caves, because sponge prevents water from flowing trough

wanna meet on a server?

controls are beneath the game window
but to help you...

use your mouse scroller to switch between blocks on your "bar". press B to change that block to another type.
left mouse is delete a block, right click and left mouseclick becomes placing a block.
you'll get used to it

So, basically, what's the point of this game/sim/thing? I checked it out, but I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing... Care to enlighten me?2009-10-21 00:09:00

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing... Care to enlighten me?

Just let your imagination run wild!

Dig some caves and find a secret underground lake, build a mansion or a castle, maybe even an underground city!
Some people go as far as creating huge landscapes with complex castles, villages and landmarks.

It's just like a 3D canvas really, explore it and do something crazy

I've worked on 2 levels so far

The first is DexIsland:
http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?user=Dexiro&id=0

That includes a really cool mansion that took ages to make, and an unfinished tower in the distance.
I wanted the tower to be like some superstructure looming over the island but i was apparently really near to the vertical limit already.

DexWorld:
http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?user=Dexiro&id=1

Is a much bigger level that i'm working on!
I thought i'd start off with a nice floating cliffside village, and i'm thinking about branching off an underground city near to it.
The floating houses are colour coded for some reason, and the rooms below water level are awesomecakes!

I'll probably only be working on DexWorld from now on but i thought i'd list the other one because it took so long to make that mansion xD

Dex, that first world is amazing. Mansion=DO WANT! It's too bad the tower couldn't be bigger. Sounds like you had some great stuff going there.2009-10-21 20:30:00

The docks quite easy to miss, when i enter the mansion i find the balcony to enticing not to climb

The dock has a little cave with an underwater lake that i found too

Arh! I just got attacked by lava in my underwater tunnel system

De-lava'ing tunnels is REALLY difficult, but it makes really nice underfloor heating in the end, go check it out!

These must be the hardest things to create in this game, lava is really difficult to work with.

Awesome!!!

I dug my lava tunnel in a straight line and it opened up into an even bigger lava cave!
I'm just sort of improvising and it's turning out really nice xD

edity edit:
Just spent ages fixing stuff and it's finally back on track

It's the DexWorld level if you want to check it out, lots of cave to explore

Hey, that's cool, Dex. I'm working on a house on one side of the world over there in the woods. I'm thinking about making a treehouse, too. Maybe as an extension of the ground house.2009-10-23 23:27:00

The server is offline at the moment, i think if it's offline it switches you to single player and randomly generates a map

When it's online you get a "Welcome to the LBPC server" message and when you go to the menu save/load are greyed out.

Like i said i'm sure Oldage will post here when it's back online

Ok, here's my experiences with this game.

I got the game gifted to me, and play the indev a lot. I even have a blog about it (minelife.tumblr.com) that was featured on the developer's blog! (notch.tumblr.com).
I see that oldage is quite active as well.
People called griefers seem to always be on servers, but just ignore and ban them ans all is well.

I like this game... more than... LittleBigPlanet. Yeah. It has a growing, great community like this one, and constant updates. It's so fun to play.

After finding out Lava glowed I decided to be smart, build a roof made from Glass and put lava over it so it lights my house and looks epic.
I try it and it didnt work, I then try to put water on that lava, and well.... the end result is a house that is half full of lava and half full of water,

reminds me of the time I started a forest fire in minecraft. I was chopping down trees for so i could get planks for my fort, and I burned down the leaves with flint. Well, one time when I did it, it caught to another tree. Then another, and two more..
I was panicking and chopping down leaves like crazy, and somehow contained it. Boy was it stressful

Putting a price on indie games is pathetic.

Are you serious?

ONE guy takes 100's of hours of hard work out of his own free time to make a genuinely great game, and you think it's pathetic that he's putting a small price tag on it just so he can make a living?

Not to mention you get a massive chunk of the game for free already. It'd only the RPG features that you pay for.

Yes I am serious, to me an indie game should be free, I think its very pathetic that he makes a living by spending 100s of hours making a game without a job...
Its an awesome game though

Your FACE is pathetic lololol

jk. No its not by the way. After all the hard work, they deserve some money.

EDIT: At first he had a job, but then the game started bringing in enough money. Wasn't LittleBigPlanet an indie game? Should IT be free?

If someone dedicated their time to make a game that cant be garunteed to be hit. Spending 100's of hours to make it. Having no money to pay for food, gasoline, bills, etc.
Basically giving everything they have to make a game.. I think it is pathetic, as long as he has some money he can make its alright but no job and all that is.... yea.

Also, does that mean that he made 2.6 million dollars?

eh...notch is known for making many "little" games, minecraft was one of them.
he had a fulltime job, and was planning to only work on the game for 12 months.

then it got popular so he decided to make MC his job.
then even more popular (read: big youtube users making videos, TF2 blog...)

don't get where you got the idea of him giving everything to make a game...

I can't believe there's a thread on this here! I started playing this game less than a month ago, and I'm completely hooked! This game is sweeping across the nation, and it's not even in it's beta stage yet! I can't wait until Survival Multiplayer is 100% functioning!2010-09-28 23:41:00

He's made millions on this game, making Minecraft IS his job.

Why do you think what he's doing is any different from any other game developer in the world?
Just because it's a smaller scale development doesn't mean he isn't allowed to make some pocket money from it, especially since his game is better than the crap most large scale developers fart out. This developer just got lucky enough to make a living from his game.

I bought the game yesterday, played it last night (yes, with the lights off in my room). I'm loving it so far.

My first map (and only atm) is a snowy themed map. I reached the ocean/sea on my fourth day, then I fell down a giant hole, with a entrance to what I think was a cave at the bottom. I didn't go into the cave, because I needed to get a way out of it first, so I have another method to get down there instead of jumping down and nearly killing myself.

Once I got up to the surface, a Creeper (green mutant things) blew up behind me. Really startled me.

Epic fail today. I was mining obsidian in this cave, and I had some weird glitches, with slime and spawning.

?There was two points where I quit MineCraft to watch some Youtube, because mining obsidian takes so long. Both times I spawned a block UNDER the block I was on. First time I spawned BURNING in lava, thank god I had my diamond pick equipped. Second time I spawned IN cobblestone. Could see where all the bedrock and lava was. Pretty cool. Then I moved and started to SUFFOCATE. Managed to dig my way out fairly quickly, even though I had no idea where I was. Phew.

?At this point I had 98 obsidian. I saw an opening up high and decided to investigate. When I jumped down, I landed in LAVA! Even though there was only two squares of it! I was all liek D:

?I managed to get out of that, to suddenly lag and run into MOAR lava, cept one problem. No blocks I could jump on! I panicked and started to put cobblestone, I wasnt realy that worried since I still had half my health. Put the final cobblestone under me and it..killed me. Lost like 4 diamond, a diamond pick, countless obsidian and resources that I needed.

Hey Im trying to check out the free single player and multiplayer version but no game screen is showing, just directions and "This game requires Java. Press escape to release the mouse.
Press B!"

EDIT: nvm, for some odd reason it is only working on internet explorer :/ anyway the free version is meh, I built a small temple ruins and my first mine, and then a 3 story log cabin XD kind of boring though because there isnt any erm...whats the word...system? economy? something, I noticed that in videos of the full version and in the wiki (thanks for that) that theres carts,fire,inventory,recipes for armor weapons and items sounds heavenly!So I will most certainly be bumping this up to the top of my "to buy list"

I'm afraid that it won't work when I buy it, also something about setting up a server? What's that all about?

The reason I'm afraid it won't work is because I can't play the free version, this message comes up : org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated.

Wut?

Sounds like it might be a problem with your graphics card, or maybe a problem with Java. If you did buy it and it didn't work it'd save you paying full when the price goes up, you'd still be able to log onto your account on different computers.

Generally if the free version isn't working the full version won't either, they're basically the same thing only one has more stuff added.

Minecraft or Gmod? Hmmmm....

Minecraft is cheaper and isn't an illegal mod of a game so its great and easy to install

GMOD is a modded version (illegally) of Half life 2 and you have to PAY FOR IT??? I mean wtf? you pay for something a guy did illegally? Don't think so also apparently he is charging for add-ons now he can go stuff that game..

Minecraft ftw

Lol, you do know the creators of Half Life 2 own steam, where Gmod is sold. Do you really think that Gmod would be illegal then?

Yeah... that's one of the lesser things, but all considered... not too horrible.
Lanterns would probably be some framework of iron and possibly a torch. Hopefully a framework of wood, but that's most likely hoping for too much, eh?

It's only 10 Euro.
If you're too young to own a Paypal account, ask your parents to get one, and get the game for you.

And if they're not convinced, tell them the game will (at the very least) double in price later on, so it'd be smart to get it now.

He goes by seananners and his newest lets play series is MINECRAFT !! He has 11 videos so far that let you in on the basics of single player. I watched them all in one sitting and I can say it was pretty informative and humorous (last 3 or so episodes can probably be skipped) he uploads very frequently and i recommend watching The video featured on the channel page is genius.

Yes, it grows on you. When I first started playing it about a year ago, I was comparing it to LBP...but then of course, that's never fair.

EDIT: okay sorted it out but so far all ive been able to do is dig and any ores i find go towards replacing tools Does LBPC have its own server? that would rock !

Keep in mind this game is still in Alpha.
Those features may, or may not, be added just before or during the beta phase.

I DO know Notch is looking into villages of sorts. Whether or not the village will be inhabited by "humans" is a different question.

I started playing the Alpha on monday, it is so addictive.
For my first few days it kind of went like this.
Day 1: Tries to figure out controlls and finally learns them by nightfall, then I was killed by zombies.
Day 2: Digs deep hole to avoid zombies, sits in hole all night

I started playing the Alpha on monday, it is so addictive.
For my first few days it kind of went like this.
Day 1: Tries to figure out controlls and finally learns them by nightfall, then I was killed by zombies.
Day 2: Digs deep hole to avoid zombies, sits in hole all night
Day 3: Gets out of hole and moves to new land, and tries to builed shelter, couldn't do it in time for night, so Dug deep hole again
Day 4: Still underground, I got lost...

I laughed while reading this...and reading this makes me want to buy the game...hhmmmmm....

Well, it was finally time for me to leave the Nether. So I went into the gate, and of course a new one opened about 16 blocks away.

It happened to be RIGHT in front of a grave I made for a dead family member.

Ok, I'm downloading an update to my graphics card that should "hopefully" allow me to play this...

Now, should I go and just buy the regular thing, or should I play in Classic for a while? I could probably just buy right now, but I unno if I should just wait in Classic and see if I like, or if I'd need to restart in regular and just buy it cause it's only 10 bucks. /le sigh

I was up 2 extra hours last night watching vids of surviving in the alpha version... it looks oddly engaging. How much is it in USD?
Is it multiplayer? Like, you can be in the game world with someone else?

And the price is going to go up once it hits beta i think.

The Halloween update kinda hindered the games performance. I mean, I like a little bit more intelligent AI than the next guy, but the mobs are getting too smart.

Creepers hiding in trees, Spiders outside your door, mobs spawning in large numbers in unreasonable areas, etc.

P.S. Im buying the game sometime this week.

I started MineCraft RIGHT after the Halloween update was released, so I decided to play my second world, that was on hard at the time. When I spawned I decided I would go kill some mobs. So I got on mah armour and got mah sword, and marched out of my storage room...to fall down my mine and die.

I spawned in a battlefield D:

I always thought this was just creating stuff. I played Classic for a week but got bored-ish. I made a skyscraper with 2 other guys and it got deleted cause it was 1 square into the admins invisible property lines. Lol, people are touchy about these things.

I've been watching a series of one guy's life in the game and it looks sweet. Hope it is still in Alpha next week that's when I'm buying it. Cuttin it close! I just love the idea of making your own house and you have to stick close to it before night.

The torches, Do they run out? If they do, can you make them not?

lol this game is awesome... I take it I missed everything in the halloween event? I shouldn't have been stingy!

Oh my game so far is a hoot... My character started in the middle of a tundra biome I assume, it's all snowy and there's animals everywhere... so I did what any right minded person would do and slaughtered the animals.

Suddenly, night was falling... I had made myself some picks and a sort of ... hoe? I don't know what it is. It doesn't seem to degrade... And I was looking around for shelter and saw a random hole in the ground and ...yes.. burrowed right into the hole like a rabbit and was safe.

Then come morning I ran around and heard an explosion, I think it was one of the creepers. Then I think I saw one and was running away from him and trying to make holes in the ground so he'd get stuck but he jumped out!! Eventually he got bored and stopped chasing me

Aha, I found coal! Apparently a little bit of coal makes a lot of torches!

Then I decided to climb a mountain by digging a circular tunnel through it... my only prize was a bunch of mushrooms and now I'm in another hole for nightfall - BUT I have a hat and pants! I'm holding off on building a real shelter until I find some coal, I can't find anything!

I also just made a shovel and discovered a temporary light source - cooking meat in a furnace... I also discovered you can't harvest a furnace by smashing it

I heard water underground but couldn't find the source.. I think I just created a really secure shelter, the door is right on the side of a mountain,

I went out and fought a spider then looked out to see a valley full of skeletons and creepers... ran back inside

I survived 3 creeper explosions!

Well I was kind of dumb and went poking around outside my shelter at night... I was trying to build this giant stairway leading to it so I could know it from afar but what do you know, a creeper blew up and threw me off of the mountain and I died

Does the world change completely when you die or do things stick around? Is it possible for me to find it? lol

After running around at night away from skeletons after dying I found a forest burning down with lava flowing through it O_o

Everything will remain the same in your world, it generates once and stays that way, so yes you can find your house/mountain and even all the stuff you dropped when you died (if your fast enough)

Also, a tip is to build your home/shelter close to the place you spawn, because you spawn there everytime you die. Also, seems like your having fun so yay.

I finally completed the staircase to my shelter but creepers blew out the entire mountainside foundation... ... lol I'm going to add some fences and then give myself a bow and full leather armor

And somehow a chicken found his way into my house after a creeper explosion... I'm going to keep him as a pet :O

I jumped down the mountain (right now still on 1.5 hearts lol) and there was a piece of sand smack dab in the middle of a lake. Just starting my second floor. On a huge lack of rocks but have way too much sand

Living in a lake means nobody can get me (I have a boat inbetween walls to get around to my caves) but enemies don't die till they get to my house.

Nice! You need obsidian for that right? That's just water and lava I think? I hit a pretty constant source of lava under my house so I think I know what to do...

... get a diamond pickaxe.

yeah but you need a lava source and a water source mixed together, so you either need a natural pit of lava or 10 lava sources. To get a diamond pickaxe just dig down really far, and hopefully you will fall into a cave deep underground, then mine the diamond with an iron pickaxe or better. there also loads of redstone underground, and iron and coal and stuff. I like riding minecarts though, i made an underground rollercoaster

Minecarts! I should make minecarts in my mine shaft... so far I got deep enough to find redstone, I saw some gold but when I mined it, it fell into lava... At least I have a compass now so I can explore freely withoout getting lost.

I'm encountering a few places wheere lava spews out of mountainsides and burns up villages... that's pretty cool.

That lava pit under my house though... I got killed a couple times there and lost a lot of ore since it fell into the lava

Minecraft! I enjoy fooling around in Classic mode all by myself and remodeling the landscape and caverns, but I tried Alpha a little bit.

Tip for the Nether: the Zombie Pigmen are passive until you attack them, which causes all of them to wage war on you. The Ghasts are always bad news, but you can reflect their projectiles (with anything, including your bare hands) at the right timing.

Aha! I remember reading about that. I realized the pigmen were passive, and decided to go around and collect some lightstone. That worked out well until I got overzealous and got lost, then got chased by ghasts Killed ... Now the portal entrance I made is surrounded by ghasts lol. I'm gonna try going in with my bare hands and killing them all with fireballs.
