Once you are about lava level, you start finding redstone and diamond. I'm having a hard time finding iron though

This can help with all mining in general, especially the block probability. Once you're at the optimal level, it all boils down to luck

Just got Alpha. I can't play anymore tonight because I have to sleep, but I am currently in a cave waiting out the night

Currently building this. 5 diamond pics later, and i'm almost halfway done... me needs dynamite...

 

[Edam]

guess i'll post a few things, barely play single player anymore, survival multiplayer is way better.

this is the main dome of an underwater city me and a friend are building, built at the bottom of a huge ocean. Took an insane amount of sand to get the water out after building the dome

Large cotton sheep!

huge tower that somone's building in this server

we recently switched to a new map, there were some awesome things on the old one but I don't have pictures

But...why? The lack of HP is so limiting, and basically the only thing that makes it worthwhile is you can play with friends...Might as well play creative.

Bought Alpha today.

lol not really, I think its good, but I couldn't see myself playing it for more than ~1 hour at a time.

Oh, and I keep losing my house, how do I not lose my house? So far, every night, I've had to build another one because I lost my other one <_<

EDIT: Just found my house

This game really isn't on my side, so far it's been 4 days, I have found no coal at all, and I just found an iron mine -.-

EDIT2: 5th night, still no coal -.-

 

[Lorken]

Why don't you try a new map? Also, build your first house near your spawn point so you find it easily. Also, cheers Logan for that video, I'm gonna try build that too! Today actually, I just made my first Minecart station (don't know where they should go though).

Redstone shows up around 7 blocks from the bottom of the map. I think diamond is about the same.

THIS GAME IS AMAZING! Wow I never thought I'd find a Minecraft thread on this forum xD It's everywhere!

 

[Edward]

Ok, I'm getting better.
I have a base built, and learning how to make items. I love this game.

 

[Logan]

Gunna make me a cannon! Ride some pigs to the effing moon!

Found coal on 7th night

I actually found my other house, but I smashed it apart to make the current house bigger

And I also did this so I don't lose this one

Spoiler

The reason I don't have any items along the bottom inventory thing is because when I was building this, I fell off the top and died >_<

Basically I decided to circumnavigate the continent of my Minecraft main world. Unfortunately as you can see my route was quite different than expected, and I didn't bring a compass so I was quite lost. Eventually I will finish circling this giant pond and go out to map the continent fully.

BTW: by "Expected route" that is the route I thought I was going to take, and the route I thought I was going until I made that image. That is why I should have brought a compass with me. Plus I'm not sure what the cardinal directions are on that map; I think up-right is North and right-down is East, but I have to check it.

Sidenote: the isolated area to the bottom was when I was trying to change my spawn point, because I got the coordinates mixed up

How the hell did you map your world?

Also, Logan, did your mob trap work? Mines doesn't spawn guys for some reason, maybe its not big enough

Cartograph

Which I don't think is in the spirit of minecraft. To paraphrase Saxton Hale: Everything should be done with your BARE HANDS!

And MS Paint. Or Gimp. Or Photoshop. Use REAL CARTOGRAPHY like a MAN!

 

[aronpm]

Yeah, because explorers don't make maps. Ever.

Also, baww against the spirit. I hacked in diamond armor, gold blocks, diamonds picks, minecart tracks, TNT, etc. I don't care.
