Minecraft

It's worth it in every way. Except you probably won't get anything else done the first few weeks.

Ok, I've decided to buy this, along with some cubes (not now though)
It feels like I've already been playing because all I did for 2 hours today was watch a complete walkthrough on youtube. Even watching it it really fun.

Just played classic for a bit, and it was very fun, but it was really laggy, if i bought the normal version, does it stay as laggy/get worse?

If you play with a browser, don't use chrome. it hates it.

When you buy it, you can download minecraft.exe and play it on there. It gets A LOT less laggy, unless your computer REALLY sucks.

If you have a lot of hw and you're busy with school, then save yourself while you can. I have been staying up so late doing my homework since I can't stay off that addictive game. It's so fun though, the possibilities are endless.

Just to take up even more of your guys' time check out AdventureCraft. I've spent the last 3 days straight with it (should have been practicing), but it's actually pretty fun.

Uh, I'm trying to buy this but it won't let me because it says it doesn't know the currency.

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to log in :fp

 

[TheMachanga]

Ok I bought it, and I downloaded it. I run it, and it makes me log in, then it just takes me to a black window. I wait for a while but it's not doing anything. Then Ik tried playing in the browser. I know it won't work on Chrome according to you guys so I tried safari. The lag was ridiculous. It took 10 minutes to create the world. then it would move 1 frame every minute. Literately. I move my mouse, and nothing will happen, then it suddenly he's looking in the other direction. I couldn't even move.

I don't know much about computers, but maybe someone can help you if you post your specs.

Uh, I use Windows xp on a Dell desktop I got in 2002 or 2003.

It's most likely not powerful enough. Minecraft takes a lot of power to run well. Try updating to the latest video drivers.

Also, post all your specs if possible.

Spawn point is different for different people even on the same seed.

And for the person having lag, try Optimine.

indeed i did

i love minecraft but my computer sucks:
graphix card: ati radeon x1200
processor: amd athlon processor 2650e (1.6 ghz single core)
RAM: 2.8 gb

so it lags every 30 seconds every time i play it.

 

[DeathCuberK]

I'm pretty sure Notch included optimine, or something similar, in beta 1.3. The new world format loads chunks almost instantly.

WHAT THE HELL.

This thing is voodoo. It made MC go from 10-13 FPS typically to about 20. It was playable before (IMO) on this laptop, but now it's on par with the iMac.

@DeathCuberK: Yeah. That was JUST the new world format, which sped things up a LITTLE. Mainly load times.

Gargamel, btw, has an absolute spawn, so everyone spawns in the same place.

On gargamel I got owned by a Creeper as soon as I got out... >_<
