People who bought Alpha get ALL future updates.
People who buy Beta (or above), may have to pay for updates and the final release. (correct me if i'm wrong)

You're wrong.

At least, partially wrong. It has been confirmed that you WON'T have to pay for the final release, but you WILL have to pay for the expansions that I don't think Notch has even thought of yet.

anyway, I'm kind of bored of SMP, although I might bring the server back at some stage now that the new improvements are out...In the meantime, I've been building a calculator with a 7-segment display (Hexadecimal). It's nearly done, I just need to add the binary-decimal decoder for the second half of the numbers. Screenshots (and maybe video) when it's done. Nothing fancy, but it's pretty cool. This one is just to see if I can, I'll probably make a super duper (2 digit) one with a cooler display and more compact parts later on. This one has taken AT LEAST 15 hours (I haven't been counting) so I won't do it straight away.

Lol.. I got the Beta version of this game in a ..... illegal.. fashion. Can't play multiplayer though. Just started out. I made a sword+ armour from leather.

If you think creepers are scary, NEVER go to the Nether. *goes into corner and cries*

 

[Olji]

how do you get there then, read about some zombie pigmen should be there...
EDIT: the ghasts in hell is probably pretty scary too I bet...

 

[Edward]

Here you go bro

I personally don't care for the nether. Maybe I'm just scared :I

I'm lucky, bought the alpha 5 hours before beta and the price rise

So far so good. Had no idea what I was doing and died by monsters the first night. Then watched a tutorial, built a house on the highest hill and proceeded to dig a 101x8x8 hole all the way to the bedrock. Now I have 14 gold ingots, 32 redstone and ~4900 cobblestone

Next on my list is to figure out what's so special about redstone and to make something with it. Seems to glow when you walk on it.

 

[Innocence]

what's so special about redstone

Nothing, seriously. You will never find a practical use for redstone.

That said, you can make stuff like

a calculator with a 7-segment display (Hexadecimal).

with it.

That said, you can make stuff like [a calculator with a 7-segment display (Hexadecimal).] with it.

You can make locks and pressure plate-activated double doors and other stuff like that. It's actually pretty fun to mess around with.

I got minecraft 3 days before the beta. I take back any words I said about it being stupid. It's really fun.

EVERYONE who says this game isn't fun really needs to play it, because it's one of those games that you just don't "get" until you play it. Which is why I'm looking forward to the demo version Notch said would be coming out some time soon.


@Everyone who responded to my controversial (and wrong) statement: The statement was half joke, half vague. What I was really (half) saying is that redstone has a very easy learning curve, and needs to be improved with reasons for advanced implementations. Robotic blocks, something like that.

Is the server down? And why?

Is the server down? And why?

And yes, the server is down. Running it ALL the time is taking up too much time and energy, so I'm not going to be running the server unless somebody has a major project they want to build.

[Narraeson]

Do you have to login online to get it updated? I use my brother's account offline and he won't tell me his password, even though he barely even plays :|

 

[cuberkid10]

I got Eden for my ipod, which is as close to real minecraft as apps can be. It's basically like minecraft classic and it's really fun. I've created a 7 story fireman house with a sliding pole.. and chock full of TNT.

 

[Rinfiyks]

I spent ages on a multiplayer server mining for rare elements. They had a locked chest feature. It didn't work properly. I lost full iron set, diamond sword, 12 gold, 100 iron, 5 diamonds. I raged. They've "fixed it now"...
