Guess I have to keep designing my lava mortar.

This sounds like a whole lot of new possibility with redstone and traps.

I ran into something pretty neat today while playing. I died and when I respawned it was night. Off in the distance I saw what looked like fire. I'm playing a single player game and I've never gone off in the direction so I checked it out and found a forest fire. I watched as tree after tree caught fire until it couldn't spread anymore. I climbed a nearby hill and the fire filled my entire screen. I took some screen shots, which I would post if I could manage to find what folder they're in.

I explored around a little and found an open lava pit in the same area as the fire. I'm guessing that a tree grew too close to it and caught fire and it spread from there. This world I'm playing right now has a ridiculous amount of lava. Down in the bottom of my main mine (the entrance of which I'm building a house around) there are pools of it everywhere, I don't even use torches down there. Every time I break into a new chamber there's lava. If I ever need obsidian, there's tons of it down there as well. It's actually pretty much a perfect mine. Lot's of all the ore's including a reasonable amount of diamond, no need for torches, and it took almost no digging to get down there. I just followed a massive network of caves until I got to the goods.

I assume that's Yahtzee's reviews, which just makes me say... why don't you already watch his reviews?

I just spent about 4 hours watching his videos for games I've played. Also, yeah, Minecraft needs new stuff. I'd be happy with more things/machines we can build-- (elevators, guns, etc.)

I'd like to see more decorative items. I'm building a fairly ridiculous house and most of the rooms are going to empty because there just isn't that much to put in them.

Trying to build a castle, looks like crap. Too plain on the outside. :/ Suggestions?

Also lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c6QfQcXsz4

Build the entire thing out of TNT.

Failquote.

....

That is awesome, and makes me want to start playing again. Too bad once Rift comes out I won't have time! XD

How long till you start on the Hydro-Electric power plant?

You should try to make a replica of the Panama Canal, complete with lock system.

The wolves look pretty amazing. I'm very impressed. It seems you can have more than one as well... Just how many I'm not sure, but I look forward to commanding a massive army of wolves~!

@#%^, I've got to get back to this game...

Speaking of, I finally finished the outer shell of my house. The towers took forever to build and the roof was just tedious. Now to put in some rooms and decorations and such.

The building from a distance.

From the front porch.

The unfinished inside

Inside one of the towers.

I'm thinking of making a few chandelier type devices out of glass and lava. I'm not sure how it's going to work out though, I haven't played around with lava much, other than to turn it into obsidian. The main entrance will have stairs arcing around the sides to get up to the second floor. Aside from that, and a vague idea about adding some type of decorative bits to the outside of the building I'm not sure what I want to do. I do still need to install the stairs in the towers to get up to the top, I'm not sure if I'll just add the stairs with a single top floor, or if I'll do several floors.

Looks like it will probably go against Obsidian also. I highly doubt it will beat them though. Obsidian does have some very solid titles to it's name. Even if it does make it past Obsidian, it will have Valve to content with. If Minecraft somehow beats Valve I will cry in a corner. :l

Generally, it will take a day or two, it really depends on who made it. For all you know, it might not get updated at all, seeing as how all the mods are just volunteer work.
By the way, I don't know if you've heard about Adventurecraft, but it's possibly the best and most sophisticated mod out there right now. It was actually coded by the guy who made Recount for WoW, afaik ^^.
Here's a little snippet from the wiki:
'AdventureCraft is a total conversion for MineCraft, which turns the game into a pure adventure mode in which players cannot place or destroy blocks.'
For those interested:
You can design your own maps, or play maps other people made, and the amount of possibilities for puzzles, traps and combat scenarios is just...endless!

And no, I don't work for them or anything, the mod is just that damn good, I thought I would advertise it ^^. I can see the guy that made this getting hired by Mojang and the mod being implemented into the game itself.
P.S. Minecraft - best game ever, but only thanks to its community and the 50343123225 mods out there ^^.

Ditto. And I didn't know the wolves were in the game already. How do you tame them?

Can the chops be raw? 'Cause I carry around the burned cooked ones for myself.

ETA: If you die, do they turn wild again, or will they show up when you respawn?

Well, had two. I think one died in lava...

Oh good gravy!

Well it looks like Mojang will probably beat Bioware. I wasn't expected them to get past Valve. I know Minecraft is how games should be but come on, Valve has put out "A" quality games over and over. Now if you will excuse me I have a corner to cry in. :*(

I bought the beta for this not long ago and having alot of fun... prob too much fun. Been playing it all day apparently. Doing pretty good though have a really deep cave behind my house lots of redstone, diamond mine pick and got chased out of Nether by a giant ghost.

Apparently if you die, your puppy goes away.

I was already lost, I'm not sure I could find the place I died.

im so angry, I died like a retard in my first serious mining expedition. I had found a dozen or so diamonds and about 100 red stones. Then I saw it the most beautiful piece of Iron sitting next to a waterfall bordered by some Magma. So I went over and blocked the Magma so it woulnd run into the hole I was about to make, broke the Iron and got washed into lava by water.... So much work down the drain, all for a stupid piece of Iron that was more or less obsolete because I had found diamond.


So angry....
