Minecraft (online Lego essentially)

Do you all play Multiplayer? What's the difference between Single/Multi-Player?
Can you be attacked by other people?
 
I purchased this game on the strength of this thread. Glad I did! I have spent a lot of time playing this game over the last 3 days.

I have looked at the multiplayer servers but there seems to be a lot of griefing on the public ones. I have found a private server hosted by aperture games (you will need to apply on their forums). There are no monsters but the scale and creativity there is amazing!

Multiplayer differences:
- No mobs (Yet)
- No sheep or cows. (Just pigs and chickens for some reason)
- Infinity health. (Due to a bug that happens when people died online)
- Doors sometimes act a bit funny.
- Minecarts don't work properly
- Buckets don't work properly.

Some of the stuff mentioned above has been fixed in unofficial patches I think.
 
haha, Neil that's brilliant.

Can't wait for an OCUK server of this. I played the original back when it was only a couple months old. Had a lot of fun building a massive stadium and then some cities with people but it started to get overrun with griefers.

Just bought this today, been hearing a lot about how it's progressed recently so decided you can't really go too far wrong for a tenner. So much for getting any more work done! I've just made my first deep mine and found some iron ore and red looking ore and blue looking ore. Red ore doesn't seem to want to break and the blue stuff did after ages but it didn't yield anything. Off to make some iron pickaxes now!

I think you can add mobs via a server tweak? There are also mob spawners if you dig deep enough on SMP (Found a spider and a zombie one so far) they can only be killed by fire though.

Doors are a bit funny though as above, and minecarts / tracks cause some weird server crash.
 
Anyone spare 30 seconds, fell through the void on my server while doing an elaborate TNT build, need someone else to spawn so I can teleport to them

Frapple on Steam :)
 
hmm,
i assume we have to purchase the alpha to become a premium member? i downloaded it and it says i must play online first to play offline, but then the play online but isn't "enabled" ??
 
This game is awesome, I've been playing for 6 hours solid since I bought it at 2 today. I've lost track of how many days have gone past. I've found what I believe to be a dungeon underground, I carefully skirted around it until I'm more experienced with better armour. That was during a 2-3 hour trek through the underworld where I realised just how easy it is to get lost down there, mazes of natural tunnels criss cross amongst themselves and if you don't leave a trail of torches behind you it's easy to forget that you've already been through a tunnel.

Halfway through that trek and running perilously low on pickaxes I built a workbench, forge and storage box deep underground. In it I left many valuable items which I found down there, gold, diamonds, valuable iron ore. If only I'd left some sort of marker to it so I could find it easier now =/

After a couple of hours of random tunnelling underground I decided I needed some fresh air so I headed upwards. Several iron pickaxes later I reach the surface to the beautiful sight of a new dawn, from the top of the biggest mountain in the area. Ten paces further and my dig upwards would have only been half the work it was. In memory of this trek and also a stunning victory over a lingering spider and some sort of zombie that hiccuped and destroyed a good portion of the locality I built a monument and lit torches upon the top so I can see where I triumphed over the clutches of the underworld. Also useful if I ever decide to try and find my diamonds again.

I have now built a new home, a nice wooden bungalow by the shore with doors and a vast amount of windows made from this stunning "glass" material. An underground passage connects it to my first primitive cave dwelling for when the urge to mine hits me in the middle of the night.

Now I finally rest easy in a solid house for the first time in what seems like months, the howls of zombies and skeletons soothing me to sleep...
 
I love this game. It has sucked hours of gaming time out of my life. I keep trying to play the new l4d2 campaigns or doing something online but then I think hmmm I could just try to do something on minecraft.

After my first game I kept restarting until I found a really dangerous world. I have had skeletons riding on spiders and the works. Every night results in loads of different creatures outside my house trying to kill me. Dieing at night is a nightmare as its very difficult to get back to my house.
 
I tried it at around 6 tonight... just quit... oh maaaan :p

Made a small hut on the top of a mountain and have made a massive mine down to the bottom and beyond :p

I have one new rule for mining underground... don't mine above :p

Just mined above my head and some green stuff landed on me and killed me :p
 
Spent a few hours on it today. Playing on the Pistonheads server.

Built a Malibu cliffside house type thing :)

The house behind was built by another chap trying to copy :p
 
I've only got the silver pickaxe (Like the one above) - how can I find the materials for the blue axe you have above?
