However, I could play the Beta for the rest of forever and be happy.

So could I.

Man, I was on a roll tonight discovering how to make things. Found some great veins of precious stones, and was able to craft some armor for the first time. I refuse to look at recipes, because most of the fun for me comes from trial and error crafting. Feels so satisfying to figure out how to make things.

EDIT: Until you get bum rushed by the guys in my avatar!

I feel your pain, creepers seem to sneak up on you at the worst possible time. I was building a tunnel from my "main base" to a mine that has this huge wall of gold among other valuable things to mine, but it's far away from my base. Traveling at night is not exactly easy so I began a tunnel. I was right at the end, connecting it to the mine when a creeper spawns IN THE TUNNEL and blows up. I had to rebuild a pretty big chunk. While fighting off hordes of zombies and spiders.

I need to set up traps for these guys.
Do you guys use any texture packs? I'm using the Painterly Pack, which lets you customize it by selecting from a variety of textures for each and everything that has a texture in the game. It's much easier on the eyes than the default look IMO. I made my zombies look like yetis and gave creepers a crazy face.

Re: Minecraft

What's worse is when they are looking in through your door panel, and you only have one way out. Bastards.

Also, I hate it when I get killed in a mine at night and then respawn out in the open. Good luck with that.

Do you have to buy this on the computer you want to play it on?

No, you can log into your account on a different PC and play

Thanks NoDak for the heads up on that Painterly pack, my head doesn't ache now.

No problem! I've found it to be even more enjoyable with that pack.

Worked perfectly for me also, something I didn't think possible because I always run the game from my browser.

Re: Minecraft

Finally played last night. Hid out the first night and after I watched the skeleton that was outside burn away I thought it would be safe to leave. Then a spider climb through the hole I'd just opened up so I had to kill that. I finally get back outside only to be instantly harassed by the thing in Deft's avatar. Then like 5 more came out of nowhere and I managed to escape before they all exploded.

Welcome to Minecraft. Watch some of the tutorial vids in this thread to get you started, they don't spoil things like some other videos.

Zombies and Skeletons will burn up when the sun get bright enough. But Spiders and Creepers will sometimes appear during the day. Creepers are the worst though, have to keep your head on a swivel.

I watched the getting started videos on how to survive the first night. Helped out a lot.

Most hilarious thing I've seen was a cow commit suicide. Just stared over this hug drop for about 5 seconds before deciding to jump and fall to its death .

Re: Minecraft

How much does this game cost? I've been looking to get into it after watching some videos, but I don't want to drop too much money on it if it's still in beta state.

Thanks fellas.
