Minecraft: The Thread

Talk about everyones favorite pixelated block game here

Recently, I discovered an enormous cave system across some hills under a desert near my main fort
No shit, this cave system is composed of about 3-4 ravines (no, not just large caves, motherfucking RAVINES), AND an abandoned mine
...I havent even begun to explore this damn cave, and Ive got more iron and coal than I know what to do with
Ill take some screenshots later


Also, do we have a GTWF Minecraft Server or anything?
I usually only loiter around one server and its usually me and just one other person so Im looking for more active servers to hang around

Found this squid randomly swimming around in one of the previously mentioned ravines

My world is infested with abandoned mineshafts. Or well, one enormous abandoned mineshaft O_o
Seriously I could spend months in here D:

Also dammit Kaizy you stretched the page

There should be an automatic resizing thing for images so it doesnt stretch the screen (I know forums have the option somewhere)

Personally I hate abandoned mineshafts
Theyre full of those tiny spiders that can crawl through holes as big as one block and poison you

They can get through half a block even, so there's literally almost no way to make a grinder for them
Which sucks considering how many freaking spawners there are
Hmm, I suppose a drowning trap would still work, I assume they always swim upwards in still water like all other mobs

Ive never made a mob killer of any kind
Just swords
I kill my enemies like a man >:U

We need a GTW server, if anyone can make one that'd be awesome. I kinda had an idea if I knew how to execute it thought.

I somewhat know how to make one, I suppose I could always host one, though Im not sure how hosting a server works exactly
Does the server remain open if Im not online or anything, or do I have to be playing or something for it to work?

Now, mind you, I've never played Minecraft, but you typically need to have a server host open for clients to connect to it. You don't need to have a client open to run the host, as that would just force you to waste valuable memory on rendering.

The server program is here;

http://www.minecraft.net/download

You want Minecraft_Server.exe

So what youre saying is that I would have to be online running a program in order for the server to be open?

If so, maybe I shouldnt host a big public server for us because my online status is sporadic and my connection gets sketchy at times so the server would fuck up constantly

If I dont need to be online for the server to work, then Ill try to set one up and see how it goes

You do need to be online. Every server needs a "host" computer. Basically a computer that stores all the information about the map and serves as a hub to which all the other computers send and receive data to/from. If that computer goes offline, everyone gets disconnected, because they are all connected through you. You can use a computer at some other location as a host, but typically you have to pay for it — not a lot of folks just pass out server space, bandwidth, and processor time for free, you know!

Also, regarding your screenshot... Chrome, Pidgin, and Minecraft? Damn, boy, if that's all your computer is for, switch to Linux already!

Yeah Im not gonna host a major server for a bunch of people then D:

Also, I like my Windows and my laptop :V

I dont know why it does that
Its actually just one iTunes saved to my taskbar, but for some reason when I click the one in my taskbar it opens up another one instead
Its fuckin weird

FUCK YES!

It feels just like that when youre playing it too

CAVE SPIDERS ARE THE DEMON SPAWN OF SATAN'S FIREY BUTTHOLE >:C
Yesterday I came across like half a dozen spawners in a single area, they're always clumped together like that. And so many spiders had spawned in all the time I was down there that I had to carefully pick off what felt like hundreds ;~; They also half depleted what was a full set of iron armor.

Now when I hear spider sounds in a mineshaft and it's actually a NORMAL spider, I'm overjoyed with relief. Wow I never thought I'd feel that way about spiders O__o

"put a sticky pistol with a solid bloke attached to it to suffocate the cave spiders in case there are too many in the collection box." -Random Youtube Comment

LMAO, the mental image is just gold

We really should start a server here for minecraft, and download the map from Shadow of Israphel for it with Mistral City before it was destroyed. Also if you've seen the SOI episode 33, holy shit I want to actually ride that minecart track.

Creeper's do drop gunpowder...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

if you guys actually decide to officially create a server for everybody to use, that WON'T shut down any time soon, let me know. I'm not even going to bother with online until I know I'll be staying in one server.

Well the final Minecraft update is out
Anyone play it yet?

My computer problems are keeping me from trying it out D:

Fuck that shit
They changed the sounds
THEY CHANGED THE SOUNDS
Ehh I got done with minecraft a while ago
Notch is a douche, etc

I threw caution to the wind, updated my Minecraft and played a new survival...noted the different sounds and graphics and Im mixed on it :1
I didnt like the idea of spells and all that bullshit...I just wanted to build and explore

Yeah I think it's gotten a bit over the top too.
