I'd be perfectly happy if notch left SMP in it's current state until he's developed more of the single player experience. Multiplayer is cool and all, and building and mining with others is good fun, but it's not the same experience as what single player offers - that sense of isolation, discovery and survival that makes Minecraft such a unique game to play.

Well... it's really impossible to know until we have a clearer idea as to what the 'final' version of Minecraft is going to look like. Don't get me wrong, right now single-player owns multi pretty considerably - but once they're even-steven? I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see everything he adds to this thing.
This game gets much better if you spawn in a spot where you can find some caves. The first two maps I spawned on basically didn't have anything interesting; some lakes and such, but I dug and dug and just found more and more rock. At no point was I ever in any danger from anything I didn't actively go out and pick a fight with, and wondered what all the fuss was about. The outside enemies are easy enough to keep away with torches around my house, and I never ran into ANYTHING underground because I lit my way with torches and thus never had any darkness something could spawn in.
I started a third map (as the first was kind of boring and the second was all snow covered) once I got the basics down and THIS time there are caves all over the place; not only with outside openings, but a couple that I dug down and found under the surface. Still not remarkably scared of anything, but the game is better when I know that while exploring I may still run into a room with a skeleton and only two exits that I can't just run past or drop torches to avoid. Plus, it's funner to dig my way into a mountain that I know may contain a few systems of caves instead of just rock, rock, rock, rock, ore, rock rock rock, etc., and then there are underground rivers and such flowing into the caves. Much more interesting game this way.

Run the Cartograph on your map and you'll soon discover there are a lot of cave systems right under your feet.

Saying things and actually doing them are quite different. Is it that hard to understand that I gave him the option to do so, yet not actually using that option myself?
But if it helps you sleep at night be my guest.
I assumed my amazingly over-the-top reaction would make it clear I was joking

1. I hope they're added soon. Not in SMP right now.
2. Not sure what it is. To get grass to grow though it just needs to be connected to another piece of grass I believe. I've gotten grass in many places just by creating huge links. As long as they're only one layer up the grass will keep jumping to other layers.

Maybe someone spawned you a grass block? I don't think there is any way to get one in game without cheating.

Hey, how does one use a bucket to gather water? Using the right mouse button just makes it smash the underneath block...

Are you trying to get water from a water source? Any still water can be picked up, or if it's flowing it's got to be from the source of the flow
WanderingWind

Ah. That helps. You just hit the water with a bucket, I'm assuming?

Yea a simple right click will do it as long as it's a water source. If it's a spring or waterfall though (any flowing water) and you take the water from it's "source", the water will disappear. However in flat water in lakes and oceans the water will just go back.

Right click and you're good. If you're playing on SMP dumping out the water in the place you want it will just disappear unless you download a fix someone made.

That waterfall/river is natural and I'm playing a regular survival game with lots of enemies.

Does the painterly pack have animation errors like many other reskins seem to?
Aquavelvaman said:
I didn't notice any in the brief time I loaded up my SP file just to check it out. Animals worked fine and a spider seemed to work alright too. My only real complaint with it was that the resolution of the icons was pretty inconsistent. Building blocks are super high res while everything else is low res.

It's nothing super fancy, but my first castle is coming together. Each tower has 4 floors from top to bottom.

i did that fire place before the sneak function was added, ooh the wasted hours making sure nothing burned:lol :lolBlizzard said:
Here is what I've been working on. It's based off of Baron Castle from FFII (US) and just by chance I found an awesome cave system filled with gold, redstone & some diamonds while digging out the hidden throne room.
I added a lever on each side of the main entrance that open both doors simultaneously.
I created a wiring room underneath the main entrance that is accessible from one of the towers.
I still have to finish the moat, replace lots of cobblestone with stone and make proper pathways.
