This thread is becoming the perfect example of why Notch shouldn't listen to fans. So many ideas that, I'm sorry, just aren't good. Few good ideas but wow.

Why not come down from your ivory tower and tell us why some ideas are bad and some ideas are good? The discussion will probably be better that way.

I sort of got finished with my base. Is a big suare base floating over the water that has glass in the center of it so I can look down. The only way in is a water elevator and I just built a floating farm above my base. I really like it and think its cool, but I dont know. I will try and get pics later.
Also....what do I do with an Egg?

i don't know anything, but try googling it.

I can even cartograph my world... So its not corrupted?
On win 7 there is a "restore previous versions" folder option. Wonder if that would be worth a try?

OMG OMG OMG OMG restore previous versions worked!!!
Well before you do anything else, make sure you backup and zip your World1 folder in case you can recover in the future. Then, if you haven't already, try starting a new game in World1 and see if your existing stuff shows up. You might be able to use Cartograph to find where your new spawnpoint is in comparison with your old stuff.Metalic Sand said:
*edit* Nevermind. Good knowing the previous versions stuff helps people. I think I had it turned off in the Windows 7 RC to save disk space.

Yea im going to start throwing my saves up on Dropbox.
As I mentioned last night, always keep a backup. I was lucky because my 9:00 tri-hourly clone had just ran right before I screwed up. I am now in the habit of pressing escape occasionally and duplicating the world1 folder before I do anything big and after. Also my Time Machine runs hourly. If I could I would set it to backup that one folder every 5-10 minutes.

I just selected the "-empty-" were my previous save was located and my whole world was there - I just lost everything on my character and an hour of work.

So i decided instead of trying to redo what i lost with time, I would instead go out exploring and i came across what is possibly the biggest mine ive ever seen. Its just nonstop mine after mine.
Found a spider spawn block which is sealed up so i can find a way to make it a string supplier later.
Edit: Ive encountered my first mushroom ever in this massive mine/cave system as well. They must be rare in my world. going to make myself some mushroom stew!

minecraft keeps lagging for me, like reallllly badly. anyone know what's up?
I fell off a cliff and when I came back to my treetop house half of it had disappeared . Its like someone had just removed a 10x10 cube out of my world. The worst part is that cube included my 2 crates of all my collected items .
I am 99% sure it wasn't a creeper as the shape was too tall and there isn't any real way a creeper could get there.
Has this happened to anyone else? It is very odd... (and sad )

)My spawn area is a stretch of mountains as far as the eye can see. Fantastic for resource gathering, terrible for building. Today I decided to head out across the water to find more flat pastures for my building. There is a large island across the blue expanse about 90 seconds away from my main mining site. Flat, with small, rolling hills as its only break in the land. Here I shall build my utopia.
But first, I shall build my first ever minecart system to ferry me from continent to continent. Of course, it shall be underwater and housed in a tunnel of glass. I'm sure I could have picked an easier task for my first ever construction project, but where would be the fun in that? I have all this redstone now, too, so I think I'll make it one of those proper, fully automated cart systems with boosters and shit, just to make it more involved.

I made one. It was a pain in the ass!
Maybe there's a better way to do it, but I pretty much had to construct the glass corridor piecemeal and then go in from one side, block it up in a checkerboard pattern with cobblestone, then dredge it from the "dry" side little by little with buckets.
This may have been said (it's a lot to read back through), but I'd love to see some simple tooltips in this game to show me what all the different materials I'm picking up are. It doesn't need to say what to do with them, just a simple "Coal" on mouseover would be really nice.

Yeah, Notch has talked about implementing something like that, as well as a crafting tree that you can "discover" your way along and keep track of recipes.Amneisac said:
I actually like how the game just drops you in and you have to kind of figure out stuff on your own. Part of the fun for me has been watching Youtube videos and such to see what was possible in the game. I think doing to much hand holding would kind of ruin that.
I guess just telling you what materials were wouldn't be that bad though.

Drewsky said:
Yeah, I think just identifying the materials would be enough for me. I'd rather get my handholding in-game than on Youtube where I could have my imagination polluted by other people's ideas.
I don't mind using some external sources, but at the same time it dispels a little of the mystery of Minecraft and I've been enjoying exploring more in game than out of it.
I just feel like if I knew more about what these lo-fi icons meant I'd be better equipped to guess what I can do with them.

Supplies of coal and metals have been dwindling lately as I've been working more on creating a safe area up top around my fort and the entrance to my mine. A defensive moat has been dug along the length of my island to discourage monsters, and several ever burning fire pits have been created (which is both a great monster deterrent and way to stock up on animal parts). With topside rather safe (Playing on hard), I venture back into the depths.
Coal is my mission, and after a few short runs picking up bits of it here and there, I come to where I stopped my progress last time. It's the edge of a medium drop overlooking a dark opening. There are skeletons and zombies galore down there. probably about 6 that I can see, and one skeleton shooting at me from the dark.
So, bow in hand, I begin the fight. Zombies and Skeletons drop fairly easily. And I'm down to two. One skeleton I can see and the other still hiding in the dark. I'm pretty sure I've won at this point. Then I heard it. That subtle ssssss of approaching calamity. I spin to see if it's behind me. No. Boom! It was below me. The floor I'm standing on collapses dropping me into the horde. I die a swift death.
For the next twenty minutes I battle fruitlessly to get my stuff back (I even drop the difficulty to normal). Only managing to put down extra light. Most of my stuff is gone now, but I can see why it was so hard. There are six entrances to that room. Three below and three up top. I died probably ten times. Four of those were to creepers dropping on me from the upper entrances.
With my stuff gone, I have resolved to build an outpost there and stock up. I will claim this spot as my own, and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

Creeper!
Edit: Outpost built, and I have my first house warming guest in the form of another creeper hopping up and down outside my door.
Edit: Killed that Creeper only to be discovered by another while mining iron. I hope that deposit of gold behind me is ok.
Edit: It's raining the bloody bastards. This place is ridiculously dangerous.
