Of all the threats that come from digging up, hitting water is probably the least lethal. It's far, far worse to hit lava, gravel, or sand. Water doesn't spread far enough to really flood a mine, it's easy to cut off, and the worst that will happen is that it takes out some of your torches.

argh, dropping down into single digit fps, after going for weeks at 100+
Well I'm done until the performance issues get sorted out. I'm mainly suffering from chunks being updated really slowly crashing my frame-rate into the 20's where it was about in the 70's prior to beta. Chunks update so slowly that I'll basically only have 3-4 blocks ahead of me in visibility after it loads performance gets better, but its basically making exploration impossible and initial load-ups painful. Starting a new world doesn't help at all either.
I've also hit a bug where I keep falling through one of the floors in my house and drowning in the dirt:lol

I don't know about everyone else, but my MineCraft updated and runs like a champ. And my world is 127MB and it runs just as smooth as before.
I don't have any mods though but I do use Frendan's awesome texture pack.
Plus I'm on OS X, and have heard a lot of Mac users were having problems.
Maybe I'm the odd man out.

Still needs to fix the custom control option so it doesn't revert to default whenever you restart the game.

Love this game
Gorgeous.
I'll have to post some pix of my second world. Spawned with TONS of coal and for my first night I made a little nook by a water fall, which opened up into a huge cavern underneath. It includes most of the mountain. Great little fortress in the making.
This game taps into something very deep for me. I used to walk for hours, exploring as a kid.
Me and my GF are taking turns working on our world.. We're hollowing out a mountain to use as a base (we already have a floor half done with windows along a corner)
..Although finding ores is proving to be difficult. I've found 4-5 from about 10 pickaxes worth of mining down at an angle. I'm starting to doubt there's any caverns down here at all.
The mountain is also an island too so getting string is proving to be hard.. spiders keep dropping to the bottom of the sea.

Got the on-screen map, very useful.
Also, I have decided that having a home base at the top of a mountain is dumb, when all the good stuff is deep underground.
So I am going to make a move to someplace where there is more land so that I can grow some trees, and maybe suck less at this game. Compared to other guys on Youtube and here, I am like a hobo in this game.

Yeah, nice way of saying the same feeling that I get from the game. WoW Cataclysm is out and I'm spending more time with this indie one man java show called Minecraft than I am with a Blizzard game. And it's because of the feeling I get when playing this game. Hard to explain exactly what it is...
I agree, this is exploration at it's best.
Also, we need more pictures!
This is my house at the top of a mountain, which I will abandon due to lack of available space for expansion (and it's a pain to climb the mountain every time I go down to the caves):
And here are some 3D shots of the ladder I made this morning from the surface to the top of the mountain. From the top:
and from the bottom:
The stuff you see on the ground is the stuff I dropped after I missed the ledge at the top and plunged to my death.

I am guessing you can't get back your items if you die in lava, right?
Probably not.
I got mine from DVD movies that came with them, which with the advent of 3DTV's, they probably won't be bringing those types of glasses anymore. Otherwise, you may have to build them yourself or order them.

Yeah, this game sucked me in, totally surprised me. I stayed up til 3:30AM the night I downloaded it. And I never do shit like that. I have a huge backlog of PS3 and PC games that I'm not touching, I keep coming back to Minecraft. I'll break that with some BC2: Vietnam tonight but I'm fearing for my job and family life once I touch the GAF MP minecraft server.

Well, it's not that simple. When you die, your stuff gets thrown around the spot where you died. So, if you died in the middle of a huge pool of lava then your stuff is most likely gone. However, if you died near the edge of the lava, then there's a good chance that some of your inventory was thrown clear of the lava and not destroyed.

In Minecraft, it usually is.
Jasoco said:
Yeah, it's odd that he didn't even post anything about the patch on his blog. It just sort of appeared.
Of course, the other thing wouldn't be rare and secret if everybod knew what it was a day after it was put into the game.

Yeah that's why I was glad it wasn't classic water, not that you could die then anyways.
Still terrifying when water comes pouring in :lol
....
Started up a new world, and it's already getting interesting!
An epic tree on an outcropping. Some sort of tower will have to accompany it, some day.
Water is popping up in lots of random places, such as the top of this hill. So damn scenic.
And I've got a new home!
Doesn't look like much? Pssh!
The waterfall, as viewed from the bottom (well...not really but you'll see!)
The cave opens up further yet, with lava lighting the abyss.
Some good exploring is ahead!
Nah. Couldn't be. That's just a mod he installed on his server end. Anyone can do that. And if all goes according to plan, the mod system may allow stuff like that to follow the player wherever they go. It has to be something else. Seeing as I doubt Deadmau5 goes from random server to random server just for people to get a glimpse. Though... I dunno. Does seem lame. Though it would mean anyone could make their player model look however they want. I think the player model should be something you upload like you do your skin that would follow your player and download to any server you join. I can imagine the possibilities if the model editor was easy to use.Atomski said:
This is what the minecraft forums are saying. Which seems lame to me...
Speaking of which... what is Deadmau5' server anyway? And does "Deadmau5" need an apostrophe s when you make it possessive? Or does a simple apostrophe suffice? I don't know the grammatical rules when it comes to numbers masquerading as letters.
They're called "reeds" and they're fairly rare, but they grow like WILDFIRE. You get three from a stack, plant one next to water and in a few minutes you have three again. So you can triple your amount then triple it again then again. It is used to make paper to make books to make bookshelves. And to look cool. Just find one stack and that's all you need to make a grand library.Willy105 said:
Maybe it's a trick to throw people off? Now when they come upon it, it'll still be a surprise....?kennah said:Why would that need a blogged update
Maybe?
Also, anyone know if:
A) I can change the F-key combos to something else? I have my F-keys set to launch apps and can't use them when in MineCraft. So I'd love to be able to remap them.
B) They can be toggled? I wouldn't mind having all the data on screen most of the time from the F3 display. Well, everything but the graph. I do like all the other info though. Like the XYZ location and FPS counter.
What all the keys do? F1 hides the HUD, F2 does a screenshot, F3 does info...
Speaking of the Info: What do all the sections/letters mean?
I don't think I've ever listened to him. I also don't know who C418 is either but whatever.Atomski said:

Meh... I think the success got to Notch's head, he seems really arrogant now.
I logged into the game and updated it, it is now in beta. I can't really spot the differences.
I can't believe he asked fans to create video content for his website, why not just pay them? And why is his website redesign so shitty? You have the money to pay a talented designer.. so why not?
