In all honesty, this case of griefing is ... unique.
Other than this we've only had one other major griefing incident.

Oh wow. I've gotta get my hands on the blueprints for those towers, they look fantastic.
I'm impressed, check this out:

currently spelunking and its the biggest cave ive ever seen, i imagine due to the seed. first cave i hit. the seed is really cool too, there are monsters out during day, cause of all the overhangs, and mushrooms a-plenty
edit: i logged out to type this post, and when i logged in i was on top of the cave, approx the same area, just ~60 blocks upwards. weird...

That's probably a knock on effect of Mojang releasing "Minecraft: Pocket edition" which has a very similar name, so you can send your thanks Notch and his crew for that handy boost.
And I'll be sure to drop by and see what's going down on Civil Wars sometime, many good memories from the old server.

I like them. They are huge and therefore squarish, just like everything in the game that isn't a sprite. Making a huge mushroom sprite would have been 10 times more uglier.
Also, on the + side, this probably gives mushroom blocks. New blocks are always awesome.

Wait until after 1.8, since we'll probably end up doing a map reset anyways.
And yeah, how about that name huh? When Exano and I saw that it was called Minecraft: Pocket Edition, we sighed a big sigh of relief knowing that we're on the Market with Mojang's permission lol

I hope rivers are more complex than "river-shaped lakes." I want things like rivers starting and ending at different altitudes, from mountains to seas. If not that, at least flowing water blocks in the river to provide current.

Rivers really will be nice.

I understand that but I don't think I'm asking for much. Although this is the first shot of rivers in action, I'm just saying I hope they turn out to be greater than the bare minimum. I trust he will make them very interesting features to the code (and one I've been begginf for), I just hope that they will be more than just a superficial change to the lake code.Ranger X said:
Notch amazes me with some of the features Minecraft had. I just hope it continues. That's all.

Boy, I did a lot last night in my single player world.
I built a fully functioning boat house and dock out on the shore near my base of operations. It has a simple pair of gates with a switch inside next to a boat dispenser for when I inevitably break my boat (or so I can grab a spare before departing on my trip just in case). Mostly made of wood but the dock is stone and gray wool for padding. Next to the boat house I have a small Sugar Cane farm I plan on expanding (I need more bookcases), I also built a proper wheat farm with rows of wheat surrounded by a canal and barred off from animals with fences and automatic doors.
Besides that I spelunked even deeper into my cavern. I don't know if they're infinitely large but I haven't found an end to it yet after hours upon hours of digging. I guess I just keep breaking into connected caverns. I didn't set up any system originally to help me navigate it so I began placing Redstone Torches along the wall to make it easier to find the way out. I also have a few exits around the surrounding landscape that I discovered and marked with a tower. I JUST learned yesterday I could create a map so that's helped a TON finding my way back.
Before I quit last night I built a Portal not too far from my base. I'm hoping creatures don't spawn out of it but I'll probably dig into that soon.

Awesome, started using this Spahx PureBD texture pack yesterday and it's amazing. I'm not really a fan of the realistic style in this game and the cell-shaded art is really fitting. Thanks for the recommendation!Bootaaay said:

Or another game altogether?
FUCK YOU NOTCH TELL US.

One thing I really hope Mojang adds to MP next patch is the ability to see a "Who's Online" kind of window when you hit TAB. Every other game uses this button for seeing scores and such... I just wanna see who's online without typing /who

Yeah, I think it's a simplified map of the land. Shows biomes and landmasses and such. I really like it. I've always loved minecraft's land generation algorithm, but as great as it is, when scaled over huge distances, everything just becomes homogeneous archipelagos. As much as it might be challenging, nothing sounds better to me than biomes that take at least a day to cross. I want it so if I spawn in a desert, I have to learn to live in a desert.

Couple noob questions:
1) In Multiplayer how does the Save system work? Do you create a character and then move that character between different servers (like Terraria does it for example) or do you have one character per world?
2) I'm not sure how out-dated the information in the OPs are but I'd like to try my hand at some multiplayer Minecraft. What's the basic rundown on how it works on the NeoGAF server(s)? I'd like to jump in, find a spot in the world, and mine/build stuff (out in the wilderness) but I understand there's a system in place to prevent griefing. What's the proper method to gain the privileges necessary to do that?

I was thinking that, too, but I know we shouldn't.
Move spawn I guess.
Houston3000 said:
1) It's not like Terraria where you're out too much if you switch characters. On another world your character is the just fresh and new I suppose. There isn't much to lose compared to Terraria.
2) you can do all of that. you log in and ask to be a civilian, then you can build and dig. Just don't destroy houses, steal from chests (which is nearly impossible since most people mark their chests private), and just be cool.

I wish there was some way to take the community projects over to a new map, because there's some awesome stuff built in those places and it would be a huge shame to lose them.
Bootaaay said:
So much on this current map could be taken over, the only problem is that a lot of it is incorporated into the surrounding landscape. Importing entire hills and landscapes makes the process even more difficult and time consuming than it already would be.
Whilst I really don't want to lose everything we've done so far (Rest assured I'll put the map up for public download so everyone can check it out) but on the plus side, everyone gets to start off on a clean sheet and at the same level.
If that's true, I am definitely starting a new world on my family server when it comes out! I've wanted real continents and rivers forever. I just hope they're fairly big sized.
1.8... PAX can't come soon enough. Hopefully all of this stuff will be shown off and a release date will be announced.

Yeah, if it's feasible that would be really cool - I've also seen mods for Bukkit that let you set up barriers, which would stop people pushing up the file size of the old map.
