Finally figured out how to make coal with the furnace to craft some torches! So I start digging out stairs in my mountain side home, I keep chipping away then all of a sudden an opening opens up into an underground cave system infested with baddies so I die and lose all my materials 
. Still was exciting and I plan to build some weapons so I can go down there and explore. This game is amazing, ive only heard the name minecraft before purchasing this on wednesday, didnt expect it to be this good.
EDIT:What brick material is used to make a bed? Is there anything that says the materials required besides the icon?

So i mined myself right into a lava pit.

Edit: well that was bad. i went outside to get some food and the exploding guy was there... I ran into the house forgot to close the door.
1.Hes in my mine
2.I have no food
3. I have one heart...

hahah. Had some of those moments yesterday. Having monsters in your safe zone you worked so hard to forge is just downright depressing. My fortress of solitude was tainted.

Highlight whatever you want to build, hit X twice, it'll show materials. For a bed it is 3 wool and 3 wooden planks.

The tunnel system below my stronghold has become the home of the monsters. Even during the day.
The limit just got raised (7 years ago) The game is absolutely worth those 1600 points.
Protip: Monsters don't come out at night. They spawn in the dark. Night time just happens to be dark like your tunnels are dark.
Shits worth it man.
Luckily i had best buy credit so it was free.99 from there online store.
Edit: i got out of my situation. Trapped the creeper and killed him with my sword. Got back to my house and killed some pigs. All is well. Haven't died once on this map.

May contain jokes =>
I dunno that there ever was a limit. Bankshot Billiards was 1200 points forever ago.

I developed a really good way of mining for diamonds (and of course other minerals). It'll be too complicated to write out what I do specifically, but I can tell you that after about 2 hours, I gathered about 40 diamonds.
An easy way to explain it is dig long 2x2 tunnels at about 8 blocks above bedrock.
Anyway, here are some shots of my castle and current house project:

Holy crap Yeti!!! That looks freakin majestic! Makes me want to quit my world and just go live in yours. Love the alternate steps you created up that hill.

It was this series of comics and the Minecraft Inception trailer that really sold me on this game. I played the free weekend a week later and bought it the second Paypal had come back up.
I've been on record saying this is my favorite game since the SNES era and I'm not embarassed for having said that.

Nope. If the game wasn't worth it then the game wouldn't be worth it, but I'm not prepared to say there aren't games worth 20 bucks, because clearly there are. I bought Crysis 1 on XBL for 20 as well. My daughter wife and I have already put over 20 hours collectively into Minecraft. I'm looking at 60 bucks for Max Payne and they're saying its 7 hours long at the maximum.

This is the first game I've played in a long time where I haven't noticed the hours just flying past.

So I tried the demo. There's no option to enable the classic lighting anywhere - not "Smooth Lighting: ON/OFF", not "Ambient Occlusion: ON/OFF", nothing.
Which sucks, because breaking a single block in a dim cave and making out what's behind it is pretty much impossible with smooth lighting. :E

Guys, did you use any seed?
I'm using Elfen Lied and it's pretty awesome. Moreover, being so rich of mountains it kinda fixes the world size issue. It really takes time to explore.
ps.
this is what I'm talking about

I did. I had already bought the game so I gave it to a friend who has been down sick all week.
I've only played the pc version, and quite extensively at that, but if theres one thing I could change about my time with mc is I wish I hadnt actually joined a server, or atleast waiting longer. Sure multiplayer is great fun, but there was something special about playing single player and being all alone. Now I've been spoiled by /home and such so the game is less frightening with the possibility of getting lost gone.

A handful of people did, myself included.
Seeing as it's cheaper then the PC version and can provide 50+ hours EASY i would say no, no it's not.
Even if you spend 20 hours on it that to me is worth $20 of my money.
EDIT-
How do you take pictures? someone told me hit start then Y but that does absolutely nothing.

Its so cool seeing all these people experiencing Minecraft for the first time, it reminds me of my first few weeks with it.

Start then Y which is 'Share'. Give it a name or tag. And then you have to log into Facebook and post it to your account.
Just started this today. The PC version, since I don't have an Xbox, but this is the only active Minecraft thread. I'll get back to it soon but when I left off I was stuck in a very deep and dark hole that I dug for no reason, and most of my tools are busted. Is there a way to suicide or am I going to have to slowly punch my way to freedom?
There is no autosave. If it saves correctly your inventory will be correct.
Sweet. Good to know when I start playing this tomorrow
Oh, how do you get the wood premium dashboard theme? By sharing a photo on Facebook?Smelt it into smooth stone?

Smelt it into smooth stone?
Im doing that now
I love the look of the worlds with giant mountains and floating chunks. If you dig on the floating ones, is there bedrock at the bottom will you actually dig out and fall?
That was my sign to make a giant ass cobblestone house.

Big-ass Ramp
hella bullets that's true
how do you guys build these big rooms without having baddies spawn there? Everytime my rooms get too big, mob starts popping up inside
Go into your Xbox privacy settings and enable Social Network Sharing.

Torches, torches and more torches.
When you start a world it asks for the world name and then a seed which is just a collection of letters and/or numbers which is attributed to a specific world generation. For example mine is World Name: Glenville, Seed: gargamel.
Go overboard on your lighting. Another useful tip to to make the floor out of half-slabs. Mobs wont be able to spawn on there.

Lots and lots of torches

Don't think there is a way to kill yourself...even letting your hunger bar empty completely will only get you down to half a heart.
Also, there is a MC PC thread in the Gaming Community section it's not incredibly active but if you post there someone will respond.
