Minecrafters, assemble!

Alright. Well, anyone who wants to play shoot me a private message and I'll give you the IP.
 
Hehe, I went a little treehouse made in my creator mode...made a huge lapiz tree topping a massive cave system (unfinished) in the side of a mountain with dual water/lava flows into pools outside the entrance to the caves...my lapiz tree has now been surrounded by wood and has big gashes in it where there a some windows...working on the leaves :( which are an absolute nightmare...

Treehouse? COPIER! :p Yeah, there's big fan wars on Youtube over a bunch of things. Treehouse was a theme of a few Minecraft playthroughs of a group of guys called The Creatures. But damn it, I wish my Infinity tower world wasn't corrupted, that thing was awesome. It rose a total of 165 blocks with a perimeter total of 31. Not too big compared to many projects, but it looked awesome. I even had portals on top of it.
 
Haha I know...It started as a tower of lapis...but it looked too blue, and as it was on top of a mountain I made it into a giant tree...technically all the living stuff is in the caves in the mountain as it is really a tree tower with a glass roof...hehehe my lava/water falls and pools were fun to make...in my survival world I kept losing where all my stuff was, so I built a load of skyways with spiral stairs (one block wide) which I'll probably try and do better in my creative world...oh yeah, and I'm partway through building a labyrinth in the nextdoor mountain...
 
Sounds fine to me. What you really should do in survival is build close to spawn then make a compass. Redstone and Lapiz are roughly along the same levels.


As for what's happened to my current character, well...far from home, she's currently out amongst islands somewhere, one of which would have been perfect for Bikanel except for the plains biome in the middle. :p
 
haha I spawned in a snowy forest biome...I got lost in about 5 seconds...the skyways were the only easy way to find anything hehe

I'll try and work out how to take pics of it...well the tree lava thing at least...
 
Snow biomes tend to be forested, so that's where you should try to build a base if you spawn there. I prefer spawning in snow biomes than anything. But, my current spawn wasn't the worst...


The worst I've ever spawned on was a three-block sized island near a dirt mountain with not one single tree in sight surrounded by ocean. :p
 
Heavens to Betsy! This little guy jumped me and beat me out of twenty-nine hard-earnt levels before I knew what was happening:

And I'd just left the house to check if my reed farm had grown enough to let me make the last few bookcases I wanted before I started enchanting things. :(

I figured this was another addition to the incredible 1.6.1/1.6.2 update (the game has been rebalanced! After the enchanting and potion mechanics allowed the player to become overly powerful, things were too easy, but Dinnerbone has been working on mobs and now it's hard again. Zombies track from a hundred blocks away, spawn friends, and call friends when they are attacked, creating instahordes; and spider can spawn with potion effects - including invisibility! I'm scared to go caving), but Baby Zombies have apparently been in since 1.4.2 (last October!). The only change to them was made in 1.6.2, and they can now spawn.

It has been some time since I played, but snow biomes were always my least favourite. Jungles had some beastly trees and vegetation, so I always preferred nice grass plains. As soon as you found a skeleton spawner you'd have enough fertiliser to keep your wood industry going forever :)
 
Don't get me started on jungle biomes... hate them! Fair enough if you're looking to build a treehouse of huge proportions, but for every other build, jungles are hideous. What doesn't help is that in fifteen out of twenty new worlds I start, I end up spawning in the middle of a tree (in the other five - four see me spawn in the middle of a tree in a snow biome, and that last one is usually plains, which is where I then build)...

My current spawn is in plains, with extreme hills to the immediate east (twenty blocks or so) and west, a ravine and more plains to the south, and desert, jungle, and snow to the immediate north (again, about twenty blocks).
 
I played multiplayer with my nephews a while back. I built a tree house with a secret ladder down the middle of one of the trees :)
 
Yeah one of those little devils jumped me recently too by surprise!

Minecraft - peaceful and calm building then - BAM either you fall off a ledge to your doom or a zombie appears (though bone archers are still the most deadly! )
 
I love playing minecraft! Although, I (unfortunately) have it cracked, and can't get 1.6.2... Although, once I get my driver's license, and job, that will easily be remedied!
 
My brother god bored so set up a mumble voice server and got another minecraft server - we've got a small fort set up at spawn, we've got 3 horses kitted out with armour and saddles and a steady supply of chicken and moocow :)

It's...not the best. The loader isn't a big deal, but what I really disliked about it was the shift from texture packs to resource packs.


I guess my biggest gripe was that the texture pack I was using for most of the time is now really outdated and resource packs are such a nightmare haul that I can't find one that fits the dreary moodiness I like.
 
Good lord, the things you people make!

No One bought the Xbox version of this for me as a super early birthday present. Damn, but it's addictive, we've both been playing it for hours on end, taking it in turns (though we're going to start a map together soon).

I built a small castle for myself yesterday, with two guard towers and various rooms. My favourite is the large room at the back with a huge window that takes up most of one wall and an oak mezzanine area for my bed.

Creepers are the most annoying little ***** ever made. Luckily I have now crafted enough armour so I don't immediately explode too.

I love finding old, abandoned mines. I finally struck gold the other day, and loads of redstone. Yet to find anything better than that, though.

If I build anything amazing I'll post it, but so far I'm just in awe of the things being built by you lot!
 
Yay Hoopy joined!

Heh anyone with server setup we should really try having a Chrons Minecraft MP world!

And yes exploring, building and evading those evil creepers - although personally I much far fear and hate the bone archers who strike from afar!
