Minecraft Fanmade Trailer

I haven't gotten lost in a game this badly since Total War :D

Anyone else play it?

Haha, the melodramatic trailer is very awesome. Don't mean to be a buzzkill, but I don't get the appeal.

[ByzantineKnight]

but I don't get the appeal.

You get to make your own

I enjoy the sandbox world and just the way everything reacts to everything else and its a interesting, unique concept without all the flashy graphics that most games depend on to sell

I thought it looked stupid until I saw Seananners's videos on Youtube and I kinda fell in love with it, I've already pulled 2 all-nighters trying to get more mining in

[pevergreen]

Its of no attraction for me, but the guy who built a functioning ALU...well, I just don't see how that works in game (having not played it and not knowing what its capable of)

[ByzantineKnight]

that guy was insane I have no idea how he got it to work either

Right now, the game is kinda like Oblivion. It has a super mega WOW factor for about 5-10 hours, and you'll get a huge kick out of it. But then it wears off quickly. Keep in mind the game is alpha stage, but eventually it is supposed to allow user created content and heavy modding. My biggest beef right now is there isn't any real "high level" mining gear that lets me mine a lot of blocks quickly. The Halloween update coming at the end of the month is supposed to have some pretty big new features in it, but it's a month away at this point, and it appears that it's basically precluded Friday Updates for now. Notch is having a hell of a time getting his new business started, and it's taking it's toll on his ability to write code for the game.

Soo.... updates are slow for the time being. I'd say it's worth the money though, the end result is supposed to be 20 euro, right now it's half as much and reasonably good fun.

Oh. I was wrong. So, very, very wrong.

And another falls to the darkside.

Me and two of my other friends got this game around a month back and have been playing single player mostly or on our locally set up peaceful servers. Loving this game.
However, work progresses very slowly and since I updated to 1.501 I've been experiencing a lag :(
So what I wanted to ask is that is there any mod using which I can build maps and structures and then import them into the game....I've already tried a few including McEdit and Structure Planner but the former I found quite tedious and the latter, I couldn't even get to start....So all suggestions are appreciated.

I'm sorry, I have no clue about those programs and have never tried to do what you are doing. Did you try the minecraft forums?

Oh. I was wrong. So, very, very wrong.

Hey Veho is that server still up? I've been playing for about a couple months now and I want to try out some multiplayer.

The AWP admins havent updated it since like 1.2. So no, but I do have another server you can play on. Its run by my cousin, and the rules are pretty lenient. Basic, don't grief. It gets backed up all the time and he is pretty quick when it comes to updating it.

I did actually but I couldn't find anything that is considered to be better than McEdit....
I guess I'll just keep slogging with it.

Same. It's like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You really don't see the appeal until you experience it for yourself.
