K.os Theory Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I decided to purchase Minecraft over the weekend ( hungover on new years day ) and have been absolutely hooked since. I'm just wondering if anyone else plays? http://www.minecraft.net/
ans Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I played for a bit but ultimately failed to see the point. It's just a 3D lego simulator. I gave it a good shot though, I had other friends raving about it so I did try to "get it". That said, I really think it should be looked as as a model for how mapping tools should be created for FPS games. I used to spend weeks of my life mapping for Quake1 and Half Life and having that sort of dynamic world construction kit would have been awesome.
tribz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I decided to purchase Minecraft over the weekend ( hungover on new years day ) and have been absolutely hooked since. I'm just wondering if anyone else plays? http://www.minecraft.net/ Just started playing it myself. I'm sure I had some work I had to do today but I spent it building a tunnel between my outpost and castle!
Jools Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I've been playing it for a couple of months now, only on single player though, I haven't ventured into multiplayer yet. Its a good little time-waster but some people playing it go totally overboard creating huge structures like the USS Enterprise or the World Trade Centre, and I believe one guy even built a working 8-bit computer, but I cant get my head around redstone wiring to understand it.

I have bad news, if you don't find the idea of a big 3D lego simulator exciting your inner child has died. Sorry. Used to run a server but took it down because notch seems to enjoy breaking the server software every week. Might put one up again when it's more stable.
K.os Theory Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 I'm really just getting used to everything, only realised last nite you can turn the monsters off! nothing worse than having a few hours work ruined by a creeper! I've not touched on the multiplayer yet, but it could be fun!
thebees Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Finger on pulse.......my son has been going on and on and on and on about this game so we got it at Christmas, way ace. Thanks for turn off monsters info K.os they gang up on me and then I lose all my stuff and it's off with the stupid fucking broken pile of shit machine. I have not been doing very well on single player so I wouldn't venture into the world world. Good game though.
K.os Theory Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 I need to get it installed on my puta again, there are some quite stunning mods out there that make it look incredible...
Wilbert Hickmann Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 My kids have been avid minecrafters for 12 months now, but ipads for christmas have put paid to that...for now
somewhatdamaged Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 My friends and I play it regularly, i host a server at home which we all use. If you would like to play with us you're welcome to, i can PM you the IP As far as mods, i use LB Photo Realism which looks really good Why anyone would turn the monsters off baffles me! Isnt the whole point of it that you can lose everything by a rogue skeleton arrow or sneaky creeper Ace game. @Helix - my server is rock solid, as soon as an update comes out i stick it on, no problems so far
thebees Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, I have made a bed now so I can sleep through the night rapidly, I do not mind the odd monster but they were picking on me, I think MDO programmed them.
HeliX Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 @Helix - my server is rock solid, as soon as an update comes out i stick it on, no problems so far Aye, but I made that post two years ago It's considerably more stable now
thebees Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Ooooh I was going soooo well, I hate this game.
Slim Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Can't wait to get home and try the new Pi version
