Minecraft is a block based game in development by Notch, one of the makers of Wurmonline.
Right now there is not much more than sandbox Lego like gameplay but more is being added every week, multiplayer just came today even.

At the moment all you can really do is dig and build stuff, it's a big sandbox at this point but more is getting added all the time.

posting this here so when it gets shitted on even worse than it currently is, people will know its (somewhat) pure form. as soon as i got outside someone already pooped a giant cross on the roof and a few more all around.

I saw a guy build a sauna and bar underneath that giant building. after my attempt to annoy by making a hidden room and bursting out in front of him cool-aid style backfired I simply dug a tunnel for the water to get in and flooded the whole thing.

I feel bad now. :/

EDIT: whop he called me a fucker all bets are off.

Did the server go down? I just finished leveling a lake bed and then building an island fort and was about to start my underground/water passageway entrance and I got disconnected

Seems like a fun little game though it would be more fun if I could actually dig and stuff :I

Which game came first? This one or Infiniminer? Because both look too drat alike.

Also does Minecraft have the same potential for greifing like Infiniminer did? Sappers and modded games ahoy!

Currently, one cannot die. But we'll see during development.

Oh, and how much can the server hold? Right now it's full, and it may be a good idea to have two goon servers.

16 players.
Also Infiniminer came first, apparently it inspired this one.

I dug down until I fell into lava, and then dug down below that.

You know, we could pretty much make a dwarf fortress.

This is a lot of mindless fun. I can't wait to see the improvements in terms of resource gathering or collapsing tunnels, but as it is, it's pretty fun.

I think I found your hole. There was a medium shaft leading down to some magma, and then a much smaller hole next to the magma that went straight down. Before the server bit it, I was turning it into a magma/water factory with a spiral staircase around the original shaft.
Edit: Unless of course you were playing singleplayer.

T doesn't do anything noticable. What should it do?

Also, can you noclip? That'd make construction a whole lot easier, but I have to say making scaffolding to work from is pretty fun in itself.

So anybody have any ideas why my mouse buttons don't work in this game? I can select different block types with the mouse wheel but building or digging is impossible. I can still click things in the menu too which makes this all the more aggravating.
