**For discussion about modding Minecraft, go to https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3954051 (there might be a newer thread).** What is Minecraft? Minecraft is a sandbox game that takes place in a sprawling 3d block world. The player must explore the world to collect materials that can be used to craft tools and to create buildings and structures. The object of the game is to survive and to express your creativity! Minecraft is an independent game primarily made by Markus "Notch" Persson. It has sold over 4 million copies and has received many awards and accolades such as PC Gamer UK "Game of the Year" and the 2010 Indie of the Year Award. Fan vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIhs8_m5qPc Screenshots:      Gameplay When you first start the game in single player, a random and infinitely large earth-like world is created and you are spawned in the middle of it. You start with no belongings and must acquire materials in order to craft tools and to build a shelter to protect yourself from monsters. Players must cut down trees and mine stone to craft tools such as shovels, picks and axes. You can dig deep into the ground and explore mines to find rare materials such as iron, gold, and diamonds to build stronger and more durable tools, weapons, and armor. Once you've built a shelter, it's up to you to decide what your goals are and what you want to do in your world. This can range from building complex machines out of redstone to building huge themed worlds, but usually involves building a cobblestone castle or lewd pixel art. Getting started Here is a short and simple video that describes how to survive the first night: https://youtu.be/j7K95fFzVBU?t=32 *note: Craft a shovel and axe too. Stupid kid!!! There was a better video here but it got deleted. Once you watch that, almost all beginner questions can be answered on the minecraft wiki: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki For example, here are all the tools that can be crafted: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tools Other items that can be crafted can be found linked on this page, including food, armor, vehicles & decorations: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Items Multiplayer Perhaps the best way to play Minecraft is in multiplayer mode where you can join a server to play with other people on the same world. This makes it easier to show off your work and allows you to collaborate with other people and to see what other people can create up close. There are several goon Minecraft servers. You can find them in the Private Game Servers subforum: http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=93 How do I get the game? https://www.minecraft.net You can play an old version of the game with limited features in your browser for free on the Minecraft website: https://classic.minecraft.net/ Expert Minecraftin' Texture packs and mods There are many user-made texture packs and mods that you can use to change the look and play of the game.

What do I do??? -If you have a 64 bit OS, make sure you have the 64 bit version of Java. This is a very common solution to problems with the game. -Lower the view distance in the video settings. -Make sure "Advanced OpenGL" is ON (It's OFF by default). This culls hidden blocks and can increase frame rate dramatically. -Close any programs you are running, including your browser (this can help a lot). -Also try... How to get Minecraft to run with more memory for possibly better performance Make a shortcut, target "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar "C:\{path to minecraft.exe}\Minecraft.exe" Make sure you actually have significantly more than 4 gigs of RAM or it won't work.

Adventure Maps Adventure maps are worlds created by users that have a story and some kind of challenge to them. You can download these maps and unpack them into your Minecraft directory, then load them from the single player menu to play them. Many adventure maps will have custom texture packs that you should (or must) enable as well. Here are several goon made adventure maps. Be sure to read the documentation included and the op for any specific instructions. For example a lot of adventure maps disallow building and/or breaking blocks: [GOURD AVENGER!] by Akito12345 op Gourd Avenger 2 - The Gourdening by Akito12345 op Millenium by RhysD op Professor Grizwald and the Curse of the Pyramid by Chronobasher op Professor Grizwald and the Redstone Keys by Chronobasher op Splintered Coast, Sampler: Isle of Lume by Vib Rib op The Dare by R.L. Stine op The Eye by RhysD op The hunt for Prick Friggen by Howmuch op The Journey by Macaluso op The Return by toggle op The Shining Arches by Shuffle op The Tree of Life by toggle op -The Tower of Xotl by Akito12345 op The Water Temple by Erek: -Part 1: Finding a way in op -Part 2, The Eastern Mines op -Part 3, Noema op -Part 4, The Western Gardens op The Wizard Burgmund by toggle op Valley De La Seda by Cybermg op If you enjoy any of these feel free to post in the thread to let the author know! More non-goon maps can be found in the Minecraft forums "Maps" subforum: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum/53-maps/ Tips -How to build a fireplace -Find a cave! There are caves everywhere in minecraft, usually a not-too-distant walk from wherever you spawn. It's easier to find coal and iron in caves since there is a lot of exposed stone. -Can't find coal? Make charcoal! You can make charcoal by burning a wood log in a furnace, which can be used just like regular coal to make torches. You can use another piece of wood to burn the log. -To see your coordinates, hit f3. The Y coordinate is your height. y:128 = highest point. y:0 = bedrock. If you're lost, head towards x:0 z:0 which is usually near your spawn. -Diamonds only appear deep underground below where y=20. So if you're going to be mining, it's best to do it around y=15 closer to bedrock where you might find diamonds. But watch out for lava! -You can make smooth stone by burning cobble in a furnace. -You can change your spawn point by crafting a bed and sleeping in it at night. Make sure you are in a closed room or monsters will get you! -If you want to craft a lot of items at once, click both mouse buttons together. Also hold Shift while left clicking to move items quickly in and out of chests. courtesy of goon Above Our Own: -Never take anything into an unsecured mine that you would hate losing. Stash your diamonds and precious ores in chests, at the very least. -Never ever mine the square directly above or beneath you. You might unleash a suffocating column sand or a torrent of lava, or you may plummet into a cave full of monstery death. -You must use a pick to mine. If you don't, you'll just destroy blocks without getting any stone/ore. -You must use the appropriate pick to mine certain ores. You need at least a stone pick to mine iron, and at least an iron pick to mine almost everything else. -Obsidian can only be mined with a diamond pick. -Lava is extremely dangerous, a single contact with a lava square will usually burn you to death. Carry a bucket of water on you at all times, and quickly douse yourself if you catch fire. -You neutralize lava by pouring water onto it. This will turn lava springs into obsidian and lava flows into cobblestone. -Lava will destroy any items that touch it. You can throw unwanted inventory items into lava for this purpose, and be wary of mining blocks directly above lava flows. -It's very easy to get lost in deep cave complexes. Find a method of marking your trail. -Bring an excess of wood with you for deep mining excursions, as it's the only material you'll never find naturally in mines. [edit: you can now find some wood in abandoned mine shafts] -Buckets of lava can be dumped into rooms to destroy monsters very effectively, but the lava will also burn away the loot they drop. courtesy of goon palamedes: -If you find mossy cobblestone, a little cage with a little monster inside, or a chest you didn't build, you've found a treasure room. The cage is a breakable monster spawner and the chests contain random loot. -Lava doesn't destroy chests, so you can safely use it to clear out an infested treasure room.

Hey this is a really really good OP!!! Are there any mods that work like an adventure mode, in that, there is a point to the single player/survival portion? I feel like there would be a way to combine the survival aspect, with a roguelike, forcing you to build / find / complete tasks and eventually kill some boss or something. I am not creative, so a goal, other than to build, would be great. And most mods i've played aren't very inspiring. I like the building, I just wish there was a reason. EDIT: Maybe this belongs in the mod thread, but really, i'm hoping for a game mode that provides new challenges.

I suppose I'm going to get back into this with the Adventure Update. I haven't played much lately because I'm not creative enough for single player, and pretty much every SMP server I join people treat it like single player with a chat room.

I think the Minecraft Structure Planner is worth adding to the "Utilities". It lets you plan out structures prior to building them, offering individual floor views, as well as a fully zoomed out 3D model. I used it for this on Wilson's SMP server.  I'd probably have used it more but I haven't really built anything since.

We have a small LAN multiplayer server in an apartment that loses Internet connectivity every so often. When the Internet goes down it would be great to be able to pass the time playing Minecraft, however Multiplayer is disabled entirely without an internet connection. We use a local IP to connect to the server. Is there a way to tell Minecraft to let us play when the Internet isn't working?

So I reinstalled Minecraft after some time off, and now it runs like total crap on two of my machines where it ran perfectly before. Both are less than a year old and the desktop is fairly powerful. Did something change, is this a common problem people have noticed with the last couple versions, and are there any tricks to fix it?

So this may be the place to post pictures of projects, I guess. Here's my newest house, which I scouted out and built simply because I wanted to make a piston bridge. Bridge down, you can see the waterfall structure at the front:  Bridge up:  Here's the waterfall structure up close you can see some Redstone inside:  This is the inside of that room.  These are the Open and Close command buttons for the door on the outside. I have setup of two sticky pistons with cobble as my door. It took me the better part of the night to figure out how to wire it correctly, mostly because I never messed with Redstone before building this:  And here's some pictures of the top floor, which is going to be a little nature sanctuary with some glass for the roof eventually:

I've built an entranceway to my eventually large home of sorts, and I used these sticky piston doors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=346yRSqWot8&NR=1 Is there some way with minimal absurd redstone garbage to make doors like this safe from monsters and baby ducks wandering into my home, or to 'disable' them while I'm inside by pulling a switch?

glug posted:I've built an entranceway to my eventually large home of sorts, and I used these sticky piston doors. Is there such a thing as minimal insane redstone garbage? You could hook up a lever on the inside to an AND gate that also connects to the redstone coming from the pressure plates, in between the plates and their connection to the pistons. Here's a tutorial, where he has the 2 switches, you'd have the switch connected to one side, and all the pressure plates connected to the other. For the love of god, mute this horrible thing if you watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpvJ9wiywL4#t=129s That way, with the lever in the on position, hitting the plates would open the door, with the lever in the off position, hitting the pressure plates would do nothing, as an AND gate is only on if both its inputs are on. Sadly, it'll probably take up at lest 2x the space as the clean door you have now for routing the wires so that stray signals don't hop all over the place.

It'd be better to have levers on the inside and outside wired into a XOR which outputs into an AND with the pressure plates, and then wire the output of the AND into the pistons.

The one time I tried building double iron doors I realized what a goddamned mess it is to build *any* gate, and how much underground space it requires. I'm having enough of a time wiring up two tone doorbells to these existing gates now. That being said, putting two stone blocks across the middle of the 3x2 doorway when I'm inside results in piles of gunpowder, features and arrows.

You may be better off running the NOR gate I have in the pictures above. It's fairly simple, not as nice as just having the door open via pressure pad, but it works with buttons. The only issue is that you'll need one for opening and closing in the door on both sides. The nice thing is that the circuit itself is fairly compact, about six squares before you wire any of the buttons.

Man, sometimes this game pisses me off. I built that door I linked, and a second one not too far away. Two entrances on either side of my eventual big-rear end building on a mountain. There were only about three spaces between the closest section of redstone. I put another line in the middle of them, connecting four total note boxes to make a four-note doorbell. I linked them in from both sides of doors via repeater, added a few more to delay the notes, and everything looked great. I log out to save and fire up fraps, figuring I'll try and do a video of this. Fire it back up, and now all of the doors are hosed, everything is stuck open, and creepers are all like SUP NO DOORS and blowing all my hard work up (along with me). Does 1.7 still have that redstone torches forget they are working bug or something, where I might have to reset a torch to fix a circuit? That poo poo is unacceptable  Moreso because it seems that my buildings all attract about 50% creepers, all day, hoppin' in my poo poo.Night. Maybe tomorrow I'll rebuild this poo poo I wasted an hour+ playing with

Since there is a new thread I decided to upload some pictures of my single player world that I've had for quite a while. Some of it is combined from even older maps that I merged into this one when I found out about MCEdit's import function. I figured I should show them off so they can be seen by people other than me and my "why are you making those" commenting girlfriend. They aren't terribly amazing but I had fun building them. PS, these pictures are pretty huge: This is a birds eye view of the main area I started with. My 'main' room is underwater near the middle island. I built a bunch of pathways & minecart transit routes using glass floors with lava underneath, and some others with glowstone. I didn't include close ups of all the houses because the interiors are mostly similiar. I also have minecart lines going around the whole area.  View of the observatory with the barn behind (minecart route also pictured)  Said barn and my Mo' Creatures horses  Off to the right of the birds eye picture is my Castle in the Sky, I fully admit using MCEdit to make it symmetrical and on bubbly clouds.  In the court yard I have a bunch of shops, on the opposite side some living quarters.  Inside the Keep  Also near the castle I have a port I was inspired to build from some images in this thread.  Loading dock  Inside the port building, I tend to end up with cramped interiors  Underground Nether portal  The exit of the Nether out on an ice shelf, with a cabin behind  The first house I built on the other side of the Nether portal  The ancient Pyramid I covered in 'moss'. I placed the same one in the Nether under some lava waterfalls and I think in my mind they were linked in some back story I didn't make up yet:  However despite that the inside was gutted and is a Nether Museum  The area above it shows all the treasures someone found before the thing got commercialized  The Pyramid also leads to an underwater cafe. I replaced the mud texture with the wine texture so I could have some more decorative tiles. The microwave is from the Plastic mod (this was 1.5 I think).  Next to the cafe is another living area, I built the little house entrance because I thought it was funny.  Despite how much of a bitch it is building underwater, I sure love doing it. One thing I always did was build these structures pretending there was some sort of mythology behind my whole area, despite never really making one. Do other people do this or am I just an adult whizzing around my lego dudes in the air giving them names and missions before supper?

I've got this self-sustaining communist megacity battling it out against the capitalist swine trying to ruin their government controlled economy through imports... it's good fun.

Hopefully this will mean less bugs upon release.
