I've been playing for over a year now, mostly messing around in single player (on peaceful so it was pretty much virtual lego all the way).

I decided to change that with 1.8, so I ventured into the difficulty settings and chose Hard.

Holy poo poo! This game!

I spawned on a beach, no trees in sight. I had to swim for a while until I found an island with a shitload of trees. Ok, great, now I have the basics to create tools.
Armed with my wooden sword and pick , I headed back to my spawn. Not far from the spawn I found an entrance to a huge cave system which was raided by me and my trusty wooden sword.

After the creeper/zombie/skeleton apocalypse in the cave system I was equipped with a shitload of coal, iron, gold and one diamond sword.

I had to go explore since that seems to be the popular thing to do. Now, my previous way of playing was to find a nice spot to build a shitload of stuff and just go mining in the immediate area.

In my travels I found two abandoned villages, stole their crops and kept on going on my way in search of a worthy landscape for my soon to be home.

While riding my boat up a river the game suddenly stopped.. Out of memory!
Never ever seen this error before.

I quit the game and decided to try the "give minecraft the memory it deserves" trick.

Why the hell didn't I ever do this before ??
The game jumped from 25fps to 40fps!

I just have to recommend that everybody at least tries this if their game is at least bit laggy. (info in the OP)

And just so that my post has more than boring text in it, this is my current home:

If you have wheat in your hand, they will follow you.

So I found a LARGE ocean seed on SeedMiner.

I'm boating along into the ocean trying to find an isolated island, and I come across two 1x1 glass pillars reaching up into what appears to be the limit in the sky. They both go underwater and into the ground; I don't have any supplies so digging down underwater is pretty hard.

Is this just an oddity from map generating, or is it some strange feature the engine builds on purpose?

It's a marker for an underground stronghold.

Right, I've looked through the last two dozen pages, can't find the answer, but I know it's been posted at least once before. How do I switch from survival to creative? I need about 2000 m2 of lava, and gently caress heading to the Nether that much. Bastard pig-men ganged up on me twice when I tried to shoot down a harassing Ghast and one of the pig-men stepped in front of my arrow.

And besides, I also need to dig up a desert and I'm only doing 1 stupid-long project for this.

Also, can we get the answer put into the OP? I've got this feeling that I'm something like #10 to ask this.

The hunt for Prick Friggen (by Howmuch)

It's a pretty lovely map, if I do say so myself. So it's better off dead.

But I did make another one, but not really an adventure map, it's more in the tune of the maps Vechs makes.

The way this episode went, I really don't know which one I'd recommend.

I've been subscribed to Guude and BdoubleO since they did their Legendary series(would recommend that if you have spare time to watch idiots playing a really hard map) so I started off with Guude, but as soon as something happened to somebody described in the chat, I paused the video to check that view.

But Kurt seems like a winner.

Surprisingly, none of them have classic youtuber voice. BDoubleO is my favorite since he sounds like Timothy Hutton. DocM sounds like Ahnold and is pretty inept, from what I've seen. Baj is doing the Bear Grylls schtick. Etho is boringly competent.

I don't remember what it was exactly, but a while ago I watched videos of two teams competing on some weird symmetrical competitive map. I think I recognize some of the names from this thing as being a part of that (not 100% sure).

I thought that concept was really cool and I'm wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about and if there's been any more of that type of thing.

That's probably Race For the Wool competitions.

For some weird reason Baj voice is really low in his own videos making him sound really disinterested.

I remember watching some video the other day where he explained this.

He (and Doc) has to stay up pretty drat late to play with the other guys which most are located in America and his girlfriend/wife is sleeping while he's recording and he doesn't want to wake her up.

The same reason why he did his voiceover post-recording in the last season.

edit: well, I guess I read that wrong... "his own videos", but it does explain his commentary in the UH series.

I wasn't talking about memory, I was talking about learning to begin with. It seems to me Minecraft is unplayable outside of Creative mode unless you have read a wiki beforehand. What in the game teaches you that

code:
Wood Wood Wood
   Stick
   Stick
equals pickaxe? Or even hints at it? I would be genuinely interested to see an LP of Minecraft Survival in which the person playing it knows nothing about it whatsoever. No person telling them what to do, what to make, no wikis, 'How to survive the first night' videos, nothing. I'd be surprised to see what they can manage to craft.

Not sure how genuine this is but..

Decided to try out the most recent snapshot and I found out that I'm getting almost triple the fps in that instead of the latest stable release (with optifine).

Not one crash and just fluent gameplay altogether.
