Agreed, but we put so many hours into it so I can't say we didn't get our money's worth. Last night I finish my lava-lighthouse, I'll post a pic at some point.

Indie developers need to make a living as well and good gameplay doesn't require stellar graphics.

Although I don't think we need to feel sorry about notch (creater of minecraft), apparently he made millions with this game.

Here's a series of articles that Rock Paper Shotgun did on the game. It follows the author thru 5 days of playing. If the link doesn't work, just search "mine the gap".

Bought the game today. It's really addictive in a strange way.

Are you on a MP server as well Grahamiam?

Build a first house and mined my way down to the bedrock. Now busy finding iron and other rare metals and stone.

I am not on an MP server, as public ones are too full of griefers.

Bump :)


Have been playing with my kids a lot and they love it. They have their own houses build and make waterfalls to slide down. Good fun.

Did some mining and building myself and finished my 1st portal to the nether yesterday. There's a lot more to the game than you would say at first sight.

Played a bit on a mp server that uses a whitelist/greylist system as well. I really like that you get these huge towns to walk through.

Attached some pics. First one is of my house when I returned after mining a bit. At night mobs spawn around torches so my house turned into a farmhouse. I think I should tile the floor to battle this in house mob spawning.

other 3 are of a candlestick lighthouse I build.

So anyone else picked this up? I still play occasionally and I really like the way development is heading. The new piston block makes amazing machines possible and the adding of more adventure elements gives more depth to the game as well. For those not familiar with mine craft possibilities

Minecraft Original Zelda remake


Minecraft working computer
This is just one example, apparently there are a lot of tech savvy people with heaps of time on their hands who are doing this.


USS Enterprise
Again, something must be seriously wrong with you to even start this.

On the Enterprise one, I think they loaded it, somehow, into minecraft. I don't think they actually built it block-by-block.

On their site they say they loaded all the floors from blueprints but when that's done they still have to clean up the upload and manually fill them in (rooms, furniture, docking bays etc)
