    After getting to terms with survival

    I can conclude that survival multiplayer is gonna be pretty damn rad

    Shouldn't more light fix that?

    There is just something weird about slimes, they always pop up in the lowest levels no matter how well-lit the corridors are.

    Torches last forever now, but i read somewhere that this is about to change.

    Uh I just noticed there are reeds on the first screenshot that pabh posted.

    Slimes are annoying, cause I'm sure they can spawn in lighter areas compared to the other mobs.

    Slimes can show up anywhere, regardless of lighting condition. I read somewhere they spawn in larger areas, though.

    I am starting survival, but you literally start with nothing. I am punching dirt, trees, any block type object I come across, but nothing is breaking down for me.

    How do I get started?

    Keep holding the button to break stuff. If you destroy a tree with your bare hands, you should have enough wood to make the tools you need to get started.

    Pretty awesome. I doubt it was exported from minecraft somehow, but it would be cool as shit if someone figured out a way to do that. Creating TF2 levels with minecraft? Yes please.

    physics are back on unfortunately , try not to make me hate you all by flooding again

    off to work

    Bad news everyone, i tried to livecast my mine, and it froze,

    Now i cant access my favorite map without a full on freeze.

    Here's hoping notch can fix whatever issue i'm having.

    the good news is that im making a wicked cool world-tree-fort out in the wilderness.
    It even has a secret door in it.

    The idea of coop multiplayer survival mode intrigues me immensely. The rest of the package I have no interest in.

    Is this.... months... years off, or what?

    days to weeks hopefully, multiplayer is notch's last thing to do before beta, and thats what he is working on.

    there is a test server up right now but good luck ever logging into it

    In a level that starts with snow?

    NEVER!

    EDIT: But that shouldn't be the reason they are not growing. Make sure the sapling is planted in a nice open space.

    Torches will keep it from snowing in an area around them, so plant some in the area you are trying to grow trees.

    I'm going to clean out the Lava and Water in the little underground cavern Igel, Myself, and Reagan made this weekend. It's going to take a LONG time, and I would welcome any help, as we have to start from the top and work our way back down (again.)

    Is the tree code messed up on snow levels so that foliage with snow on it won't go away when you take out a trunk?

    And thanks for the advice. I really hope we get a big survival game going.

    Also:

    Notch and Toady One should have babies together. I'm just saying.

    It takes a long ass time for foliage to go away on its own, and sometimes it doesn't disappear at all for some reason. The solution to this problem is to set the foliage on fire.

    I usually take it down manually. It's a pain in the ass, but you get more saplings that way.

    I got a pretty decent amount of lava out. I wasn't sure what was natural rock and what was cooled lava, so I just worked on clearing out whatever lava I could get to and left the task of fixing up the passages to you guys. I also had to stop early because I got hopelessly lost and couldn't find my way back, even after respawning
