    Sometimes the world gen is just amazing. I found an awesome series of tunnels. They led all the way down to the lava layer. I left with over 100 iron ore and 20 gold. I only left when all I had left was a couple of iron picks.


    Weird bug: can't interact with blocks properly across some vertical plane. I can hack at blocks PAST the one in front of me, but can't get at that one closest unless I get past that plane. Weird.

    My current map is amazing too. I got a cave like that with numerous drops and gaps that I had to bridge to explore. It even had a dungeon with a chest and a record.

    And then I sailed off to another island and found a natural bay where I built a new base of operations. Then I climb a hill at the back of the harbor and see a massive plain, surrounded by mountains soaring into the clouds.

    If I have my way with it, there will be a massive, sprawling city there.


    I really need to upload my screenshots...

    Guys, use the persistent inventory.

    Someone already linked it in this thread but it doesn't seem like a lot of you are using it. It really helps. Chests are still useless but you keep your inventory between logouts, which makes it a hell of a lot easier.

    PERSISTENT INVENTORY!

    This is by no means a permanent solution, but here it is - client-side persistent inventory!

    If you use this JAR file to open Minecraft, it will save your inventory every few seconds. If you quit and rejoin, your inventory will still be there!

    This does not fix chests, furnaces, or anything like that. It only stores your character's inventory. Crafting slots are also discarded on disconnect.

    hey, vets, noob here, quick question: about how big is this game, filesize-wise? This thread is really really making me want to check this game out, but I don't own a computer. I could definitely download it on my roomate's computer, but I don't wanna download some huuge file onto his computer, you know?

    Is it just me or has there been a large influx of new players lately? Not that I'm complaining.

    I've been distracted by other things the last couple of days. SMP stable enough to play? Or is it buggy and not 100% worth it yet?

    There was a post made on the Team Fortress 2 blogs a week or so back, so that might explain some of the new players.

    No, not really.

    They share perhaps a similiar concept of mining for materials and crafting them into resources but beyond that they're two quite different games.

    I don't know, I could kind of think of it as first person, one man dwarf fortress.

    I frantically dig through the earth, searching for precious ores and natural wonders, all the while dodging monsters and perilous chasms. I build giant monuments to no one, I carve out huge sections of land and tame the world around me.

    I drown, I burn, I fall, I get crushed, I get blown up, I got shot full of arrows, I get assaulted, I die.

    Smells like Dwarf Fortress
