Just dug some of my old cardboard 3d glasses out. They look super classy, as they're from Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D. So they aren't just the plain white cardboard ones. But they're actually sturdier than others I've seen. Anyway, moral of the story is Holy Shit.
The effect isn't perfect.. I'd really like it if it projected the crosshair to whatever distance the tile it's currently on is, instead of having it at zero depth like the rest of the interface, and every once in a while it'll ghost a little bit.
But.. Wow. That's the way to play. If any of you have any glasses laying around.. Seriously, give it a shot.
Water is awesome, as is looking up through that tiny hole at the far end of my cave that like 2 squares of sky shows through. There were quite a few other "Holy crap, that's awesome," moments too. This is definitely the way I'll be playing from now on.
Just out of interest, is your world really dull. I just tried with a new pair of red/blue glasses or red/cyan, not sure ... and apart from the fact that i can still see ghosting of one of the colours, everything is really desaturated. It's not very good at all. I have to admit i ignored the 3d glasses craze when it came out, so maybe eveything was like this and that's why it fizzled out, but i'm certainly not getting any WOW factor. It's barely playable to be honest, for example i can hardly tell the difference between a pig and a sheep without focusing on it for a few seconds.
Maybe i need to calibrate the monitor or something? I want 3d minecraft!

Yeah, I tried it once and while the 3d effect was neat the change in color was too much of a pain to continue using it.
1) Game could use shields, specifically to block projectiles (arrows).
2) No clue if this was mentioned, but those of you with Android phones might want to check out Minecraft Canary. It's a reference app for Minecraft. Rather handy.
One man's great idea is a nightmare for another. I don't want to die deep underground and find out that my base camp near the spawn points has been taken over/demolished by goblins.
But it seems like Notch is pretty good about making things options instead of standard features. I do like the idea of joining a server and fighting the good fight with other PAers against a zombie/creeper apocalypse, so long as I can create my own server where I can play a multiplayer version of the game with less aggressive monsters.
I am utterly enthralled by the idea of building a massive citadel, having it invaded and ruined, and then coming back much later to pick through the ruins and perhaps rebuild.

Redstone Shield Arrays and maybe Automatic weapons. 2 things I'd like to see included with mob expansions and new mob types if and when they come about, so I can defend myself.
Yeah traps and automated weapons etc would be important. Even simple things with logs etc.
Yeah, I can see things like crushing or drowning traps. I would really love to see trap doors in the floor. Or really for anything to work off of redstone aside from door, redstone torches and track switches. And I guess TNT too if it weren't so difficult to make.
Opening shafts in the ceiling to drop lava would be fantastic.

Found an awesome out cropping with a waterfall protecting the entrance...
So I set up shop... planted some trees... made a meager home!

Rough guess, an image or map resource is missing. Are you running this as administrator? I can't remember if the client needs it, but the Minecraft Server needed me to run as admin so it could set up all the files it needed.
I want some type of automated mining with redstone. I don't quite know what. Like, the ability to build a drill which proceeds to just turn everything along an axis into collectable blocks. Also some ability to pump liquids upwards.
Jesus fuck, this game is freaky with sound. Hiding in my mud hole at night, listening to spiders and zombies...
I was digging down deep exploring this cavern last night and I kept hearing zombies. I was afraid to dig anywhere I then broke into this deep cavern that had iron deposits up near the top so I just torched the upper area and started mining. kept hearing those zombies but couldnt see them.
get into my home, alt tab til daytime, turn around - see this.
anyone know if it is possible for a creeper to be set off if you are standing directly up against the wall, and there is only one block between you and them?
if so, sheeeeeeeeeeit
From stories I've read on here: definitely yes.
We're still establishing how much distance you need. After you kill that creeper and refill the crater he leaves, you might consider either making thicker glass walls (2x or 3x blocks thick) or putting fencing around the outside of your house that keeps things 2 or 3 blocks back.
Yeah, as far as I know they need to be within 1 square, so your walls will keep them from popping.
What you do to get rid of them is get a Bow and some arrows. Either pop a hole in your wall to fire through and kill them, or go up on your roof (or the second story I see there) and do the same.
So I haven't really found an explanation on the difference between creative and survival. Is creative just sand-box and survival is sand-box + monsters at night?

Bows are critical to taking care of creepers.
yeah, thats what the stairs to the roof are for
but
i have not encountered enough spiders to craft a bow!
What I usually do with creepers is head to the roof and inch towards them while swinging sword until I hit them and keep swinging. They usually bounce right into it.
So I haven't really found an explanation on the difference between creative and survival. Is creative just sand-box and survival is sand-box + monsters at night?
Interested in this but just unsure atm
Creative gives you an infinite amount of blocks so that you can build whatever.
In Survival, you have to collect your own materials and (optionally) avoid monsters.
So I started futzing with lava last night. I have a massive tower that has four spouts at the top for lava to pour out of.
I managed to accidentally misplace a souce block such that all the lava was cascading down my spiral staircase down to the groud floor and into my castle.
It only took about three hours to clean up. >_<

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

And even though those creatures are terribly pixelled, you get easily frighthened
The game is really nice and fun to play. and it I must admit Gabe and Tycho really portraited that on the strips.
Minecraft went down due to massive traffic, I think we could blame PA for that.
In numpad layout, with 789 at the top and 123 at the bottom:
Bow requires three string (only from killing spiders) and three sticks. String at 3, 6, and 9, sticks at 2, 4, and 8.
Arrows require flint, chicken feathers, and sticks. Feather at 2, stick at 5, flint at 8.
Pants are 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. Shoes are 1, 3, 4, 6.
Treasure chest is a box (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 -- every square except the middle) made of wood. Furnace is that same box but made of stone. Fuel the forge with wood (lumber, not raw tree trunk) or coal.
Door is 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8. Made of wood or iron ore. Iron ore version needs a button or switch or pressure plate to open it.
Half step is 1, 2, and 3 made of cobblestone.

I don't think i'll see the sun for many days..
EDIT:
Also, wtf.. lava fall?
I'd been exploring yesterday, when it got dark I built myself a little cottage and today on my way back to my castle I noticed that.

That is Awesome. I might have to try my hand at making it!

Whats really cool is when you are cave exploring and find some light and look up and 15 to 20 tiles down in the earth its snowing on you

shit sucks
I mean, I always have tons of it, but rarely use it for anything other than the compass.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
If more things could react to redstone circuits, we'd have plenty of uses for it.
Trap doors (and other trap types), lights, movable blocks, etc.
Quit posting and start building more amazing things
Especially you
I wait for stories of amazing things so I can build later.
daaaamn

This would probably take a long time.
At the end is 40 creepers... no one wins.

I know how to make a pickaxe, shovel, sword, helmet, armour, and I think a hoe (or an axe) along with the bench and furnace.
How do I make a bow or arrows? What other valuable tools am I missing?
