aaand lost another 15 diamonds, cuz somehow creepers got into my mine and blasted me into lava

I can't seem to get diamond/gold in my inventory for more than 5 minutes without some fantastical bullshit coming and fucking up my plans.

Mobs spawn in darkness. So when you are mining make sure you are placing torches plentifully. If there is a single block of darkness anywhere in a mine then a mob will spawn and find you. It sucks and nothing is worse then that lovely "...sssssssssssssss BOOM" out of nowhere.

I DISAGREE.

**Shenrien** · 2010-10-08 03:01

hahahah that shit happens to me all the time, I laugh every time

So what's the significance of that loud, low-pitched metallic grinding sound you hear sometimes when you're excavating? Is it just a random environmental effect to creep you out or does it actually mean you're near something important?

**Hyan** · 2010-10-08 03:20

I think it points you towards caves and such.

It's taking every bit of my willpower to not play this game. I want to think I'm a better man for it, but my faith is flapping.

It means there's a monster spawner nearby.

wishful thinking for future updates;

more ores
more crafts
more uses with the current materials, and future materials
SET YOUR OWN RESPAWN POINT

;; I hate dieing then having to navigate my way halfway across a vast world cause I died when a horde of skeletons swarmed me.

I just use 1-9. Mouse never felt accurate enough for me in a pinch.

Mine carts are such a disappointment.

Are you using normal powered carts or are you using boosters? With boosters you can cover a good deal of distance fairly quickly.

How do you get 15 diamonds in your inventory before surfacing? I'm too damned paranoid. If I find a single diamond vein I mine around it to make sure it's nowhere near lava, get that shit, get the hell out and put in a chest. I've learned from several missteps that it's just never worth it to run around with it in my inventory.

Also, if you're running into lots of lava, just carry a bucket of water with you. You can douse the lava (turning it into obsidian) and pick back up the source block of water... rinse and repeat. Makes dealing with a lava a lot safer.

Some friends and I were playing around last night and we noticed that monsters cannot damage you in the alpha multiplayer. We ended up just making stuff like a waterfalll mountain that was like a mile high and then jumping off and a fort in the mountains. The single player is cool because there is a presence of danger and losing all of your loot. I hope they can get the mobs taken care of in multiplayer.

It would be cool to make it even more like a MMORPG where you could have raid parties and bosses buried in a mountain that could drop rare loot. Or like capture the flag modes where you have to build bridges and ladders to get to the flag. I see ALOT of potential for this game.

Apparently this dude has already made like 3.8 million bucks off this game and its still only in alpha.

yeah I have promised myself that I'm not going to play this today

**Foras** · 2010-10-08 08:06

You must play. The mines of Moria call your name.

**Shenrien** · 2010-10-08 08:11

Jesus Christ, I know the games in alpha and that its addictive, but wow.. I wouldn't have thought it would have made that much money..

well hopefully this will get the game into beta quicker, and that we see development speed up :3 MineCraft for life!

**Foras** · 2010-10-08 08:19

Yea pretty amazing considering he developed it by himself for only about 1-2 years. I guess he's getting close to hiring a few more people and starting development full time. Developer blog: http://notch.tumblr.com/

I like the sound of that update, on another note, whenever I close the game, I get an error log .txt, the game runs fine when I play it but curious as to why this keeps happening.

Spoiler: show

anyone ever encounter this before figure a resolution? :s I'm not to good technical with this kinda crap..

**Noobta** · 2010-10-08 14:54

You guys should try http://skylands.goonygoon.com/pix.html if you're bored of normal maps

**Ramor** · 2010-10-08 16:32

would anyone want to make a BG server and make something...bg related (though I have no idea what that would be), i'd imagine we could probably make something pretty cool though

**Maguspk** · 2010-10-08 17:03

Could make a jeuno + 3 nations replica or something, or just try to replicate a particular zone. I think that'd be fun and I'd definitely be interested in a BG server. Who would feel comfortable running it (leaving on their PC 24/7) and/or running a vent to go along with it?
