Same thing as my Dwarf Fortress topic, I'm wondering if anyone has played this game before.

Please discuss, trash, debate about it here. 3nodding

As for me, I always get to building a house and a massive vertical light beacon and soon delete and recreate the world just to do it all over again. I am in desperate need of new building designs. gonk

Yeah, the main point of Minecraft is constructing things with your imagination. I once tried building an entire town. Had about seven houses constructed and four vertical light beacons built near the boundaries...then I got side-tracked and went on a mining expedition until I deleted the world. sweatdrop

Here are a few pictures showing what I've been doing in Minecraft during my spare time inbetween studying and hanging out on campus.

One of my strip mining causes toward the bedrock. Hoping to hit some diamond on the way down.

My twin lookout towers made of dirt. I have no idea if I want to convert it to cobblestone later on. Looks like it'll take a while to convert and a pain in the a** if I accidentally fall off.

Outside look on my cave base. Beautiful isn't it?

Inside look at my cave base. Placed an awesome picture of Link on the wall that leads downstairs to my mine shaft.

Here's a small update on what I managed to build in the past hour or two.



My underground farm. I have a glass panel that directs sunlight from above to speed up growth during the daytime. The door you see in the back is going to be the library that is currently in progress. Gotta get some more wood and farm some more sugar cane for required materials.



My treasure/storage room. It's right outside the underground farm with the mine shafts inbetween them.



My completed sugar cane farm above ground and an infinite water source.



A trench of uncompleted fire to kill the troublesome and annoying animal mobs that get in the way of harvesting my sugar canes.

@Thor - It depends on which mode you play in. There is Survival and Classic. In Survival, you have to obtain everything from nature to build the things you want. And depending on the difficulty, you'll be attacked by creatures at night, hence why it's called Survival. In Classic, you have unlimited blocks and no mobs.

@Eva - I believe building is a major point of MineCraft, though you can mod the game to change some aspects of the game. I also heard something about a PVP thing with multiplayer where clans face off against each other. There is also farming...which includes building, lol. Then there is the mining aspect. The entire world is randomly generated, so you don't know when you might hit an enormous cavern and go spelunking. I guess sight seeing is also another way of playing MineCraft. The landscape that generates can be breath taking at times.

Also I'm in the process of building two tree farms. Finished building the fire pit.

I actually bought the game a few months ago due to all the amazing videos on YouTube, but once I started playing, I got so hopelessly lost. I went to the minecraft wiki and was really amazed by the amount of things I could craft, but for some reason the game was so intimidating that I didn't really go far in it.

For some reason, I still love the game and I still consider it money well spent, but it's just that I never play it anymore.

You should join a Minecraft server and play with other people. It's amazing and very satisfying as you finish projects one after another with others. When singleplayer gets boring and redundant, multiplayer throws some dynamite into the equation. 3nodding
