[ALL] Minecraft

[killgod]

Neat lil game this is.

You can play a basic "god mode" edition in a web browser here

But I got my hands on the Alpha for the upcoming "full" version and it's survival mode addicting as fuck.

Basically, you start with nothing and need to survive in this lil block world. You can build all sorts of insane shit, but at night mobs come out and kill you.

I spent a couple hours yesterday building this 3 story fort with an escape tunnel to my boat. lol. These exploding fuckers kept destroying the shit out of my fort.

If you purcahse the game you can play it online which would likely be fun.

Looks interesting, but also looks like it was made in 1997 based on the video.

1 man crew, don't expect it to be insane graphically

I'll check it out later when I have time

watched a dude play this last night on J.tv

Game looks like it could be fun, but would get boring very quickly.

This game has taken over the computer science lab for the past month. Nothing productive gets done in there anyway.

Minecraft
This is a temporary page.
Minecraft got way too popular for this humble server. I've had to disable everything fancy to even get it to run. It went down on Saturday, September 18.
It will probably go back to normal on Tuesday, September 21. I hope.

If your launcher is giving you download errors, please update the launcher by downloading the latest version from this page.

The following things do not work at the moment:

* Registering an account
* Purchasing the game
* User verification for online servers
* Sounds and music for new players

The following does work:

* Actually playing the game
* Player skins

Until this all gets sorted out, I'm officially calling a "free-to-play weekend", or however long this will take to fix. You will need to have a paid account to play it later on when this gets fixed though.
If you want to keep track of the latest developments, please follow my blog. I also post stuff on my twitter, but there's a lot of nonsense there as well

Yeah, I saw an article about it on Kotaku.

Is it basically a RTS?

No.

It's a First Person game.

Just was playing online for the first time.....

Should get some people together on a no rules server and start a band of pirates.
