Minecraft

Here's the mine with the headframe I was talking about, along with a reference that I can't believe no one came up with until now:

(warning: big picture)

Very nice!  Now that's a minecart ride I want to go on.

offtopic: Is that Windows 2000?

Very nice!  Now that's a minecart ride I want to go on.

Sadly, there's no minecart ride yet: you can barely call this thing "a mine". There was plenty of iron and coal when I first found it, now it's just a bunch of rocks along with a cobblestone staircase.

(I also started an incredibly time-consuming and ultimately pointless project in this mine: remove all the soil and gravel so it's just bare rock. After I filled up a whole chest with soil and gravel, I gave up.)

offtopic: Is that Windows 2000?

No, it's WinXP, with the Windows Classic option and a theme that was supposed to look like OS/2, but now it just looks like...that. I like old computer GUIs: the blocky, dark icons and things are much better than the smooth, sleek and colorful stuff you see in Vista and 7, if you ask me.

I've also styled Firefox to look like Mosaic. Yes, I'm that crazy.  

Back to Minecraft:

That mine isn't the only thing on my, uh, property: I've also got a house (duh), an art gallery (for some reason) and a beacon so I don't get lost (this happened plenty of times when I go to get some logs in the middle of the night). I'm planning to fence in the whole place sometime soon.

(The art gallery is a must-see: the paintings have such wonderful, descriptive titles such as "Kebab at Lunchtime" and "de_aztec Perspective 1". The collections are no better: "Everyday Events Collection", for example. (this collection features the famous painting "Creeper, with Photograph" painted by the famous Swedish visionary Markus Persson.)

Well, i've been playing in the free weekend alpha version (im going to buy the full game today or tomorrow), and i've built meself a castle
It's not as good as i had originally hoped, but oh well. The keep (the building inside the wall) isn't finished, I'm going to add another one or two stories to it.

I've attached pictures.
And NO, i haven't hacked my savefile, all that stone HAS been mined. You can tell, there's a hill missing nearby

We should have a SMP server soon If I can avoid the LLLLLLAAAAAAAAGGGGG  

Also I am making an epic floating castle in the sky, mining all the rock I use. It's currently a flat octagon measuring 52m x 54m, hovering ~32m from the ground. Will post screenies when it's further along.

Also classic server is back online. No-one has been there in ages  

Also me haz skin   lookies -> [link]
It was meant to look like me IRL, but it simultaneously failed at least 7 times and now it just looks silly.  

Also here is the access URL again so you don't have to keep hunting for it:http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?ip=92.15.101.188&port=25564

Fluorescent eye-hurting yellow is always the way to go!

Also, that link just gives me a Connecting... bar that never fills up.

Somehow, my IP decided to change exactly four seconds after I posted that. fixed nao.

Also, is my hair colour really that bad? It looks normal pale-blonde to me. (on my 1995 monitor, that even has the words "LOW RADIATION EDITION" printed on the front)

I got the same not-filling up bar. (and after a couple of seconds, the red screen of "the server is probably down")

The color doesn't look THAT bad, but still...yeah.

It's kinda like the poster for Metropolis, except worse.

I've been playing in the weekend alpha, now that I can't play anymore because it needs to be purchased, then I guess I have to buy it.

Now I need a good way to convince my parents to spend $10.

Anyone have any ideas?

"If you want to see your gold chain with diamonds again..."

"I need it for a science project!"

"GIMME NOW OR I'LL SHOOT MYSELF AFTER I HANG MYSELF THROUGH THE WINDOW!!!"

Or just say pretty please.

Lol, I think I'll stay with pretty please.

Though I'd be very interested to see what I could use it for as a medium for a school project... 

I recently got back into the game after I lost my saves. I started with a lighthouse right over the spawn point, then I made my usual mine, but this time I found an absolutely enormous system of caves. After a few hours I managed to explore every nook and cranny of it, at which point I decided that the very farthest, deepest corner would be a wonderful spot for a house! (I later discovered that it wasn't exactly deep... Not underground, anyway. Deep under the sea. Which caused some complications when I tried digging upward.) I also found an awesome Cliff Hole Ledge Thing which I plan to build a fortress in.

EDIT: Also, I'm having some trouble with my underground tree farm. It meets all the requirements the Minecraft Wiki lists for trees to grow, but they're still not growing. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be quite helpful

I got the same not-filling up bar. (and after a couple of seconds, the red screen of "the server is probably down"?)

The server is closed from midnight~9 am on weekends. Jims need their sleep.
on weekdays, it's closed from midnight~4 pm. Times are GMT.

I don't want to make you sound stupid, but are you sure that the tree is 3 blocks away from any obstacles? Maybe you've placed a torch next to it?

If this isn't the case, then just wait. I had to wait quite a bit before my first tree grew. (and this was not even underground!)

Also, I have a skin too, if somebody didn't notice: http://minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=Yukabacera

EPIC!

I've just bought the game, so i'll be making my own skin. question: how do you make stuff (like on yours Yuka) that is around your head? (like how yuka's gold bar-thingys are outside the actual head-box)

nevermid, worked it out myself


Goddammit i suck at this.
Could someone PLEASE make me a nice robot skin? sorta like yuka's...
Either that or a king, in which case i've already made a half-decent crown (attached)
