MineCraft is a game developed by Markus Persson, also known as Notch. It was started on the May 10, 2009.
It's a 3D block based game created in Java, meaning it is browser based. It's currently free, but for custom skins and the new games modes, which have not yet been released, but are in the works, you will have to pay 10 Euros, or whatever the equivalent in dollars is. The price will double when the game is closer to fruition.
The game is similar to Infiniminer, but at this point about ten times more popular, so you probably heard of this first.
Gameplay consists of: Placing and deleting assloads of different blocks. There's water and lava, both are infinite, water goes fast, lava goes slow. Amazing map generator, too.
Here's some goddam copypasta:
Single Player
You click singleplayer on the front page and the level is generated, you have deep seas, sandy beaches and rolling hills. Huge cave complex's and beneath your feet, ready for exploration. It auto generates forests and other features. As yo wander the many valleys, you wonder, where are the houses? You right click and band you can now place blocks, press B and you change what block to use! And you can set all the blocks from 1-9, then use the keys to select each one. You build yourself using glass, wood and grand floors. Fun?
Multiplayer
This is where the fun kicks in, you join up on the server. Bang in front of you are people all around, grand structures being built. Some of it is truly awe inspiring, you get lost in the maze of buildings, murals and towers. Want to build a megastructure? Now you can do it with friends, meaning you can make it twice as epic in the same amount of time it would of taken you alone.
Trouble Shooting
Now you may get a variety of errors when trying to play this game, before posting about them try these tips:
Use firefox, people seem to be having most luck with this.
Update your java
Turn off your firewall (multiplayer)

Nice Venn! [i]SECONDS[/i] after v7 locked you have a new thread open, fuck you Hai2joo.
I hope to god Notch adds settlements and tons of different types of landscapes in the infinite map stuff. Maybe even different seasons and stuff, he said he'd do that.

It just keeps feeling more and more like a 3D Haven & Hearth.
I wish you didn't have to pay for an alpha build.

It's more than worth it.

you pre-order the game and in return get access to the beta build :downs:
RIP

pardon me good folks.
When starting minecraft, I keep getting a "pixel format not accelerated" error message...
What should I do about this?
your computer is too old

There's something dumb about wasting the last two or three pages of a thread talking about what to title the next thread.
The stuff that people make in this game, particularly the video game sprites, are fucking amazing.
I find the videogame sprites to be among the worst things people make in this game.
Really, they're just tedious and time consuming to build- it takes no real skill. Unless you design your own actual sprite, from scratch, in which case you shouldn't be using minecraft for that.
I like indev
So now that venn isn't butthurt about not being an OP anymore is venn's server back up?
[img]http://i46.tinypic.com/fk1o9s.jpg[/img]
Venn, could you add my server to the list? [url]http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=9c62e27ae17195c0593c5c7656aa5460[/url]
venn you motherfuck i knew you were going to do this to me again

Also, does anyone know what happened to Shadaez? He like fucking died or something.

The status on infinite
Remaining (in order I will add them):
* Layered lighting engine
* Entity logic
* Tile entities (Chests, furnaces)
* Tile ticking (growing farms, spreading grass and fire, water flowing)
* Switch water back to infinite temporarily
* Caves
* More advanced level generator with different climate zones and such. This can be done much later, if needed.
Done:
* Basic decorator pattern for chunk sources
* Infinite level generator
* Stable physics at extreme distances
* Stable rendering at extreme distances
* Doubled the rendering distance to 256 meters
The Layered lighting engine was suggested by Asmodean (I hope I spelled that right) on IRC, and will make day/night transitions almost instantaneous at the cost of some extra RAM. It would also enable carried light sources at the cost of even more RAM.
The decorator pattern for chunks means it’s easy to split up the logic for different “level” sources, such as having a pseudorandom level generator wrapped in a disk cache wrapped in a memory cache, or switch that entire structure out for a memory cached network chunk source for multiplayer.
It took me a while to arrive at this design, mostly because of my chaotic development philosophy (get it to work, then refactor if the code is bad), but I’m really happy with it now.
The lighting is the big hold up at the moment, I expect most of the remaining things to go pretty fast, except for caves and the very vague final point, which I suspect will be an ongoing process for the rest of the game development time.
Once infinite is done, I will put it up as a replacement for indev, then work on survival mode multiplayer.

I'm such a pansy, I can't go into the dark areas of minecraft. :'(
Those skeletons just come out of fucking nowhere, man
I remember connected my home to a mountain behind it. Upon traveling downwards a bit, SKELETONS EVERYWHERE.
Way to ignore the thread title suggestions. D:

Pre-Generated settlements and ruins are a waste of code. Not only would pregenerated structures be rather poor quality, but a server that is at least a month old will have plenty of abandoned castles, tunnels, dungeons, ruins, [I]and loot![/I] from previous players, that other players can find.

It gives reason to explore, makes the game more dynamic and adds depth, and overall just makes the game a lot better.
Still à waste since when mp goes live there Will be loads of ruins after the first day or two
