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 God damn 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)

[b]FREE MINECRAFT[/b]
[quote="helpiminabox"]Also, i forgot a rather important (to someone I hope.) thing I wanted to say: I'm working a summer job as a park maintenance person, and after figuring out what my next paycheck will go towards (games and taking my family out to dinner), I noticed that I have some funds left over for.... whatever. I decided that I was feeling rather generous and would like to hold a contest, the winner (or winners if I have enough money) of which I shall buy Minecraft for. The objective is to make the coolest thing you possibly can. The end of the contest will probably be between saturday (when I get my check) and 1-2 weeks from then.
[b]The Rules:[/b]
Only one entry per person. If you have multiple ideas, fine. But you must specify which one is to be judged.
No limit to what blocks are used in this, it just has to have your name on or near your entry (In blocks, for those who don't get it)
All entries must be taken in multiplayer, with some proof that it is. This is only to minimize potential Omen use. Also, I might want to see it some day if it's especially epic! :buddy:
Using hacks is fine by me however. [b]But make sure it's all right with the server admins/OPs. I am not responsible for idiots being banned trying to win this!
TRY AND BE CREATIVE [/b]
A generic white house with red roof will not impress me (Unless it has like some sort of awesome basement, but probably not even then). Something like that one recreation of 1-1 will. (oh, and trying to that recreation is not creative in my book.)
In any dispute regarding this contest, [b][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd]I AM THE LAW.[/url] PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS.[/b]
Edit2: Oh, and anyone who already has Minecraft is automatically barred from this, as that would be stupid/unfair.
Oh, and.... conteststartsnowgo![/quote]
[b]TIME FOR SOME MOTHERFUCKING SCREENSHOTS FUCK YEAH[/b]

Thanks to last thread OP for the base of this one, it's been edited quite a bit since.
1000 posts then lock? Wow. Anyway you may want to clean up the OP when you get the chance. I know it's just c/p at the moment, but make sure to add some screenshots and sort out the server list considering most of them are offline now.
Oh wow, this automatic deleting of threads is getting lame. Anyhow, I tried to make a canyon level, (Alas, I can only use the editor, I can't use the server software for some reason).
Might be small and ugly, but I made it in a couple minutes. You could do a much better job if you took the time to do it.

[B]EDIT:[/B] As AJ said, actually update the OP once in a while unlike the person who started the V2 thread.
ALL the links to servers are broken.
Yeah, I can see that now.
Still updating. If you guys could start posting legitimate servers, I could add them to the OP. Screenshots and working server links getting added now.
[editline]04:14AM[/editline]
Updated links, working on screenshots.
[editline]04:16AM[/editline]
Submit more screenshots PLEEDZ.
[editline]04:20AM[/editline]
Also I'm considering taking down servers that aren't up the majority of the time.
And we were almost halfway done with the church roof, too!
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;16116843]And we were almost halfway done with the church roof, too![/QUOTE]

Which server are you guys in?
Venn's, but I wouldn't recommend joining it.
