I got Minecraft (Alpha) yesterday. I played for a few hours. I made a castle, a dungeon, and a house. I realized that's pretty much what the entire game was. It's like Legos, but slower and you can kill stuff. If you're thinking about getting it, the free version is almost exactly the same. The weapons/enemies don't really add anything to the game. Don't waste 9.95 Euros on it.
Speaking of Curse mods, I saw that the Minecraft "comunity" has an official YouTube channel now, where there's young little boys, ugly texture packs, Peaceful Mode and TooManyItems galore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XESO6ryMlh0

Those the suggestions board of those forums is a comedy unto itself.
I thought half of those suggestions were made by trolls, but then along came Terraria, that was Minecraft with most of those suggestions added. (Yes, Terraria *IS* 2D Minecraft, made by Minecraft fans. They're just denying this to avoid getting sued, because all the little things that was added to Terraria, was previously posted on the Minecraft suggestion board.)
you are a fucking cunt dude MINECRAFT IS THE BEST, ITS NEARLY IN FULL VERSION AND IT IS AWESOME FUCK Y'ALL THAT HATE MINECRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a Tom Dalton at the Leeds Metropolitan University, but he's 18 years old, so he probably knows of common capitalization and punctuation. I'm guessing you're some kid he bullies, probably because you play Minecraft.

I'll personally shut up when my Minecraft forum ban expires. Oh yeah, it NEVER expires.
New achievement in version 1.8 (according to the wiki):
"Shoot the moon with an arrow."
This sounds normal until you remember that Minecraft is in fact NOT Portal 2, that your bow and arrows are in fact NOT a portal gun, and that Minecraft arrows have a curved trajectories, with a maximum shooting height of about 5 meters.
That Minecraft players seem to believe that the real-life moon is a huge white boulder hovering five meters above their heads, or at least above the highest mountain peak, is really disturbing, because I could probably figure out that the moon was a planet when I was five years old.

Completely killing the art of spelunking (cave exploring - what Minecraft started out as being about) is branch mining. Even LPers are now seen systematically digging hole after hole into the rock, efficiently covering every surrounding block, completely autistically focused on getting to diamonds as soon as possible (without cheating).
Of course, there's also IDIOT mining (described in the Minecraft wiki as "Random Mining"): Just make holes ANYWHERE, ANYHOW. The method of simply being an idiot is hailed among Minecraft players as the most efficient method, superior to even systematic branch mining (where you cover every block), and above all, being an idiot is simple: "It is the simplest form of mining as it follows no specific pattern"
The power of idiocy will according to the wiki lead you to "find dungeons or rare materials". The downside is of course "one may accidentally dig their way into a pit of lava" and other fatal fates unavoidable by idiots, which they will no doubt pitch "solutions" for to Notch.
With Minecraft version 1.8 being released somewhere the next week, Notch decided to stream 50 minutes of him playing it on twitch.tv, showcasing a surprising amount of new features implemented:
* Improved intro screen (with landscape backdrop)
* Creative mode allows you to fly, gives you infinite items, and prevents death
* New biome code (with larger biomes, about seven in number so far, including plains, forests, deserts, mountains, oceans and rivers)
* Villages (randomly generated, without NPCs)
* Endermen (which are rare) (Endermen go all red when charging you, and they die from water. They pick up random blocks at the moment, but Notch is considering changing that.)
* Watermelons
* Improved arching (Holding mouse button charges shots.)
* Lots and lots of SPARKLES everywhere (I'm not even kidding - Minecraft has gone Twilight with the new animations.)
* An XP bar (Killed mobs will drop green XP orbs that will be sucked up by the player, but the XP system itself is still unfinished. In future updates XP will be used to level up quote "individual skills".)
* Dashing/sprinting (with dash attack)
* A silverfish mob
* Improved dungeons (Randomly generated, even mineshafts with rails, and strongholds)
* Cobwebs hanging about (slowing down the player movement)
* Improved lighting (but no HDR)
* Much faster code (with rain rendering much faster)
* The bottom of the world features dark claustrophobic fog and dust particles, and you die if you drop past the bottom layer
It also turns out MinecraftChick was a boothbabe all along. Not surprised.
Overall a lot of improvements, but still no chemo that will cleanse the game from retards and furries.

I remember when I told myself that at least Minecraft wasn't Twilight. Now all I have left is "At least Minecraft isn't My Little Pony.", because in the stream Notch gets the question if he would implement ponies, and says no (probably because he was thinking of ACTUAL ponies, and because Hasbro has the rights to the colorful ones). Expect to see My Little Pony mods soon enough, though, just as we're seeing Minecraft Pokemon mods. I bet Breivik was an oldschool Minecraft player.

Why do you ask this stupid question?
This SMP server was announced in a random thread at the /jp/ board of a 4chan clone called Easy Mode, and running for about a day. What do you think? Are you one bit surprised?

Real men cry over Minecraft too.
It allowed us to chop trees with our bare fists!
It allowed us to carry lava in buckets!
Then suddenly children everywhere!
...and furries!
...and Curse mods!
Now there's flowers and sparkles everywhere!
It makes me want to kill!

There are a hundred ways to get your retardation on with Minecraft, and playing on remote SMP servers, putting you at the mercy of some guy you haven't even met, is one of those ways.

MinecraftChick working for Mojang?
Let me get this straight: Mojang wanted an LPer to professionally promote Minecraft, so they came up with a loser nerd girl wearing a pink hooker wig? That's what the target audience is supposed to be able to relate to? Talk about low expectations.
