I sent an email to a friend, telling them to play Minecraft. The next day I got one back saying "that was very inconsiderate of you, I stayed up playing until 5am and then had to phone in sick at work"

This induces me to think of calling it "World of Minecraft". Exactly the same phenomenon.
Holy hog, my second WoW wind up this day

Tell him (or her!) that I'm both sorry and happy. :-D

You get on IRC and stay with the happenings

This is from a few pages back, I know, and I don't want to derail the thread, but is there a decent IRC program for Mac?

I use Colloquy, i'm pretty happy with it.

This game needs a counter-part which is a maximum simple Zelda-Style game which plays in the built worlds and simply clicks with the world-creator.

Like...
1 Hero (with different colours for multiplayer on the servers?)
1 Sword tool
1 Shield tool
1 Crossbow tool
1 Bomb tool (bombsack)
1 GRAPPLING HOOOOOK

1 Goomba-like enemy-type (with different colours)
1 Shooting Enemy
1 Flying Enemy

(maybe) 1 switch that can be scripted to simply create or delete certain block-types on certain positions. nothing else.
1 Treasure-item that can be collected for score.
1 wooden sign that contains text

Make it happen.

Okay, this would be awesome:

In multiplayer-mode, you could create such zelda-dungeons/worlds (see my last post) and if you are able to play through the level (let's say: from the spawn to the goal) yourself, the level becomes valid and may be uploaded for others to try beating it.

This would basically be a whole new game mode which allowed people/groups of people to create challenges and make them available for others to try.

i'm loving the emergent gameplay.

i've devised so many anti-flood/deflooding strategies for tunneling underground; i now have a connected series of underground tunnels like the viet cong.

I'm talking to some guys who are making custom maps, and I might be able to get a REALLY big one for tigs.

Is it possible to make permanent sponges?

Also sponges for lava?

[Notch]

Sponges are permanent now if you update the server.

Lava sponges make even less sense than the current sponges do.

[johnnoz]

I am loving this game, really like the sandboxishness of it. I would so preorder now if i had the ability to but alas, lack of credit card access.

Also proof that java IS good

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIGLAND

After my compatriot's mysterious demise, I was tasked with exploring the mysterious "tigland". Hardly an enviable position, but at least I was assured financial compensation. Or my loved ones were.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8805/castletig.png
I elected to begin my journey at the castle Tig. A massive structure, it's apparently stood for centuries, and remains quietly abandoned. I swear I could hear the ghosts of the souls tortured in the dungeons whispering to me as I climbed the various towers to get a view of the landscape.

My quick glances around gave me a glimpse of how strange this land really was. I decided to investigate further.

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1804/zeppelini.png
A curious sort of flying machine, locked to a tether. Also apparent are several curious flat statues; these abound in this odd land.

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6117/spritesj.png
Several more of these statues can be glimpsed around the land.

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9711/castles.png
Structural engineers around here seem to have a curious disregard for gravity.

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/3531/buildingn.png
They also have little to do with conventional building materials.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6629/cavestory.png
More of these statues, this time hovering in midair. Why not? It's hardly the strangest thing here.

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/604/doomship.png
An unflattering view of a truly massive floating structure. I could only guess at its purpose, but various smaller craft moved around it.

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6536/fishingl.png

A--surprisingly normal fishing village. Must be a full moon.

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1357/floating.png
Apparently the inhabitants must declare their land before naming it. Many of the ridiculous structures are visible here, including an oddly Eiffel tower like structure.

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6264/floating2.png
Again the disregard for gravity, yet this time they took the ground with them. Insane.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5232/flora.png
Massive trees are not uncommon, though still gargantuan.

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7972/flora2.png
Easily the largest specimen of any plant (or any living thing) I've seen or even heard of in all my years.

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5959/invertship.png
--is that? Really? A highly well built ship, no defects whatsoever. Upside down.
Why not. It's also floating, but that's hardly unusual at this point.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/5538/moai.png
This must be some kind of caricature of a religious figure.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5099/templek.png
Clearly they attribute their flouncing of universal laws to some kind of god. Savages.

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8393/shipe.png
A tiny island and a tinier ship, in the middle of a lake? Where's it even going to go?

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/311/sprites2.png
More of these flat statues. Such a curius people, tiglanders.

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/3169/statue.png
Finally, a proper monument; a warrior wielding a sword. No flotation, and it's even got depth. Perhaps this country has a few redeeming qualities.

A floating, distant, and oddly shaped statue. Why not.


NOTE: TO ANYONE WHOSE CREATION I DID NOT SCREENSHOT IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.
I simply didn't want to take up an entire page with them.

[Aquin]

I wish I had sandstone back.  My princess sprite didn't turn out too good.
At least my upside-down ship got noticed.  Hey-o!

PS

Check underground.  Crazy stuff down there.

Oh yes, I'm quite aware of the crazy stuff underground. It's just harder to screenshot.

Go under the eiffel tower. That took me a while.

EDIT: This took longer. With a significantly larger number of helpers (sorry for not having names on all of you guys).

hmm strange, there seems to be a bug that causes the browser to crash (in this case Firefox) when it tries to run the java app.

I'll try to get a screenshot when I can

[Caio]

I keep getting kicked from TIGLand because I'm lagging too much! What's the ping limit? Can't that be set server-side?

EDIT: Also, it seems sponges work even through walls...

[Nikica]

Yes sponges work through walls and that shouldn't be changed, people made wonderfull things because of that "bug".
