Will it be added to the public release today?

[Notch]

No, it's too unstable. The next update should be within three days. =)

Per request, I've switched priorities between level saving and multiplayer, so the next version will probably have saving as well.

Woot  my craziness is over

I agree, the water is sweet I'm not sure if there's a name for the kind of simple colour scheme like this one, as it seems to be quite common for platformers and such. Anyway, I hope you stick to that. The bright green and blue, the brown and gray, it really works very well for a game about creating little worlds

Actually having moats full of water now will be a huge improvement :D

[edit]
Awww, look who's come to pay a visit and hack at some dirt:

I could actually take exactly two screenshots right before Firefox decided to crash on me

That is.. i.. you..

I've just lost my entire lunch hour to this, this game is tweaking my creativity

[Morre]

I... built a castle (like everyone else). I wanted to make a YT vid showing off some stuff like the inside of a tower, but I couldn't get it to work. So... here's some screens instead:





The castle is 18 by 18 by 11 units big, or 20 by 20 by 11 if you count the towers. The moat is 6 units wide and between 2 and 6 units deep, depending on the terrain. One tower has a neatly built-in easy-to-walk staircase. That's about it.

Well, I guess it's not as much a castle as a fortress. Oh well.

I have to say I liked the old terrain a bit better. More interesting.

Here's a video I made.  I miss those cliffs and valleys and such.

edit: I may have imagined any change in the terrain generator.

That stuff is also very nice The village basically shows what I really love about games like Minecraft: The ability to create little really atmospheric worlds out of nothing. While the houses themselves aren't as spectacular as some other, more complex buildings, the whole village looks just so sweet
I think if you weren't able to walk around in those worlds, or couldn't even build them from that perspective, the whole game would lose a lot of its charm.

Also, I love that even I, who always fails at Garry's Mod because of a severe lack of creativity, can have a lot of fun with this and build cool stuff, as it's so simple, yet unrestricted


As you mentioned the terrain: Maybe some time in the future, if the level generation algorithms allow for it, there could be some simple options for the level generation. Like how hilly it is, if there are few or many cliffs, few or many underground caverns, etc.

I also thought that it would be cool to have a smaller kind of blocks, like one that only has 1/4th or 1/9th the size of the current ones, so you could build proper furniture, other decorations and yet more detailed constructions. I think that is more or less impossible right now at a proper scale. Though, maybe that wouldn't suit the simplistic design, I'm not sure.

Lastly, like I said earlier: Torches! It would be cool if they could simply light a specific area around themselves, probably with varying brightness depending on distance.



Now, I wonder if it would be cool to recreate that dwarf upright and underground, so he really feels at home..

[Navineous]

I think 1/2 size blocks would work just as well and maybe 1/4 if we are lucky. But let him take the ideas at a slow pace. It's hard work to program java

Of course those are just some general suggestions, I also think that other features should have priority

Wow, excellent game. Runs on linux too. 


Stupid stuff I made over the past 3 days of addiction:


A Tower

Outside the tower


Inside the tower


Little table and couch of sorts inside one of the rooms in the tower


The garden roof.


An Underground Lair

Inside the lair, you can see the fake-swimming pool, the plant, fake-vents, a couch and spiral staircase to top.


Top part of the lair, includes the start of the huge spiral staircase and an observation bay. xD

A Castle -- I'm pretty sure I'm the first to ever make a castle in minecraft.


Looking upon the castle from outside


Inside the open area of the castle, the "bailey"(I think...)


Inside the castle's little "keep" part. Has a table and fail-chairs


Top castle wall walkway


Staircase inside of the tower



Also, can't wait for water

[Zolyx]

Sorry. Best I could manage with the current block selection...

Oh look, I found some screenshots of the Dwarf Fortress 3D Beta intro





[edit]
Seriously, I totally didn't copy any game at all!


:D
Okay, okay, I'll stop it now.
