    Seems the website's just gone down.

    It's back again. Never mind.

    Many Many Multiplayer Servers. If anyone finds a good survival server we can invade, make sure to post the IP and name.

    Playing on 98.167.247.212:25565 (Billy Mays' Oxyclean Server.) which actually has a Billy Mays avatar on it.

    The update's coming later tonight.

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF---

    More waiting!

    Time to DDOS that shit.

    That will effectively happen tonight anyway when 20 million gamers try to get the update. Notch's infrastructure is not too robust.

    Which is bizzare as the game's files are only a few megabytes and there are numerous hosting sites that will let you host that kind of size.

    On the upside, I will be at a party, so I will be too busy to either contribute to or worry about the server crash.

    The downside is that when I get home I will be too tired to play Minecraft.

    A legitimate torrent would probably be a great way to release an indie thing like this if the server can't handle it.

    Notch uses Amazon's S3.

    I turned off Peaceful mode in the Nether, and everything was silent.

    Three minutes later, horrific tortured screaming.

    Scariest shit I've ever played.

    EDIT: Hahahaha, Minecraft.net just crashed. Thanks for letting us get the jump on it, Cheese.

    Woodlands, awesome source of wood, scary as fuck at night.

    Travelling too far in the Nether can crash your game when you attempt to gate out. Which, along the right line of thinking, leads to some total Fridge Horror.

    Server up yet? It's not even Halloween here for another 10 hours.

    I have discovered a problem with the Woodlands biome. All the trees are placed so close together that you can wipe out vast swathes of them with a single misplaced flint spark. Such as when I tried opening the door with a bit of tree in front of it.

    I'd be careful about going through any portals on saves you care about. Sounds like there're still a few nasty world-deleting bugs that need to be fixed.

    It killed my inventory once already. I just went in to harvest some precious Glow Dust.

    Also, here's the deal with glow dust. Once you get 9 pieces of it, you can craft it into a glowglass brick (I think PC Gamer called it australium, but I don't think it has an official name yet). Glowglass is opaque, cannot be recovered, and isn't durable, but lights better than torches or lava. Use INVedit to get piles of it without dealing with the Nether; the item code for dust is 354. Since it's not part of INVedit's recognized item list (like the compass), you need at least one piece in any given spot in your inventory to dupe it. The same should be assumed for glowglass.

    I went through a portal, and on my way back it took me to a cave far away :(
    Also, I used up my only pickaxe, so now I have to start again from wood so I can build a compass and find my way home.


    Fuck you, Notch.

    ^ New world, set to Easy.
    I can currently see 8 creepers.

    Don't play Easy. It's broken.

    A bugfix seems to have just come out. Also, glowglass is item 89. Have at it.

    Bringing a diamond sword in there probably wasn't the best idea...
