You have to play Indev or Infdev to see the coolest features, which are available after you purchase it. You destroy raw resource tiles, like wood logs, stone, ore, etc... and process them into components using a Crafting table: Wood makes poles, bowls, signs, doors, chests, etc. You combine materials at a crafting table, or transform them in a Furnace (all built from raw materials) and aquire new materials like glass or iron.

Time passes, and as day changes to night, the fauna become hostile. You basically have to hole up somewhere safe, produce your own light to see, and defend yourself against enemies until daybreak comes again. It's actually pretty well-done.

Hehe, Solifuge that skin is pretty neat.

I might be so inclined to take some skin commissions if anyone has something sufficiently awesome in mind.

Hmm... how about Link? Though the hat might be hard to get right...

I can manage the hat... but are we talking first-generation Link with his heroic brown sideburns and big nose, or pretty-boy Twilight Princess Link?

[dragnar]

I was thinking of Link from Ocarina of Time.

[PTTG??]

Ahem.

Various classes of dwarf.

IE; Mechanic, Noble, Miner, Fisherdwarf.

Don't forget the smiley face on the hat.

Three-Panel-Soul style? The face on the hat might be tough at MC resolution, but I can give it a shot. Problem is, the proportions are a bit off for dwarves, and there is insufficient room on the face to fit a good Beard in there. It will require a good deal of creativity.

I think Notch likes his new water system..
It's a shame I don't..
*Shrug*



SUDDENLY.
A CAVE.
DIRECTIONAL WATER.

[PTTG??]

Yeah, I guess the face could be hard... but I think the beard can be done, possibly by continuing it onto the torso.

 New Infdev update making things look sexy as hell, and caves return with a vengeance.

 Leaf transparency is a little messed up, but whatever. We have cool liquids now.

[Solifuge]

Yay new update! Also, the comments are a hillarious reminder of how tardtastic the MC forumites can be.

Spoiler: Constructive Critique = Capitalist Pigs Laughing About Ethiopia (click to show/hide)

You need to improve the water somewhat. It acts like pudding

Fuck off. Whine, whine, whine with you, isn't it? Why don't you just be happy with what you've got. There are poor starving Ethiopian children who don't even have a warm meal to eat, they aren't in the high and mighty place to whine about fucking water physics in a game made of blocks. I hate you

What's wrong with honest criticism?
As long as he's not rude or insulting, there's nothing negative with just voicing your opinion.

I would feel insulted to have released two quality patches in two days, then have people tell me more of what to do. Can you imagine the stress of that poor Ethiopian boy? Every day, he is tasked with getting clean food and water, just to survive. I can imagine Notch is in the same situation with his high-maintenance fans, such as AwesomeSauceUK.

Maybe he should move to Africa and get whipped for having sex with a white woman a few times, while trying to feed him family of 4, under the constant threat of rabies, then he might learn some manners

Constructive criticism is helpful, and doesn't in any way indicate ungratefulness. Your comment, on the other hand, was simply rude, and doesn't help Notch or the community in the slightest. The best ways to help Notch are to provide feedback, and to create friendly community to attract players. Trying to "defend" him from criticism just makes us all look bad.

It helps the community shut the fuck up and be happy with what they've got. Have you ever walked 5 miles simply to get clean water for your family, carrying a 20kg's worth of iron utensils all them 5 miles, taking all day, just to keep your family alive? Yeah. Try and do that, then come back and whine like a bitch. Filthy capitalist dog can not appreciate anything he is given, even if it is spoon fed to him on a daily basis.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Send that guy to Ethiopia. If he already is, sell his computer for some proper provisions.

[dragnar]

I can't really believe that's serious. I mean really, that's just too ridiculous. It's like an old man ranting about "the good old days" and "In my day we walked 5 miles to school uphill, both ways!" Just an over-exaggerated joke.

Of course, I don't deny the forums stink, and it's perfectly possible that the idiot is perfectly serious, but I just suspect that's a bad troll.

[Volatar]

Man, the new water is :awesome:

[RedWarrior0]

I bet the guy talking about Ethiopia has never been there. Bloody hypocrite.

[PTTG??]

The new water is definitely the best water system he's had, but it still leaves something to be desired.
 
For one thing, canals should work much better than they do.
 
I like the flowing water and the water levels, though. It's just too jelly-like to really feel watery.
 
I'm confident Notch will come up with something with a bit more, for want of a better word, realism.
 
I'm really looking forward to exploring these new caves. Maybe make a channel of water leading endlessly downhill so I can dam it up at my campsite and then, if I respawn at the surface, simply hop into the stream and flow back to where I was.
 
Or maybe a log flume...
 
What we need is a Bin block that sucks in any inventory objects that land near it. Then automated goods transport could be done.
