There's no white ore in the Beta raws. I call shenanigans, or a texturepack glitch.

There's no way to play this game without buying it, right? I just can't afford it

There is Creative Mode, aka Minecraft Classic. you can build stuff with other people, but theres no biomes, monsters, nether, inventory (you have unlimited everything, but TNT doesn't work usually), no redstone, or minecarts.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Hooray, no more tree lag! Too bad I have to work furiously on Christmas presents for a few days. Oh well, turning the draw distance back to Far can be my reward for a hard week's work. :D

We really aught to just clear the Infiniminer thing entirely, as it is no longer the groundbreaking popular game it was when Rhodan wrote that title.
...Rhodan has also been conspicuously absent from this thread.

I bought this game literally the day before it went beta. Hell yeah, free updates, all the way.

Then I made a large tower with circular stairs that led to a pleasant viewing platform with waterfalls installed around the edges. Hell yeah, getting into this whole 'thing'.

Then I tried to make a lava moat covered by glass around the outside. It was too close and the resulting fire burned down the entire island.

Just hell yeah.

There you go, changed the title.  I was too busy playing Minecraft to actually post in this thread.
Also, Minecraft is even awesomer with the right mods, haven't seen those mentioned here a lot.
Can't wait until the better ones get update to the latest version.

I haven't explored those much. Any suggestions?

Heh, yeah. I'm glad I got it during Alpha. So, if the updates don't come free for those who bought it with beta... how exactly does that work?

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Well, a favourite of mine is the Biometerrain mod that lets you change all kinds of settings in the terrain generator so you can have larger biomes, floating islands, more dungeons, different ore distributions and so on.  The best part of this mod are the new tree types that appear in certain biomes.
There are also various mods that add mobs like humans, bears, wolves, lions and even cave-digging trolls and rideable horses/unicorns/pegasi.
Other mods try to balance things up a bit, such as giving you more stairs for your sticks, or letting you turn wool into thread.
The "Fancypack" mod adds a lot of new items like chairs, tables, clay crafts, bone crafts, lanterns, metal crafts, roads, potted plants and farmable versions of each plant.
The "Minecart Mania" mod lets you place boosters, switches, delays, reversals and more on tracks so you can make proper transportation systems.
The "Controllerblock" mod allows you to place blocks that change type or appear/disappear when the controller block is powered. Awesome for making drawbridges, hidden doors, traps and even moving windmills.

I can just keep going though, the variety of mods is near endless.  My favourite is probably the one that lets you pick up chickens and float down from cliffs with them.

Beta people get all updates free until release. then they only get bug fixes free.
I'm probably off a bit, though.

Notch has fixed the epic lag from leaf drop, now, apparently. Will report back after I've tested a bit.

Edit: Yep, definitely fixed. While not recording with Fraps, my fps went from 100(before beta), to 20(beta update) to 100 again (latest patch)
I heart Notch.

I'm really glad that leaf decay is back. Makes cutting down trees so much easier (and less flammable).
