Minecraft.

[Xeans]

Nope. Not a 'which servers have the bestest yiffy-scritchy' thread.

Instead, I'm wondering what the minecrafters amongst our noble fuzzy ranks enjoy in the game. Why do you play? To build a massive golden phallic symbol? To explore the rare geometry glitch floating dirt islands of the north? Do you prefer the social multiplayer aspect (or cluster-frak of pvp servers) Or the tranquility and isolation of single play?

And, if you can, tell a story of your best experience in minecraft.

Well it's still fresh in my mind since I played not an hour ago, but I think the thing I most enjoy about Minecraft is how I can play for hours. Alone. And still be as entertained as if I had a group of friends to play with. Meeting goals, accomplishing things I set out to do when I first created the world...it's a good feeling to get something done that needs doing, even in a virtual world. This afternoon, I struck diamond. I then proceeded to make a diamond pick and shovel and re-roofed my house and added a second story. Even the little things like chopping down 4 stacks worth of trees make you think, "Now I can get shit DONE."

I actually just got the game yesterday, but I love it. So far I've only done solo on peaceful mode. I love exploring the areas surrounding my houses and building new structures. I think I'll expand my houses next. Then I'll try playing with enemies. Multiplayer too. The best moment I've had so far was the first time it started raining. I was so amazed; it really showed how in-depth the universe of the game is. Also, today was the first time I struck lapis lazuli and redstone. It was great to see ore of a new color.

I used to play online, until my underground base and subway system was raided by a band of roguish vandals.

Nowadays I spend most of my time in single player building bunkers n' shit.

My best moment was making that subway system ;_;

That feel when you will never be autistic enough to make those amazing structures you see in minebot.

I like joining random server's and writing YIFF in big letters in the sky. :<

annnddd I like hiding on pillars at night because im scared of hostile mobs

I like the SMP server I'm a mod on. My greatest work so far is a massive stone statue in Kit's likeness (Uber-Kit), but my current project, a nine-floor fortress called Castle Fuchsenstein, will be even better upon completion.

 

[Schwimmwagen]

When I play MC, I like playing in a close-knit group. I hate the public games and such...

I don't like doing big artistic structures or anything like that, but I like exploring and working as a group to build our town.

 

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

Team up and make a hypercube (tesseract)

 

[Koronikov]

No, it was not.

... unless you mean in classic... then possibly.

If you saw some jackass turning everything red and black... then that's even more likely.

 

[Alastair Snowpaw]

another minecraft thread?
...
there is no good in this world.....

 

[Heliophobic]

The actual discussion threads always necro.

 

[Zasha]

Trying to construct a parthanon. Started twice, got half way but never managed to finish due to either server resets or lack of time during the summer. Sigh. >:

 

[Heliophobic]

OH FUCK I FORGOT THIS THREAD EXISTED.

Renamed my original map back to 'World 1'.
Three worlds so far. One pre-1.8, one island map, one swamp map.

I LIKE THIS.

 

[ramsay_baggins]

Try the 1.8 seed 'herpadong'

Tis a good seed =3

 

[T j k]

First time I ever played I started next to a lake shaped like a dong.

The best thing that ever happened to be in MineCraft is being in a cave, a creeper blowing up near me, and revealing a cave with a large abundance of lapis, gold, and diamonds. If it weren't for that creeper I wouldn't have found that cave. ^.^ I haven't gotten into much of the adventure update, yet. Creative is just too appealing. Especially with the TNT.

EDIT: I checked out the Herpadong seed, and found a pretty hill. I tried to make a 3D gif. It didn't work out too well, but it worked out sorta nice.

Today I started building an awesome underwater glass dome building. There's a hallway/tunnel leading from the shore to the entrance. I'm not sure what I'll put inside it. It'll either be one large circular room or I'll divide it into smaller ones.
