I haven't, but I can't see how that could be fun -- is it just a bunch of avatars jumping around hitting each other with swords?

Did anyone get an ILX server going in the end?

Not that I know of. I read somewhere that hosting a Minecraft server really chews up bandwidth, something like a terabyte a month even with only half a dozen users.
Also, I'm off this now. Nothing wrong with the game, in fact it's the most fun I've had playing a videogame in a long time. But I can't justify the amount of time I've pished away. I actually deleted my save files, then not one hour later found out about the upcoming 1.6 update. Must... resist... nnnnrrrrgghhh...

Really cool physics-based game mechanics. Wonder if any of them will find their way into Minecraft.
― lukas, Monday, 22 August 2011 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I like the skating puzzle, as simple as it was, though I didn't figure out how to kill the golden beholder without taking a lot of hits. Maybe by switching between skating and hitting? The ball rolling wasn't at all frustrating - the balls never got stuck in a corner. I haven't beat the game yet. I got killed by a gob-spitting mucus zombie.

i think it's time for me to buy this
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Thursday, 29 September 2011 22:52 (twelve years ago) link
well i'm addicted.
the crafting mechanism is awesome, although I'm struggling how to figure out how to make windows (sure it involves sand?)
trying not to look up any crafting recipes, and figure them out for myself - this appears to be the major appeal of the game imo.
But the first time playing, and hid away in a tiny dark cave with just a tiny hole listening to the horrible noises as darkness comes in - is just one of those unique gaming moments.
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Monday, 10 October 2011 03:06 (twelve years ago) link
but evolving from my cave i now have a large two floored stone mini castle with furnace and its own garden.

hefty session today
learnt a valuable lesson - don't venture too far from the den without any means whatsoever of finding your way back, and don't take half your belongings with you. Spent a good couple of hours just trying to get back to base, every night time building a quick den. Just completely lost!
So I ended up just having to kill myself, of course losing all the stuff I had on me.
If this is what being stranded on a deserted island is really like, count me in!
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Monday, 10 October 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
crafting is annoying me though, it lacks consistency in some things and I have to look them up. for instance making a ladder i discovered by myself. So then I wanted to make a fence, and so thought well it should be quite similar. But no instead of using the full 3x3 workshop grid you have to do it 2x3 for the fence. How the hell are you supposed to know that?
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Monday, 10 October 2011 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
but hey i did discover the armour parts totally by accident though.
and a bowl. wtf i gotta do with that? i just eat my food like an animal!
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Monday, 10 October 2011 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
Even more frustrating is losing all your items by falling into a lava pool.
― triple black belt in ILX-fu (snoball), Monday, 10 October 2011 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
so i looked up all the recipes, and yeah i wouldn't have guessed half of them. luckily there's not as many as i thought, just repeats with different materials.
as addictive as this game is, i can happily not play it for days. just that when i do open it up it will stay on for hours
i tried creative mode as i wanted to dabble with red stone. made a few moving carts etc but meh, i'll come back to it at some point. still prefer survival right now.

It is gob-smacking amazing. I've been playing this since October last year. In terms of time played to money spent, it's the best gaming decision I've made (worst decision: buying a Dreamcast)
― I certainly wouldn't have, but hey. (snoball), Saturday, 19 November 2011 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
i'll be looking at this later, so what's new in the full release?
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Saturday, 19 November 2011 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
More mobs, NPC villagers, some additional crafting recipes, ability to repair tools, an 'enchantment' system for powering up tools and weapons, and an actual proper end to the game with an end boss (you can keep playing a particular world after it's defeated though).
― I certainly wouldn't have, but hey. (snoball), Saturday, 19 November 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
definitely don't regret buying it for him, he has played it a hell of a lot and the new verzh is actually quite beautiful too but i have enough time-guzzling gaming habits thx :)
― Joe Hart is Fellaini Hunter (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 19 November 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link
so how do i get this? is it just an update to the beta version i already paid for? i can't seem to find any info on the minecraft website.
My version went through an update, not sure if it's the full thing or not. How do i repair items?
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Saturday, 19 November 2011 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
i think if you paid for the beta then the update is already paid for, j says u shd use "force update" from the options menu.
― Joe Hart is Fellaini Hunter (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 19 November 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
ah okay, although there doesn't appear to be a force update in my options it doesn't say Beta anymore. just Minecraft 1.00 so i guess i'm good to go.
Started a new game, but not seem too much difference yet. There is a more pleasant sound effect when i collect xp blobs. And spider eyes, not sure what they are for. nice to be playing again. Oh god why did i load this up. need. to. stop.
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Saturday, 19 November 2011 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
there's an END BOSS in this game? now i don't think i understand it
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Saturday, 19 November 2011 22:54 (twelve years ago) link
It's entirely optional, and even if you beat it you can still continue with your world.
