What is MineCraft?

MineCraft is a brand new game developed by a person named "Notch" (Markus Persson). Within the last year, Notch developed and coded this game and designed it as a world where you survive all alone with no one else around you. Your objective, other than survival, is to construct your own home on whichever island you happen to spawn on. The entire terrain is made entirely of square cubes. Literally everything is blocky. You have a vast amount of creatures around the land that you can defeat and gain items from.

The good creatures:
Pigs
Sheep
Chickens
Cows

The bad creatures:
Zombies - Night only (Burns on sunlight contact)
Skeletons - Night only (Burns on sunlight contact)
Creepers - Night only (can survive in sunlight, but isn't aggressive)
Spiders - Night only (can survive in sunlight, but isn't aggressive)
Slimes - Caves only (Not sure if lights on fire from sunlight or not)

Now, these all give items. Pigs give bacon, sheep give wool, chickens give feathers or eggs, and cows can give milk or their 'skin' to make leather. The Zombies also give feathers, skeletons give arrows, creepers give gunpowder, and spiders give string.

These items, specifically, are very essential to survival, if you know how to use them.

So, has anyone else experienced this amazing game yet? :D

I have! It's amazing, and everyone should get it.

Hah, about time this forum got up and running. Yeah, pretty good game. Thanks for the premium account Chris! I'll pay you back.... eventually! :D

Yeah, you and abdul, derek. :P

Creative mode is fun, and for free users. However, Survival and it's counterpart Survival Multiplayer are premium users only. I can understand how it's only for the premium users because of how the game is still being developed, but eventually it'll be at Beta and finally full release. I can't wait. :D

Need to add Slimes to the bad list. :p

Well, they're mixed, really. They appear in even Peaceful because they're not that dangerous. However, they can do some damage in their larger formes. So I'll add a mixed category. rofl.

well lol i am just starting to play this game . but will probaly just use free mode. its the best i think.

well got to get back to it . almost finished my big underwater caves

It's amazing when you first try out, yeah. You get unlimited blocks of every tile. When you get into Survival Multiplayer or just Survival mode, it makes it much harder, and more fun. There are at least a hundred more blocks for you to use compared to single player mode, where you don't get much.
