Its a game (still in beta) where you can build anything out of blocks. You can dig in any direction too. Although you need to ccraft picks and tools/weapons to mine deeper and build stronger houses. There are enemies that come out at night like zombies and 'creepers' who explode. It's purely a sandbox game to create stuff in randomly. Its written in java and is very boxy.

Is a free single player version no longer an option? I could only find the "dead world" browser version, that only lets you break/build blocks (no creating/mining). I watched many videos (thanks Alky :glare: ... :p ) and searched a bit last night, but was consistantly routed to the "Pay-to-play" registration page. Yeah, I know there are torrents, but they are outdated/unsupported DEV versions, and I no longer trust p2p downloads.

Granted, $15 Euro/$20USD (pre-final release price) isn't that bad for a leisure game. What I can't put much support behind, is a year-old Java browser game with only two people working on it (as of 10 Jan), that has already raked in over $10 million USD, and has had very limited game improvements over the last year. (But dozens of player-based mods/hacks)
Also, the game has already experienced server support issues. The "fix", was to "Move to the Cloud"...
And dedicate an entire server to just processing payments... :facepalm:

I'm not trying to discourage anyone here, since I will probably give it a shot anyway, but even the developer notes state that there is no guarantee on when / if the game will ever be finalized.
I just hate the thought of learning the mechanics, then venturing into multiplayer only to be overwhelmed by players using unofficial mods due to lack of developer control. Been there, done that already. :p

btw- I seem to remember seeing a Minecraft thread on another (non fanbased) forum that has generated a few thousand posts in the last year. I'll read through that and see if anything there could be useful here.

@McVapor- While I tend to lean towards SP games, if I get rolling in this (finger gettin' itchy...), I would be happy to join fellow vapers on your server. Those zombies will have to find us in clouds of vapor! :laugh:

I play Minecraft almost religiously but I'm a single player survivalist mostly. I'm currently building the tree house from h*** utilizing a close clumping method and currently have the trees climbing from bedrock to ground level +2 levels (about seven blocks high).

Minecraft, be careful, its ADDICTIVE.

Man.... Notch needs to get his sh** in order. See my signature? It says my server is down but it is not. His server is, but no one can connect.

Infernal even though you play singleplayer, nows the time to play singleplayer considering that Notch is messing up our multiplaying :p

Actually, it says your server is "Online", but the Minecraft login server isn't allowing connections, so single player games can't even be started.

Edited 'cause I'm an idiot. I DL the launcher (minecraft.exe), so no need to open the website for slingle player.

@ McVapor- I edited my last post.
Going to the website isn't necessary for single player if the game launcher file has been downloaded. I had only started the game once, during the launcher install (278kb file), and didn't realize the same file actually started the game from the desktop.

Gimme about a week to figure out how much/when I can play. (other than all - night - long... :facepalm: )
I have a fairly large aviary of exotic birds, as well as a few babies that keep me busy. As addicted as I am already :p , the birds have to remain my focus.

I registered as CavemanAZ

@ dys- Just make sure you clear your schedule the day you start! :laugh:
I restarted (SP) 3 times, because I wasn't able to find anything other than wood before nightfall.
Gotta have :evil: or you die!
