You can't really cheat at it, it's more a toy than a game. Play with it however you like :)

Server worlds are identical to SP worls, so you can take a backup and restore it on a server or on a computer for single player. Risk of losing stuff is slim.

Are there any must-have mods or suchlike?

My chum mentioned a nice texture pack that he'd added to it.

There's lots of nice texture packs out there. Some of them need you to run McPatcher first or animated textures (eg water) won't work.

Dunno about mods, but I like the default textures bestest. The fancy one's look all wrong to my eyes.

Aaah, it's a relief to hear that Minecraft is inefficiently coded, even on PCs. Minecraft is the only application that has ever forced the cooling fans to kick in on my once-badass iMac.

I've had it close itself down with a message that it's run out of memory and it didn't want to corrupt my world (I was playing around with the graphics options).

This is on a PC with 12GB of RAM. (And yes I know it'll only use 1.5GB for itself, and yes I know it's probably some dreadful inefficiency in the Java engine. But even so.)

It's strange though, a bit like watching a really good film on a really shitty old VHS tape, your brain just 'adjusts' and it looks fine. Objectively the graphics are fucking appalling, but once you're into the game world, it doesn't matter.

Hearing the monsters snuffling around outside during the night time is surprisingly creepy, like a hero I went back out at the crack of down, and managed to get some baddy to burn to death in the rising sun as I strafed around him (he was firing arrows at me, I managed to steal some arrows after he'd died).

A few things,

First thing: The server is looking really good!, you seem to have built a lot! (from pazland video)

Second thing: cant remember who it was, but someone wanted a Minecraft demo

Third thing: HOW THE HELL DO I STOP ALL THESE E-MAILS SAYING THERE'S BEEN POSTS SINCE MY LAST VISIT?

Forth thing: Hello to all the people that i know out there! Nice to talk to you again!

Fifth Thing: :bulb: I vagually remember DavPaz saying i was rubbish at grammer, so: Hey DavPaz! You're Brilliant! Is that your house?

Thank you for listing to my mindless blabbing.

Had this repeatedly on a machine with "just" 4GB, reinstalled java but used the 64bit version, haven't had it since. Don't know if you already have it or not.

Back on GTAIV/DiRT3 now, ultimately Minecraft was lacking any kind of objective, I think I admire it far more than I like it.

It's a toy, not a game. It requires the player to bring their own imagination.

Oh absolutely, ten years ago I'd have been all over this, and when I was a teenager, I don't think I'd have left the house.

There's a great deal in Minecraft I admire and am very drawn to, but ultimately it turns out I like my gaming time to be a bit more goal-focused these days.

(A younger me would have seen 'the goal' as making something brilliant, but for whatever reason it's not enough now.)

Pazland Main Street

Leaving the Spawn to the South leads to Main Street, where can be found Hot Piss News and the Toboggan Shop.

Aww, you can just see my wooden sea views residence going up in that boat shot. Hopefully I'll get the exterior polished off tonight at work. I'm slightly concerned though that I chose the spot for the views and went back 2 days later to extend on the foundations, only to find the town was twice as close as it was the day before. Might convert the building into a yacht club or something and head out into the hinterlands too find somewhere and build an even betterer cabin.

Oops, sorry about that. I think the town will continue to expand, so indeed if looking for wilderness going a bit further out might be advisable.
