Minecraft minecraft, minecraft minecraft mine mine craft craft? Minecraft minecraft minecraft.... minecraft minecraft?!!!!
Have i gone minecraft insane? possibly- anyways i guess minecraft is what people are interested in right now so i thought id share a little bit of my save and some tips for those of you just starting-
Keep making a new save untill you get an interesting map! i settled on a snow map(snowballs are so fun!) with some cool looking hills.
First off- whenever you make a new save- go for stone tools! wood is a waste of time when cobblestone is so easy to get. What youll need: 4 blocks of wood. make some planks into a combo box, and then make a wooden pick- with this you can mine cobblestone and make stone tools this saves a bunch of time, and using wood tools seem completely pointless. Another note- never make gold tools, they are as bad as wood in terms of durability. Gold armor is just as terrible, but if you have a bunch feel free to make it- i havent found any use for gold yet so im just storing it in blocks for now- i hear its used as currency in multiplayer.
Your first house! Build it in a tree! because why not! get a bit more wood- make a few ladder pieces, find a big tree- and climb up the base- hollow out the inside. this will keep you safe from wondering creepers blowing your house up or skeletons killing you. If you didnt manage to find any torches- you can still seal up your tree house and still see fairly well because leaves are fairly see through.
The first time you spawn in the game- dig a ditch around the block you spawn on- come back and mark it off- build a little hut with extra weapons inside incase you die. If you die in the middle of the night- you will spawn inside your house and be able to collect supplies to go on a corpse run!
Light up the night! Try not to work on your house at night as creepers tend to fall from the sky with little warning :( if you want to work at night put plenty of torches to keep them away
Find an open cave instead of digging one! i happend to come across an endless cave in my save on the other side of a hill from where i built- i havent found an end to this cave in over a week and a half- i have found at least 2 dozen diamond spawns, 7-8 spawner rooms and all the redstone and iron i could use!
Well thats what i have for tips, here are some pictures of my save- hopefully ill have a video soon.
This first one is of my waterslide im working on- your boat will actually fly through the air from falling watter
These next are from my awesome tree house- i grew more trees and am currently expanding it
Make an aquarium! this is probably one of my favorites- this pool will suck everything into it- and generally has bacon waiting in the bottom for me to collect- you can also trap a bunch of zombies in it :D
lastly- record players! you can get records by making a skeleton kill a creeper- just run them around untill they stand in front of each other and they will duke it out! youll be rewarded with a record that plays some fun music in your house
hope you enjoyed! video of my water ride to come soon!
Is there a point to this game, or is it just something to waste time on... Im trying to figure out if its worth the download and time.
ReplyDeletei should really try this game out...looks addictive O_O
ReplyDeletei kind of thought that myself when people explained it too me, mostly because i didn't want to get addicted to it- but yeah its kind of just to waste time, but you will see after about 15minutes how awesome this game is- you cant really explain why its so awesome, its just incredibly fun to play.
ReplyDeleteIts only $10 while its in beta so buy soon! its definitely worth the investment ten fold
This game is so addicting best $10 I've ever spent
ReplyDeletewhat a crazy game!
ReplyDeleteMinecraft is epic! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I love your tree house.

ReplyDeletei've seen some impressive stuff on minecraft.
ReplyDeleteYes you've gone insane.
ReplyDeleteminecraft is so addicting :D

ReplyDeleteif only my computer was powerful enough...
I can hardly put this game down, it's just so addicting!
ReplyDeleteNice winter wonderland you got going there. MC = crack!
ReplyDeleteminecraft looks like a cool game, does anyone have a download link
ReplyDeleteamazing, I didn't know that
ReplyDeleteNicely done I must day... I really got to get into MC...
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am the only game who hasn't played this game, seems like everyone and their mother plays it.
ReplyDeleteI've got a friend who plays this, will have to show him your screen shots and tips.
ReplyDeleteLooks like every one does play this game, Did you see the guy who made a computer in this game? what the fuck kind of person do you have to be to have that much time

ReplyDeletenice mine craft shit
ReplyDeletegood thing I visited your blog today!
ReplyDeleteThat`s a pretty good list of things for newbies! I`ve downloaded the client, but so far have avoided buying the game - I REALLY don`t have the time to commit to making anything worthwhile...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this game out. Just saw it featured on G4
ReplyDeletei love the designs but never saw the point in it
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteThe opening sentence reminds me of a movie where all the seagulls are yelling 'mine', but I can't for the life of me remember what movie that is.
ReplyDeletemy cousin just showed me this game, now I have to try it, thanks for this
ReplyDeleteThis game looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah man, minecraft is like the new runescape for me, but better. How do you find a tree big enough to live in? That's crazy. Unless you mean like hollowing out the leaves and setting up base there. That's actually a good idea, make a continual tree base highway haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a water elevator as an alternate route from my first outpost to the sealab. Shit's gonna be so cash.
I love your tree house by the way, it looks very welcoming and warm.
Haha poor pig. Can you post a guide on how you make those mob drowners? The first one I made failed miserably. At night I would go into my tiny hut, close the door and I would wait. The ceiling to my hut was glass and it was filled with water and extended up. It easily caught a few spiders and zombies but I couldn't quiet figure out the best method of drowning them and even when they did die the current didn't exactly carry it to my collection point.
Damn I really want some records to play haha. Okay, I think I've typed too much, good luck.
Minecraft's crazy!
ReplyDeletenice and crazy game
