Hmm can you not do anything with the glowstone dust yet? I just spent awhile mining it in the Nether and now I can't figure out any use for it.
Edit: nm lol just found the glowstone block under the torches in the crafting menu

I played the demo for about 10 minutes, found it interminably dull. I get the idea, the joy is in ownership of you world, but the 8-bit style makes everything look the same (within reason), and with such simple mechanics, I was bored before the sun set. It's hugely popular though, so it's probably just me.
Not just you. I can't really appreciate it either. I like looking at what others have built, but spending time on it myself isn't much fun.

Hey, when you're right, you're right.Calling it: Jim Sterling.
Edit:
or you can go into caves and look for easy gold diamods and shit
what he wrote is what is awasome about minecraft. You must put serious work to do some awasome things and when you will done it's probably the best thing in the world.
Ggiand gold dick would't be so awasome if you could done it in minutes. (yatzhe review)

To be fair, he gave it 7.5/10, and was very complimentary on various aspects. He just, like me, questions wether hours of holding a button on front of grey blocks is worth it to build a fairly dull block structure or two.
I admire the game for it's approach, and bringing something new, I just found it incredibly boring. I hope those who enjoy it have hours of fun, I'll just watch the best stuff on YouTube.

I believe water moves 8 spaces out from the source block so you would need to place multiple source blocks with a bucket to make a decent river...if that's the problem you were having with water.
Also, anyone wanting to build underwater place a stalk of sugar cane or a ladder to create an air pocket so you don't have to resurface as often. I've tried this on the PC version not too sure if it carries over to the 360 version.
Being bored before the sun sets is putting hardly any time into it at all. How can you possibly judge the value of a demo based on less than 10 minutes play?

Well, as I was bored by ten minutes, it's kind of unlikely that another half an hour would make much difference. Plus, Minecraft kind of puts its stall out straight away, its not like I only played darts in GTA4 before deciding it wasn't for me, I tried the bread and butter and didn't feel it. And it wasn't that I wasn't entirely sure, I was utterly bored to tears. Do you think hiding in a dark shack for half on hour would've changed my mind?

So people who you let in to your world can destroy everything you build? That's some nasty stuff, I'll be extra carefull with letting people in
set your game to offline or invite only to avoid this.
I always play like that. But I'm also active on online forums like Neogaf (duh) and sometimes you decide to let someone in from the internet to make some stuff together or something. But now I know they can also destroy my stuff I'll think twice before letting someone in.
Luckily I have a few mates who play this as wel, whom I'm sure of won't destroy my precious buildings

IIRC you can just hit select to see all the players in your game and press 'a' to kick them
Oh my this is a good video.

you need to cross check them though
I wonder how updates will be handled. Also i think they should do PS3 version. I remember i used mods on pendrive for UT3 and user generated content for every Pro Evolution Football.
Game could do another mln on PSN.

According to Raptr I have 38 hours logged.
Question about splitscreen. Can I play splitscreen and still have people online join me? Can me and a splitscreen guest join an online freinds world?
Update news...

Acquiring blocks initially is much more of a chore than it is for the vast majority of the game. You have to use your hands and then wooden tools which are incredibly slow and weak. You can upgrade to stone and iron tools very quickly that let you destroy most blocks in a fraction of a second. You also wouldn't have to hide in a dark shack for half an hour, since the tutorial should have you make some torches and a bed which lets you sleep through the night. Having not even got that far, I really don't think you have experienced the bread and butter.
But hey, there's a good chance it isn't for you and you would find the whole thing boring. I thought I would be one of those people, but I got addicted to expanding my house and I now sit proud with a castle on a mountain. It's only really once you can see your creation, even something small, that you can get a feeling of what Minecraft is about. It isn't about mining, that's a means to an end and I find that creating something even on a big scale is quicker than you might initially expect it to be. You don't have to be down a mine for hours and hours at a time unless you want a castle made of gold and diamond.

So guys, I made this gorgeous white flying island in the middle of the sea.
It reminds me of 2001, fez, moebius, nausicaa, panzer dragoon all at the same time (yes, I mean it).
Problem is, how do I climb up there? It's flying :lol I want my house to be on the top of the island... grass, flowers, trees, blue water, clouds moving slowly... aaaaah

Maybe build a glass construction in the sea that will allow you to make stairs that go up to your island? Dunno if that's possible though
A flying island sounds pretty awesome though.
Once it's completed (I'm trying to make the grass grow up there... ain't easy it seems) I'll post a picture. I'm very proud of it, 20hrs worth of "work" :lol
Mmmh glass, I could try it, I've got huge amounts of sand

I too find the game incredibly dull. However, I know exactly what my issue with the game is. I personally find no joy whatsoever in creating things. Just feels like work. For me, destroying and killing are much more fun pursuits for a game. Sad but true. I guess I could play Minecraft online and drop into open games to wreak havoc on people's creations but I don't want to be a douchebag so I'll just avoid the game altogether.
I absolutely love the game but I too have zero interest in building stuff. I cant get the motivation to build things and when I do start I just give up. The reason why I love it is the exploration, the fact that you can have micro adventures, hoarding valuable materials and creating cool machines. Thats the beauty of the game, there is something for everyone. The fact that the game inherently has a high barrier to entry understandably puts people off.
There is nothing better than putting on some music, a podcast or tv show, equipping all your mining items and exploring the caves for a couple of hours. I find it borderline meditative.
