I'm currently laying tracks from my house to other mines right now.
LMAO. Being greeted by a creeper staring inside through the door in the morning is always fun. A few arrows to the eyes through the door always does the trick though. Also in my friends' game (the only world I play for now), we have a makeshift storage room/dormitory on the side of a hill while be build our main base/house, and every morning without fail there's at least 4 spiders right above the door waiting to immediately jump on our backs when we exit. It's hilarious when someone is in a hurry to leave early in the morning and forgets about the spider ambush.I was mining in a cave when I got attacked by Skeletons, got back to my makeshift home with one heart of health left and survived until morning
I opened my door to go out and kill some pigs to regain health and as soon as I did a creeper appeared to my very left, he was just fucking hiding there right up against my house and blew me and my house to bits
This is especially true when morning comes and the really peaceful music kicks in. I think I heard the 360 version plays the music much more often, but on the PC version it was pretty rare, so hearing the music that might signal morning had arrived was so peaceful and nice.
Do you have to push it yourself up hill? How did you design it around when a mine goes super deep?
Yes, I am really digging the music as well. This game is so damn relaxing, yet it is also tense. Amazing to have that sense of both emotions going on.

Just curious, what can you do in the demo? Are you just confined to the tutorial?
Yes, just a tutorial area. Which is pretty basic, but still in depth. They start prompting you to unlock the game early on, though. I went ahead and unlocked it as soon as I started collecting wood, lol. The game is a drug.
Powered minecarts, of course.
Minecraft in a nutshell. Should be used as a tagline.
Also appropriate with creepers.
Hey chaps, sent 40 minutes scouring my world for pumpkins, without even a single sighting... Might someone be kind enough to share how they may be procured ingame?
But it is prompting so many ideas and hopes for things they might implement. There seems to be a large desire across the community for stained glass windows, including tinted (black) and frosted (white) perhaps formed from coloured sand. But the former would just be the cherry on the cake, I think

If you take too long, yes. Drops will despawn after five minutes if you are within a certain range of them (the chunk they are in is still loaded in memory).

Created a new world with the seed gargamel just to see what it was like....
Holy cow! This world is so cool. I wish I would have used this seed in the beginning. Any other cool seeds people have found?

Any advice on where to find diamond blocks? Can't find any in my world. Should I just dig straight down until I hit bedrock or should I try to explore more cave systems?

Ok, who has a spare 360 lying around and is willing to keep it on 24/7 with Minecraft running to make it a GAF community server?
Edit: That's a serious question.

Dig down to bedrock, count up 13 blocks then spread out. Apparently they're most commonly found 13-14 blocks above bedrock. I found about 8 at that level as well as a ton of iron and redstone.

Personally, I found the most at 8 blocks above bedrock. After about two hours of mining, me and my bro collectively mined almost 40 diamonds.
gargamel is a pretty popular seed. I was going for resources over aesthetics. I used 404 as a seed. A short walk from spawn there's a big gravel bed. Mine the top layer in the middle and it collapses revealing a huge cave system.

This makes me smile. I remember when he added snow back into the game and then added rain. I was on my way to Rome on the old GAFland server (Exano!) and I saw the parthenon and Ex's huge house on the hill and my little temple come into view when suddenly CRACK and the rain started.
Best minecart trip ever.
Well, second best. The amusement park on NeoCraft is the best ever.

True gangstas put lava behind their windows to give off a creepy lava lamp glow to the house.
I'm trying to build something like this currently, anyone got some tips? I've got a basic glass structure currently with room to walk around and above it. I didn't make it step-like as in this photo, would that make a difference? When I dropped a lava source on top it just went in four directions and didn't cover all the glass. Do I just need more or what?

The 360 version doesn't have dedicated servers. The solution would be what I asked for in post #1125.
Never got round to playing it on the PC, so snapped this up day after release.
In love.
Built a big, but ugly, house in the side of a hill and have been on a good few mining sessions from there.
Today I started a massive castle/mansion on top of a mountain, with stairs through the mountain, tower and turrets on top and lots of torches and glass. Slightly obsessed with it... Which is bad with an exam next week!

Oh yeah, I remember that seed. I tried exploring that one on the PC version, but the cave was so large my laptop couldn't handle it and Minecraft would seize up if I got too deep in the cavern.
But I'm thinking of starting a new game on gargamel when I get bored of my current world. That seems like a perfect place to make a cliff city.
Another Minecraft newbie overhere. I'm not so fund of PC gaming so I never played it before. But now it's on Xbox I finally picked it up. Had some struggles with a zombie the first time around. And after that a creeper decided to blow up my sort of house. But now I've finally managed to build something with torches and a bed. The only and most important thing I'm missing right now is a roof over my head. Anyone who can give me some tips on how to build a roof? I feel pretty terrible not begin able to build that

Guest inventories aren't saved right? So a friend cant join my world and keep what he finds?

Guests can't take items back to their world, but their inventory will be saved in your world for the next time they come back.
1. get rid of double doors
2. line the floor with single half slabs
3. lights, lights,lights
4. Make sure the bed is more than 1 block away from the walls
Otherwise Im stumped.
IIRC mobs cannot spawn on transparent block... ie, make the floor from glass.
To me, it seems that the Xbox version has some unique bugs, i don't think PC 1.6.6 had this sort of mobs-spawn-anywhere issue.

No it's the only way. You can set up a dummy account though, that's what I use for stuff like this and promotions.
Here's my first screenshot. Does anyone know if you can take screenshots without uploading them to Facebook? I hate to spam my friends with countless screenshots from a game they don't even bother.
Thanks, guess I'll do that.
Do you experienced Minecraft players have some tips for exploring the world and trying to craft new stuff like metals and stuff? Because right now I am a bit afraid to go too far away from my house because I need shelter at night for monsters
Also really enjoying the game so far. It's far more entertaining to build stuff then I tought before I bought it.
