Nah.

did he come back or something

because when he went to work on his new stupid game he left jeb in charge

Notch was still involved though. He mostly just pokes his head around and posts things and junk.

Man, Feed the Beast is a lot of fun, but I just can't get the hang of some of the mods. Got a buddy who shares a base with me who does all the machines while I dig the tunnels and rooms though, it's been a blast.

Hey, I'd be more than interested in joining the server, if that's quite all right. Could I ask for the contact info?

I had to stop paying the server for now. Maybe someday I can build a community and have it run itself buuuut I am not up to it right now.

Aw; sad Fox-Demon is sad.

I find Minecraft to be a bigger time-sink than World of Warcraft, so I really had to stop playing, it just took too much of my time when I was playing.

So. Have any of you been able to build Escher's Stairwell in Minecraft? I have been trying, but I can't seem to get the last block to go in right.

Two friends and I are probably going to get together and run a new vanilla server for a year. The new snapshots are getting us excited.

I should start playing Minecraft at some point.

My friends and I simply like doing little tournaments when we get together.

We each take like an hour or so, and build a maze for the other one to solve.
Once, we had our friend visit from New Mexico, and we did a three player version. My maze a single hairpin turn that triggered a length of undergorund dynamite leading to another player's maze (annihilating it completely). I broke the world, but my friends response was priceless!

Me: Hey, I have to leave for work in a few minutes, do my maze first!

*He walks in, steps on the pressure plate, turns around and walks outside*

Him: "Dude your maze sucks, it doesn't work proper..."

*BOOM bang pow kachoo POOF*
*A line of smoke and crumbling earth leads to his maze*
*everyone gets kicked off the server*
* *

We log back in and finds that his maze is left in shambles, stuff was floating around randomly, rooms were indistinguishable from each other.

Me: Well, I have to go to work. have fun guys!

That was the most memorable. That's always done in creative mode.

not in creative mode: I'm the pit-digger of my group. I dig down. I then use that to build a castle. My friends call me the wildman, I only come to town for food. Otherwise I live in the wilderness building big things. My favorite was a large catacombs.
I went to the tallest mountain near town, and killed myself and marked where the spot was. I dug straight down from there, and that was the entrance to the underground temple.
Then I built a temple as my way to get out. It was one of my favorite castles ever.

If only there were more decent Creative servers

Go on...

I saw a few at one time, but they mainly got populated by pixel art and they weren't very "creative" in the end.

can someone tell me why minecraft is fun? i never tried to play it

I like to build things and make art. Some people like the rpg or grinding aspect. I like the grinding sometimes but mobs scare me too much.

I enjoy the base building part of it myself, though I tend to do so mostly in survival mode...

Need a little variety.

I occasionally find building fun, but I can't stand going out and actually getting materials.

Minecraft........ it is a time sink for time sink's sake as far as I can tell, where you will eventually end up with "art" that you can be proud of. .... I would just rather go do something else though, and I don't get why it is that fun either. But it's like wondering why Candy Crush is fun. You don't have to "get" it.

It's tough to explain, but Yahtzee does a pretty good job of it. He craps on almost every game out there, but nearly praises Minecraft.
