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.

it isn't

Man that is an excellent, if somewhat adult way of describing the game!

Would if I had a reliable sorce of Internet besides cellular...

The Feed the Beast Infinity pack has been a lot of fun to play with. We had been playing Resurrection with GregTech, and truth be told, it really sucked. Infinity is a lot more balanced, but the monsters are a little too easy most of the time once you build some decent armor and weaponry.

No.

does minecraft still exist?

I really can't see any appeal in FTB Infinity. I've been watching a bunch of the Hermitcraft vanilla LPs recently, so I decided to branch out and check out their Infinity series...and immediately lost all interest in it. There's just so much additional content, and almost none of it seems to be designed to fit together with much of anything but itself, not even the vanilla it's supposedly based off of.

Maybe it's just me, but I really like things to feel like a cohesive whole, and Infinity seems to just throw that out the window in favor of ALL THE STUFF! ALL AT ONCE!

I've been thinking about getting a vanilla server for about 16 people as an "official" nga mc thingo.

I'll make it's own thread if there's demand for it.

Also I'll get a ftb server someday if there's demand for it, or donations.

You guys should play with us.

yeah
