Anyone else play Minecraft?

I have PC version and it sounds like XBox is very limited in comparison.
XBox you need the host logged on to play on the same map, and on PC you need a server which costs £ per month. PC maps are unlimited though... Which sounds mental, but apparently it just keeps generating map as you explore!!

Lol.
Currently halfway through building a massive nuclear sub in Voltz. Well, I say half way, I mean about 1/10th of the way lol.

I decided not to as I'd have to feed it every now and then. The Voltz reactors aren't hard to build though, so I may do a reactor powered version. This one has a huge bank of advanced battery boxes with infinite cells in them so there's enough power to last a lifetime.
It does however have 12 fully functional ICBM launchers, complete with radar station etc. Still plenty of machinery left to put in but it's coming on!

Lols! I have no intention of launching any red matter just yet. Chucked a few antimatter missiles into my bedrock firing range, but the favourite IMO is hypersonics.

I never got into the creative side of it.
I rent a small 12 man server just for my brother and I and we play it on survival mode on the hard setting. Just the plain vanilla version with no mods. We play to our own strict rules such as not building anything that looks unrealistic (e.g. would collapse in real life) and we don't allow mud houses or bridges etc. Also no cheating with admin commands to get saddles or other rarer objects.
We actually started playing on the Xbox originally but that was very limited and the world was on my brothers Xbox which prevented me playing when he wasn't around.
Anyway this year I have spent more time on Minecraft than any other game with the exception of WoW. It is the type of game I just keep going back to.

I've been trying FTB recently but it's just too complicated. Spend half my time looking through the recipes. Most of the stuff seems unnecessary to me. Although I do love having a jetpack and diamond chests. I prefer the creative side of vanilla tbh. Although it can get a bit boring at times

That episode of voltz was hilarious!

I just rewatched it lol.
'Duncan, antimatter explosives as fast as you can please, this will eat the world' LOL.

Also funny was sips and sjin giggling like kids as the explosion gobbled everything up...
I think I'm hooked. I've now got a big house in the side of a hill, a ton of anally-labelled chests and crafting benches etc, a handy oak orchard (how is it possible that I got 26 saplings from 5 trees??), and a passage to the underground in my basement.
I've watched a fair few yogscast vids over the years so I like to think I know what I'm doing. In reality I haven't really got a clue.
Seriously addictive stuff though. And to think I sneered at it ages ago.

Genuinely glad I'm not the only one who watches the Yogscast lol

I'm a big yogscast fan, loved shadow of israphel, tekkit, voltz, yoglabs and garrys mod too.
Trucking Tuesday was a great series of videos, though I think they've run out of glitchy truck games to play.
I'm currently watching the moonquest series which is pretty awesome, I've only just started to play minecraft on ps3 and I hope for some cool updates, though I appreciate it won't be as moddable as the pc version.

Good god hasnt MC changed. It seems that literally every server is NOT vanilla and the ones that are suck.
All thats left are grief proof, white listed servers that require 30 mins of brain power and tutorials to get started!!
I installed a griefing client before i even opened the game up and ive been hunting down peoples chests and breaking things.

I'm a bit late to the party with this, but I played the demo last night.
It's really difficult to get your head around at first, and I found surviving my first night really really difficult. Especially as the demo world seems so sparse.
I am debating whether it's worth paying the £17 for the proper version of it? I can see the full version being a bit better. I can also see it getting addictive but i'm just not sure?

I remember mocking people who were playing it when it came out on the Xbox...then I tried the demo and was addicted! Its great for just chilling on in creative mode and there is pretty much no limits to what you can build if you have the imagination and patience

Can you speak to players that are around you then? Does it get easier to get your head around the more you play it? i.e I died a load of times, and also had no idea what order to combine things to craft them. IT's actually quite difficult!
Get a wiki open as well to help with crafting when starting out.
Needed even more so when you move to mod servers, where some of the items are crazy and can require machines to get the parts to build them.
Just get a basic shelter built day one to help you survive. And try and find sheep, get the wool to make a bed then you can skip past the night.

Yeah, through text chat. When you get more used to it you can get much more inventive - see the submarine I built in Voltz - and it's definitely much easier.
