Self control, Mr D. It's the answer.

Obsidian tools maybe?

Right. I can either keep XP on that laptop, or maybe install something else to try to run a Minecraft dedicated server, depending on performance.. what d'you reckon? The XP install is very slow :C

Obsidian is sharp but fragile (IRL).

Thought about that, it's just too common though. Hard to mine, yeah, but common. Needs to be something about 1/20th as common as diamond and as hard to mine as obsidian.

I've also thought... any game gets boring after a while, you've got to the point where you'e secure, you have a nice base and enough armour/weapons/food to take care of pretty much anything and you've explored as far as you reasonably can and all that kinda thing. Would be nice if there were something like random artefacts in the game. Super rare objects which, while you carry them do stuff like... boost running speed or allow you to teleport home once a day or have more health or be immune to falling or ... y'know, powerup kinda things. A bit like artefacts in STALKER. Maybe even a similar system where you have 2 or 3 artefact slots so you're forced to choose (would be best if there's looottts of permutations). So it's more about tailoring your character to how you play than powering up so the game becomes too easy. I guess each artefact could have a downside too like immune to fire/lava but can't wear armour or something like that.

Might also be cool if they were permanent, i.e. carried across between worlds and between single and multiplayer. Trading them in MP would be fun. Or killing someone and stealing, even.

I really want to do something with musical blocks. Maybe a feather harvesting machine of some sort.

And saying that reminded me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsRg5N544f0

Pisses me up every time.

There seems to be some bugs with the server, it keep smaking things dissapear :S

Hmm, is it the latest server?

Could just be lag though. Latency seems to be /realllly/ important.

Oh wait - are you doing stuff near the spawn? You can't build stuff near the spawn in MP.
From: patch21 Jan 2011 14:00

I DIDN'T DO THAT AT ALL. I did really.

Are you trying to build near the spawn point? Because that area's normally protected.
