Tempted to get a new laptop this year but current spec is...

 

Intel Core Duo T2400 (1.83GHz)
2GBtbh
Intel i945GM

 

Kinda netbooky I guess by todays standards.

Try the free online Classic version - it doesn't have mobs, but will at least tell you if you've got any chance of it running.

I built over half my cathedral with proper mined materials, but I had to cheat for all the torches, then I didn't stop...

I saw that :'D

I'm gonna set a warp point at the top of that. I'll do that now actually. Ok, done.

Use /listwarps to see the possible warp locations.

What's warp point?

If it is incorrectly used to identify a teleportation target I will be mildly distressed. :[

I do not see such an identification as incorrect, why is it that you do, Peter?

Calm down, Sheldon.

Ooh ooh ooh... But how about the whole /kit thing so that we can at least have diamond tools and not have to faff so much with stone ones?

I dunno, people with stuff helping out new people is part of the fun I think...?

Yeah, but have the /kit command so that it only gives you a diamond pickaxe and a diamond spade. The rest you have to work for.

How do the kits work? I was thinking of having a chest at the Spawn point filled with diamond tools,

A few screenshots to entice people into playing after seeing the awesome shit we made:

Kev's Domo Playhouse
The communal house/depot
Jake's Bauhaus House of Lights
Jon's crazily massive Cathedral (work in progress)
Patch's Tower of Water and Lava Which Looks a Bit Like an Octopus
A very strange tower thing by, I think, Patch
Kos' thing-from-tron-he-told-me-the-name-of-but-I-forgot
My house-tree-house-tree-house

As someone opposed to cheating, I would not want an auto diamond pickaxe.

However, starting with a stone set of tools (either auto or via a stocked chest) would be acceptable, because the wooden stuff is a pointless waste of time.

Also acceptable, hiding diamond tools in hard to discover places - maybe even leaving obscure clues around the place so it's a treasure hunt.
(So long as the clues are challenging and you can't accidentally stumble upon one of the hiding places.)

If there's a way to create redstone combination locks?

:D

 

I've been really impressed by what people have done so far, and no offence to anyone else at all, but Kev's Dumo thing is just jaw dropping. I LLLLLLL'd all the way up to the top and then all the way down to the bottom :'D

You could always drop them if they're auto. Or not pick them up if theyr'e in a chest. Or not play on the server and stick to single player.

Aye, it really is amazing innit :D

I felt bad when I stood on the flowers :(

 

If anyone fancies a beach holiday there's a warp point called sandcastle :C

People with stuff helping out new people is part of the fun. :@

(Especially if it includes running around pretending to be Anneka Rice.)

And back when tools would fix themselves if you dropped them, that was fine. But now it takes so much effort to get enough diamonds for a pickaxe that most people will hoard them. Whereas, the stuff that I mine (with diamond tools because it's quicker) that I've no use for, I'm happy to give away.
