There's different climate biomes, but other than that I think it's just a random seed.

Notch could be considered the god (albeit not an omnipresent one).

I would not have mentioned the inventory hack, I have one and I think it's spoiled the game a bit (for me)

spend hours looking for sulphur etc, or just hack a big stack of tnt

did have a bit of fun blowing away a whole mountain though 256xtnt makes a BIG hole!

Well it only spoils it if you use it. (Like any cheat, really).

 

I'm aware of it, but wont use them (or any of the other editors).

 


Of course, if there were limited resources and I ran out in the middle of something awesome, I might consider using one, but since that shouldn't happen.

Why, do the paintings in the NPG look like they've been modelled with lego?

Can you just play as Pamela Anderson and take your chest with you?

Shut /up/ Nigel. Go appreciate some David Hockney or something.

I do /not/ appreciate David Hockney, Michael. Don't you have anything less weird to marvel at?

Should've done that a few weeks ago. It was cheaper and you'd have got the post update releases free.

No, I shouldn't. And I shouldn't have bought it today, either. How did it get to 8pm?!

Go look at some Stanhope Forbes and some Ingres.

 

Repeat until you're normal.

If you punch a chest a few times, it'll become a carryable item, but it also loses its contents at the same time, so you need to carry those separately.

You can also edit your skin, to (possibly) give the illusion of looking like, well, anyone you like, I guess (if you squint and have a good imagination), but you can't change the character's shape.

There's no tumbleweed in the game, but it might be a cool addition in desert or wasteland biomes - would allow for building walls that look like they've got barbed wire along the top.

I haven't played in ages, but I have a feeling I'd end up going around irl thinking "hm, how much iron do I need to move this Tube line through my flat?" :C

Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to have a "Teh Mine" Minecraft server with authentication tied into the forum.

Someone find out if you can mod the authentication method in Minecraft to use our own. Quick. Go. Now.

See http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Server.properties

Looks like there is an online-mode setting that controls regular auth checking.

So, with that turned off, it's just a case of setting up an authenticating proxy server in front of the Minecraft server which does the login checks (against Teh), and it's as simple as that?
