Hey, have you heard of this thing called Google?

It's not as good as AltaVista, but it's faster and searches more pages, and alot of people really like it. I think it might turn out to be really big.

For most people, even really funny things become tedious and boring when repeated at the slightest opportunity. :P

Thanks - the floors are just experiments with light - there's no danger, other than getting lost when it gets absolutely pitch black.
The only danger is getting caught by the lava at the top, but I'm not cruel enough to make it a genuine death-trap (which would be easy to do, extend the timer by a short amount, and make the wooden door an iron one).
If you want though, pretend the door is an iron one, press the button, and don't move - you'll get the same effect!

Haha, the lava did almost get me in that top room. Gave me a fright anyway :D

Loved the glowstone room. Whole thing has a really nice feel to it. Cleverly made.

1.8 Beta preview with commentary by Notch! I'm digging the creative mode and the ability to have it turned on per-user in multiplayer :D

Creative mode looks a lot like the free web-based version that I played and thought "What's all the fuss about?". I think that removes most of the fun of building stuff, it's pretty much one step away from a level editor.

 

The terrain looks really good though, rivers and ravines and stuff. I hope there's a way of making new areas on current servers generate like that. I quite like the idea of NPC villages and strongholds in solo/group survival but wouldn't really want them on a creative server like Teh.

My thoughts with creative mode was that people that want to just build things without the chore of collecting / building items, i.e. me, could be put into creative mode and everyone else can grind for what they need.

And from what I understand, we would have to generate a new map to use all the new geological goodies and such like :(

My hope, and I think some other people's hope too, is that Ant will find a map editor and trim off the explored-but-unused areas of the map when the next update hits, so that we don't have huge treks to see the new stuff.

Certainly a possibility if the new stuff will be generated in new areas.

I think creative mode will spoil it for the people using it (although I can see it being useful for admins).
My tower wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying if I hadn't mined and smelted the cobblestone.
Admittedly I nickel some from Jon, but over 90% was self- obtained.

Yeah, full creative mode in multiplayer would be rubbish (and I certainly won't be enabling it). We have the choice to do it now and we did have unlimited whatever on the old server.

We now have a small but long underground system. Currently running..

Scribble it onto the minelines and I'll draw it up.

Here you go (in pink).

Might be worth checking what other lines have been built above ground since too.

Anyone want to add?
