I bought this a few days ago but I find it really addictive at first. But soon after I find it gets boring.

I bought this a few days ago but I find it really addictive at first. But soon after I find it gets boring.

There is just so much to do... I do agree there is a point where it is very easy. But I like the fact that you make huge structures etc knowing that you started from absoloutely nothing. I wish survival was a little harder and thr AI was smarter. Like, they could also set up a base or somehow make a flint and maybe burn stuff near you. But also, just make more things spawn above ground. Many of the videos on youtube I have been watching (waiting very impatiently for it myself) they have easily got outside, dodged a few monsters, got whatever they needs and got back inside. It's a little too easy.

I had the game on hard (I am just on a out of date version I torrented for now) and I was making a irrigation system underground. I had the waterfall and the start of the system but the ceiling was like, one space from above me and if I hit it in, the water would come in. But if I didn't hit it in, I couldn't fix the issue I was having with water. So I walked out there , dug the lake up a little, one creeper got to me but I dodged it and it actually helped me in a way.

That's probably the only reason it gets boring.

thing notch should add is giant red ants that live in the sand. If you walk over a random block of sand, a few seconds later the block breaks and an ant jumped up.

It's alpha still anyway. There's probably hundreds of new things notch can add plus other people will be able to mod their servers to add their own things. New gamemodes etc will make the game unboring

Deos anyone want to try out the survival mode multiplayer? I've been setting up a temporary home server to test it, will try and forward the ports.

Found my first dungeon! And it was about 7 blocks down from where I've been getting my sand. I didn't realise they could be so close to the surface I just dug the sand up and surrounded it by torches so nothing can spawn and im gonna keep it for entertainment zombie slaying purposes. Didn't really get much from the chest.. Just redstone and 2 pig saddles

Ok, my server is up and i'll leave it online for people to do whatever they like with for the rest of this evening. Landscape and anything layed down should save/backup however it seems your inventory does NOT save when you leave the server.

81.98.22.241:25565 is what you need to type into the ip box in the multiplayer option of the latest paid alpha release. Remember the server will go offline later this evening and is for testing puropses/mucking about on. Will probably save any creations for the next time it's online (consult me for the address since I have a dynamic ip and it will change).
