Let me start by saying I haven't played SMP yet. What I got so far from strolling through the forums is that there are some things that are still broke in SMP. I've been playing MineCraft for a long time now, started playing and I got a few friends and my brother really into it. I had my own server for a while and to get to the point, is it worth getting my brother to play SMP with me. I'm planning on right when I get home to download the new SMP sever and host a private server for only my brother and I. I've read that there is no mobs that spawn and the inventory system is broke. So if it pretty much normal multiplayer/creative game play but it just takes longer to build stuff because you have to do a little bit of crafting? Please let me know how you guys feel and if its any fun :biggrin.gif:
Not broken..Notch just didn't put everything into the game because he was working on squashing multiplayer bugs instead of putting features from single player into multiplayer. But lets see if I can list a few.
Furnaces don't work right now..they use up fuel and resources but you get nothing in return.
Redstone, levers, buttons, switches..etc etc....don't work.
Signs don't show text.
Anything in your inventory is lost once you leave the server.
Anything in a chest is lost when people arn't around it.
There are no mobs.
But as a note..the admin can give players certain items...the players also get 2 commands that work on a shared cooldown.
/wood
/iron
Both of these make 4 items..either 4 saplings or 4 bars of iron. And that..as they say..is that :smile.gif:.

PvP is like sex. When both parties are willing, it can be a very enjoyable experience. However, when one party is not, it is bound to ruin someone's day.
Thanks for the quick replies. I think I might start one up then. So there is no zombies to fight? So this is like barebones SMP Beta? Is the only way to fail is falling from a high space or attacking each other?
Thanks!
Mind you if you want to do anything serious, I really wouldn't recommend it just yet.
