for everyone wandering how to get iron and gold and stuff, look around for "mountains", like big areas of rock, sometimes they will have a staircase. bring a lantern, it will be extremely dark. down there is iron.
gah! needs saving. I hate the energy bar as well, It takes a whole half of the bar to eat an apple(the only way to heal). Its good for 48 hours and i hope to see it continued. This could be like the free version of Minecraft for people who cant buy the full game lol
For the people who are wondering,with cloth you can't do anything at the moment.Probably if the game is updated it's going to be made into armor(iron,gold also probably).Also,to find gem stones,go deeper in the *dungeons*(the dark places with the staircase leading to them) I found 10 gems there but you are gona need gold pick to mine em fast.I tried with iron,mined 1 gem 10 minutes...
Some tips for people who want to play. WARNING: WALL OF TEXT APPROACHING. SHIELD YOUR EYES!
1. Find an area and stick with it. When on the surface, make a monster free zone so you can work in comfort. Particuarlly, make it around a staircase to the cave. When you're underground, don't rush... EVER! (Unless you have a plan.) I died 3 times because I ran out and got crowded by mobs.
2. The shovel is your friend. Aside from all of the sand I collected, the shovel is your friend simply because it can make a mob free zone. Something I did during my last playthrough really helped. To avoid any surprises in the dungeon, I dug out all of the dirt around the stairs. Then, I often dug out a path to where ever I went. (I dug a path between my staircases. I made a path to the cloud stairs, and dug out an area around my farm.) I even did this on the lower floors too. By the time I finished the game, I had about 500 blocks of dirt. This helped more on the lower floors, which held water and even later, lava. (Most of my paths were 2 block wide.)
This also is a good way to survive when you've ran out ahead. And, it helps as a landmark.
3. Prioritize light over defence. In many videos of this game, when people get cornered in the underground, they often carry a lantern, but they stick with flailing their sword in the dark. Predictibly, they died shortly. If you ever run ahead (which I did whenever I got tired of looking for stairs the slow way...) and you feel the need to stop, place your lantern down FIRST. If you have a few moments of silence, feel free to dig up the dirt around you. (I really do love the shovel...)
4. Lanterns galore! I had made about 20-30 lanterns when I had finished. If any of you had played Terraria, you should know how utterly important light is. You can't fight in the dark very well.
5. Pow gloves are for carrying your items... I feel that this is an important thing to know.
6. Cloth is worthless. Weird...
7. Clouds are worthless too? And what about those white crystals? Maybe Notch was going to add another floor and weapon tier....
8. Expect chaos on the clouds. When I got to the clouds, I had placed a bunch of ovens and furnaces up there to try and keep the mobs out. (About 15, and I still had over 999 stone.) Granted... I don't think it worked super well but... I did see fewer mobs after. (Of course... I was also lucky to have a 2nd cloud staircase in sight of my first one, so zombies also could not shotgun me at the same staircase.)
9. Heal during the silent bits. I had about 35 bread when I made it to the cloud. I used about 10 of them when I killed the wizard. Anyway, about bread, I find that it is a pretty helpful item, since you can grow wheat underground. (Granted, since patches of wheat don't always guarantee a seed drop, you might run out of seeds to grow more with...) But, it still can be planted deep down there. So it helps.
10. Take your time... I had played for 3 hours and 4 minutes on my last run through, but total, I probrably topped off on 7 hours.

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.
You know what would be awesome? that notch puts computers in minecraft and when you use it, you can play minicraft.
in another words; MINECEPTION we need to dig deeper....

Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Ok i had a "nice" house in some rock, with a few lanterns, a chest, a workbench, an anvil, a farm, and a baker. Decided to look around my cave. Found stairs leading down, again. Died quite easily.
Could not find gold or gems.
Gave up after first death XD

I may seem intelligent, but i assure you; it is all an illusion weaved by the stupidity of people who have no idea what they are talking about.
Made tools, found the staircase leading to the wizard (but couldn't go up them yet), found iron, found gold, made a house of trees, didn't even tried to farm. But then I couldn't find the staircase leading to the gem level, and didn't feel like making more torches, so I gave up. All in one life btw, didn't die once :biggrin.gif:. Ended up watching a video of someone defeating the Air Wizard for me.
YAY FOR LAZINESS!

There isn't such a thing as "yet", this is a finished game for a contest, it won't be modified anymore. Cloth is just useless.
Could not find gold or gems.

it's possible.
There's a few mods out there already and Notch might work on it more himself.
YAY FOR LAZINESS!
