I started playing the game way back in early Alpha, and instantly hooked. i spent about 8 hours a day playing and enjoying myself. As any noob i played on peaceful and at first didn't know how to find stone. After a few looks up on minecraftwiki i memorized the crafting grid and started carving out my hill into a house. It was the greatest thing even today i have built, even though most blocks i didnt meen to take out were replaced with dirt and my gigantic house had little purpose and was covered with useless paintings. after about a week of playing i had my house with a beautiful view of an ocean with a single mountain in the view of my backyard. after i got my thirst for diamonds i remembered about derability and i didnt want to have to go down scared to find more.
So as any good cheater i looked up Glitches in minecraft (not knowing mods at the time) and found the current dupe glitch.
Within my second week of playing i had a raised spawnoint with a rail all the way to my house witch was now complety stone and stretched across the screen. it had it own pool and a bunker for tnt ect. Now in the back of the house was a mountain and in between the two was a flat plain and i started using boosters to make a rollercoaster.
Thinking that was all that there was to build in Minecraft...
i went to a friends house and i showed him the game and stumbled across the mod section on the wiki. was amazed by some of the things that u cood do. EXCEPT i didnt know that i had to delete the mojang files first. so i got home and got the coolest ones i ccould find and i got that damn black screen error...
Now not knowing that save files could b put in another folder and kept while updating and repairing the game...
... I LOST THE SAVE!...
it is still today the greatest thing i had in minecraft...
even though that its not the most spectaculer thing ive made up til today there isnt a thing i woodnt give to have that world back.
now my charecter wood be a man drunk with power as i dont play for survival anymore.. i play for build... big build...
one day i finaly found a save that i wanted to reset all and all and b vanilla again. it was the seed of 'CHUCK NORRIS'. u started a cave in a wall near a waterfall and after a few hours of playing i resorted to the all mighty 'SINGLE PLAYER COMANDLINE' mod...
PRESENT DAY
now 6 months later i havnt touched the ground flying 4 times my regular speed and its always bright out and infinite supple of blocks..
allthough i know have 6 cities 3 ports and an full scale replica of my hometown of granite falls WA there is no achievement that could fill the empty void that vannilacraft made in me.
take my advise .. DONT goto the released mod section in this forum dont use invedit dont use a crafting guide play the way it was ment to be played...
You're like me, can't go back to vanilla, but my case is worse, I usually re-install the mods after like 10 seconds, without the mods, I delete my maps...
SMP, find a good server that doesn't allow you to do that stuff. Stick with it long enough to build something you're proud of and it can help with your mod addiction.

Do you have a lovely bunch of coconuts? Do you have them all standing in a row? Are there big ones, small ones, some as big as your head?
I have my legit world, and I have a world where I use spc to test things out before building them in my legit world (hate wasting my legit stuff if i mess up!).
Never a once have I ever been tempted to ever use a single command from spc in my legit world. It would taint it, even if I just used fly once it would ruin the world for me.
Also, every good modder tells you to back up your Minecraft folder before you do anything. If you lost your stuff it's your own fault. The failure to exercise self restraint when using inventory-editing and superpower-giving mods is also your fault. I have MCEdit, INVedit, and even Pickaclient, and I don't use them. The responsibility is in YOUR hands. Downloading something doesn't mean you have to use it.
I feel your pain. I have only been playing this game for about a month or so, but it didn't take long for me to discover Mod's. All was good until I was playing one night and heard a rumble in the back ground - i thought to myself it would be a good idea to log off seems like a storm is coming. Blam! Lightning right outside my window, power shut off and saved world got corrupted. I was able to recover the world in the long run, but learned to back up maps every night from then on.
As far as mod's ruining the game, just don't see that statement being completely true. It changes the game I'll give you that, but it doesn't necessarily ruin the game play. I tend to steer clear of single player commands and map editing tools as those things ruined another game I was playing before Minecraft, but some of these mod's being released are shear genius in my opinion and only add to the experience.

Thanks! Trying Herocraft, even though it has mods, it doesn't have spawning, or fly, which is what I do!
Well like some people said READ THE ****IN INSTRUCTIONS my brother is like you, he introduced me to mods but unlike him i took my time to read the instructions on how to install and that you need to backup you saves before installing mods he was like O_o When his saves got corrupted and i was like :laugh.gif: laughing at him.

Always back up your saves folder
DEAL WITH IT.
DEAL WITH IT.
Everytime i log on, i expect to see my warn status go up.
Never a once have I ever been tempted to ever use a single command from spc in my legit world. It would taint it, even if I just used fly once it would ruin the world for me.
Its all a matter of self control.
Also above post is a good idea
Not true.
The following is true, the former is false.
