It's a map generation bug,placing a block near it should release the water current.
But now, into the piracy discussion: If you want him to have the original copy, buy him one. I know his situation, I've passed the same thing. Also, Notch wishes him to enjoy his cracked copy. https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/104582639947759616
Dude it's not his internet. I swear half the times I try to log into my minecraft.net account it doesn't work.
I have that same problem!
However its only when i use the regular minecraft.
It works fine when i run it from a bat file i made.Also it increases the memory for minecraft

If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens
The piracy question would be much more easily answered if the game would record if one or more login attempts had been made and failed. Then that unlicensed message would only show up if no login attempts had been made, otherwise it would just say offline mode.
This happen's and the "unlicensed" thing pop's up if i am in offline mode.. It is annoying and the water bug.. Just place a block/destroy a block in the water.. That should fix it.. same with floating sand.
You guys who say buy the game screw off he doesnt have to. Also he might be in offline mode, i bet that didnt pop into your little thick skulls...
Lol, i like how everyone is like "HE DOESNT HAVE 2 BUY TEH GAME IF HE DOESNT WANT TO DUUURR"
Yes. To play minecraft legally you have to buy the game. Pirating the game is no longer a viable excuse to try it out because there is an official demo. But yes, he may be playing offline.

whats with you older peeps all over minecraft?i thought this was a game for people around my age
Pretty much this. I don't agree with software piracy for the most part ("the most part" meaning anything where you don't own a legit copy. If you purchased a legit copy and pirate a copy of your legit purchase to get around ridiculous DRM, that doesn't bother me so much). If it doesn't bother Notch though, it's not like anybody else has cause to complain.
Personally, if you ask me (and to be clear, nobody is, but this is the internet so I'm going to tell you anyway), I hate piracy. The way I see it, if you care about the game enough to play it, you can damn well pay for it. That's how the economy works kids. Can't pay for it? well, we can't always get what we want. I can't afford a Ferrari, but I'm not going to go steal one. But if you have the internet and a computer and access to a couple of bucks (seriously guys, this game is cheap as hell), you can buy the game. Eat at home instead of going out. Skip going to a movie. Take a day off buying lattes. It really doesn't take any time at all to scrape that kind of cash together. I could swing that easy when I was running a paper route when I was 10 for crying out loud.
For those of you who say "gee, I don't have a credit card, but I have the money. If only I could get it to Notch... oh well I guess I can't... /pirate" or "I'm much too paranoid to divulge my credit card number to paypal like three quarters of the rest of the planet... oh well /pirate", everybody knows this is a cop out (link). You're just too cheap to pay for what you take.
For those of you who say that pirating isn't wrong, and that nobody loses anything, you're rationalizing. If everyone pirated minecraft, this gem never would have gotten off the ground. More people buying minecraft means that mojang has more resources available to them to improve minecraft and make more games.
While it's true that not every pirated game is a lost sale (though I would argue that most are, especially if the game costs as little as this one does), if you would't have bought it because it's not good enough, what are you doing playing it?
Notch supports people with unlicensed copies. just makes them buy the game in the future for SMP. Probably he's internet. happeend to my mate and myself. even if i have the best internet i can get in Australia OpticFibre.
OT: Yeah, just a chunk not loaded properly:P plus to swear in only happens in tundra and snowie biomes.
I had a long post typed out then it decided to disappear, here is a less well written one:
If someone feels insulted, and they are insulted because of you, then I think you have insulted them.
E.G: "Your hair style sucks", "That picture you just made is stupid", "Your portrait is ugly"
Without all the sudden money that notch got he would of not have continued development for long, and if suddenly millions more players buy the game now they will probably at least consider getting more developers with their money.
If minecraft stops making as much money when updated then they might start to think people are generally getting bored of it and slow down development.
I also never said it was their only motivation, but I bet making money is at least a slight motivation.
Read my previous posts, if someone is pirating when they were going to buy it then it does effect all of us and people have a right to be mad, not that I am saying the OP did. Just because we do not stop someone in a more dangerous situation doesn't mean we do not have the right to here.
I probably would have stopped a while ago if it wasn't for people saying things like "i bet that didnt pop into your little thick skulls..." and "stupidest and most uninformed" before they actually prove anyone wrong. I never accused the OP of pirating in any way.
First off, how is it that me saying that a few stupid and uninformed posts means that I proved someone wrong? Know what an opinion is?
There is a big difference between saying someone's hair is ugly or criticizing someone's creativity, and saying that what someone *said* (or posted) was stupid. You don't have true control over creativity, and sometimes people have bad hair days. I'm not as much as rude as some would make me out to be. But, I do have the right to say that the what you or others said was "stupid and uninformed", because everyone here has *full* control over what they say/post.
And Notch is either into making Minecraft either 100% because he loves what he does, or he is a *huge* liar. He's been programming since a very young age (6 or so I believe). It has always interested him. He has never been in it for the money.
And to clear up my post on piracy, I was focusing on how DRM intices people to pirate. If there were regulations against making everything DRM free, there would be no need to pirate because of it.
Basically my thoughts are this. A company makes a video game. Video games are just strands of programming, but they release it in a physical form. Stealing it is wrong, partly because there were costs incurred with making the packaging and other things, namely. But the game has DRM in it that (opinion time) violate your rights (using rights right now as I'm at a loss for a better word right now) to play the game to its fullest. In some cases, the game can only be played with an internet connection. You bought the game, you should be able to do whatever you want with it (except mainly buying it, creating copys of it, and selling those copies). This includes DRM that prevents you from reinstalling it too many times. You bought the game, you own it, and it's out of their hands. They got the money for it, and should be happy with that. But people would like to place rules and restrictions on how you can use that game. It's not fun, it's not fair, and it only caters to the maker of the game. You break a rule, they possibly sue you, and they can use their massive weatlth to just draw out the case until you are forced into their own terms.
TL;DR: DRM only promotes piracy doesn't prevent it.
that would be a water glitch. It occurs when chunks are first generated.

calm down brohans.. yall are forgetting the point, about the water .He has the right to play offline or even illegaly.. he could just be making sure he likes the game before he goes and pays 20 bucks for it. :dry.gif:
What part doesn't make sense?
By not giving mojang money and making the pirating sites more popular it slows down the the development of the game. (If he has pirated)
If a pirate had not pirated the game then mojang would of got the money that they deserved and should of earned which means the game can develop better, however if a pirate does pirate the game while they can buy it development goes slower than it should do and they are just taking advantage of the fact that we paid so it is still developing at all.
You act like development wasn't slow to begin with!

Imagine if the chinese got bored when they built the great wall of China..
It's just a bug with the world generator, it happens sometimes with sand as well, and it is generated hovering in the air or something.. If you destroy a block under it or apply redstone current to it it will fix itself.
