Well Minecraft water is virtually indestructable, it can only be destroyed using lava or by placing blocks on it.

Just kill it, quickly. If you leave it, one of these days you're going to walk into your house and it will fall and blow up you and your house.

Full. Everything the other versions had and more.

This coming from an Alpha player.

I mined at just barely below the surface level. I called iron "silver" and actually managed to collect quite a bit of "silver", but the tools I made with the stuff broke really quickly.

Ironically, back in the day the gold hoe had equal or better durability compared to diamond. Many people called it a Harvest Moon reference.

I've seen something similar before, where when it's lagging smooth stone can look like iron for some reason.

Sid Meier's Civilization is one of my favourite game series ever. How many of you guys have played a civ game before?

For those who don't know, Civilization is about basically building up a civilization from the dawn of man to the future, working with and against other civilizations along the way to achieve victory in one of many ways.

Plains. It's easy to clear land to build on, there are no trees to conceal enemies at night and the area is extremely flat.

As for getting a supply of wood, it's incredibly easy to set up a tree farm.

I was low on food and I encountered an NPC village, so I stole all the wheat and murdered several villagers. I realized I had made a terrible mistake though, as the town was about a 3 minute walk from my main city and when villages actually have a purpose, that village was likely going to be important. So I built a road to the village and a bridge, now I'm going to build an inn inside the town.

Moral of the story is don't kill the poor guys, they might actually be important some day.

Build an arena around it and challenge the infinitely spawning enemies for fun.

A brick because I'm solid and good looking :tongue.gif:

It's not updates that's killing it; it's our own skill level and the fact that we've pretty much killed the learning curve. I'll admit I felt it too, that the game is becoming less fun at some points, but I recognize that the reason for this feeling is because I, like a lot of veteran players have played the game to death and learned everything there is to know, from how to make an ideal mob farm to which layer to mine for diamonds. You can't blame updates for killing the spark, we kill the spark ourselves.

I find that rarther hard to believe.

Would you believe 1 diamond ore?

I built a power station in my village and I have all of my redstone torches in there. Basically, despite the obvious inefficiency of it, all of my redstone power comes from a single building. Why? Because it's fun, duh. It also allows me to universally control redstone circuits, so it does somewhat have a practical purpose.

I had read about "redstone" before on the wiki at the time, but not really that much (I had just seen the page name for it on the wiki, so really all I knew was the name and appearance). When I encountered it, I was like "oh, it's some of that redstone stuff or whatever" and I kept it, with no idea how to use it.
