1. Go to this website.
2. Make an account.
3. Click "Buy Now". It costs €14.95 (~21.22 US$)
4. IIRC, you may have to wait about 12 hours or so.
After purchasing it, you can either play it in the browser, or download it. It is currently in Beta 1.7.3, and the price will go up when the full version is released in November.
Cool. $20 is doable. No monthly subscription or anything like that? I'll probably buy it tonight.-

Alright so I think I'll have a little better idea what to do when I log in again this evening. Couple questions/comments/thoughts...
Spawn point seems to be a pit. Is it supposed to be like that? or did it just get blown up by a creeper or something. Its difficult to get out of the pit when I spawn in the dark, and sometimes after I died when I respawned I'd take fall damage? Thought that was weird... I think it won't matter once I build a house and sleep in a bed though right? Then I'll always spawn by my bed? I slept in some beds yesterday but every time I died and spawned I ended up back in the original spawn point pit I think though... Do I have to craft the bed myself for it to count?
OK, so when I leave the pit first place a find is a small room with some water in it, and a bed, and a craft table, furnace, and some storage chests? I think it also has a glass green house with some sugar growing? Just wondering if this was someones house and who it belonged to. Thats the bed I slept in when I spawned the first time.
Next day I wandered around and found the spawn guest house. After I left it I lost it... and I'm not sure how to actually get there from the spawn point After I left I mostly just stayed near the road and found the billboard, wandered around some of the buildings I could see. I didn't know how to find coordinates but I went back to the wiki this morning and figured it out
I think the plan for this evening is I'm going to spawn in, stay around the spawn point trying to gather resources for the basics, then pick a direction and head that way for X days travel until I find a neat place to call home. Oh, and if I'm feeling pretty good with how things are going, I might build a spawn point gazeebo or something nicer to spawn in than a pit, unless you guys have the pit to spawn in for a reason?
Oh last question, how do I change the appearance of my character from the default?-

Hey, I see you found my house. I really should play more often.
Heh cool. I almost got it blown up by a creeper though You've now got a pit in the sand a few blocks outside your door
Well I'm anxious to get home and get playing. I've been thinking about what I want my minecraft home to look like all day and excited to get to work. Gonna be a long process though, I'm sure. I'm shooting for something medeivel castle-ish with a large base, and keep building levels up until I run out of sky. And hopefully a large system of mines and caves and dungeons below. Today though, probably won't get much more done than collecting basic necessities near the spawn, then heading out to find a suitable location, and then most of the work will be the mine system underground in order to gather resources for the major castle-tower construction project.-

Thanks for the creeper tip, I'm gonna remember that one!
Found a nice little place to call home I think. Don't know if anyone's been by there before or not. Built myself a nice little bunker to call home for now and started tunneling down to do some mining to gather resources. Not far from where I decided to settle I found a pit that goes more or less straight down, about 10x10 maybe? Its irregular enough that I don't think it is player created but I'm not entirely sure. I'll explore it tomorrow, er, later today at this point. Turn it into my very own THIS IS SPARTA! pit or something, and connect it to my mine down at the bottom.
I left a sign on the billboard by the spawn point. Right now, all it says is the general direction I was heading. I share my coordinates once I know for sure I'll be staying where I am currently. I'm probably not all that hard to find anyways though.
One thing I was wondering, is the day/night cycle constant to the server or to the players? Can it be daytime for me while its night for someone else? Otherwise, what happens when there are multiple people in the server, and only 1 tries to sleep in a bed when night comes around?-

Alright, so I've been trying to work out what my permanent home is going to look like. Today I decided to go in a single player world on peaceful and hash out a design for my castle. I've had the general idea in my head since I bought the game last week, just needed to work out exactly how it had to be put together. After building, tearing down, and restacking an inventory full of dirt about 3 times, here's a preview of a quarter of the outer structure of my castle - basically, 4 smallish towers at the corners connected by walls. I only built 1 tower and 1 wall for my dirt mockup. The inner structure will then eventually be a castle skyscraper. Thoughts? Suggestions for improvement before I go building for real on the MS server?

ooh good idea. I've got loads of cobble I can make smooth stone out of. Might take some experimenting to come up with something that looks nice. LOL I should just mine forever and build my castle out of gold-

ok read through the whole thread now. I liked looking through all the screen caps I think everyone should post more of them
Where are all the mazes? I wanna go check them out. I thought about making one myself actually after my castle that I still haven't started
Hey quick question - if I craft 9 ingots into a block, and then place the block somewhere, will I get 9 ingots (or the equivalent of) the block back if I use a pick on it, or just 1? Just thinking it'd be cool to have like a storage vault with a pile of gold in it, but I don't want vaporize 8/9ths of my gold in the process...-

First part I know is correct. I wasn't sure about the second part. I wanted to make sure it wasn't like stairs - aka 6 cobblestone blocks make 4 stairs, but if you break the stairs, you only get 1 cobblestone block back. Therefor, building and destroying cobblestone stairs seems to vaporize cobblestone. I didn't want to make a gold block for example out of 9 ingots, build something with it, and then break it later only to find I get 1 ingot or ore back or something like that.-

nice pics I took a few of my own yesterday but didn't have time to post them. Who's building on the cliffside not far from my bunker? Lookin good up there from down in the valley (I didn't climb up to explore). Whoever it is, you should look around that mountain a little bit. I'm hearing zombies talking in the mountaint at 1 particular spot, and there's a couple neat block structures I found, including a small natural cave system with an awesome waterfall coming down out of the ceiling. Only ore in the caves was some coal though.
I was squatting under than unfinished mob tower for a while my first few days, all lit up and safe from the creepy crawlies of the night. Felt like a homeless guy sleeping under a bridge . At some point a skeleton found its way in and killed me a couple times before it got stuc by the mob grinder and I was able to kill it. Thats how I got the bones to tame my wolf on the way to my bunker.
I did some wandering about yesterday. Not sure I'm happy with my current location so I went looking for a different spot to build my castle. I wandered all the way over to (-1500, 1500) which actually isn't too bad a spot, with a nice little lagoon in front, hills in the back, right on the edge of a tundra with sand on the beach. Along the way, I'd keep finding spots where the game would glitch and I could see through the ground to all the laval and cave systems below, until I took a few steps forward. weird. It made searching for a spot kinda difficult because I could see the landscape around me at times.
After all the wandering, I think I might end up building my castle around where I'm at right now afterall . IDK, just don't think I'm ever gonna find the proverbial *perfect spot*, or even if I do no one will ever come visit. And I'd kinda like to eventually be "plugged in" to the spawn area via roads, subway, etc. Where I'm at now, thats doable. I've also got water nearby - don't know if its connected to the same body of water as the spawn lagoon but it would be cool to be able to travel back and forth by boat. Maybe build a marina near spawn? blargh, too much thinking, not enough doing on my part-

oh I know, but I wanted to get a little ways away from the town in a safe place to chop some trees and collect the basic stuff for a bed, crafting table, furnace, tools, etc, so I could safely trek away to find my home. I didn't want to maim the landscape directly by the spawn, so I ended up by the mob tower.-

Cool. There's lots of other stuff around that mountain I'm sure I'll get to eventually.
I broke ground on my castle today. Had to level a pretty good chunk of earth down to sea level. FYI the ocean on 1 side wraps all the way around back to spawn bay so definitely going to be building a boat dock next to my castle. Might build another one at spawn bay eventually. It'll have to go outside the bridge unless someone raises the bridge a block.-

Spoiler: Random Pics of the Day
So I finished up most of the outer structure of Castle Rhinox today. I still need to trade in the wooden doors for iron doors, but I don't have enough iron yet. I also have something neat planned for the 4 towers involving lava. Aside from that, now I need to wait for more inspiration to hit me with ideas for the inner structure.-

Musta been one of the first things you did, I think I took that pic a day or 2 after you got whitelisted.

I will extend the Mafia Scum Rail Service to your castle (eventually). If you could tell me where you would like the station, that would be awesome
Cool! Right now I'm not sure where the station's going to be, but I'll work on figuring it out.
Oh, and I need to thank MME for donating some cobble for my castle. I completely ran out and would still be mining for more had he not given me some, and my castle walls would still be incomplete. So thanks!
PS MME's place is easy to get lost in, especially underground-

I love the maps! The MSTA kinda looks like crop circles
MME that road is great. Can't wait til the bridges are finished. I especially like the part through the tundra where the road goes through a couple tunnles then over a bridge. The halfway house is nice, I took a nap there. Then I followed the road until it ended. Where's the road supposed to end? Are you taking it all the way to UT's place?
Oh claus you know that cave by my castle that you like so much? Well I found another one very similar way at the other end of MME's road. I think its bigger though. I didn't have torches with me so I couldn't figure out how far back it went.
Anyone know how to make a still water moat? I'm gonna put one around my castle (well 2 sides, the other 2 sides are already up against the sea) and I'm not sure how to put the water in without making currents...-

P.S. My castle is going to have the coolest basement ever-

Started building my competition "house". Nobody told me how tall the mob tower was and I couldn't figure out how to get up there so.... if I go over a couple blocks don't hold it against me
P.S. Claus your house is a freaking creeper magnet. Don't worry I didn't break anything this time, but during my walk to spawn from my castle I found a creeper right on the road outside your front door, so I dropped down to the water to come up the water elevator in the back and slept for the night. When I woke up, the creeper was swimming around in the water under your house Made it a little tricky to get out because I didn't feel like chopping your cactus down (I was carrying a full inventory of cobble to work on my competition house). I just really can't get past your house these last couple days without finding creepers.-

god all I wanted to do was find some sheep...
after I failed at that, I just explored some stuff, found my way into the underground of the MSTA building. After getting lost in the caves and and getting the shit scarred out of me by a random skellie wtf??? (Was able to kill it due to it being dumb and shooting the wall instead of moving into the LOS around the corner I was standing behind), I somehow came back up through a hidden entrance into the train station. That was kinda fun.
I think oh cool, I've never ridden a minecart before maybe if I go to a new area I can get some sheep to spawn. So I grab a spare mine cart and head out towards esurio's place. I don't know how far I made it, but the last thing I expected to see down there were 2 creepers right on the tracks and me not knowing how to stop a minecart.......................
So yeah, then I respawned and made it back to get what was left of my stuff. The tracks totally busted but I left a few rails and a booster rail and a torch in the minecart chest and now I'm scarred for life and will probably never ride another minecart again.
All for a few lousy sheep. So yeah, my competition house probably isn't getting finished because After work tomorrow I'm on the road to my hometown and will be away from minecraft for the weekend. Unless I play in the browser at some point but I won't be on again until Late friday night at the earliest, maybe not until saturday night.
Well, can't do worse than 3rd place right now I guess-

Thanks. I might actually try that on my laptop if I ever get it up and running again. Or even my wife's desktop since its not really the greatest for games. But...
I really won't (and shouldn't) be trying to play minecraft regularly at work on my work computer I already went and found and deleted the .minecraft folder. I don't know whats monitored and what isn't as far as computer usage goes but I don't want to push it. I'm already on this site during the day more than I should reasonably be allowed so by now I figure they're probably not monitoring much, but still.. I can hide a web page on my desktop, make it small so people who walk by and glance at the screen don't even notice. Its a lot harder to hide a game...
Just wanted to see if I could get in just for today during lunch and find some sheep or go collect stuff for dyes. I might not get my competition building done in time, but I'm not going to leave whats there sitting unfinished...
P.S. I'm taking donations. I need 4 stacks of lime green wool to finish the outer stucture of the structure I'm building. Any donations of silk, wool, cactus, cactus green, bone, bonemeal, lime green dye, or green wool may placed in the chest in the bottom of the cobble tower at the competition site. I do already have a couple short of a single stack of undyed wool already.
P.S.S. I know I can get plenty of bone from the mob tower assuming the mobs keep spawning and I know there's a desert out on the road past my castle for plenty of cactus (found cactus farm under MSTA, waited for a reasonably long while, got like 4 cactus, gave up...) so I can eventually get both of those to make dye relatively painlessly. Wool has been hard to come by for some reason... The spider trap doesn't give enough silk. Sheep aren't spawning, like, anywhere.-

Hey anyone interested in doing a cooperative / succession type of thing?
Like, someone starts by going out into some random place in the world bringing nothing with them, do stuff for some number of day/night cycles (maybe 6? 2hrs of gameplay if no beds are used, 1 hour if building days only), then place all gathered supplies and equipment into chests, and then the next person takes over for their turn of day/night cycles. We could post screenshots of the progress in this thread, and keep cycling through all of us until people start to get bored with it.
(I got the idea from the Civ 5 succession game in mish mash, thought it would be fun to do with minecraft)-

So I've been reading about strongholds. Apparently the pre-release 1.8 has only 1 spawned stronghold per world (which is being upped to 3 for the actual 1.8). Also, apparently they're like dungeons in that the seed determines where they spawn and is the same for every new world created with the same seed. They also are nearish the spawn point (as in ~500 blocks away). So what I'm thinking is, if the stronghold is supposed to spawn in a chunk that we've already explored on the server world, we might not get a stronghold
(Strongholds being different from NPC villages, dungeons, and mineshafts - basically they are a super dungeon and apparently going to be an (the?) objective once minecraft becomes more game-like)
Just wondering if this has any bearing on whether we need to start a new server world from scratch for 1.8...-

Yeah thats pretty much the feel of it.
Eventually I've found swamps, forest, and deserts. No mountains yet. I did find 1 NPC village. I abandoned the the first world I created after falling down a dark hole and not being able to get out and no torches or tools anyways. Started a new creative world with a new seed, same thing, spawned on an island in the middle of the ocean. Eventually found some land but idk they don't seem like big land masses. Like, they're kinda skinny land masses that keep going but there is the large ocean on either side. Too small to give a continental feeling. I'm expecting to find a land mass as big as the oceans I'm crossing. By the way those oceans are deep and kinda creepy if you sink down in them.-

The first one was deleted but I think I used as a seed: 1.8 Trial
Second one I can get you for sure from the F3 screen when I get home but I'm pretty sure it was: Trees Please
But yeah I can get you the number seed from the F3 screen for sure later.
Oh by the way in case everyone hasn't noticed yet they released a v2 to the pre-release, supposed to have fixed a bunch of the bugs so far like the memory leak and the furnace thing. Here's the link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/220- ... available/-

yay
P.S. I tried the seed: mountainclimber last night, hoping to get some mountains
Well, I didn't get any mountains right away, but at least I spawned on land. What was cool is I kinda spawned at a triple point - a point where 3 biomes came together, there was desert, normal forest, and pine forest biomes. Then I walked maybe 100 blocks or so and came upon a swamp, and a river. A little farther I found some plains with a prefab village - a rather nice one actually. Then FINALLY on the other side of the plains I came upon my mountain range. Just thought it was kinda cool with biomes aparently so big now, I found a seed that spawned me basically on the edge of every biome in the game. Haven't even gone 500 blocks from the spawn yet.
Also I've notived that friendly mobs are very abundant, but rumor has it they spawn once per chunk, don't despawn, and don't respawn after you kill them. In other words, we should be careful with the cows and pigs and sheeps after the server updates. The chickens can be renewable it you corral them up and collect eggs to through when you want more chickens, but all the others go extinct in your area if you kill them all... Which means after the server updates, we're probably not going to have any mobs in chunks that are already generated.
One last thing - I've read its possible to delete old chunks in established worlds so that they can be regenerated with 1.8 code - possibly we can delete all chunks that haven't been developed in so that we won't have to go as far to find the 1.8 good stuff? yeah yeah I know we can get there with the nether or whatever, but if thats the answer might as well start a new world anyways since I'll probably end up abandoning my castle-in-progress in order to go live in 1.8 areas.-

some nether portals may need to be relit. I read something about it somewhere, but can't re-find what I read >.>
Chrono, basically when you go through a portal, it looks for the closest active portal within 1024 blocks in the overworld. Sounds like when you left your place, the central point was the closest active portal in the nether (I don't think you're more than 1024 blocks away from spawn). When you went back through the central point portal, the spawn portal was the closest active portal in the overworld. Portals don't create direct links to other portals. Basically just go back into the nether, walk over to where your portal is, and relight it to make it work again.
If /home was part of bukkit, it won't work until bukkit 1.8 is out I think.-
