yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


It's fun. Only when I cheat though.

If you're going to bother playing fair on a server creating fortresses and such on a server that's probably going to die in 2 months...

..then don't bother.

It IS fun though, I'm not going to lie.

It's fun if you're on a proper server, haven't found any since my other communities shut down though.

No server is a proper server really.

Whitelisting is a pain in the ass, and isn't fun when you can only build on a small-ass specific plot.

There is no way that you can block xray. Even anti-xray server mods don't even work.

Problem here...

wait for ittt.......

Nothing wrong with liking it, just keep in mind it will be as fun as long as you're willing to make your own fun, because Minecraft as a game without your imagination is a terrible game lol.

1.9 is meant to be mad buggy.

We are playing it on a multiplayer server.

FYI Alex they have reverted it to a backup probably 2-3 hours before the major crash, so 99% of your stuff is intact, not sure about the sheep.

Let me know if anyone else wants the server details, it's grief free and apart from recent instability, a pretty good server overall.

"grief free" sounds boring, where's the water flowing into another's creation while he's not there???

Hey if they don't get "protection" (a pluggin to stop people changing blocks in an admin set area) then they are fair game to the TNT cannon

Build a mine and use levers in a secret area to make it cave in.

No I hope you like playing 20 dollars for a java game.

Should be allowed to post this right?
Also, yeah it's a Java game but imo it's worth the 20 dollars when you consider how many shit games are out there that cost more.

It's a fun timekiller :lol:

Yeah sure, Notch is lazy/an idiot/stole from infirminer anyway.

wasn't infiniminer made by notch too?

PostPosted: Mon Oct 03, 11 6:33 pm

No he made his own game, Minecraft, which ripped off Infiniminer. He had nothing to do with Infiniminer's development.

I got it for 10 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


I got my money's worth so far.. still play now and then.

Yes, it was probs worth 10 dollars when it was.

I agree though.. $20 is a bad price for a poorly optimized, incomplete java game that runs on one thread.

I'd still recommend purchasing the game. It can be very fun(ny), but wait until you have spare cash laying around somewhere.

As long as you play the game a lot, and enjoy it.. Then you've gotten your money's worth. :P

Still not really a good excuse, anyone can have fun with a game. What if they don't?, like the millions who have bought Minecraft and gave up on it... a bit of money wasted.

Well, that depends on if they got their money's worth before giving up on it.


I stopped playing because the security is shit. I would make some giant underground city, and people would use x-ray, tunnel through to my city, then would steal things, and destroy my hours of work. I know I'm being a hypocrite, because I used x-ray in the past. However, I did not steal, or destroy other things people have made out of sheer respect and moral. I simply used it to stockpile diamonds.


The game is NOT very fun when you have to get on a white list, and protect EVERYTHING you make. Even then, it still isn't foolproof.

I once had protected land with a huge tower, etc. Then some guys made a TNT cannon and launched it over on my building destroying it. Being that it was a non-possessive object action... it worked. Where as some protection only really counts player action in co-ordination with your objects and the protection used on it.

THE ONLY WAY IT IS FUN IS IF IT IS A PRIVATE SERVER, AND IF YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FRIENDS/PEOPLE THAT HAD TO APPLY TO GET IN THE SERVER, AND ARE NOT SHITHEADS
