Damn skeletons! They rape. I lost all my best gear on my last expedition into the deep ;__;
After venturing back down to see if I could recover any of my equipment, I very narrowly escaped being killed again, only to find that on my way back up, a creeper had sabotaged a section of my stair well! These mobs are evil!
This kind of stuff is what makes this game so great!

Yesterday is was digging around in my tunnel system and one of those skeletons dropped out of nowhere and scared the living daylights out of me!
And sometimes just the sound that most of the mobs make is enough to get scared :D

I also managed to kill myself by mining an iron block above my head and having 20 blocks of sand land on my head

It's both cool and awful tbh. Several times i've started building stuff at some place, gotten raped and when i respawn i can't find the place where i was doing stuff before i died :P

Minecraft Alpha Server 0.1.0
http://notch.tumblr.com/post/902190310/minecraft-a...

Info and server files link. I just tested it with firewire and it worked pretty smoothly. Lots of stuff is still missing from the MP... like smelting, enemies etc.

I have one screenshot but I'll post that later.

Yeah it was pretty stable! I really can see this becoming amazing if Notch manages to get everything running smoothly online!

Absolutely! This game is part horror survival! I get so jumpy when I'm underground.

No Friday update today:

There won’t be a Friday update today, because I bit off more than I could chew.

I think I got started with the coding too late in the day. It’s 5 pm now, and I have nothing at all implemented. My first attempt was to do biomes, but that ended up being very slow and very bad (sudden wall of snow for no reason!).
Then I tried doing monster villages, which turned out to be much more complex than I thought. Like seriously a lot more complicated..

Bleh!

The base code I wrote for biomes is definitely usable, but I need to speed it up (easily done), and make it much more intuitive to the player what the current temperature is or so. I could either do a simple postprocessing effect where cold areas have a cool tint (blue), and hot areas have a warm (red) tint, or play around with fog density and color. Or possibly particle effects..

For villages, I need to come up with something clever. It would be great to have small huts with roads and so, but doing that procedurally in streaming terrain is far from trivial, heh.

I'm not too bothered anyway. Biomes and Monster villages sound awesome!
Let's hope he gets the Survival Multiplay up soon, I would love to join up and defend against a tide of monsters

Minecraft got way too popular for this humble server. I've had to disable everything fancy to even get it to run. It went down on Saturday, September 18.
It will probably go back to normal on Monday, September 20.

If your launcher is giving you download errors, please update the launcher by downloading the latest version from this page.

The following things do not work at the moment:

* Registering an account
* Purchasing the game
* User verification for online servers
* Sounds and music for new players

The following does work:

* Actually playing the game
* Player skins

Until this all gets sorted out, I'm officially calling a "free-to-play weekend", or however long this will take to fix. You will need to have a paid account to play it later on when this gets fixed though.
If you want to keep track of the latest developments, please follow my blog. I also post stuff on my twitter, but there's a lot of nonsense there as well.

When it asks for log in information just pressing the enter seems to work. Check it out while you can.

I tried this over the "free weekend," and I have to admit, I don't really get it. I thought it was sorta boring, and frustrating. I like the concept, but losing all of your shit when you die is horribly frustrating for a "game" that's all about fucking around and building stuff. It reminds me of Garry's Mod or Forge, only less fun and more frustrating. Oh, and digging... it's not fun... at all. Maybe I need to give it another chance. I'm not writing it off completely yet, but I am sorta shocked that it's found so much success/mass appeal.

More power to it though, I'm always glad when indie stuff takes off. I just didn't really enjoy it much.
