The next epoch is upon us! The skies are trembling, pigs are growing wings, and the nether is turning awfully cold, as Minecraft slowly crawls out of Alpha..
Minecraft will reach Beta status on December 20th, 2010.

Game is very addictive. Im trying to build a Nintendo Gamecube or Nintendo Wii out of snow blocks. Not sure what blocks i could use for the Gamecube, since there is no purple colored blocks :(

I played the java version in my browser and almost threw up it was so fucking boring.

Maybe the black or platinum ones would be easier?

Same, I don't understand the appeal whatsoever. It looks like shit and there's not much to do.

I love Minecraft. It is just a different way of being creative.

You are now curious.

Nope, still think its a waste of time. If even a fraction of the time spent on Minecraft was spent making a material, model, etc for this mod, we would have finished 4.5 years ago. Instead its spent wasting away on some virtual world stacking bricks and jerking off....
Just my opinion.

I'm going to agree with KM and SSL, here. I really don't see what compels people to spend hours of their life in this game. It reminds me of that horrid farmville that everyone is obsessed with on Facebook.

(Disclaimer that I was referring to the link and not the game)
It looks interesting and the concept is interesting but not quite enough to keep me interested. (Or interest me into trying it out..)

I think Minecraft is one of those things you either like or you hate. I can fully understand anyone who would dislike it and why.
Minecraft Classic is just a small taster, it doesn't do the full game justice at all to be honest. For me survival mode is the highlight so far, exploring a vast and endless world, at your own peril, that is all for you.
Really I think it has a lot to do with what attitude you go into the game with, a lot of people hear about it and hear that it's popular and expect something exciting. It isn't exciting and it isn't gratifying, there's no goal and no scoring (yet). So they find it boring, and it will be boring if you're not in the right mood or if you're expecting to have an exciting experience. Totally understandable, I get bored of it often. In fact it's one of the few games I play on a casual basis.
But it's a marvellous timewaster, an endless and quite adorable world generated on the fly, sometimes it can be just the thing if you stick on some relaxing music and just do your own thing in it. - Providing you have time to waste.

I guess that might be it. Every waking second of my day is devoted to doing SOMETHING. Work, Programming, Thinking, whatever. I just don't have any time to "waste" anymore :-/ (note my activity % below)
