Minecraft is interesting. Dan mentioned a few times that he has a Minecraft server and when I saw the headlines today that it has sold over 1 million copies I had to have a look.
How’d I do? Well, thanks to the tutorial below I managed to survive my first day. I built a craft table, shovel, torches, stone pick and barricaded myself inside a cave while the zombies roamed outside.
Now to figure out what to do next!
Edit: if you can’t get Minecraft to run on your Mac, try the following after unzipping it in Downloads:
chmod +x ~/Downloads/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub
The site where I found that useful nugget of info is gone now so posting it here as a reminder!

Our daughter Sarah LOVES this game. Yeah, the 20 year old art student.

Haha, cool. I’m sure I’ll be blogging about it from time to time, and I’ll probably mention it in the next podcast so I’ll give you a heads up if I do!

OH! You HAVE to see what cowonhill does with his Minecraft world. Granted, he was playing on peaceful mode and did eventually start using an inventory editor, but not at first.
