I've heard of this too! heres the dwarf wiki on it: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Computing reading JUST that wiki page, i think that it might be possible to build, in minecraft, a sytem of fluid logic gates. I'm refering specifically to the fluid logic section of the wiki, located here: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Computing the only problem i see with this is the fact that water in minecraft isn't infinate, and can only flow for a certain distance before it stops. Also, does anyone know if water presses down on pressure plates? i'm not sure, but i think it does. If water doesn't work, it might be possible to do this using pigs or something, although it might take a looong time for the pig to move through the computer. Unless you could find a way to make the process vertical.... Jeez now im all excited about this. any logicians or mathmeticians or programmers here that can help me out with this? EDIT: LOL i did not watch that video. holy crap thats awesome. | ||

Agreed, I'd definitely play on it. Though I have to tell you now that my building skills are terrible; still, I'd be more than willing to mine/contribute for the greater good (meaning I would mine tons of resources and contribute them if we had a big TL project going.) | ||

What I do is get a lot of wood during the day and build a house, or even just a small shelter, with your crafting stuff near a cave. Also, try to find some coal on the first day. Then just make a bunch of torches with the coal and once it's night, you can go and mine in the caverns with your torches. Oh, and bring a sword  | ||

The Minecraft Wiki has pretty much all the information you'd ever need. + Show Spoiler [Blocks] + ![[image loading]](http://minecraftwiki.net/images/thumb/3/32/Template1.png/496px-Template1.png) Crafting recipies To mine coal you need a pickaxe.

Minecraft is a java application. the executable you download only updates the jars and then runs them in the normal java vm. check your appdata folder for a folder called ".minecraft", you should be able to find the jars in there after you run the updater. So just update, quit the game, launch the jar manually with a smaller heap. By default, the game is started with 1gb of heap i think, which may kill some machines. Just try running it with less and see if it works. might get pretty choppy if its too low, so just experiment around a bit. The only thing you have to figure out first is what parameters to use to boot up the game in your java vm, like mainclass, classpath, librarypath. Don't know about that, but maybe you can find something on google somewhere. | ||

I maintain that I will all start up the server again once SMP is closer to being fully featured. I'm also interested in having a legit-only, with all blocks being obtained by hand. However, if someone gets a server up and running beforehand that would be great! Feel free to PM me if you want info on running a minecraft server. I have a few weeks experience doing it. | ||

I mean the only real problem i have with the multiplayer now is the fact that you don't lose health and can't die. other then that they've added server side inventory and practically all the features of single player. I think he wants to be able to die and take damage... also i do not know if there are monsters implemented yet, but if not, then monsters during the night and in caves. People can play the creative mode multi if they wanted, but we want survivor multiplayer. | ||
