Yeah, anyway for those who haven't heard Notch's user verification server exploded.

So what did he do? Remove the user verification and declared the game free until  he fixes the server. Just hit enter at the login screen once you get the .exe no login necessary.


www.minecraft.net

Make sure you TURN ON THE FRAMELIMITER otherwise your gpu will MELT your computer.
(this is mostly for high end cards with low end coolers like the NVIDIA 8000 series and high end notebook gpus, but turn it on just to be safe.)

Minecraft is now Turing complete make switches, tracks, mechanisms etc.
Singleplayer maps are generated and therefore unique. Maps can be generated to be 8 times the surface area of the planet via settings.

survive the night.

Its dangerous to go alone take this crafting guide:
http://minepedia.net/index.php?title=Crafting

It will be un-free once he fixes his server.

<_< I'm reasonably positive exploiting the fact that his auth system is screwed up violates some laws.

Not so sure you want to be promoting that.

He said it was technically free to play on his blog and even posted download links publicly. So it's cool.

I...don't think so.  I ran Minecraft for 6 hours today with that turned off and I have an HD4850.

Why is it that a game that looks such poor graphics has such high graphics card requirements?

-_-;; Well; I won't be playing.

I've been playing this for a couple of weeks actually. It's great what you can build when you get together with a bunch of others.

Sorry Mammy, sorry Tiff fix'd now.

I've ran it on just about anything. If your components were made in the last five or six years you should be able to run it. For anyone interested this is still going on so here's another trailer.


I'm not able to play the audio right now so forgive me if the music is awful.
