just read all 48 pages of this, crazy that it is still active. Made an account just to say you guys all seem so nice, I might show up to these forums a bit in the future. gg all.
It is more than just active, the community for it is growing if anything. From 7 months ago, there have been a lot of changes to the game though too, which keeps it fun, even though essentially it is still just mine blocks + build stuff.
Regarding servers, Jareeb, if brian doesn't get his up soon, throw me a pm and I'll whitelist you + send you the ip to my Minecraft server so you can have your fix
I have been building a mob farmer recently. Dug down an 18 x 18 square right down to bedrock, then built up. 3 blocks per floor (4 including the floor) and I am currently at ground level and 16 floors I think. It works with water flow and lava, with a collection point at the bottom. Someone else on the server built a huge pyramid, with the base 64 x 64 and inside, because it is pitch black, mobs spawn like crazy in there. Would have been better with that if she'd have let me
