The man with no plan.
Minecraft is a game being developed in java by a retired game programmer. The game can be found Here and the devblog which updates everyday can be found here. The game isn't done yet but it should be soon. It is also a map editor with 8 blocks (soon to be 10). You have dirt, sand, wood, rock, gravel, cooled lava, planks, leaves and bushes. There are also a few things you can't spawn such as Water and Lava. Right now the game is still only a map editor.
There is a better explanation. Also, new blocks have been added. Here is a list.Arf said:The first post in this thread is really an understatement of how fun Minecraft is.
The difference between this and GMod, is that GMod is mostly physics, ragdoll and behaviour manipulation. This one is about terrain manipulation on the fly, and of course, exploration. In this, you don't create objects, you create land, the very map you're playing on. But the coolest part about this game is the exploration, finding an underground cave with water never ceases to be awe inspiring, and flooding caves accidentally is the only accident I ever loved in my life.
The very second you create your first house, you'll be in love with this game, and you won't want to leave your little hideout, and will keep building upon it. And it feels fantastic.
