I bought minecraft recently and have been playing it loads for the last 4 days.
I started a hudge underground tunnel to mine for stuff, diamond,iron ect. when I found a cave allready formed so I went though mining the rock and minerals and got a load of iron and other bits and bobs.
I reached the end of the cavern and there was a pool of lava, as with past experiance with these pools I knew it was likly there was things a I wanted under the pool.So I dag a big pit next to the pool and started to empty it with my buckets when I had to jump down to reach the other lava blocks. I was safe on a ledge when I suffered a framrate issue and somwhow ended up stepping in the lava. So I set on fire and died so I lost
:2 buckets,32 blocks of iron ore,5 blocks of gold ore,a diamond pick,some stone tools my watch and my minecart
I managed to recover some of the coal I mined (about 67 pieces) but that iron was sooooo needed by me as I only have 4 iron ingots so I was a 'bit' pissed off and am glad that knoch is constantly updating minecraft as hopefully he can make a way to protect your stuff when you die in lava as the less frustrating the better
has anyone else had a FUUUUUUUUUUUU.... moment in minecraft and if so why?
LoL happened to me too.. You kinda have to do contingency planning the moment you encounter lava. One such contingency being DONT GET TOO CLOSE TO THE GODDAMN LAVA XD
And no, I dont think Notch will ever present us with an "Anti-lava item save" sh*t happens, deal with it and move on, annoying as it is xD Lava is death, dont try to be smart around it, make nice big platforms or steer clear of it.
Or pour water on it. Seriously, it helps.

My biggest problem with Minecraft isn't really a problem with the game. I lack the creativity to build awesome things, so I lose interest pretty quickly. The best part for me is starting a new game and trying to survive a few nights.
The whole point of playing games like this is to:
A: Develop your creativity,
B: Express it,
If you have trouble being creative, start with something basic, mimic something, perhaps your own house? Sure we cant exactly make slanted roofs but that can be worked on.
But yeah try something simple like that, try to think how many blocks would go where, would a hallway be two blocks wide or one? Would it be three blocks tall or two?
You might come up with some crazy idea later like "What if I had a tower on top of my house?" and build a tower you could climb up to from a ladder.
Another thing you can do is get a pan/pencil and paper, preferably grid paper so you can plan out the blocks, the halls and the platforms level by level, turn it into a blueprint for how you want it to look then copy it into the game, the harder you work at it the more satisfied you can be with the end result.
It doesn't matter what anyone says so long as you yourself are proud of it.
That's my spiel anyway lol
