When dealing with lava, ALWAYS have a bucket or two of water ready...ALWAYS. (I wanna be with you, make belie------)

Create a working bench inside a newly discovered cave, use the working bench to create some more pickaxes.

FSSSSSS!

I tried to get it yesterday, but it wouldn't accept my card even though there was no reason what so ever for that to happen. :(
the servers to buy the game aren't great, i think it either it was or still is that you have to buy the game one at a time, because the server cannot accept more than one purcahse at a time.

I like how, if you're mining deep underground and you hit a pocket of lava, it lingers just long enough as if to say "you fucked up!" before flowing to kill you.

I was wandering, once.

The life of a nomad is a harsh one, with little reward for much struggle.

Upon a small hole in the ground did I come across, entirely on accident.

I jumped down, eager to explore, as this file was severely new and embarrassingly sparse.

Greeting me was the largest stash of coal that I had ever come across.

I still see that stash in my dreams, taunting me with its wealth beyond imagining.

In my eagerness I failed to maintain caution around the lava pit nearby.

I was struck ablaze.

I did not survive that day, and a piece of my soul died along with my character.

To this day, I still haven't been able to relocate that particular pit, and for that..

I weep.

Just gotta be careful. And increment yourself, and practice caution. Like never go jumping by lava carrying that much iron ore that needs smelting. The lesson here is clearly Lava requires caution. Or, alternatively, make more trips back to a chest for safe keeping.

And yeah, framerate issues are a nuisance, but I'd suggest switching to peaceful if you're spending a lot of time around lava.

I don't play Minecraft as a Survival game. I use INVedit and use it as a huge world for building, much more fun that way IMO.

I've lost multiple loads of iron ore and diamond in my unlimited cave system. I really don't know what to do. I lay about 300 torches worth of space each exploration and always lose it all, without hope of recovery, each time.

Took a week to build my combined fortress/mineshaft when I broke through the floor when digging and fell to my death. I lost all my items and, now here's the kicker, I forgot how to get back to my fortress from the spawnpoint. Rookie error.

You mean in "still in alpha"? That's the something different Minecraft is.

Not really, it being in alpha has nothing to do with the natural of the game. Though Notch has mention that he may add some sort of end goal in Minecraft, but also that he's not sure.

That aside, Minecraft is very different than every other game. It's completely open, it's only as difficult as the player wants it to be; unlike other games the players motivation to build is what keeps things going, not gradual progression which is present in every other game. This has nothing to do with it being in alpha, and everything to do with it being an open canvas.

Yup, same thing I do. Only for the rare or annoying to get materials, though (diamond, brick, boatloads of wood early on, glass). Actually, never mind, I mod in everything...

I foolishly attacked a pig zombie the very first day the Nether was implemented. To my surprise, attacking one of them doesn't cause just one to attack you, but every one in the Nether...

To make matters worse (not sure if this was a bug, or this is how it is now, haven't played lately), but my items weren't retrievable. I figured they just weren't retrievable in the Nether, so I died intentionally to test it in normal world, and the weren't retrievable there either.

Just use a hacking programme so you don't have to dick around. That's what I did.
What's the point of playing then?
The last time I checked, when my lego man "died" to pirates, my collection of lego did not cease to exist.

Hell, if you're playing the game to build, why on earth would you really want to trouble yourself with death anyhow?

Why not just play Minecraft classic then >_>?

Yup. Exactly the same thing. Fucking lava. There should be a patch where catching on fire isn't an insta-kill... Only now I have discovered the wonders of peaceful.

I've had that happen before. Except it wasn't really a frame rate issue that put me in. It was me thinking I was Spiderman as I tried to make a jump that I shouldn't have even attempted.

That's why I started carrying a bucket of water with me. Catch on fire? Dig a quick hole, dump in water, jump in. Live.

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.

I think the game really needs an end goal.
