YOUR Golden Rule for Minecraft

[Ozzythecat]

Having only played singleplayer I don't have very many... I'm afraid of angering people by playing multplayer...

OT:
1. Never go looking for THAT noise, no matter what noise it might have been.
2. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ENOUGH COAL
3. No wall no mater how high will keep a skeleton from shooting you
4. Creeper wants a hug? You give him one... OF DIAMOND!

We came of this site.

Was going to login and check things out but it seems the servers are down.

 

[RepeatAfterMe]

Keep difficulty up.

Carry a sword.

Make underground mine large and open.

Remember...


NEVER DIG STRAIGHT DOWN!!!


You'll always end up falling in lava or a cavern full of creepers, no exceptions.

Side note - Is it possible to change one's username for MC without buying the game again?

BIPEDALS ONLY!

1. never light a tree on fire unless you want to live in a firey hell
2. creepers can always spawn in your base unless every spot is covered in torches
3. finding diamond in a multilayer server is awesome, but dont tell anyone until its all mined out and in a secure location
4. never let anybody know were your chest is unless you wish to vacate the contents of it.
5. if anyone asks, you didn't steal the diamond even f you did
6. when planting a proxie monster spawner in your friends base, make sure to kill all the torches and make sure no one sees you do it because everyone is a douchy rat.
7.build a small safe house in your spawn just incase shit get fucked up
8.explore caves because you never know if you'll find 64 iron befor the first night (it happend to me once)
9. dont dig down unless you have enough ladder to plaster the walls with
10. finally, if you want to make dynamite, for the love of god use armore when killing creepers.

Never do anything to make any of my friends angry.

I would like to keep my stuff ungriefed.

My motto for SMP: "You can never have enough death traps."

Of course, my first 'base' in the server I play on was a third storied Temple of Doom, which looks even more awesome now that Sandstone is a material and I can make arrow dispenser traps.

Golden rule? More like Golden RULES!

1) Don't place 10,000 tnt blocks in a hole. Especially on your favorite server... It doesn't end well.

2) Beware of spiders, they are likely on your roof.

3) Have multiple bases, starting from the spawn onward.

4) Always make spare tools, store in multiple bases.

5) Live on mountains. Or on floating islands. Or in trees.

6) Explore!

7) Doors.

8) Everything is a weapon.

9) Survival over beauty, especially on hard with 5 other people.

and 10) and a rule from Shadowrun: Look in all six directions; forward, backward, left, right, up and down. It'll save your life, especially from Roof Spiders.

 

[Zinaxos]

Not yet. Sadly.

Lighthouses.

Always have markers to lead you back to your main camp, and always have an especially large one to point out your spawn point. Usually, I stack two cobblestone pieces on one another, then cover it with torches.

Looks pretty cool from a distance, actually. Reminiscent of the set of torches from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

I did the same thing but with illuminated pumkins....was epic as shit...especally how it was floating over a pyramid/house

Oh, so you're going to stop being stupid? Good.

I really can't tell if you are being hostile or joking?

 

[Caligulove]

"location, location, location"

That or never throw anything away building material. Might not need that 256 Cobblestone now... but youre gonna feel like a tool when you want to build a Lighthouse 3 days from now and realize you need to build a quarry

 

[Mischiviktus]

Don't use lava as lighting with flammable objects within a 4 block radius.

 

[Dumbfish1]

Does anyone know a decent multiplayer server?

I second this request. Lack of a MP server is what keeps me from playing Minecraft. Surely the Escapist has a server?

Rule #1: Bring Many MANY torches

Rule #2: When building on top of the tallest mountain you can find add a deck to your house and snipe those blasted creepers below with arrows

Rule #3: If you have the wood and don't care how it looks fence off your roof, won't stop spiders but at least you won't have creepers falling on you when you walk out the door.

Rule #4: Fuck spiders! Hit and dodge, hit and dodge

Rile #5: You will NEVER find what you're looking for on purpose underground.

 

[thefanciestfish]

1.) There is no such thing as too many torches. No not even then.
2.) You are 90% more likely to die when carrying diamonds
3.) Creepers only spawn when you think about them.
