It honestly doesn't spread anywhere near as much as I hoped it would.
Apparently it also kills stuff. Could be pretty useful to have wood around your base to light it on fire when those weird guys come or something.
But it gets the job done. I can kill the trunk and light the tree and no need to deal with all the green stuff.

You can also create eternal flames by surrounding a piece of wood with stone on all four sides.

Did anyone else get flashblacks from their youth playing with lego blocks because of this game? :sorcerer:

Indeed. When I try to explain what this game is about it usually ends up something like: "It's like LEGO, but infinite"

I hate trees. I hate them.

Quote from SFJake

The annoying thing about trees though, is that part of the wood will just stay on fire forever until you cut it down. The leaves however... none will survive.

Victory! I gotta try that, I hate cutting down my wood only to have 43,000 leaves still hanging around in the air.

Yeah, the tree trunk is reasonably easy to get rid of. It's the leaves that got to me. I spent about a day just clearing out this rectangular area, getting rid of all the trees, filling in the holes with dirt, and surrounding it with cobble. Now I think I'll build a cobblestone wall around the whole thing. I am still not sure what I am going to do with it. I have a mine entrance in the middle, lol.

Omfg I found gold. And lava. I cut through to this humongous automatic cave first time I ever found gold or lava lol.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I have a question!

If I put a 1x3 row around my building area, like this:

[Edit:Damn Forum...]
Like this:
SSSSSS
WWWW
SSSSSS

(Around my house)

And I put that flush with the ground, that should stay on fire forever, right? And that would keep Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, and Spiders away from my house, right?

I was overjoyed the first time I found gold. I was like "HELL YEA!"

And remember, it's BUCKETS OF LAVA! Hahaha.

Also, I was like "She double posted" then I checked the rules, and they changed it so it's not against the rules. Lol.

That won't work because they have to be surrounded by inflammble and that does not include more fire. However, if you set up:

SSSSSSSSSSS
SFSFSFSFSFS
FSFSFSFSFSF
SSSSSSSSSSS
S=stone
F=fire

Than you should be good.

@Equinox - wait until you find diamond. Just make sure you use an iron pick on it. And unfortunately gold is pretty much pointless. It is worse than iron.

Hmm, neat. And the monsters won't be able to get through?

This is neat...

Can I make pretty yellow blocks from it, though?

Speaking of preventing creeps from entering your area, I just discovered fences. I originally used them to block my farm from critters but it keeps the creeps away, too, since they can't jump over (nor can the open doors). Notch should consider creeps that can actually destroy stuff/use stuff; granted, those fences are pretty sturdy...

Notch has Creepers, which leave huge holes when they blow up. Gotta have your stuff made of stone or better to survive their blasts.

Um, only when you're there... and only if they choose to activate. And for that to happen you need to be close to them. Unless you do it on purpose, with a fence you're safe.

Although I'm trying this now because I actually want them to die and not just stand there...

You can use 9 gold bars to make one gold block.

Makes from some fancy blocks, good luck building a whole house out of it though.

So I left Minecraft working on my computer for about an hour. As you should know MC eats a lot of resources.
I came back and my computer crashed, took an extremely long time to load... and all my worlds got deleted. Lol.

Fortunately, I'm not really serious with the game right now so I didn't lose anything amazing.
I'll get serious when I get the off. version lol.
