The town I'm working on currently. I just finish surrounding the outer walls with a moat of lava. Those fucking Endermen kept taking blocks out of my walls, and a creeper (kamikaze shrub monster) got through the line. Had to repair a whole chunk of ground and walls, so I finally got a bunch of buckets and start hauling lava up from the ravine under the town.

I should also include that youcan try out minecraft for free in classic mode online through http://www.minecraft.net/, and selecting it on the right side of the page for singelplayer or multiplayer modes.

Out of curiosity did an activity monitor while MC was running along with a few common apps, Safari, Skype and iTunes.

It was averaging over 500 MBs and between 50-70% CPU. So really anything under 4 Gigs RAM is gonna
struggle

haha my 13 year old loves this game he's been playing for about a year now, I think....along with Runescape and Terrairia (sp)......He's mad at me now though, cause I switched his OS to Linux and now he's trying to learn how to install his mods to use in the game.....

just go hit youtube ,and he'll be fine. I came in on 1.4, and it's now up to 1.8 which is just a ton of fun, though several of friends keeping dying because they forget that they need to carry food now.

That's what I told him...You learned how to do it on Windows with youtube, so why can't you learn Linux the same way.

That's about the version my youngest started on and he loves the 1.8 version....I just asked him about the food...he said yep if you don't carry it with you and you get hungry, you die.

Yeah, I load up whenever I head down into a dungeon. I usually carry a full stack of pork chops. Mushroom stew is better, but isn't stackable, and you're left with a wooden bowl taking space in your inventory. I had to burn through most my stores, though, when my friend eli ran low, and was typing like mad because he had nothing at all on him, and a full inventory load.



And this is a picture of my town at night:
