Phnarr!

EDIT: Damn you page turn.

No problem at all, if you want a particular flavour of wood (Dark Oak, Spruce, Oak or Birch) let me know and I'll concentrate on that brand, I seem to be favouring birch at the mo!

Likewise help yourself to Cobble from mine though I don't think there is that much as I tend to dump it straight into my auto-smelter, in future I'll put it straight into the cobble chest...

I'd love to be with you all, I may if youse don't mind just pop on for a looksee?

I wouldn't mind helping people raid mines or whatever too if I've a spare hour here or there.

New blocks, hope you lot haven't been wondering too far.

I got massively lost at one point, but I think I didn't stray too far from the map we have.

I want to find a village.

Hello Perm,

My mojang username is "iambeano". Please feel free to drop me from the whitelist though if you need it for someone else. You know me, I just want to geek out at what folks get up to. Thanks.

Safe,

Bean

You can craft moss stone now! Get me some vine!

You just said a whole lot of words I don't understand. To the google machine!

In other news, it increasingly looks like the Vita version of this is turning into vapourware, so I'll investigate how much this costs on PC. I do have a Mojang account, but I'll hold back on asking for access until I have the game up and running.

Be warned, I just lost a whole evening to my castles gate house. Use with discretion.

haha!

I showed a mate this at work today (a mate that doesn't even game) as a potential money earner, he asked why the graphics were so shit. Later that evening I got a text message from him saying he'd bought it and it's kept him out of the pub!

Fingers crossed for the Vita version.

Perm,  mind adding me to the server?   Jimmy_the_lips

Done.

Well after having spent an evening on the Xbox One version I am impressed.

Firstly it isn't running ver1.8 so no fancy doors or the any of the other goodies, it also has that shit console 'auto' crafting thing and I prefer keyboard & mouse to joypad but other than this it is brilliant. The most impressive thing is how smooth it is and the draw distance without it dropping a heartbeat. Anyway I've spent all night on it so I've had to stop to get some sleep ready for a weekend of gaming!

Is two billion dollars the current value of all small tech firms?

Also, who wants to make something suitably imposing for the top of the hill , preferably so we can still see the portal?
