So yea, it's a browser-based Java game where the world consists of cubes.
It's in alpha stage with currently with the only gamemode being sandbox. It will eventually have a survival (amongst others) mode.
At its current stage, you create and destroy various blocks in either a single- or multiplayer environment. It's got rudimentary physics, which means that sand and gravel blocks fall straight down and liquid cubes (water & lava) spreads by duplicating itself to an adjacent spot next to and below itself.
The multiplayer servers are hosted by other players or dedicated machines using the server files. Playing the full game is free until it gets done. At the moment, you can pre-purchase the full game (which will include more gamemodes, zombies, and more!). As a perk for pre-purchasing and supporting the lone developer, you're given the ability to modify your character and upload a custom skin.
In Minecraft, you can turn this:

Despite its flaws, it's a fun way to spend some time.

I don't even want to GUESS on how much time that took.. I mean.. he must have mined out the entire fucking planet for all that water and recourses.

Started playing Singleplayer, since my game freezes and crashes every 1 minute to 10 minutes.
I notice I'm not the only one having this problem, Ocfos have gotten it lately, and Nemochan seems to get tons of disconnects. Natrix also reported his game crashing :[
It started yesterday, until then, there was no problems at all.

You save stuff on servers by using persister.
Also, if you crash all the time in MP, turn the distance thingy to normal instead of far.

YEAH! Friday update fixing everything that's wrong on the server! 
Sep 10, 2010, 08:43 PM#55
+ Added server-side inventory
+ Made the server save player locations when they leave the server
+ Made chests work in SMP
+ Made signs work in SMP
+ Made furnaces work in SMP
+ Added monsters=false to server.properties. You can turn it on for experimental monsters, but you can’t hurt them directly yet. (Fire works, though!)

I'll be uploading maps of the world every now and then here.
What did you use to take those pictures?
Cartographer?

The server I play on is quite big, as in, the community is quite big in Minecraft terms. They're sick of Notch's (the minecraft dev) way of working and have decided to make their own open source Minecraft using a different engine, and fully coded in C++ or C# instead of Java. They already have a few programmers, but maybe some of you want to take a look.

By the way guys. Watch out for a guy named 'wolfmaster' earlier today he took some gold, diamond, and a few tools from my chest. I know it was him because he's the only one who's been in there since they went missing (there = my house)
I'll ask to see if he'll give me the blocks back later. But I doubt he'll admit to stealing them.
