Official TBT MineCraft Competition!

look up some youtube lets plays on it.

it is basically a sandbox adventure game where you build stupid blocky houses and junk, whatever you want to build.

the free version is not like an adventure game, it is only a sandbox building game. you can explore, but there's no real point in doing anything outside of making pixel art or crazy buildings.

if you buy the game, you get more of an adventure/game experience. you have a health meter, the ability to craft items such as armor, boats, tools, and lots of other goodies, enemies (mobs) that are both annoying and fun to fight, more incentive to actually explore your world (resources since you can't just build anything you want), and a few more things, i guess.

if collecting things is your bag, i'd say it's worth it. exploring a big underground opening that turns into your home mine is some kind of zen experience, if that kind of thing clicks with you.

otherwise, the game is a piece of crap and you should avoid it like the plague. but it's fairly cheap (though not as cheap as it was/still should be), and you could spend your money on worse games.

tl;dr: free = build ****
$20 = collect ****, build ****, fight ****, craft ****, get updates with more ****.

i'm unsure if mods can be installed if you play using the free version, and i'm pretty sure multiplayer is also available/enabled with free version. i may have played it like once. big whoop.

Also the fact that even if you plan on just building stuff in a Sandbox style, the paid version has like 999x more blocks to build stuff with.

No classic mods unless you want to go through the terrible effort of hacking it.

I'll let Sporge come and wander around it when we're next on, it has a few things to talk about/explain.
It's actually an "adventure castle/dungeon", with puzzles, treasure and horrible monsters to fight!

Also, after Sporge's seen it, I'll probably show a video for everyone else to see.

That is one sexy picture.
 
pictures work, just get enough video would be great, I can visit if wanted, save file not needed but I guess that is another way to show it. I'm kinda on Andy's server sometimes sooo yeah I can visit that one, still try to at least post pictures for everyone else though.

Mine isn't on a SMP server, though. Either way:

That's a zipped version of the world. You should be able to just drag and drop it into the "saves" folder. After unzipping it, of course.
 
cool :-p

I don't know if there is a preferred texture pack you used but it looks very nice on the Arcane texture pack, a lot of the subtler things like water on top of the sunroofs in a couple areas :-p

looking back I thought there were pictures :-p
helps seeing what pictures you saw hanging there.
 
Alright so it is now JULY and that means next competition will be starting up. For this month make an interesting contraption using the new pistons! It just better be cool :-p

For castle building I don't think I can reject AndyBs, he had an entire game planned out in it. It was sweet.

So Andy get a hold of me on Steam sometime for your prize :-p

it has craftable things, which makes for a lot of content, which makes for more you can build with.

if you want to build moving contraptions, explore and survive more than build basic art/houses, then it's worth buying. if you're just gonna make pixel art with colored wool, it's best left at the free/classic level.

why did i even reply to this. asldkfjoig;ljs

Woohoo! Thanks.
I will say, I really did like the look of Trevor's.
 
Decided on creating a piston portcullis (castle door thing) for this contest. It's kind hard to think of something as awesome as I'd like it to be, but it'll do.
 
Well I officially forfeit this competition. I can make simple redstone contraptions, but nothing amazing. I understand the principles, but it's just too damn complicated sometimes.
 
As late as i am, i'm going to drop out of this competition, i'm so bad with redstone contraptions and even piston contraptions.
