If you’ve seen the news, Notch is slowly pulling Minecraft out of Alpha, and into Beta. With this, he’s combined \/indev\/ and \/infdev\/ into what is known as Minecraft Alpha.
\nIt’s unknown what changes will be done to Creative mode. But soon Minecraft Alpha will have multiplayer support.<\/p>\n
There’s also one other thing. To ‘celebrate’ this change, he has released a standalone client that you can play Minecraft Alpha without a browser. This is a big step in the right direction for him…and for me.
\nIt gives me a chance to finally really get into this thing and see what I can do in it.<\/p>\n
Already I now know how to make my first ever Pickaxe, thanks to this helpful site<\/a> which I call “\/infdev\/ Crafting for Dummies”. I go to it alot now just to verify if what I’m doing is correct. Because there’s alot to learn.<\/p>\n I found a huge, deep hole near my small house leading to a mine. Nothing real valuable down there, but I’m going to claim it as my own. I even made an alternate entrance for it. Was alot of work. I had to deal with several pickaxes breaking, and constant flooding of my mine. Thankfully the water flows instead of multiplies, or I would have a real<\/strong> issue on my hands.<\/p>\n Today I’m going to take the time to explore the huge landmass I saw just NE of my house. May have to move if I find a better mine. But to be honest, I got plenty of resources already. I just don’t know what to do with them. Plenty of coal and cobblestone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’ve seen the news, Notch is slowly pulling Minecraft out of Alpha, and into Beta.
