Update 1.5

So update came out around Monday of this week and he added quit a bit this time. Usually Notch only ads a couple crafting recipes and works out some bugs or server issues in his updates but this time around he took a big step in improving the game. The first thing he did was to add a boosting rail to the crafting recipes. It puts to use all the gold I just had sitting around but they aren't as affective as the boosting glitch that I have been using for my mine carts which is to have a cart constantly going in a circle in my castle be cause carts on parallel tracks will boost each other. Well here is the new system I have built in my castle:
The next big things that he added was both an achievements menu and an statistics menu. Now there is finally a point to the game! There are very few achievements right now but I see potential with this idea. The achievements include crafting various things of catching fish and killing mobs. Pretty easy for the most part. The stats menu tells you things like hours played, distance walked, distance fallen, servers joined, games played, distance in mine cart and so on.

Sad day

So I completed my glass pyramid house in the multi-player server. I decided to stop at the floors because there wasn't much need for more than that and while it was under construction invisible spiders kept sneaking in and killing me.

But anyway as I said I finished my house and logged of and when I came back my main chest of valuables such as iron and gold had been completely stolen, another of my chest now had a spell put on it by someone to lock it so i can't even get in it... and there was random destruction of the second floor and the wall of the first floor.

I don't know why they didn't just torch the place if they felt like being a dick which they obviously did. But no matter, they did what they did. They also destroyed my bed so now when I die I respawn all the way back at the main spawn point which was really quite annoying. All I really want to do now is fist there spawn point and put a big pit bellow it deep enough down so that they don't die so the only way out it to dig through tons of stone with there hands... see how they like being messed with. That's all I have for this week. Better luck with your endeavors.

MULTI-PLAYER SERVER!!!

So this week my friend found a cool multiplayer server with tons of people on it so i decided to check it out. There are tons of huge buildings in this server so its pretty well developed but i found a spot to build just outside the city limits of "south point" which is the southern city. This sever has a whole network of rails and stations set up so you can get to places quickly. If any of you want to check this server out feel free to come and visit my new home, jjust please don't burn it down or steal all of my stuff, that would suck for me.
So above is a picture of my new place so far. Its on top of a pyramid of sand and made out of wood and glass so it looks classy. I also have a mine going straight down to a dungeon that a conquered with much grief cause this server often glitches so that the spiders, zombies, and skeletons become invisible. Its quite impossible to kill them if you can see them and you don't know if its a spider crawling after you that you cant outrun, or if its a skeleton that's shooting you with arrows. But enough about that, now for some humor:

 As you can see someone made a guy out of colored wool. And if you look really hard you can see that someone thought that this guy wasn't man enough without a big old boner... so they were nice enough to add one. They are so thoughtful in this server. If any of you want to check it out just copy and paste the server number into your multiplayer bar: 64.34.176.217:26965
