Minecraft went Gold

[Mr. Analog]

I'm surprised Tom didn't mention this but he's probably mining stone in Minecraft right now LOL

[Tom]

I haven't really been paying attention. And and really it really shouldn't be released in the state its in. Horrible bugs... The worst one he has probably never even admitted exists. It lags like hell, even when only one person is connected.

Still an ok game. I paid for it a while back, so at least I wont have to pay full price

[Mr. Analog]

Heh, yeah I heard there were issues, and yet over 4 million players now... crazy!

Hey, are you gonna get an XBox? Just curious

But notifications from my social circle await including an invite to a party at West Ed Waterpark

Ahhhhh... Totally worth the timesink and loss of privacy price of entry. Enjoy, say hi to Zuck for me!

[Tom]

You can be on facebook and not actually share stuff you don't want people to see you know

[Mr. Analog]

Ahhhhh... Totally worth the timesink and loss of privacy price of entry. Enjoy, say hi to Zuck for me!

Just for that I'll post and tag pictures of you with intimate details of your life.

Privacy HAH go live in a cave

And then because he's not on there, he won't be able to un-tag them...

[Mr. Analog]

Muah hahaha!

So, back on topic...  Why would you mine stone on Minecraft?  Is it valuable?

Mostly when you're finding other stuff. Or to make stone tools at the start. Or as a building material. You can also use stone blocks as part of a recipe to make things like stone stairs, stone plates, a couple different types of switches, etc.

[Darren Dirt]

Lots of expertise on display there, Tom.

Are you a stone-r?

If only

I've played a bit. I'm not completely familiar with all the new buggy features yet though. I did most of my playing several months ago. the last few versions though have made exploring quite a bit easier in multiplayer. More fun too in my book. Less afraid of dying, more killing monsters. \o/

[Thorin]

Yeah, but is it valuable?  Like, is there a stone economy in Minecraft similar to the gold economy in WoW?

Not even remotely. 90% plus of the blocks in the world are stone/cobble. I find myself dumping entire stacks (64 blocks to a stack) of them into lava or in random holes.

Minecraft does have Gold, Iron, and Diamonds. Diamonds are /very/ valuable, and quite rare. Some other materials can only be found in "The Nether" which is a hell like place with extra monsters and death traps, much harder to survive there.
