is there something like a private server mode in minecraft where you can make player accounts so they can build stuff together?
how do servers work? how does the game work?never played, total noob, asking in search of a multiuser vr building environment for kids.

- you can also find free minecraft server providers and set up your own... or pay just a few dollars a month.slinky

- Realms are servers, run by us, just for you and your friends. Invite an infinite number of friends to join your personal Realm, and play with up to 10 at a timeuan

- Alternatively, find an anarchy server with neverending world, move away from spawn as far as possible where no one will find you and build

I've spent some time on 2b2t.org lately (oldest anarchy server) -- as a tourist. The spawn area or whatever is left of it is really something
Everything within a radius of 5k blocks looks like this. Some players are teaming up to build highways along the x and y axis, others are trying to destroy it, and they are constantly fighting over this
- Looks stupid afmonospaced
- And I’m a Minecraft fan, even though I haven’t played it in years.monospaced
- Its just the obsidian canopy, to trap all new players
https://map.daporkch…drgs - Outside of it there are highways and water channels which you can travel. There are no trees within a radius of 20k from the centerdrgs
- Ugh fuck thatmonospaced
- Depends. If you are looking for an extra hard challenge, 2b2t is greatdrgs

None of us are running game companies, we dont have any idea how much this is worth, but clearly MS really believes that they can turn this franchise into something huge, and then sure I can see it generating billions over years. Or maybe not. Who the hell knows. Its a business investment they hope will pay off, and if it was just as simple as, there isnt 2 bil to be made in that well, not so sure they would have cut that check.
- How are we better off after reading this post?detritus
- perhaps less posts assuming any of us knows anything about running a 400 billion dollar business?CygnusZero4
- I'll be sure to remember that next time you have a go.detritus

This article also points out:
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/12-re…8. Schools love Minecraft. Apple thoroughly kicked Microsoft’s heinie in the education market by offering schools deep discounts starting in the ’80s. Now Google is going after that market aggressively with Google Apps and Chromebooks. Teachers who “get” Minecraft are over the moon about it. It finally gives Microsoft a chance to get its Keds inside the classroom door.
9. Parents also love Minecraft. Once they understand that Minecraft is more about building cool stuff than blowing things up, many parents don’t mind when their kids spend all night on it. Some have set up Minecraft servers for their kids so they can control whom their kids interact with during the game. When’s the last time you heard a parent say they love it when their kids play Halo or Call of Duty?
11. Microsoft has buckets of money to lose. Microsoft currently has about $85 billion in cash reserves, or enough to buy another 34 Minecrafts (or 40 copies of the L.A. Clippers). Even if it’s never a money maker, it’s worth it as an investment in mindshare (not to mention Mineshare).

Speaking of deadmau5 - Here's his monument to himself on Joshua Davis' server (I believe).

^LOL!!
you hero!! who needs work, show em minecraft, they will love it! :Dalso what version/hack do i need if i want to have infinite blocks and items?
i figure i love building shit and what takes up most of the time is mining, so hopefully this way it will curve my hours and hours spent on it.

Now I've got my kids addicted to this shit. Either they want to play it, watch me play it, or they're reenacting playing it with legos or something.
Holy hell.
Been trying to build a mob spawner / trap. So far results have been less than stellar, and keep getting killed by those god damn creepers... Bitches!

and now...a working computer within a computer. not that I really understand what an ALU does, but this is pretty crazy cool.

And the mine-and-build voxel knock-offs/improvements keep coming:
Also, Notch/Mojang just hired the guy creating Cube World (the video I posted above).

i too stumbled on this game recently and love the creative aspect and the exploration of huge maps. Also, my kid has been on a lego kick of late and this is cool compliment to that.

Sometimes I'm so thankful to have a short attention span.
The 10 minutes of Call of Duty is more than enough to get my game fix for the day.
Nevertheless this is amazing stuff. Having a little background in Assembly from my nerdy computer science years, I definitely appreciate the working computer the guy built. Very amazing.
