A lot of those instructions may have been from before any texture pack support was put in. I have not done it, but the thread here
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=46173
makes it seem pretty reasonable.
Has anything changed since the Halloween update?
Yes, there’s been further changes. You can read of them in the version history on Minepedia. Some new blocks, new critters, various changes. The useful ability to turn wood into charcoal, which can substitute for coal.
Pretty sweet, and it won’t fill up with mobs because the floors are basically all glass. Torches at the edges on the cobble should be sufficient. It would extra fine if you put some lightstone blocks in at the centre of each floor.
Thanks.
I don’t know how to get or make lightstone, but I’ll google it.
I recently applied the high res textures mod (since making that video/screenshots). Not sure yet whether I like the differences… One thing I do like is actually being able to see much more stuff through more than a single layer of glass. For instance I can see the upper ‘back’ door through the glass when I’m stood on the ground floor.
ETA: My one minecraft video is proving more popular (i.e. number of views in a set time period) than any of my call of duty videos! I might post more. (but then I’d have to do more impressive stuff in minecraft to make videos of 
)
Thanks. I used those instructions, then got a high res pack from one of the posts in the same thread.
Hope it’s ok if I bump this thread? I couldn’t see another minecraft thread in the game room.
Anyone here got a good mp server they go to? I have been to two so far that I found on reddit ([noparse]www.reddit.com/r/mcservers[/noparse])

also, made some quick videos (quick being the operative word)
I intend to do something more substantial. One problem is fraps doesn’t compress what it records (I guess to allow for better performance while recording), so just a few minutes of footage translates to some pretty massive files (ten minutes of recording generates a file about 4 gigs in size, and that’s recording at half-size screen 30fps)
I love the death on the first one. At high speeds it’s just CREEPER-BOOM-DEAD!
Me too. It was an added little bonus of speeding it up. You can see the creeper through the tree then less than a moment later boomdeadrespawn.
And the thing about creepers is - they creep up on you, so you don’t know they’re there until it’s too late a lot of the time.
“Sequential Art” webcomic takes on Minecraft. I’m guessing the “giant stone penis” is a Creeper statue.
Or, typically, just a giant stone penis.
This one kind of reminds me of my own experience - Sequential Art
(build an awesome tower, only to find that people have built something one hundred times more awesome in multiplayer)
I built my house in Minecraft blocks. Then i built the local bar, Taco Bell. Dairy Queen and the gas station. I am now building Tiger Stadium. It is half size but still huge. Walk out 890foot basepaths and than picture 312 feet rt fld line 325 right field line. Them seats and concessions.
Start a new world with 404 as the seed number.
Find a large gravel patch next to a small pond.
Dig in gravel.
Watch your step!
Seed #665822145 is likely to spawn atop a mountain.
holy crap!
I tired of digging for diamonds, which is what the game starts off to be. Instead I started building stuff. I built my house. Then I build the Taco Bell down the street. Then a local bar, the Dairy Queen and a gas station.
Now i am building Tiger stadium. It is a huge undertaking about 3/4rs done.
gonzomax for me, diamonds are a side bonus not a main goal (in fact I never really have a single ‘goal’ as such. I just potter around and occasionally decide to add or change things to my house)
Just got the game a few days ago. So far, I’m in a pattern of[ul]establish a small home in a cliff.[li]dig! Dig! Dig![]collect a bunch of stuff.[]get lost.[]die.[]lose my stuff.[]start a new world.[]establish a small home in a cliff.[*]repeat.[/ul]I have those map programs but don’t know what to do with 'em.[/li]
At least now I can use this to get the seeds for random worlds I like and start again.
Part of the problem is, I could never remember to build a chest for my stuff before I go exploring.
I’m starting to get into playing Multiplayer. In Multiplayer I can’t decide what is safer - keeping as much stuff as possible in my inventory (so that when I log off, it logs of with me) or keeping it in chests (so that when I die I still have the stuff in chests)
It seems to depend how well maintained and griefer-managed the server is.
