who here plays minecraft for pc and mac and what is the best thing you have built so far mine was a city which i was trying to make whiterun from skyrim needless to say it all went wrong because i was terrible at minecraft back then
Self rebuilding castle with working redstone farms, animal pens, and tree farms in the area of/under it.

wow sounds really good i could never get the hang of redstone myself I'm more of a city builder plus i play a lot of pixelmon its so addictive
It took a long time, but once you figure out the basic concept of how its easy.
me and my best friend built a big settlement. i built the akropolis. i built a big hotel in creative mode. i am not very good at this.
sure id like to see some of those worlds :) so far I'm just looking out for some legendary pokemon on the minecraft mod Pixelmon

my world got corrupted thanks to some mod conflicts that apparently just couldn't be resolved.
I play from time to time but I stick to survival mode
me too. i started a new game with these mods:
Doggy Talents
LumberJack
ReisMinimap
CrayTokens (McCrayfish)
FurnitureMod (McCrayfish)
ConstructionMod (McCrayfish) i very recently added this but i've yet to do something with it
DamageIndicators
Backpack
Dalek Mod
DecoCraft
Food Plus
Idfix
OptiFine
SecurityCraft
TF 2 Dispenser
TF 2 Sentry
TF 2 Teleporter
yh if you're gonna do mods make sure u always back all ur minecraft files up before hand saved me a lot of hours not having to reinstall and change permit ions or make new worlds. and hikari survival is the best i don't like playing creative because if i build something i don't feel like I've accomplished much because everything is already given u don't get the fun first night or looking for food and ingots to get better armour or weapons but unless i feel like making a map like a huge city for the hunger games or just a towny economy world then once its all done i put it on survival and get all my mates online for a game of PVP. zoot Threepwood thats a lot of mods are most of them available for 1.6.4+ at the moment i like to stick with 1.6.4 because most mods aint available for 1.7+ yet
best game of all time. after 3 years it still continues to amaze me and leave me speechless.
I have to admit, I watched a video of someone playing Minecraft and my initial reaction was:
"Say what? How is this even playable?"
I think I've finally been indoctrinated into the "Holy Order of the Curve", haha. Or I've been spoiled with flashy graphics (more likely).
To each their own. I'm probably missing out on something hugely addictive, but I just... well... I don't know, it looks like something I was programming on my Commodore 64 back in the early '90's. I guess that's the point, though.
Haven't played for awhile, hard to say a best thing, stuff build on survival doesn't seem that impressive but things you make are much more useful and so seem more rewarding
I built an 8 bit redstone computer... It took forever, and I kinda wish I could have that time back. But, then again, I wouldn't have used it for any better purpose... So. Whatever.

i just want them to bring out ranks without having to have a mod that would be good :)

i know thats what i was like when my brother first told me about minecraft i fort it looked horrible because i was used to sky rim call of duty and world of warcraft haha i was a nerd back then. but when i brought it within the first hour i was hocked now i can't stop playing it

yh ill have to deffinatly agree with you on that one like when u build a massive house and all you're friends have small ones you feel a lot more appreciative about it

wow i wouldn't even know were to begin with building something like that i can just about build a red stone door haha you should upload it to youtube id deffo check that out

Well. To be honest. You begin by walking away from the computer. Step 1: Learn Boolean Algebra. Step 2: Learn how transistors work. Step 3: Learn how transistors connect to form basic logic gates. Step 4: Learn how basic logic gates connect together to form more complex logic gates. Step 5: Learn binary addition. Step 6: Learn machine language level computer programming Step 7: Learn exactly what a microprocessor consists of, at a logic gate level. Step 8: Figure out instruction decoding schemes.... Once you've got that, go back to the computer, fire up minecraft, and start spending HOURS futzing around with torches, and blocks, and redstone wires until you've figured out how to construct basic logic gates in 3 dimensions. Then, start connecting them together. It gets incredibly complicated incredibly fast.

At that point all it was capable of doing was adding and subtracting in 8 bit binary. I don't have any screen caps from after I went crazy, because it became 16 levels of nuttyness..

wow i wish my IT programming teacher taught me like that the only thing i learned how to code was C+, JAVA, and HTML 5 and then shortly after i forgot it all when i started hairdressing but ill give it to you that must be pretty cool to be able to do all of that if i was to even try i would most likely just close my laptop and give up all together how did u learn all of that tho it must of taken years ?. thank you for the helpful reply ;D

All self taught for me... And, I'd say it was about 15 years of learning... Writing emulators in C was actually helpful in many regards... And, since you've been exposed to C+ and JAVA, well, that's an open door right there... When I finally did actually take a programming class in college I passed by examination, which pissed off all the people I know who got miserable grades in the comp sci classes.
Reminds me alot of the relay computers I have seen and worked with, slow not really practical but an amazing exercise in seeing Boolean algebra at work. Also the sound they make is just priceless.
I would never have a future in programming because I use Object Pascal (FPC/Lazarus/Delphi) and 80x86 Assembly language....So while I write the occasional program to do something I want done, with quicker to develop solutions like Python and people wanting general purpose complied stuff all writing in C, there seems to be no place for my skills except a tiny hobbyist niche.

I wanted to build a relay computer once. I mean, THAT would be awesome. I have an old western electric outdoor telephone ringer. I could combine the two, and get some nixie tubes, and make an epic retro digital alarm clock. But, I never have the time or money for such projects beyond thinking about them.
I love minecraft.! first thing I built with my fiance is a huge city thay took us 4 months. then after that I ran a really successful minecraft PE server with custom plugins that where super close to the PC version. I was top 10 on a bunch of sites and was most demanded server to play on. But my Internet bandwidth killed me so I had to retire :(... I was the only server that had caves, dungeons, towny, anti grief, a spawn, minigames, multiworld, and a whole lot of other things. I think i spent about 6 months hard work and dedication of running it. I even would run it through my galaxy s4 through remote network to manage it. I miss that ; (
