Minecraft

I love minecraft.

I am a little irritated though.

It seems that the beta (1.3) SMP is just less stable than the previous versions. I think part of it is the addition of so many new features. I love new features. They are insanely awesome. However I feel like the additional information tracked has had some strong negative consequences.

I see a lot of popping blocks now. I get disconnected quite frequently. I see things I've placed disappear only to log off and back in and see they have reappeared.

It's not broken. The game is entirely playable. But it is a hassle. Of course it's a beat so things are supposed to be even worse. I can't say I blame them for adding things in before taking time to optimize the client/server transactions.

But it is irritating. This is a perfect example of ingratitude. A guy has made an incredibly awesome game available since alpha at a dirt cheap price. Rather than rave about how awesome the game is (and it is awesome) I complain that the beta multiplayer has some problems.

I get on my own nerves sometimes.

I'll escape by going and doing some mining.
