    I bought Minecraft last night and punched the hell out of a bunch of trees, then I punched the side of a hill and discovered a huge cavern.

    How the hell can I build a pickaxe?

      Wood -> Planks -> 4 planks into a workbench

      Using a workbench you can make picks and other tools. Check the wiki for a full list of what you can do I guess. :)

      the game uses your webcam or mic for crafting input, so you have to use mouse gestures + repeatedly mutter "ENCHANTMENT" to make anything of value

      Now that I know the feature's there, someone needs to find a way to change the shades of color the 3d Anaglyph mode uses. :(

      I tried to buy it last night but I couldn't access the website. Is that the only way to buy it? :(

        I think WalMart has it too Yeah, it's the only way to buy it, and now that media is writing about it like crazy I guess his site gets hammered pretty badly.

        He really should hire me to make a website that works better. :P

      I just started playing it too after seeing all the threads. It's intriguing for sure. I didn't know there was zombies and dudes shooting at me though until I got killed from it.. :) Trying to build a torch, but I guess the thing I found that looks like coal really isnt.

      So, the "classic" version doesn't have any crafting? All you can do is build or destroy blocks?
