After fighting my way through what amounted to a Left 4 Dead mob, this is what I found (pic taken after area was cleared a bit; drowning trap being set up).

The height of a map is fixed at 128 blocks. The sea level is at 60.
So if you dig straight down (dangerous; lava) or build a stair case, you should reach the impenetrable Bedrock (a.k.a. Admin) layer in a short time. That is, without collecting ores on the way down, and also not including lava, water and gravel mishaps.

(Note that these layers a cumulative, i.e. you can find everything from the layer above in the next one beneath too.)


The horizontal plane is virtually infinite, expanding as you explore.
It can reach a theoretical maximum about 8 times the surface of the Earth.

I made a thing.

These screenshots came out a lot darker than it looked but whatever.

It has a moat surrounding it that drowns any mob that steps into it and collects all the items in a 2x2 pit in the middle underneath.

Here is one side of the moat:

My underground storage and crafting area (you can see the moat through the windows):

And the pit everything falls into:

Really the only problem with it is that mobs dont fall in there that often because it is built in a lake and I am usually too high up for them to aggro and try to get to me. Spiders also just kind of crawl over.

View of the top sphere room. I kind of ran out of ideas and made generic gold tower with fire on top:

Thanks to my crippling minecraft symmetry OCD if you followed one of those gold blocks vertically straight down you would end up in the item pit.

I'm such an OCD-er when it comes to minecraft and symmetry. If a building is has something that hasn't been done right and I just winged it out of haste it will annoy the shit out of me. Everything needs to follow and architectural pattern.

Its one of those games that isnt for everybody. If you dont enjoy playing it in the first hour you probably never will. Some love it, some don't.

Played it way too much for a couple weeks when I first got it. Took a good break but I've been getting back into it over the past few days. Must..   complete..  underwater glass pyramid.

My local save, actually. Too bad it wasn't the online one, because I had like 500 iron in the first 30 minutes.

Yeah, Minecraft still lacks any definitive goal.
All you can do now is gather all the resources to craft anything in the game and play around with it.
The problem is, with the low frequency of content updates, it takes only a rather short time until you reach the point where you have seen and played around with everything (even more so, if you are already experienced).

It's the addictivity that at some point more or less gets you hooked on building something, constantly improving your creations and gathering more and more resources like a maniac.
It's basically like building with Lego bricks or with some other construction toy. Without the need to search for your bricks all around the house for hours, that is.

The devs definitely need to increase the frequency and the content of the updates, so that a casual player always has something new to find and experiment with.

I thought rapid content was taking second fiddle to plugging holes and fixing net code?

Like the Escapist is even worth visiting for anything other than Zero Punctuation. Its like a slightly grown up gamefaqs.

By that I mean: it is irrelevant who they award anything to :p

Zero Punctuation is the main reason I go there, but Unskippable isn't bad either.

e: I heard about it from a Zero Punctuation video. *whistles*
