From the spawn point, turn around and it is next to the large building behind you. It goes over the ocean. My 'house' is actually at the end of the bridge, next to Mags tower.
There is a skybridge around the spawn that is a 7 minute walk to the Arena and other areas.
My Magus Tower is also connected to it. Along with some other structures.

Minecraft seems to be, unfortunately, a concept in the wrong hands. A small team from a seasoned development studio could potentially create a game with at least graphics from the last decade, and with full physics simulation, faster than this guy probably will.
And seeing his success, no doubt another studio has already started on it.
Big studios don't take chances and don't make unique game play. That is why the industry always needs people like Notch to take some risks. I wouldn't be surprised if other studios are currently trying to duplicate his game play, but most of the time when this happens, it comes out half assed and worse than the original.
I do think Notch should be working with Valve though. I wouldn't be surprised if he had been offered a full time job there. But he is making his own company and I think that is a huge risk, it could pay off, it could fail miserably. I think Valve would have done for this game what it did for Portal.
Whatever he does, he needs to move quickly from here on out. Because the game is so unfinished, he is going to lose his audience quickly to other games. This wasn't an issue before because it wasn't as popular, now that it's popular a stop watch until the copy cats hit the market has started.
I was the one who built the skybridge from spawn to my skyscraper. It's admittedly sloppy in it's placement, and just unoptimized in general. I could probably shave a minute or two off the travel time by making it go straight to the tower rather than doing the weird loop-around near the end.
Can you not move lava in smp? Every time I drop a bucket it just dissipates.
Edit: Tried water too, same results.
would be awesome if krakn could run this on the server map. krakn, if you can somehow send me the map file, i could try it.

not sure if it works w/ the current alpha or not though

I was just about to post that. It can be done, and would be pretty cool to have the map.
Water/springs/lava is all working on our server.
Anyone know when damage/mobs will be working?

Sorry, vshah, I should have specified that "our" server is one I'm running in my house for me and my g/f ... we built some water elevators and whatnot. I think what makes it work or not is dependant on what type of block you are dropping the water on.
What's the AT Server IP? I havent done any Multiplayer yet!
its posted on page 5 i think
I agree with Bryf50. Minecraft is a great game partly because of it's simplistic approach. The greatness of a game is not determined by its graphic prowess but by it's ability to keep you entertained in an enjoyable fashion. It reminds me of the endless fun I had playing with Lego bricks as a child.
Long live Minecraft
minecraft servers down again.
hopefully notch will find a better solution soon.
