Finite inventory, crafting

Mining is now possible.

  • Finite inventory – Have maximum of 100 blocks in inventory. All blocks placed must be picked first. Blocks can’t be created or destroyed – just moved or crafted. This means big piles of stone near mines. To unload blocks from inventory into a pile, press U.
  • Crafting table – Player starts with just 6 crafting table blocks (looks blue for now). There are recipes for all materials. It’s not needed to remember recipes, or use special crafting window – just place blocks on top of crafting table and press C key when pointing at the table. A list of things possible to make with supplied ingredients will show up on screen.

    Very cool! Can i suggest making a mining cart (idea from my own roguelike mining sim…) that you could build, fill with blocks and push down the rails. Also rail stops that stop the cart.

  • Pandabot:

    Give credit to original content.
    also,
    fanboys, this isnt the real one,
    this is a fucking clone,
    notch sayed it was alright to make a clone,
    but making it multiplayer is going way too far.

    go here for original.

      First there was Dig Dug (a platform game) in 1982.
      Then there came Infiniminer in 2009(which supposedly inspired Minecraft).
      Then came the others.

      I play open source games. Open Source means anyone can use it or modify it. Granted Minecraft probably isn’t open source (otherwise why would so many be upset by another program being so similar?).

      Ideas are ideas. No one sued for DaVinci when the helicopter or hang glider was developed after his death.

      However, obviously, these are just my opinions. Your mileage may vary.

    This is a ripoff!

  • Anon:

    Blatant rip off of Minecraft. Seriously, how low can you go?

  • alldatjunk:

    What the… This is the biggest ripoff in the history of ripoffs. Notch gave you permission to use some of his ideas, and THIS is what happens? An ugly, unfinished (but otherwise exact) ripoff of his game? You should be ashamed of yourself. You seem to have absolutely no respect for other peoples’ ideas. If you had any sense, you’d cancel this project.

    • minecraft2424:

      dude fuck off its a game did u cry when minecraft copied off of infinminer… i bet so but did i no… many ppl get upset about this and i dont see why this game kicks ass and i love minecraft also…. so goes to show another troll crawled out of the cave

      • MinecraftFTW:

        I am getting sick of this. If any of you look at Infiniminer, or have ever played it, then you will realize that this is so much different. Minecraft and Infiniminer, sure, they were both block based, but they also were completely different and allow for differrent things. Seriously, people… They can make the game, and it can be good. But this is still a large minecraft ripoff. The differences are so minor (errrr… miner ;) ), that unless this game really steps it up and makes something off of the ideas of the actual developers more than variations on minecraft, then this game is worth it.

  • Play the Original:

    http://minecraft.net/ , don’t go for this rip-off piece of junk.

    • antitroll:

      Troll. Minecraft itself is not an original game. Don’t be ridiculously religious. Dinosaurs have existed long before 6k B.C.

  • alldatjunk:

    Actually, now that I played it, this game is quite good. It has a revised minecart system, different crafting table design, different player animation/default player model AND anyone can get a skin!

  • ANONEMOUSE:

    Good god you’re pathetic. Can’t you try thinking of something original. What in god’s name is wrong with you?

  • ?:

    Honestly… i think i saw that anywhere else already… cant remember where…

  • Miner:

    Minecraft is better.
    This is ripoff.
    Notch will sue.

  • manicripoff:

    This game is just terrible play minecraft dont support this maniccoksuck

  • GamerNGF (pissedoffman):

    I was debating whether or not to buy Minecraft. After seeing so much disrespect here, I’m going to buy it. Right fucking now. I bet you all anything it’s going to be great, and well worth the money. I was wondering why you didn’t charge for this so called “game”. Now I know why. This piece of shit isn’t worth anything but damnation! http://www.minecraft.net/

    Go there everyone. That’s where the real fun is. Buy it, and support the wonderful creator.

  • Anonymous:

    Why can’t people use their coding talent for something ORIGINAL

  • CGomez:

    Wow, the hate spewed here is awfully sad. Fortunately, it is ignorant. People like Notch and this author seem to be interested in advancing the state of the art of this type of game. That won’t happen if no one works on doing that.

    I don’t see you charging for the game and you are trying to do innovative things like build a Monster Editor to let people continue to create their own content.

    Perhaps you’ll let Notch borrow from you when he sees what you’ve brought to the table.

    Ignore all of the hateful trolls. They are little people who enjoy berating others. It’s not like Notch is losing out because of you. We all know how his bank account is growing. If anything, you drive MORE people to him to contrast, compare, and advance the genre.

  • Vaenn:

    What a blatant rip-off of Minecraft! This is just sad.

    Oh and to CGomez:

    People like Notch are advancing the genre, not the guy who made this poor excuse of a Minecraft clone. All he’s doing is copying the work and creativity of people like Notch. Copying someone else’s work DOES NOT constitute advancement of the genre. What is there to contrast and compare, by the way? Everything is the same except for the “crafting table” and I honestly do not think this version of crafting is innovative at all. It just uses an ugly, unpolished menu system.

    This “little person” is happy to help Notch’s bank account grow, seeing as how he is the real innovator here and deserves every penny he gets for his creativity and hard work.

    The only reason I could see you supporting this copy cat, garbage of a game is because it’s free and you’re too damn cheap or broke to support the development of an original title by a talented, hard-working independent developer.

  • MINECRAFT>MANIC DIGGER:

    WTF YOU ASSHOLE, NOTCH GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO USE SOME OF HIS IDEAS AND THEN YOU REPLICATE MINECRAFT. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT, YOU IDIOT. http://www.minecraft.net is the original, don’t play this ugly piece of shit. It’s a rip off and the creator should go die in a fucking hole.
    Good day all.

    • antitroll:

      Minecraft is not an original gaming concept. Do some research on the internet. Btw, your caps lock is broken.

  • uglybad:

    Here’s several words for all manic digger lovers:
    THIS GAME IS A FREAKING UGLY COPY OF THE BEST PC GAME OF ALL TIME!
    Play Minecraft, it’s absolutley better! THIS GAME SUCKS!

  • minecraftlover:

    OMFG I HOPE YOU GUYS BURN IN HELL. FUCKING MINECRAFT RIPOFF!!!!

  • Hmm:

    I don’t have time to try this game, but it looks a bit too similar to Minecraft. Regardless of whether Minecraft was inspired by other games, it’s a problem for “Manic Digger” that it may not offer anything different from Minecraft (other than being free).

    For everyone who keeps responding with Minecraft copied/cloned Infiniminer, is it even possible to play Infiniminer anymore? From what I read the concept of Infiniminer was to collect minerals as a team for points, which differs from the concept of Minecraft a bit. Just because people started using Infiniminer to build things instead of what the game designers intended doesn’t make it an identical game to Minecraft.

  • SmokeX:

    I wonder if anyone has noticed that this troll is the same person posting under hundreds of different names. I bet its notch getting pissed because someone else is making a free client that has all the features of his shitty java program that is buggy and shitty but he’s ripping people off by charging for it. Large run on sentences and trolling to the max, anyone?
