I paid for Minecraft when alpha practically didn't exist, at the time when there was only regular creative mode and the only benefit to buying the game was custom skins. Since then, Minecraft has been updated a hell of a lot, and I've certainly got my money's worth many times over.
People need to look at the game and enjoy it for what it currently is. I never imagined Minecraft would have so much cool stuff added to it when I started playing it back in May of 2009.
(and by the way, I paid the same price back then as you guys do now)
fCraft is in my opinion the best server software out there. It's been developed by fragmer since December 2009, and has like 20 thousand lines of code now.
It has a comprehensive config tool that you can use to customize classes and change server settings.
The only downside, is physics is not yet implemented.
I'm motivated to make a fast 3 digit decimal adder now. I would have done a decimal adder a while back, but I couldn't figure out how to convert the input to binary and result back to decimal without performing a whole bunch of multiplication and division (which would require a TON of adders because adders can only be used once).
The trick is to use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD). Convert each decimal digit to a BCD digit, do arithmetic directly on those BCD digits, and then convert the resultant BCD digits back to decimal. It requires about 9 or so digit conversions, and 6 adding operations (three 4-bit adders, and three 3-bit adders). I also plan to allow for subtraction of this machine.
I randomly got sparked in all of this Minecraft computing stuff again. I took another look at this adder and noticed that the binary to urinary to hex conversion at the end is redundant. It only needs 17 rows instead of all 31; 16 rows for the first digit, and another row governing whether the second digit is 1 or not. Just a thought I'd throw that out there.
So anyone have done something yet?
Couldnt respond so fast to the thread because of old forum lacked "My Post" button..
If you actually read the posts here you wouldn't need to drag out this old topic. Building a legitimate computer in Minecraft is not possible as of this day. The two best pseudo-computing machines made so far is probably

an Redshift + liq's: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6471
There's not much more you can do than that other than allow subtraction, decimal numbers, and larger numbers
There is no possible way to make anything round on a computer. Pixels are square, therefore everything is blocks.
That's like saying it isn't possible to do accurate floating-point arithmetic on a computer. Sure it won't be exact (must be rounded), but it's close enough that no one gives a ****.

When it comes to Minecraft, it's foolish to think a construction is biggest/best.

Yeah, good thing we have redstone torches to help out with that.

If you study Creative Mode sand physics they don't :tongue.gif:
