Minecraft Forums

I prefer Productions Resolute's because it shows something made by the community. As a graphic designer myself, I prefer the simple looking, yet amazing designs. I also love the perfect kerning and leading. Spoonfork99's is a close runner-up for me, though.

...Mac/Linux support for the beta? I'd love to try it out, but I'm not spending $200+ on Windows...

Honestly, I forgot all about this until I got the message. In fact, I didn't really think I would win seeing as how I'm never that lucky, lol ^-^
I'm glad I did win because now my girlfriend has a shiny new (free) Minecraft account. Thank you guys for this giveaway! You saved me some hard earned money!

If that's the case, then the original post should be edited so it doesn't mislead those who have an iPod/iPhone. I feel I have been bamboozled by both Mojang and the Forums for telling me that PE is on sale, but not mentioning that it's Android only, which it should be on sale for iOS as well anyways.

It's still $6.99 for me in the App Store (Eastern Standard Time, USA)

x = 10
v = 5
III = 3
therefore XVIII = 1800th century

So we're in the 20th century, not the 21st?

XVIII = 18. That means it's based in the 1700's, not the 1800's.

I HAD to buy Minecraft last night. :/

Man, you are SO getting sued by Blizzard. You can't say "Wow!" They own that!
Also, Minecraft is titled properly. What do you do in it? You mine things and you craft things. The two main things you do is MINE and CRAFT. Minecraft.

This is about as bad as when Apple tried to sue Amazon.com for using the term "App Store."

I think the Ancient Greeks should sue Bethesda for the use of the common word "scroll."

Farlander doesn't sound creepy at all.

This is a Slender Man story for all of those out there who somehow have never heard of him. The Endermen are based off of this guy:


I know of an old Romanian fairy tale, highly unpopular even in its earliest iterations. It might be based on a particular event, or perhaps it is an extrapolation from existing Slender Man stories. The translation I'm most familiar with goes a bit like this:

Once upon a time there were twin girls, Stela and Sorina. They were brave little girls, and had no fear of the dark, nor of spiders and other crawling things. Where other young ladies and even young boys would cower, Stela and Sorina would walk with their heads held high. They were good girls, obedient to their mother and father and to the word of God. They were the best children a mother could ask for, and this was their undoing.

One day, Stela and Sorina were out with their mother gathering berries from the forest. Their mother bid them stay close to her, and they listened, as they were good children. The day was bright and clear, and even as they walked closer to the center of the forest the light barely dimmed. It was nearly bright as noon when they found the tall man.

The tall man stood in a clearing, dressed as a nobleman, all in black. Shadows lay over him, dark as a cloudy midnight. He had many arms, all long and boneless as snakes, all sharp as swords, and they writhed like worms on nails. He did not speak, but made his intentions known.

Their mother tried not to listen, but she could no more disobey the tall man than she could forget how to breathe. She walked into the clearing, her daughters shortly behind her. "Stela," she said, "take my knife, and cut a circle on the ground big enough to lie in." Stela, who was not afraid of the tall man, nor afraid of the quiver in her mother's voice, obeyed what her mother said. "Sorina," the mother said, "take the berries and spread them in the circle, and crush them underfoot until the juice stains the earth." Though Sorina wondered why her mother asked her to do such a thing, she obeyed, because she was a good girl.

"Stela," the mother said, "lie in the circle."

Stela, though she worried she might stain her clothes, did as her mother asked.

"Sorina," the mother said, and bid Sorina cut her sister open with the knife.

Sorina could not; would not.

"Please," her mother said. "If you don't, it will be worse. So much worse."

But Sorina could not, and she threw the knife away and ran home, crying. She hid under her bed, afraid for the first time in her life. She waited until her father came home from the fields, and told him of the terrible thing she had found in the woods. Her father comforted her, and told her she would be safe. He went to the woods, his axe in hand, and as he commanded, she stayed by the hearth, waiting for his return.

After some time she fell asleep. When she woke, it was to the sound of knocking on her door at the darkest hour of the night. "Who is there?" she said.

"It is your father," the knocker said.

"I don't believe you!" said Sorina.

"It is your sister," the knocker said.

"It cannot be!" said Sorina.

"I am your mother," said the knocker, "and I told you it would be worse." And the door, locked tight before her father left, fell open as if it had been left ajar. And her mother stepped in, her sister's head clutched in one bloody hand, her father's in the other.

"Why?" wept Sorina.

"Because," said her mother, "there is no reward for goodness; there is no respite for faith; there is nothing but cold steel teeth and scourging fire for all of us. And it's coming for you now."

And the tall man slid from the fire, and clenched Sorina in his burning embrace. And that was the end of her.

I prefer Enderman. They're based off of Slender Man who is a VERY creepy guy. Look up the stories.
Slender Man is very tall, has long limbs, has been known to stop and stare at you, has turned people mad, and has killed them himself. This sounds a lot like the Enderman. I mean come on, if they're based off of a guy, they should retain part of his name.

No! Nnnooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I won't be able to ever sleep again if I know Slenderman is out there. He's watching us. Hide.
