Minecraft is my favorite game. I love it so much that I own and pay for my own SMP server.
If you don't know about Minecraft, check out the official site (minecraft.net), as well as the thousands of YouTube videos of Minecraft gameplay, creations, servers, adventure/challenge maps, etc.
If you want to play on my server, then head over to its official page
(link), read the rules, and post a whitelist request.
Finally, a few of my creations (some with the help of WorldEdit):
A simple little bridge
Doc Scratch, from Homestuck
Land of Heat and Clockwork, from Homestuck
sweet you have your own server that's cool, i hate playing online in minecraft though. most people with servers have some exam you have to pass. i don't know what for, maybe it's for griefers and i don't even take single step if someone else tells me not to step there. besides i know how long some projects take in there.
but anyway i hope the 1.9 gets released soon, it sounds awesome.
