I've had the game for a couple weeks now and its addictive as hell.
I went and built an underground, underwater tree farm in the middle of a lake.  I drowned five times in the construction of this project and yes, it did take an ungodly amount of glass.

I don't believe it! I started playing Minecraft too recently, and I'm currently working on....an underwater lair! Great minds think alike :)
I'm using soil blocks for the rooms, then covering with glass, then hollowing it out. My main chamber is a vast pyramid about 16 blocks to the water's surface, then rising still further still into the air (unfinished). I'm going to have it "float" off the bottom too.
edit/ I love the Matrix effect you get when you view the water through the underwater glass.

OK so I finally broke down and bought Minecraft. I checked my contract and despite what CCP Wrangler says I am allowed to play games that aren't EVE Online 
I played for 7 hours straight  If I didn't have to work today I would still be playing it! Its fun, its addictive, its frustrating, its a sandbox. I have an aqueduct, some fields of grain, and a huge freaking hole in the ground!
/me rubs his hands together
Mwuahahaha...
edit: And as the guy linked above me, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asImTDkPWKA]this[url] is amazing...

So... I'm sold, this **** is awesome. I could never get hooked on Dwarf Fortress, the graphics were just too far away from what I was used to. But this? It's not that far away, you can clearly understand what is what, and what is awesome. I'll give you a mini AAR to show how awesome this game is right from the start. I haven't built anything as cool as the underwater tree farm or the highway but I'm working on it. Keep in mind that I took these pictures after I finished building, so you'll see stuff before they should be there as you're reading.
This nice little beach is my spawn point, it may not seem very special but considering what I wanted it ended up being an ideal starting location. I knew right away that I wanted to build an underground lair and I didn't have to walk far to find the ideal location (Done some work on it already in this picture, just imagine that the wall looking things aren't there).
Unfortunately I had to spend a lot of time climbing up the hills you see in the first picture to get back to SENSATION BAY FORTRESS, after dying to roaming spiders, zombies and Al-Qaida members. That is until engineering solved my issues, this wall managed to keep me safe from all the evil spiders, zombies and douchebag suicide bombers. At first I built it 2 tiles high but I ended up dying two more times because the archers in Minecraft have played Unreal Tournament and bunny jump against your wall while spraying a rain of arrows.
But why am I ****ing around on the surface you may ask? Well when building my secret underground lair I noticed that I couldn't see ****, and while I've seen torches used in the videos I have no clue how to find them. So being the eco friendly man that I am, not to mention a genius when it comes to resource management, I decided to let the sun do the work for me. 4 billion deaths later, one Chinese wall built and one secret lair/cavern discovered, I finally finish my Illumination Shafts. I then realized that no underground lair is complete without an indoor pool and/or whatever else you might need water for, so I decided to create an underground river, complete with service stairways and a nice pathway on both sides that I can walk on and roleplay and stuff.
That lair/cavern (Which remains unexplored) thing was came as complete surprise to me. The previously mentioned Al-Qaida operatives seemed to all come from the same direction, it happened to be fairly close to where I was building my wall and I ended up dying three or four times in a row in the same spot. On the third death I actually fell into the secret cavern/lair that had opened up because of the suicide bombers creating craters in the ground with their explosions.
Hope I didn't scare anyone away from Minecraft.

Torches are made through either the workbench or inventory crafting table by combining sticks (made from lumber/planks) with coal.

Yeah, after watching the videos on page one I realize how horribly far behind I am.

Here's my spawning area in the Survival/Alpha game. I have raised the spawn point to a high level for safety and aethetics, and enclosed the surrounding area within a 2x2x2 pit to keep out monsters. The surrounding area is well lit and patterned with sand and grass. High above the spawn point above the clouds is a beacon structure at the maximum height holding torches, to act as a beacon if I'm nearby and lost without a compass (and also for coolness).
First underwater lair with pyramid in background. My first small underwater lair is just to the left of centre. There's a temporary soil bridge out to my pyramid project which is unfinished. The square pyramid is being constructed of soil and gravel with a vast base deep below the water (hence my low health hehe). I haven't finished the bit underwater yet. I'll cover it with glass blocks then hollow it out, so it'll be a huge underwater space with the tip poking out above the surface.

What? At the moment, survival multiplayer (SMP) is pretty bad, as furnaces don't work, redstone doesn't work, and there are lots of bugs. However, you can hack in things like iron, which you would get from furnaces  , and it works pretty well if you just want to build stuff. It's pretty buggy though... Monsters also don't work. The Halloween update is supposed to have lots of SMP fixes though, so it might be worth playing soon...

Partially submerged pyramid chamber complete! Well, gotta get rid of the top entrance/steps and connect it to the mainland from under the seafloor and tart it all up a bit with trees and lava :)
\o/
It's a shame there aren't underwater creatures, be cool to see an octopus swimming past my pyramid.

Notch has actually confirmed whales in the future, with the possibility of sharks as well  .
And yes, even in alpha, this game is worth buying. It's half the reason I've barely logged into Eve for the past couple weeks, lol. |

the way your sentence reads makes it sound like you are claiming to be autistic.
