Nice info, but I'm in OS X, and unfortunately the linked files are only for XP and 7. Oh well, it is in alpha after all. Still an awesome game.
It looks interesting, but not interesting enough to make me install Java. I'd rather see it as standalone.

JavaScript is used by lots of websites, Java is something entirely different. There are probably some websites who use it but they can usually be avoided.Huh? Java is used by lots of websites, I don't know why you wouldn't have it installed.
why does people hate java so much?
Hmm I don't have OS-X, but Google found that the resources folder in OS X should be in this location:
username/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resources/
Try putting the downloaded files there, hopefully it should work!

servers are back up for buying the game.
their stats page states that :
In the last 24 hours, 8628 people registered, and 4254 people bought the game.
thats a lot for such a small indie developper. Kudos to them!
I think the novelty will wear off, though it's fun and cash well spent. However, I can't really see spending dozens of hours on it, but then again I almost never finish any game (not that there is a finish).Minecraft is only one of a handful of games that have taken the approach of "Buy me now at a low price and get Alpha/Beta access!" The other game being Natural-Selection 2. I'll be interested to see if anyone buys it after release.
Yes, I know the difference, and I was referring to Java itself.
At a professional/IT level, Java really can't be avoided. Example: ADP. Ya know, the biggest payroll company in the world, requires it for their eTime system.
It's still probably the best choice for cross-platform development.

I must be doing something wrong. I have never had a java exploit and I check out a TON of porn.
Sigh, my enjoyment of Minecraft was short lived. I get a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) when playing, usually can't go further than a couple minutes into it. This is on Windows XP SP3, RE version: 6.0_21-b07, running on VMware Workstation. Makes me a saaaaad panda.
Not only are the sites few and far between that require it, the usefuleness to exploits ratio isn't good enough to make it worthwhile. If I encounter a site that requires it then they're not worth dealing with, and I soon find other options.

Did I mention Jesus fukin Christ?!
Yep, it's a big internet.
IMO, his server going down and opening up a "free weekend" was prolly the best thing that ever happened to him. He's already a multi-millionaire from this game. That's just batshit insane!
I knew I should have tried harder at c++
