minecraft.net is back online
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Looks like the site is still getting hit.
EDIT: Finally got back in and on SulSeeker's server. Apparently there is a group of twits calling themselves the "Chaos Wolves" that came in and griefed a bunch of stuff. Joy.
have they destroyed a lot?
Measures are being taken to combat greifing.
All in all, I'm an easy going guy, I mean I help out mining blocks and making glass and generally playing the game as it should be played (I.E. not spawning everything under the sun... save for water/lava.)
We shouldn't have to police the server, but I realize this is the wide open internet, if someone's project gets ruined and I figure out who's responsible, they will be banned. I have no tolerance for it.
I wish Notch would get a better hosting solution. I know he can afford it, lol.
I'm just not a huge fan of his attitude about it. He said he would go back to coding and just let the hosting provider sort it out.
I don't blame the guy for taking it slow and cautious, it is not the best time to go crazy and lock himself into leases with the chance that the interest for the game will die off. It's a good way to end up out of business, especially if you're unfamiliar with all the costs that may be involved.
Denial of service attacks are probably not something he planned for.

Actually, they do have an office, and a CEO / business head / couple more programmers / artist, too. I think they're up to six employees? So certainly not big, but expanding from the original one man team. Don't think they're all working on Minecraft exclusively, though.
Honestly im getting a bit annoyed at the lack of updates. It went from weekly updates to whenever he gets around to it. Its like people forget its still alpha software and make excuses fro him but this is bad form. I really hope he gets his shit together and gets on finishing this before playing with his new little company.
I think that may simply be due to the fact that he's getting into a much more difficult phase of the project. Minecraft is $14 well spent as it is, I don't see why people are getting riled up about slower updates. You paid for the game as it is with free updates as a bonus.
I do agree that he needs better hosting.
I dont know about you but i bought minecraft on the promise that it was going to be a finished product.
I dont know about you but i bought minecraft on the promise that it was going to be a finished product. It lacks quite a bit and has too much potential for him to squander.

Where did you read that promise? lol.
What about "Alpha" or "Indev" sounds like "finished product"?
Try reading about what your buy next time.
Here is the reason Minecraft is down. Taken from 4chan
Minecraft is currently experiencing a stimulation provided by us.
Its purpose is to send Notch a clear message of how the future of minecraft will turn out unless he gets to work, namely by influencing the amount of sales taking place, due to the attacks.
Start providing your customers with the updates that you promise them.
We have roughly 83,000 bots available, and preserved for this seizure, we could if we wanted to keep this going for weeks, however we have decided to give it a week, and see whether or not your attitude, and commitment will change, we believe it will when money stops rolling in for the time being
anyhow, no were not from roblox, or any other minecraft clone, not to mention none of us have been around 4chan for years, and nor has any real 4channers for that matter, its all newfags now, and has been for quite a few years."
OK. Lets de-construct this shall we. Minecraft fans are attacking the site to make Notch update more.
Right.
Notch does two things. 1. Makes minecraft. 2. Maintains the site.
If he is too busy repairing the site then HE ISNT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE GAME! Good grief, do you not have any braincells between any of you?
You paid £8 for it (if, in fact, you did pay). Its in alpha. Its an indie game. You think he does this for money? No, he loves building games, playing games. He talks to the community and finds out what we want, not what will sell best.
Not only that but he has a huge update headed here on Halloween. How does that not satisfy you?
People like you ruin it for everyone. Its not big or clever. Its pissed alot of people off plus notch might just now drop support for the game. End it there.
Well done you selfish, insignificant, ignorant twats.
/rant
This confession may turn out to be a bunch of crap. Whatever it is, I cant get the server going. If you get no comic tonight, you know who to go for
You geniuses know that what he is selling is a fucking PREORDER that includes an alpha right?
We are not buying the alpha.
I know its typical of fanatics to blindly defend their obsessions but i payed for something and am unhappy about whats going on. I have the right to be unhappy about it and am not going to let some fanboys tell me i dont.
Im not launching any attacks against him all im saying is the lack of updates is cause for concern and if he dont step it up im not willing to support him anymore.
