Welcome to South London, more colloquially known as mordor
You cannot just walk into South London!
Is it a land of fire and ash?

I may have mis-quoted that a little
Herpy-derp, I'm an idiot.

Well, technically pretty much every biome has slightly different colors for water and grass and stuff. It makes the world look more interesting and lively, though the changes are rather abrupt (especially for the water).

...That's a swamp biome :P

Mushroom biomes are basically where the dirt is basically carpeted in fungus, mushrooms grow to the size of trees, and where the legendary Mooshroom thrives. I've seen plenty of swamps.

Even if we all know it's Minecraft, yes you do...

MANDATORY FOR YOU TO TELL US IN YOUR POST.
Hey now, I'll have you know that this is the first time I haven't posted the name of the game. I was mostly joking around :P

Edited previous post.

Perhaps you could have crew being tossed around like in Star Trek :D

Anyone find a mushroom biome yet? I spent at least an hour flying around in Creative mode, and nothing. Gigantic oceans though.

Exploring a cavern system and abandoned mineshaft on SMP. Find and loot a treasure chest. SSSSSSSS-BOOM!

Respawn, teleport to friend, re-enter cavern with friend to find loot. We take a wrong turn, he flies away (Creative Mode), I get attacked by a spider and killed.

Respawn, teleport, find loot, find dungeon. Loot, friend uses Creative Mode Power to dig a short-cut to the surface. I press on, fight a zombie on a ledge, strike the final blow, SSSSSSSSS-BOOM!

Repeat, repeat, use shortcut to find loot, discover a ravine deep underground, discover lakes  of lava with tons of gold and lapis lazuli, explore edges, find diamonds, SSSSSSSS-BOOM!

Everything burns up. Switch to creative mode and spam snow golems to bury the agony.

Even better, he already had absurdly high (even for commodore level officers) initiative, so I went ahead and promoted him. Now he's commanding the squadron of FACs that used to belong to Jamie Kirk.
You mean...James Kirk?

@the one who uploaded some mods while making them all work together (too lazy to look at your name and damn tired here in the middle of the night)
would you be so kind to upload the same thing with the 1.0.0 of minecraft out? pretty please with sugar on top?
I don't think that the mods in question have been updated yet. I could be wrong though.

Vanilla has snow golems now. They're pretty cool, though I'm not sure how they compare to "clay golems".

Am I the only one who finds the baby animals to be almost comically cute?

My plan is to build a castle in a mushroom biome and raise mooshrooms for food.

Already have it and quite a few DLCs (got them cheap on another sale). I like the concept, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the controls.

I can vouch for deals like this being notoriously unlikely to allow gifting of anything you already have.

Then what do you do with the extra copies? Do they magically disappear, invalidating some unmeasurable amount of money you spent?
When you go to buy a pack that has games you already own, it tells you that you already own them.  (I do not remember if it tells you that you will not get another copy or not.  I'm pretty sure that Steam flags you as an owner or not... not how many copies you own.)

I understand that. But if you buy the pack anyway, some part of your money is going towards those games you already have. If you do not get another copy to give to your friends, logically that part of your purchase disappears into thin air. If that is really what happens, it's an incredibly greedy design choice.
I think it varies from pack to pack. I know when I bought the Orange Box, my spare copy of Half-Life 2 became a gift copy that I could send to whoever.

Usually though; yes, the game you already own a copy of disappears into the ether.

I started in a swamp, but I found a nice cave to live in for now. I can hear monsters nearby, so here's hoping for a cavern system!
