| This is the opposite of my experience playing multiplayer Minecraft. There are no goals here, other than ones you set yourself. You simply log in, hang out with people, and mess around. Here are some things I've done that were the highlights of my time on this one particular server (semi-vanilla PvE): I helped a fellow player build an iron farm when he didn't know how. Helped another player try to debug his auto-brewer setup. Built a vending machine so new players can get cheap food. Got a full set of diamond armor as payment one time. Exchanged Christmas gifts. Helped a new player find a place to live. Upon arrival, we stood at the top of a cliff and admired the view. Then, he noticed a lone chicken and immediately named him "Colin". When the night came the chicken got out, and we both went leaping down the mountain after him. We lost half of our gear, but Colin was safe and sound in the end. Had a pool party. A player was living in the extreme hills biome. Upon visiting him, I remarked that it'd be fun to jump off the cliff and try to make it into a tiny pool of water. So that's exactly what we did. Invited other people, and spent about two hours climbing up the mountain, then jumping off. Don't get me wrong, it's not like this all the time, but if you find a good server with good players, it can be a really fun experience. |
An experience like that is one you can't script and it is richer as a result.
