Anyone have issues with framerates?

Sometimes when I play it slows down, but I just stop what I'm doing for a few seconds and it goes back to normal and then I don't notice it anymore.

That Rapture vid kinda makes me want a place surrounded by the ocean. Wonder how they got it started since you can't hold your breath for very long in this game.

I think there are certain things that will block the water like ladders and then you can build out around. I would really like to see a video of how they built that.

Digging one big-ass hole then letting a waterfall fill it up? That or it's edited clips... I'd be so tempted to smash one of those windows when I picked up that wrench.

Building an underwater entrance

ugh, i'm getting so tempted to start this.

How much time does it eat up tho?

All of it

Yeh that's what i feared, guess i'll be saving this for a really rainy day (ie christmas).

I'd wanna build a football stadium zomg!

Probably already posted, but this Earth build is mindblowing

EDIT- can you get boats/ cars etc?

wtf is this ****, a bunch of noobs building castles one brick at a time?? WHY???

Thats what i thought at first, but it looks enjoyable, and it's gathered a decent following here, so it cant be all bad.

I would say when I first started playing this game I put in a good 25-30 hours in a week. Since building my Eiffel Tower I've maybe played 3 hours. I cleared out the front part of the tower out to the water, dug down one more level and resurfaced it with dirt.

The problem I'm having is grass. Grass will only grow on dirt that is adjacent to a block that also has grass on it. And, grass won't grow in the dark. Shadows in this game are straight down no matter where the sun is at.

My Eiffel Tower is solid from above so I'm getting shadows all over the place, like a big X on the ground. I was able to get grass in from one of the sides and it started growing just fine, but then it stopped in a semi circle out from the wall up to where the shadows began. I'm not really sure how I'm going to get grass to grow further into the center, but I'm thinking I read somewhere that torches will cause crops to grow as well? As long as there is light? Maybe that is the same with grass, I haven't tried it yet.

There was something else I wanted to mention, but I forgot now.

Eiffel Tower eh?

His is pretty cool, better detail than mine. I have pictures in this thread somewhere if you wanted to see mine. The only thing I don't like about his is that the "legs" aren't on all sides, as far as I can tell. He only has 2 sections. Mine is completely 3-dimensional on all sides, if that is what you'd call it, but I have less detail.

Edit: Was going to post an updated picture, but Minecraft is down right now.
