When digging a stair case up, ALWAYS block off the bottom until you're absolutely sure that you will not flood whatever is at the bottom of the stair case.

This one doesn't apply anymore but "If you you cut down a tree, clear the leaves away too. I don't care if it takes awhile do not leave floating shrubs everywhere.

Same as always, never mine the block under you.

Does anyone know a decent multiplayer server?

The very best.
It just tells me "Server is outdated".

Unfortunately we have not updated yet and is still running on version 1.2_02.

We need to wait, for Hmod (or you know if Bukkit is ever released) and other essential anti-grief plugins to update.

Ah. Guess I'll be building my partheneon, then.

Even when playing on peaceful, always scan the ground for deep holes. I died so many times from that.

1: It's safer to run.
2: Have a back door.
3: Don't make your first house too extravagant.
4: When moving house, take the bare minimum.
5: Hit a creeper then back away (repeat).
6: If you find diamonds, get the Hell out of there, if you dilly-dally you'll fall in lava.
7: When coming out of your house at dawn, run away in case there's a creeper around the corner.

DO NOT BUY.

Not that I don't think it's great, quite the opposite in fact. I wish to continue as a functioning member of society!
Pretty much this, if I find myself bored for too long I have to start singing in my head or I'll end up buying the game.

If you try to mine something while standing on a ledge above a pool of lava, YOU WILL FALL OFF

Build a ridiculously large tower before you do anything else. That is as good as any stupid compass for finding your way home.

Make an underwater base. Why? They're cool.

Build tons of 62 block high towers and connect them with bridges. Make the bridges five spaces in width, put fences and torches. No need to worry about monsters anymore.

Use glass. Tons of glass. While you're at it, find some clay and make bricks to build a house with. Pretty sure it's creeper proof and looks nice, too.

Don't fear the creeper. You can usually survive an explosion with enough health to dash back home.
Never go out at night unless you're looking for trouble.
Skylights in mineshafts are excellent ideas/traps for skeletons/zombies.

My golden rule for Minecraft? Don't buy it - it is a life ruin-er. I bought it today after looking at this thread at around midday, it is now midnight and I have moved from this chair TWICE. I was supposed to spend all day in the library reading about Hogarth but I built I mega fortress instead which is much better.

I suppose my real golden rule would be...
"Never empty a bucket of water"
I emptied one in a tower of my doom fortress and now that tower is a giant waterfall so I abandoned the entire operation in favour of a MEGA TEMPLE on a random island somewher and I am going to build to biggest bridge you've ever seen!
