I am right into electronics as a hobby, and have been very interested to try this out. Today I built a safe (combination is on the door).
I also like building traps. There are two so far, both of a very similar design (the wide one is a spider experiment). If you do get stuck in one by mistake, mine the block in front of you that hold you underwater, and then replace it. To use the trap, get a mob to follow you, and lead them into it (walk over towards it, then quickly run around it to the other side so that try to walk to you, and fall in). Then find the stairs down to it, and look for any loot they might have dropped. I twill float down-stream.
Lastly, I’m looking for a map editor, so I can try to make some of our changes permanent, so that we can have sections of map that can’t be mined (like the safe I built), and Hashy’s tower. It’s easy to cheat in this game (like me changing the time to morning so that we can lead newbies to the base (map editor will mean I can move the spawn point). We need to draw the line somewhere I suppose. Otherwise it will take the fun out of it :-) For example, I could turn monsters off if I wanted, but I think that’s a bad idea :-P
