ds106 has a Minecraft server, how sick is that? If you don’t know what Minecraft is—like I didn’t two months ago, read more about it here. I just spent my first hour in Minecraft getting a tour from the great Noise Professor. Martha Burtis and Mikhail Gershovich have been building away—and we invite anyone interested to come in and play around—just use this server/IP address: minecraft.ds106.us

Martha and I have been thinking about how we might be able to use this for our ds106 Summer courses, and while I am very green yet—it’s 8-bit fun at its finest. The tour with Noise Professor was a blast, and the ds106 monolith he built (featured above) is just further testament to to his awesome. And now that there are a few of us playing on this server it could get fun—I mean the crazy cave Martha started is spellbinding. Such a wild idea of space—I can see why so many are enthralled by Minecraft right now
