My DS (10) is completely obsessed with Minecraft. I downloaded a cheapish version onto my iPod, which he played with - but he has now saved up and downloaded another version (a £16 version) onto my Mac.

He was very excited - until he discovered that he "still can't make TNT cannons" (cue mega meltdown). I haven't got a clue what he's talking about. I've looked on the internet, but it is all complete gobbledygook to me. Can anyone please, please help restore family harmony by telling me in language for technophobes what it is that he needs to do to make one of these things?!

Alarm over: DS has unearthed some American boy on YouTube who gives a TNT cannon tutorial (oh yes). It works! DS is now smiling again...

It's Total Miner in our house!

Looks like shoddy 80s computer graphics to me, but hey, my 10 yr old DS is obsessed too!

Could be doing worse I guess....Hmm lol

If he goes on the 'beancraft' server, it seems that there are lots of friendly players who are always helping each other out, and telling people how to make new things
so I am reliably informed by 10yo DS

Feeling very smug to have finally posted something useful in Geeky stuff Smile

Ten year old DS obsessed too, the graphics look crap to me. But there's no effing and jeffing and violence so that's good. Grin
