Yep, that’s right, an unstoppable forest fire is raging through “west spider forestshire”, a small county I just made up located – you guessed it – to the west of a giant spider I built in my spare time.
What? Oh, yes: this is of course the giant spider I built in Minecraft.
Yes, thanks to one of our server’s resident players deciding to undertake a little deforestation project, a fire is currently sweeping through Minecraftland:
How did this begin?
I was pissed off with all the nature that was in the way of the improvement works I was bringing to the local community (i.e. a road), so I set light to one of them before thinking about how stupid an idea that might turn out to be.
WHEN WILL HUMANITY LEARN.

So much for my sustainable logging project to power the glass factory.
Haha, aye, I feel like all those trees I planted were just more fuel for Seeknoise's carnage.
I've not played any multiplayer MC at all, partially because of my intense fear that the above will happen.
Mainly because I don't have any friends, though.
Is this Seeknoise's fault?
Goddamnit, I have to write my Co-Op piece so that everyone can know of his ability to fuck with everything.
Any of the nightshaft crew could have been to blame for our-near apocalypse to be fair. But this time; yes .
Hey! To be fair, I was just trying to burn down a single tree in amongst a forest of trees when this totally unavoidable accident occurred. It wasn't my fault the fire decided to spread… =/
On a positive note, we'll never have to worry about any pesky trees within a 10km radius of us getting in the way of our (non-wood based) development!
Andy and I are going to plant a bunch of new ones because we're MASSIVE HIPPIES.
Hehe, the true reason is I use a bunch of wooden equipment since I keep dying and loosign everything.
Hey, maybe you could call in an airstrike on it… ¬¬
Could I ask what server this is? I'd love to get on some MC multiplayer.
It's my friend Alex's server, I believe, but I will ask if he minds someone else joining…
Ayup, this has been put on Reddit and the hits have shot right up. I'll have to resist the temptation to turn this into Minecraftian Rhythms!
It has also occurred to me the slight inappropriateness of this post given the news of real natural disasters in the world today.
All the same nice to see the site get a nice bump.
In fairness it was written and scheduled on Monday. If it had been about a flood then I would've taken it down!
Yeah, the traffic leap was quite something.
You could if you get some tnt – blow up some trees and create a gap
It's really not THAT hard to stop a forest fire in minecraft if you work fast with a team of people ( 5 – 8 )
Alas, there was just one guy online (the culprit) in the small hours of the morning. The server is only a small one as well – 8 max players.
