I've been expanding my Minecraft game a lot in recent weeks. I'm trying to make the move from casual player to map creator. I have been absorbing the work of many others you create YouTube channels and have started to assemble a collection of Minecraft links and resources on my Google+ page. Please check out the collection and let me know what you think.
I'll add more to it as I can. Minecraft is a great game with lots of resources on the Web to help you.
Some of the best ones for beginners are:
Minecraft Seed List
Minecraft Server List
Minecraft Maps List
The New York Times even ran an article last year on how popular the game has become.
