Is it possible?

The smallest map size that seems to show up on the client is 16x16x16, probably because that's Minecraft's size of a single sector.

What's a minecraft sector?
Sekstor?

16*16*16 does NOT work.

This is just a guess, but I assume a sector is an area that minecraft does all it's checks in. So the map is divided into many sectors, each keeping track of the blocks inside of it. The reason to do this, is so that the game doesn't work on the whole map at one time. Once again, this is just a guess. I'm probably wrong.

Yes it does, I made one today and was playing in it until I got bored. Very quickly.

So I assume you don't know if I was right about sectors?

16*16*16 does work. by sector do u mean allocation/cluster size of 8kb (8192bytes)? isnt every block 2 bytes or am i mistaken?
