    I still think itens should flow/fall through trapdors, specially if water is flowing above it.
    Because we are not getting grates soon.

    posted a message on Is it me, or did mojang go a liiiitle bit overboard with the whole, fire spread thing
    I heard that it depends whether or not the chunks are loaded. Have you considered that?


    Some fire mechanics in the game as it is are stupid, that is the point here.
    It can spread through 3 vertical layers of non-flammable blocks.

    And don't even get started on the "heat" argument as a reason to the spread. We are talking about a flint-and-steel lit fire spreading through 3 meters of solid stone.

    If a simple flint-and-steel lit fire can spread through 3 meters of stone, then they better change our FURNACES to burn things as well, after all the heat of a furnace that can SMELT IRON should be enough.

    This is kind of a trademark of Mojang trying to "fix" something.
    Remember Enchantments.... there was a time when people was unsatisfied with enchanting because you had to spend 5 hours of grinding (without dying) to reach level 50 (and wouldn't even guarantee a good enchantment)... unless you had a mob-trap to cut the time to 20-30 minutes.

    Mojang then changed it to the complete opposite, making leveling arithmetic progression, xp from ores and spawners and max-level 30.
    After that people complained that was then TOO easy. Now everyone reached level 30 within 5 minutes of mining coal in the nearby cave.
    So for the third time Mojang had to rework enchantment balance to please the players.

    Now, in a analogy, "once upon a time, fire would spread like crazy and people complained... Mojang decided to nerf it... but they nerfed it TOO much and then people complained again, so they decided to turn it back to something similar to what it was before the nerf... but it was TOO powerful and destroyed florests and houses easily so now people complain".

    With the enchantment, Mojang decided that a middle-term (half arithmetic, half geometric progression) was the best balance and that pleased the players and ceased the complaints.
    When will they notice that with the fire the middle-term would be the best?

    This is one great example of how difficult can it be to place blocks on a 3 high space (like the OP says):



    IMO the perfect mechanic is the one used by the stairs.

    Strange... shouldn't you get the black hearts from the fight?
    And what about the glowing rings around the Wither when it's half low on it's health (that prevents arrows damage)?

    Thanks Dinnerbone!!

    Once I made a post listing all the positive aspects of using the saddled pig instead of horses as mounts! Finally it will come true!

    The different foods for different animals is a great suggestion!

    Quote from DontStealMyBacon

    Really? Hmm, if it was me I'd prefer corner stairs and not what you have pictured. Anyway I would assume that they would be like minecart tracks so they wouldn't change after being placed.


    Uhmm... so if your house is close to your neighbor's house, you'd connect your roof to his into a single roof?
    Cool... I wonder who will pay for the roof repair when you need it.

    ps: I hope you're right on that!

    posted a message on Dinnerbone! Lecterns and more!
    Wow I'm really excited about lectures!!!

    Right after writeable books were added this was one of the first two things that came into my mind. But my idea was that books would be placeable anywhere you want, just like cakes and brewing stands, etc.

    Next thing was bookshelves as book containers (so obvious, but yet to be added)
