Notch has mentioned Land claim flags. I hate the idea that people will not be able to make or destroy blocks. It would take all the strategy out of wars and thefts. So, I have made some ideas that would allow people to have security, but not a total sure thing.
First, indestructable block covers. The biggest outside invasion threat to the lone minecrafter is tunneling. I don't care if you make a 50 block thick iron wall, people will get through it. They will just make a tunnel under your base, and go up. So, I think there should be a way to make the bottom side of a block indestructible. This is my idea:
Iron block cap:
[iron] [iron] [iron]
Where iron is ingot, and ob is air.
After you craft this, right click on a block to have the bottom become indestructible. There is not getting it back. If you hit any of the other 5 sides, the block is normal strength.
The placing method is the same, except it does it on the surface you are pointing it at. When someone walks within 3 blocks(?) of the direction it is pointing in(Besides owner of said block), action is set off. If you break the block, some thing. To set an action, right click on the block once placed to bring up a menu. There are two(?) options. One is alarm. If someone other than you and trusted members(set trusted members in the block menu(will have options for set all, and just disable ones you don't want), a message goes off to all trusted members of the block. The second action is to destroy block. Go into the blocks menu, hit set all or individual block. When you hit the button, the menu closes and the first block hit click on is the one that is going to be destroyed. Good for lava trap or falling pit. Note: Land claims will prevent making and taking blocks when the user is not online.
Edit: New ideas.
Sand/gravel suffocation:
Gravel and sand could be put under your base, but this just stalls the thief. My idea is that when sand is covering you, you suffocate, and build time would be about one tenth the normal. Also, no getting into your backpack inventory. If you have a shovel and food, should not be a problem, unless the base's owner is well prepared with huge stacks of it. I think thieving should require good tools and preparation.
Water mining:
Some people have mentioned that they build over water, as to flood tunnelers. However, all the thief needs to do is mine a hole at the top. I suggest that a solid iron block should not be destructible while the miner is submerged. This way, you can build your water holder in an iron room, and the thief is in serious trouble!
I get what your saying. But I believe that everything is the chaotic to be used as way of telling the future. Sure, I was going to type this, but two asteroids hitting each other did not cause that, I did, by being myself.
No, it would not go back to were it was. Someone else would eat it. And insults are very immature in a discussion such as this. The future IS going to exist. It currently does not, but I know it will.
I still think it needs to be harder to make... As long as diamond picks could get at it, and TNT could blow it open, I would love this. I would start a bank.
I, am myself. From the beginning of time, I was going to be myself. I am doing exactly as I feel. The only way to do something is through will, and so I never make decisions, I just act out what my brain feels like. Even if it is predetermined, it will not matter. This feels real enough to be free will, so why not just leave it as that?
The only reason I am typing this is because I want to. i just decided not to capitalize the first word in this sentence. By doing so, I changed the future. I, by myself, changed the future.
This is a very difficult subject. I see no good way, except for building secretly. Also, if we have really big servers, that means a town will most likely start. If the town is big enough, I think there would always be someone around to stop people.

Thats the point. If you want protection, you have to work for it.

You deleted it for rock? There is tons of rock underground.

Two: Pressure Activated Block
Wire(times four):
Block:
Where log is wire.

Discuss some more idea, and I will add them.

And I know there is no future, but there is going to be. The sun is going to go down today. Thats the future.
