If you can build through lava like you can through water, since the lava is only one layer thick when it passes over the edge, it's just a simple matter of building a lip right up to the lava and shunting the flow to the right or left.
Unless somehow it gets many more layers thick depending on how large the flow is. Then that's kind of excessive because you won't have any viable method of getting into your house without a switch that shifts the flow somewhere else.
Either way it's been proven that somebody insane enough can plow through a one layer thick lava curtain and still survive.
.....
Which is why you build MULTIPLE lava curtains over each other.
you cant build through lava directly like water, you can build on the edges of blocks exposed though.
Fire is the big one. It's pretty much useless, causes huge amounts of lag, and is can easily spread even in accidental cases. Just remove the damn Flint and Tinder, remove the Lava sets things ablaze feature, or at the very least make them simple optional features.
i liked fire before notch "fixed it" last update. nice and slow.
notch "fixed" fire by making it stupidly fast and making logs burn forever when theres fire on top. stupid really. fast fire is not what we need for SMP
I can see where you're coming from with all that, but I disagree about people who are trying to build things in Creative are playing the wrong game. I don't like creative, because it's boring. Too much freedom, it's basically just a 3d editor with cubes and (sometimes) gravity. If I feel the desire to make a digital 3d structure, I'll use Google Sketchup.
What I like about alpha is you actually have to mine the materials, and plan how you're going to get everything. That's what makes building a large castle such an accomplishment. I don't see why this is not a legitimate way to play the game... mining materials and then building thnigs with it. Seems to me that even reflects the game's name.
was about to type this up, but swing said it perfectly.
i only want to play with people who have constructive personalities. the other day i was talking to a friend of mine about minecraft trying to get him to play the game, and then he was like "haha XD i would so be a greifer on that game"
needless to say i dont plan on encouraging him to play minecraft anymore. if you want constant idiotic ahnihalation of the landscape, fine, make a server for it. only problem is you will never get people who build stuff for you to destroy. if you go to another communities server and start griefing stupidly, you will be banned.
i use whatever suits my current project... if im by the beach, wood floors and cobblestone frame, floor, and ceiling. if im building a castle or some kind of warehouse i will use stone.
