Gold has always been usable so what are you talking about?

its in beta 1.2

nope just looks nice, look it up in minepedia

Yeah, with dispensers traps will be very easy to make with a hidden pressure plate.

Why don't you just make a roof? And according to minepedia sandstone cannot be climbed.

Minecraft's Predicted future

2011:

Minecraft Beta revives Secret Friday Updates every Friday
Current SMP will be 90% bug/lag free
New SMP addons will either work or not as a whole
SMP servers are now listed, and the IP address is only used for private servers
Notch hires up to 10 more people
Minecraft "Friends" added (actually branded as Co-Miners)

2012:

Minecraft receives first Aether look (with a bit buggy block functions)
Minecraft has 4 versions:
-Classic
-Classic-survival (a slightly less Alpha for free testing)
-Beta-Stable
-Beta-Unstable (used for experimental stuff)
Minecraft Beta will have a rather large update to move it to Post-Beta/Pre-Release
A polished and better looking texture set if officially named Default
Painterly Pack (which has grown 5x in variety) is now supported by/funded by/part of Mojang
Minecraft receives overall unofficial Game-of-the-Year by every game reviewer (still not released, so unofficial)
Minecraft hits an average rating of 95%
Minecraft "baby-boom" forces Mojang to have a few dedicated servers to keep the website running at all
Texture-pack changes December 20th to resemble a apocalyptic zombie world, texture resets on the 22nd
Notch post-pones Post-Beta/Pre-Release in favor of a second massive update including a polished Aether

2013:

Mojang has grown by 25 people
Notch announces the Core (unnamed at the time). Allows SMP servers to connect to a global "gateway" world (no building, no destroying, but rather a way to go from 1 server to another without going to title-screen)
Forum explodes in controversy (complaining people will hack the Core and grief)
Mojang rebuttals and says the environment will disable the hotkey-block-bar and placing/removing blocks and be monitored by Mojang employees constantly
Minecraft Beta gets its App and appears on console/Steam
Valve attempts to sponsor/buy Mojang/Minecraft, Notch declines - Minecraft&Steam unaffected
Core game-play is shown
Pre-Release said to be along side the Core update
Another Halloween Update
Minecraft gets first functional areal transportation (hot-air-balloon, glider and Bi-Plane)

2014-2020 (Summary):

Creeper-Apocalypse (named during Alpha as Zombie Mode) mode released
Pre-Release and Core come out
Massive amounts of bug fixes
Microsoft attempts to purchase Mojang (community panics/rages/attempts mutiny)
Notch refuses (community celebrates)
Small additions
Mojang's size increases
Core server replacement (24h downtime, community rages)
EA attempts to get Mojang "under its wing"... failed (community brightens up)
Released (Early 2015)
Population spikes
Minor bug fixes, updates
SMP and Core overhaul (so much activity it was required)
Popularity hits its peek
Demand for second by community (Notch wishes not to kill Minecraft that way)
Official Game-of-the-Year (2015) with a 98% rating by most reviewers
Number of Minecraft clones spike
New genre of game brought about by large Minecraft holiday update
Minecraft popularity dies down with the new range of games being released
Minecraft popularity hits the lowest in 11 years, being at the level of popularity it was in Alpha
Mojang releases third game (first game sold in stores). Sub-titled after Herobrine/Creepers

2021-20XX:

Minecraft dies, Minecraft 2 said to be underway (starting 2026) as a relic to Minecraft 1. Notch is known by 98% of the internet, the other 2% are under the age of 6
2028: Minecraft 2, massive popularity spike, large let-down (apparently it was like an update of the first (Minecraft 1.5))
2029: The Minecraft 1 Core server shutdown
Mojang only follows up the Minecraft series with MC2 updates/fixes after 2032
2035: Minecraft multiplayer shuts down completely (aged servers)
Minecraft Guy and Notch are made Video Game Saints (2042)
Minecraft is only remembered by the admired/old school video-gamers
Internet/Video Game Notch Day is dedicated to the 4th day of the 6th month (64, "Notch's number")

TL:DR
Minecraft grows in popularity, spikes when released, dies down, Minecraft 2 lets community down (nicknamed MC 1.5) Minecraft dies around 20 35. Notch is given the 4th day of the 6th month (64) and becomes a saint.

THis actually seems pretty accurate up until about 2018

those images for that new game look like minecraft in early development, perhaps its the dungeons and ladders adventure mode

The main problem i see with this is that you have to already dig the mineshaft before you can add the lava which you need lighting for

Is griefing going to be a problem for guests? I have a pretty nice build under way which isn't that great now but in the next few days is gonna end up pretty awesome, i'm just worried about whether other guests might destroy it, I put down signs to mark my property, think that will be enough?
