What? How do you get this out of that image? You can put 64 tree logs into the crafting table and it'll only show what you get for one. So.....you wouldn't think the logic would apply to this as well?

Trading, meh. Colony collapse syndrome needs to be fixed first. What's the easiest way to repopulate my SSP village? All I can think of is to use some sort of inventory hacker to get some villager eggs and go hog wild.

My village had sudden and total collapse. They just vanished. Every last one of them. It was a large town too. Plentiful villagers. I even lit it and fortified it to keep most of the mobs at bay, and wandered around at night slaying the stragglers. As in mobs, not villagers. Loaded the map yesterday and saw a villager frolicking on a nearby sand dune. Didn't think much of it at the time as they tend to do that. Evening came and I started noticing there were no villagers. Went through checking every single house, the ravine, the desert, plains and water. nothing. All gone.
Did they fail to load, self destruct of get Alzheimers and wander off?

Wouldn't gold coins make more sense than "red" coins? You could make coins yourself out of gold nuggets, and turn coins (back) into nuggets.

Hell, I would be happier about redstone if I could make a decorative shiny red block out of it, like with lapis. It would also be cool if they carried a charge (maybe damaging, if powered, now that I think about it) but just a block would be nice to use the huge stacks I invariably accumulate.

Is the ravine fenced off? Unlike everything else Villagers seem to have no problem wandering off cliffs. I actually had villagers going 2 ways, wandering down one hole, and falling through a hole in the river nearby. I'm trying to heard the ones I found in the desert there, but I have to get them through a jungle too and they seem content with doing nothing but hiding in their houses.

I gave them double doors though, they're a lot less annoying with double doors.

Just being able to make it into a block that you can break down back into dust for storage would be great. Getting a silk touch pick and storing it that way is a pain.

To be able to store 15,552 dust. To be able to have a bigger variety of goods in a single chest instead of a series of redstone chests taking up space. To be able to start a redstone project without having half your inventory taken up by dust.

Having a shiny red block would be cool and using less space to store more things is always good. I don't get why you'd be against that.

Hm, if the block of redstone could carry a charge maybe it could also do a vertical thing so you can get a charge upward without a staircase.

Visually, having a hard red block would be pretty nice.

Gameplay-wise, imagine a block, capable of conducting power from all 6 sides without needing dust sticking off of it. That includes top and bottom. It would make redstone projects so much easier.

I don't know why they haven't done a redstone block already (since every other mineral, bar coal, can be combined that way) and given it that property.

I'm not against it, I just think it's less than useless really. And before I go on I'll clarify now that I understand they can easily add both, but I'd really like for them to focus on implementing something like the Mine/Hack gameplay elements or the Dwarves vs. Zombies game mode before they add another half-baked block

I think it's really cool that we're getting an actual unit of currency that isn't tied to a type of block. This would have been handy back in the early beta days...a server I played on had a block based economy in place for the sole purpose of buying Nether blocks because portals didn't work in SMP.

Has this been posted yet? SethBling's at it again. It's a cool game called Tower Control where you play on teams of up to 9 people and try to take control of the opposing team's two towers. To do so you can try to secure the three towers in the middle and give your team advantages, like a sniper spot where you can get free health, extra potions when you spawn, and shortcuts to the enemy base. It looks really fun and I'd love to try it.

Yes and no. They could get to it if they tried, and I did lose one or two to the ravine, but it was a healthy population and a large town which just totally vanished one day. Such a shame. Just as I started to get the town semi secure they go and do that.

Perhaps red coins will be like copper coins.

I'd be surprised if there weren't yellow coins too. It would also solve the stacking issue if you could convert 64 red coins into a yellow coin or something like that (you know it won't be a sane 100 in Minecraft). An even more valuable blue coin based on Lapis would nicely complete the primary color set.

Go down to the east end of the peninsula, on the beach, as far east as you can go. You may have to go to the north-east corner of the beach to make sure you hit it, because I just clipped the edge of it on my way down. As far as I can tell it doesn't connect with the surface ravine, but I haven't fully explored it in that direction.

Roughly where are you digging now? I might be able to give you better directions from there.

Huh, doesn't look like gravel. Gravel has browns/reds mixed with it and the gravel texture is a lot more pixilated looking (for lack of a better term), that looks like a smooth texture with lumps forming here and there... Yeah, zooming in on it that is definitely not gravel unless they changed the texture to look like lumpy clay.

The village in the upper left looks a bit off as well, but I can't put my finger on it. There seems to be a stair like block sitting on a flat roof, but it has way too many steps.

So basically, when it's done.
