Which is what happens anyway, and (arguably) what Minecraft thrives on. So there's no real point to the obfuscation, except for bullshit piracy reasons.

Does dynamicheight alter where ores will spawn in proportion to the world height? i.e., if I go to a 256 world, will diamonds spawn anywhere below level 40?

This is why I love WorldEdit - megastructures can be done in very little time at all. I tore down the office building I made before and built an arcology instead.

We cannot know at this point, of course, but seeing as jeb_'s track record on Twitter is much more professional, he would need to snap pretty badly or add/change something in a nonsensical way. But so far nothing implies that he will.

When the API comes out, will we start seeing total conversion mods of Minecraft? It might be kind of cool to see what other people can do with the base game.

I want to make a dark train tunnel. Is there something I can lay tracks on that will stop spawning? Obviously the half-tile trick won't work.

Creating megastructures in survival using worldedit in my mind completely negates the point of survival. Why not just play creative at that point?

You could try digging 2 or 3 deep trenches either side of the track. It's not guaranteed to work, but if the mob moves much at all, there's probably a good chance that they'll fall down there.

Maybe not lay tracks on, but if the tunnel is going to be completely dark anyway, you can simply fill the space above the tracks with blocks that won't suffocate the player, such as half blocks, stair blocks, fences, fence gates, piston heads, etc.

edit: Wait, I can't remember, but this would still allow spider spawning, wouldn't it?

Well a one track tunnel would only be 1 block wide, spiders wouldn't fit. If you had it 3 blocks wide for two tracks and redstone torches (for powered rail) in the middle, placing full blocks every other block down the middle leaves you with no 2x2 areas for the spider to spawn on.

If you're cheating, it's way easier to manage the standard inventory with TooManyItems to the side. Otherwise you only get your hotbar to store items unless you click a crafting table.

Forming rigid social behavioral traits such as pointing out the obvious and expressing the use of metaphors that only mean something to the speaker, or herein, the poster quoted above are also quite common.

Another rather specific trait may include repeating sections of text or phrases spoken before, such as the punchline of a joke, that the speaker believes went unnoticed the first time it was said regardless of its reception by others.

I must be the only one that would like to see endermen be real aggressive in moving existing blocks to build something of their own. I'd just like to go down in a cave and mine and explore for a couple days, then come back to find that part of my castle may have been turned into a creepy shrine of some sort. I do understand that people put a lot of time into their creations though.

Yeah, Endermen moving blocks and then just putting them down wherever the hell they want isn't really that interesting. Having them be able to build their own structures would require some AI trickery, but I'm sure Notch Jeb will be able to competently handle coding it.

Endermen moving blocks so far has resulted in one of them teleporting into my secure area and placing a dirt block (with grass) in the middle of the floor. The biggest thing I notice is when they take out a single block of tree, which just looks stupid.

I think Endermen really just need the time they spend holding a block before placing it shrnak significantly. It seems like they only manage maybe one or two blocks each a night.

I think it would be hilarious if Endermen would smash windows instead of removing blocks. Just run around, smashing any windows they can get to.

I really want some kind of means in the regular game of creating zones where monsters can't spawn without using lights. Like some idol you have to either find or build, which you can place in a town area or your base or something, and then you don't have to worry about overdoing it on torches or having a creeper spawn in an area because of one glitched minor patch of dark.

Creepers and poo poo kept spawning in the town on the multiplayer server I play on. The pile of poo poo that is creeper AI meant they kept randomly exploding. My only option was to make a fortress with multiple layers of defenses and blanketing the entire area with torches. It's safe, but lonely. :(
