Well, I don't deny nor confirm my involvement with the creeper face mafia.

But I do remember taking a leap of faith and breaking one piece of cobblestone next to an Iron Door, but I immediately replaced it correctly, as far as I can remember. It was the door blocking the corridor you get into from a breech in the wall covered by a wooden door facing the lake and the tower in the middle of it. If I remember, that wasn't even the correct entrance to that labyrinthical compound. I don't know how I got in there, and I sure don't know how I got out either!

This is the only thing I'm not proud of. Needless to say, if there were redstone, water, lava, sand or gravel it would've been a very ugly mess. This is the only block from somebody's building that I ever broke. Gladly, it was harmless, but it could've been very much different, and I fully regret doing it.

In any case, today I am going away for a week, so your buildings, cakes and cactuses should be safe for the moment.

Hatches

[Nagy]

*mutters* I was just about to post that.

He mentions fixing a bug with not getting walking sounds when walking on a fence. Does that mean he fixed getting stuck on it?

[Oberon]

I'll have to plug on with the HGC tomorrow in preparation for this.

[Pisces]

Sounds like hydro-elevators won't work anymore. And my dungeon killers, which uses lava-heat in one of the corners.

[Arclight]

Does he have a list of everything he's going to break yet?

Hatches... darnit. Just build a roof on something because we didn't have hatches, no he comes up with hatches.

And fire was nerfed! Yay. Little late for some, but yay none the less.

If there is nothing there you are more than welcome to build. As for reeds, replace whatever you harvest from the farm and you're more than welcome to take reed from there

[mkeab1812]

Excellent!
