Using the idea of Skirata of dividing each block into smaller chunks, I came with this idea :
Because divinding each block would be too much trouble and eat 64x more memory (maybe in minecraft 2 ) Gold blocks could work that way ; because it's quite rare it wouldn't eat much more memory AND because it doesn't have much purpose except clocks and pimp suits, it could add a little more depth, like making gold sculptures.
When you craft a gold block with 9 gold lingots, and you put it on the ground (or elsewhere), it divides itself in 2x2x2 (or 4x4x4?). So then using a pick, or I would say a new tool (sculpt tool?) you could mine the segments to make a detailed whatever sculpture. :smile.gif:
That would be a nice use for gold, while still keeping gold as pretty much a display of wealth. You could make almost life sized statues of creepers out of GOLD, which would be awesome for a trophy room.
I'm assuming the ability to divide up would be for gold-only, or could it be for diamond and iron too?

well, for iron, this sculpting thingie would be a little to much memory-eating because iron is pretty common. but since diamond is rare too, it could be sculptable!
but then again it's up to Notch to decide if he puts this up
personally, I would prefer the sculpting only on gold because iron and diamonds already have abilities
I concur, this would make a good use for gold while still making it useless for practical reasons (other than lightning fast picks that degrade equally as fast).
I support.
