As you could tell, I'd like the game to focus more on building construction right now than mining - I have some housing ideas hindered by these lack of items and thankfully with the recent beta updates it's becoming closer and closer to being possible! I recently was very happy to find out that new slabs were added, until I tried stacking one kind of slab and another and nothing, it was instead placed in the next fully unoccupied space. :sad.gif: And this is the big one.
As far as I know, the block placement runs on a set of arrays, where each block space represents one element in an array chunk. What will probably have to be done is double the size of the array chunk and have each block in a chunk represent two array elements. Why? This allows slabs to be independent from each other when stacked, and be able to choose which half of the empty space you would wish to place the slab. This will also make slabs of different kinds to stack upon each other, allowing users to detail certain things such as wall designs and building styles.
Additionally, it's possible that the two-elements-per-block may solve some current bugs, like how the ladder can hold back water.
Anyways, that's the last of five suggestions I have. Don't know which ones will make it but it would be nice to see at least one!

sounds like a great idea for hiding redstone wiring a little bit closer to the surface.
Well from what I know, the ladder is actually a non-flowing liquid, and would not fuse with them
Anyways you are only talking about horizantal blocks, what about vertical halfs blocks (wish they we're implemented)
if something like that was ever implemented with your idea, they would need to divide by 2 again, anyways that is just talking about another suggestion, which might never happen
I wouldn't mind this, but it isn't really necessary, so if it is easy to implement, this might be added soon

These guys make awesome art for Mods (Items, New Blocks and Mobs)
I will be using them soon
