Preface:
I absolutely love the new halfblocks, my houses are so much cooler when the floor is inset a bit (makes my roof look taller :tongue.gif:) and I was thinking about how there are only 4 types of half blocks, Notch could add up to 16 if he really wanted to.
The Actual Idea:
I thought it would be pretty funny (and interesting, as not all these halfblocks would be silly) if there were halfblocks such as (Stone(0), Sandstone(1), Wood(2), Cobble(3),) Cactus, Pumpkin, Glass, Mossy Cobble, Obsidian, Glowstone, Dirt, Brick, Bookshelf, Snow, Clay, and Netherrack to make 16 kinds
Notes:
Maybe Log, wool, workbench/chest/furnace, TNT, note or music blocks, soulstone, Sponge if it were ever re-added, etc should be added, but it would require an entirely new wool halfblock for all 16 types of wool and ANOTHER block type for the other ones made from the functional items
Log would take up 3 damage values as well since it has 3 types now...
So, I dunno about THAT many half blocks. It might be fun to make TNT doublesteps though to make it seem like your house is VERY DANGEROUS :tongue.gif:
And for Cactus Halfblocks, They wouldn't grow and wouldnt break if you put them right next to eachother... maybe they should hurt you if you stack 2 on eachother though? but I think that would also require a new block type... so maybe not :tongue.gif:
Conclusion:
It would be fun and interesting to have so many halfblock options in my opinion, and I hope more can be added.
Why don't you think it would be good? It wouldn't waste block values since you can just expand on the current halfblock's damage values (unless you wanted ALL solid blocks to be half-able, that would require more blocks to be added)
I think it would be a fun addition.
If anything, Notch could at least add the practical ones like Log, mossy, and a few other easily obtainable blocks to expand on the current halfblock system.
Yes, Netherrack and Mossy Cobblestone steps would make me very happy, the other types of block are just for "oh that would be interesting" or "hahaha how silly" effect.
I approve of netherrack, mossy cobblestone, brick and wool halfblocks. The rest...eh...no.

"Minecraft? Realistic? Really? This is a game where you punch trees to get wood, you can make the wood into wooden planks in less than five seconds, and trees don't fall even if you remove a piece of the trunk from the middle. This is a game where animate corpses, giant spiders and exploding green terrorists emerge at night to hunt you down, farm animals run rampant across the countryside, and you can stop the flow of molten lava with a block of snow."
Half cactus? Impossible, really. That would be murder on the poor *******.
Murder on who? Notch or Steve (at least I think that's still the Minecraft Player's name)?
They would only be for decoration, and you could stack them double so they look like real cacti, but don't hurt you :tongue.gif:
(Of course this is all still hypothetical)
Or are you thinking it would be murder for Notch because the cactus blocks are already smaller than the normal block width? I'm not sure how that would change anything..
