About
Hello everyone. Today I will tell you about my idea of the infinity block. First off infinity is a number that is unlimited. It is like you are in creative and have unlimited of this kind of block, but your in survival with unlimited of this kind of block. Instead of having no number, or having 1000000000000000000 as the bottom right number, it simply will show the infinity symbol. The symbol is like a sideways eight.
How to spawn
Well the normal way to spawn an item is with the following command
/give <playername> <data-value> [amount]
Let's say we wanted to spawn infinite amount of wood. The command would be
/give <username> <05> [00]
As shown above it would give Username infinity wooden planks. The data value for wooden planks is 05 and infinity can be expressed as 00.
How would this help?
Well there are many ways this can help, and many ways it cannot help. One way it can help is some server owners decide to give Donators or high ranked people creative mode. Well perhaps one of these owners wanted to just give them unlimited wood and cobble stone. Well there we go. Just give the donator the infinity blocks and he/she has it.
Maybe you want to use a despencer, and not a command block to make a roller coaster. Well infinite number of minecarts would help wouldn't it? The same thing with boats. Maybe you want to have infinite boats for a river. This also helps since items are not stackable past 64 00 would express unlimited.
Additional Features That Can Be Added
* Infinite can be shown in all creative inventory.
* Whenever you take half one half stays infinite and the other half becomes 64
I hope you enjoyed my idea. I do not exept all good replies twords this, but this was only made because I had the idea, and who knows it may even become in the game!
The Deal With Plugins
As stated in a post someone mentioned that trading in smp would have a problem. This can be fixed.
For example Chest Shop. If you had infinite blocks then it would act normal and let you keep selling to the shop.
The creator of the plugin would notice it, and he/she could just add in the config file something like allow.infinit.sell=false/true

This isn't a bad idea. I'm pretty sure it has been suggested before, but not in this way, so you're good there.
I support. It will be a bit tricky to code, just because unless Jeb makes the number entry a double entry for string and int, the java compiler will immediately take it down to zero. He'll have to make it both a string input and an int input and check the string every time the code recognizes the input as 0. However, he's the creator of minecraft, so it shouldn't be at all a problem for him.
I like this. It would help map creators with dispensers and make a decent gift in SMP, though if there is a shop with tradein it could lead to problems.

Thank you. Yes it could lead to a problem. I would most likely suggest if it was added chest shops would have to change the plugins configuration and perhaps rules for people who donated for unlimited block, or got a hold of one.
I had this idea once, but you've explained it far better then I could have. You have my support!

"You don't honestly care if your new Crystal Meta-Sword is going to clash with your Elite Boss Clogs! It's about the numbers! You want the items with the best numbers so you can use your numbers to decrease the enemy numbers until your numbers are the best in the land!" -ZeroPunctuation
It should be -1 instead of [00]. Amount is expected to be an integer, so [00] won't work.
I see your point, but -1 would be negative. Perhaps they can just put 0 or an x anything to just be in the digit spot. See if we had no number there we wouldn't know if we had 1 or unlimited blocks. The only way we could make it work without being 00 is by making whenever you have 1 block it show a 1 and then we could make infinity blocks show no number because you will always have a digit at the bottom right of the block. Then to spawn infinite blocks you could just simply type infinite for the number perhaps.
It would be fairly useless for everything other than dispensers, but then again infinite dispensers would be pretty good.
Though, with the command block update that's expected for 1.4 you'll be able to have items be injected straight into the player's inventory, infinitely.
Still infinite arrow dispensers would be handy. Support from me.

It will work. If you understand even basic programming, look at my post above, post #4. It will take a bit of expansion to the code, but all he needs to do is have it be entered as a string, and then check it whenever the int comes up to zero to see if it contains two digits or not.
Right now it is expected to be of the value int in the code, but with a bit of shuffling of code it isn't that incredibly difficult of an addition. It would certainly be easier for Jeb to make it so any negative integer makes it infinity, but it is just as possible to make it 00, and I like that entry better anyway.

Yes I get what your saying how it can be really useless. I just think it would be a good addition to the game.
Thanks for the support!
Actually, I think this is already sorta implemented. A stack of zero items acts like a stack of infinite.
No the only way to obtain a stack of zero would be with mods. After seeing what you put, I attempted to give myself zero wooden planks. It didn't work. I then tried with the command block, and it still didn't work.

Being easier is the point. There's no reason to use strings and convert (lots of extra code and operations) when "if (int < 0)" works just fine.
Yes, and what else are you going to do with a negative number? Count down to negative infinity?

Well the coding could be put simpler like I said. They can make it where whenever you have 1 block instead of having no number at the bottom right they can make it have a 1 and infinite blocks have no number at all. They just would have to find a way to make an infinite block be noticable from the rest.

It can display an infinity on the item, but negative numbers are the best way to parse it.

Please read the whole post. It states this will help for servers without using creative mode and it can make despencers never run out.
