Spheres in Vanilla?
Cubes have been a part of Minecraft since it was first created, with other shapes - spheres in particular - long thought to be both impossible, and out of place. However, the recent Snapshot revealed a curious quirk in game mechanics that would let you create spheres, rings, and other similar shapes using a trick of redstone, as demonstrated by Logdotzip. Give it a look, and see what you can come up with yourself!

Doesn't really matter to Steve!
To Steve!
This can lead to some really interesting stuff.
Also, my mind's been blown.
No, I'm just kidding. This update is freaking amazing.
Imagine, flags, rings for Sonic adventure maps, spaceships, using railroads makes moving sprites possible, Spock, plasma ball (glass ball, red and blue and purple wool for the lightning, lightning constantly flickers everywhere. Plus, plasma balls are amazing.), and so much more.
I know it's probably an accidental feature created by a small detail, but it's amazing nevertheless. Sad it had to wait a few bland updates.
If it stays.. Minecraft isn't really the game of blocks anymore :'(
Based on this is "expert" command stuff, Minecraft will remain blocks. (Except in some adventure maps)
It is not a real, genuine sphere that you can touch. It is thousands of blocks made to give the illusion of a sphere. Very similar to high quality pixel art IMO.
Oh, wait, I actually meant FTW!
This is cool, but, uh... squares. Squares. Cubes. Pixels. Blocks. THIS WHOLE GAME REVOLVES AROUND squares, NOT CIRCLES!
Sorry for the rage, there, guys.And... I love LogDotWeenie!
I'm aware it's not an actual sphere, but I still don't really like the idea of it.
Spheres and other shapes would be great for builders like me, I want more detail in the game. Cubes get boring after a while.
1. This breaks all my logic on Minecraft logic
2. I see people making stuff like triangles, stars, and more........lol remembering back to 1.2.5, everything seems like a dream of playing with a mod xD
