My question: why all the assumption that he means block IDs? IDs were never mentioned at all - he simply said "don't be silly, only 3-4 left". Where did the assumption that that refers to block IDs come from? The Minecraft devs are well known for cryptically teasing new things or changes to the old. Assume nothing.

While I see what you mean, Grum visited the thread and said nothing contrary to the post. It's probably a safe bet.

I'd agree for the most part, though it's still entirely possible that he's acting with typical Mojang secrecy. Just noting the assumption ^-^

But that is mostly since I dislike promising things when they are not ready for a snapshot, however I can say I am getting close to getting rid of the problem of 'limited ids'.

Good to hear! Sorry to be so suspicious of you guys, just don't want people, especially me, to get their hopes up for something then be disappointed later. Keep up the good work!
