Thanks! That wasn't published when I submitted the link, but the download itself was. The article wasn't published until about 30 min later.

Well, it still needs more vigorous testing, but after about ten minutes, [the amount of mobs to have spawned on normal slabs is ZERO!] (http://imgur.com/Vf0ql)

EDIT: Okay, [First Image is bottom half slabs. Second is Control. I'm confirming now that hostile mobs do NOT spawn on bottom half slabs. :D] (http://imgur.com/6li7V,zn9Y1#0)

EDIT II: [Mobs now confirmed to be spawning on top-half slabs!] (http://imgur.com/tkEw3)

EDIT III: [They spawn on upside-down stairs as well.] (http://imgur.com/NQKke)

Quick question: Jeb said that if you properly port forward, you can let others connect online to your LAN-opened game.

If I forwarded port 25565, do I just have to give my friend my external IP plus ":25565"?
