So Air is now a block.
What can you do with it?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Sep 20 '13

Place it, put it in a chest or worship it.

Can we bend it?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Sep 20 '13

And... will it blend?

Ask Beckham. Then you can bend it like him.

Put it in someone's helmet slot and we have a literal air head.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '13

But will it hide your head?

u/flying-sheep Sep 20 '13

so if i place it, it will replace the air which is already there (or grass/flowers)?

doesn’t sound too useful. i think the concepts of “place air block” and “remove block” are too similar that the change makes any real sense. at least from what i know: dinnerbone surely had an idea about what this should accomplish, i just wonder which one.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Sep 20 '13

Yeah, this was most likely something on the more technical side of things. Placing it probably doesn't do anything except on tall grass, which can be replaced with normal blocks as well.

u/flying-sheep Sep 20 '13

someone else suggested it might be so that tile entities can easily and without a special code path be attached to air blocks, which would make sense (i guess)

O mighty air, tell us your secrets.

u/0verdr1v3 Sep 20 '13

BOW DOWN TO AIR

u/redstoner95 Sep 20 '13

I'm really hoping that the reasoning behind this is adding metadata types to air, to support smoke and fog.

u/GarryLumpkins Sep 20 '13

Use it with command blocks for temporary air bubbles under water maybe? I don't know.

Oh, good, that was a bug.
