Today I messed around with Minecraft 1.3, which came out a couple of days ago. Had a bit of fun with Kieron on his server, but it was incredibly laggy and eventually became unplayably so. Noticing that iron and gold ore, because they drop themselves, don't give any XP to mine, I decided to attempt to make a mini-mod using metadata so that blocks spawning in the world would give XP and drop as a different meta-data block that would not give XP. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work. I'll try again once the Forge API has updated -- that way I won't have to edit any base classes.
