it's actually representing a torch (which is much thinner than a block).<br /> <br /> I guess you can say, every coloured square on the map is a single block, but it's colour may be different to it's actual colour based on having something on-top of it which is actually smaller than one block (torches, signs, doors, ladders, flowers, etc).<br /> <br /> Oh, and also in-game the blocks are not solid colours, or sometimes not even close to those colours.<br /> <br /> Still it looks like the new darker map images are improving things - if you head north from the Citadel until you reach another shaded area - the dark green in there is grass, which used to be coloured purple as you'll see if you look at the surrounding areas.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div
