I think it's happening, although in the meantime you could lower the floor next to a mountain to make it appear taller. You could even empty a lake/sea and have a ready-made valley. Emptying the sea takes quite a bit of work.
Yeah I know you could build that kind of thing with a lot of time and effort, but that's not really the point. I'd like to come across something like that while exploring and build something in/on/around/near it. I like the idea of building a house on a mountaintop (and then obviously hollowing out the mountain to make an evil lair), it can be a very beautiful game in a strange way. :')
Does anyone know of any minecraft mod that can edit blocks from an API in real time?
I figured it'd be pretty easy to edit the map files from a web interface (I've already written code to read it, so writing wont be hard), but I'd like the updates to be real time.
All this time looking at the dynamic map and I've just realised it's got an isometric view. I'd seem a couple of mentions of iso in the chat window but assumed people just meant the top down map. It's so much smoother now it's updated.
I wonder if the increased height for 1.8 will apply to old levels. How much difference will that have on bandwidth requirements and will it be optional?

Notch doesn't read this forum, and he's probably the only one that can answer those questions.
(Because nobody outside Mojang knows how it is/will be implemented.)
You'd have lousy grammar if that's all you did. :P
The dynamic map does seem a bit better now.
Although it's now only got in/out zoom buttons - no ability to instantly zoom to a specific level which the slider provided. And my mouse wheel doesn't zoom unless I scroll 3+ clicks quickly, which is stupid and annoying.
Seems the colours have changed /again/ (for no apparent reason?) though not as significantly as before.
Oh, and the squares that were not loading before still aren't loading. :(
"I wonder how much difference will that have on bandwidth requirements and will it be optional?" Could be worse :P
I don't think I used the slider, just scrolled my wheel instead so that doesn't bother me. I'm just happy the speed has increased, I was finding it very slow when zooming right in and scrollling when zoomed in.
