"Fire Spread Now Disabled"

What do people think?

Yes... Even if it for 1 hour

I would totally use this! It shouldn't be hard to implement into the game either. +1

Yes, great idea!

Would lag be an issue? I'm not familiar with how much strain fire puts on the server, but not many people would probably use fire spread anyways, so I don't think it would be too bad.

Fire can lag just a little bit, but not to much that would make it a issue. So I think it will be fine.

A lot of fire can lag more than expected. I lit a jungle on fire with the new snapshot; 10 minutes in I was laggin down to 15 fps, within 20 my client crashed. Bearing in mind I use a computer that normally operates flawlessly at 100-150 fps. I do like the idea though.

Pros: People can make various challenges in their realms, as well as just making it more wild/dangerous. They can also just do it to make it more realistic/natural. Note that fire spreading has been somewhat limited in 12w40a (I think), making the complete prevention of fire spreading much less of an issue.

Cons: Lag, inconvenience to those who wish to simply go through the realms to get to the other side (what a bunch of chickens!), and the time it would take Intelli to code it (most likely not much).

I'm in favor of this, as long as the lag isn't that much, and as long as people aren't allowed to restrict access with it in place they couldn't restrict access with blocks (for example, around spawn). Intelli is quite a good programmer, and though I don't really know what I'm talking about, I suspect that it would be fairly easy to code this feature. In any case, it would be only be one-time thing to code it (yeah, that's what they all say...), and it's really Intelli's choice (obviously), unless he wants to promote ShaddowDemon and have him code it.

After careful consideration (not really), +1 from me.

p.s. I actally voted yes as soon as I saw the poll.

This is a good idea. +1

I voted yes, because I have had several projects postponed because I like building in the middle of nowhere where millions of trees love to hold hands and piss me off.

Fire is a good solution for the burning of the happiness.

I support this 100%
