Too bad you said anything. I was looking forward to hearing back when people discovered that the map's edges extend 7 or 8 blocks past where they could actually go in-game. Also, the border guard doesn't port you back from where you came, only back to the inside by a few blocks. So it would be funny hearing from people who were wandering perpendicular to the border and ended up being ported back a few blocks and embedded into stone.
Whilst I haven't tried looking to see whether the blocks can be mined in game.
I have spent time walking perpendicular to the edge of the map at the western border, like a goldfish swimming round the edge of its bowl. A couple of times I've been down caves and tried with a bit of frustration to reach for blocks that would be forever beyond my reach. ^^
What can sometimes happen when you try to go past the border is that you are bounced back and sometimes you can also end up being ported to the surface, if there are blocks behind you.
One time I ported back, I ended up being ported into a patch of cactuses, that I had planted to define the edge of the map.
