Can mobs spawn on slabs? This is incorrect. Upside-down slabs are valid for spawning; this was introduced in the same update that allowed redstone to be placed on upside-down slabs. |

Why is the facilities in Portal 2 so much different from the first Portal? You might be interested in this video from GDC 2012 about the development of Portal. They specifically said (about the fancier elevators) something like "players won't care", that they consciously ignored consistency in favor of graphical improvements. |

Can you blast bedrock with TNT if you have enough? As far as I've heard, nothing has changed (and Minecraft Wiki doesn't report any recent changes either). Note that the property commonly referred to as “hardness” does have a special indestructible value for bedrock, but hardness applies only to digging, not explosions. |

How can I bring zombies down to one-punch kills in Minecraft? @jeffreylin_ Can't say; I've been occasionally pondering this problem for a couple months, and I of course read all of the previous comments. |

How to destroy a chest using redstone in minecraft? @AlvinWong Thanks for the nudge! It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in the design since hoppers have a transfer rate much lower than is desired here, but it's worth mentioning. |

Can I get snow and light at the same time? There is no such thing as "stopping the heat". Snow melts at block light level 12 and that's all. |

What's the difference between these stone brick blocks? Note: The bug described in this question no longer exists, and stone brick stairs now drop as themselves rather than blocks. |

Is there a difference in speed between the spider and cavespider? Regular spiders get stuck on walls more often since they're so wide, so cave spiders are faster in practice. |

Which files trigger VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) to go off? (It's not exactly the same question, but the the answers contain a list of what is not VAC-cheating.) |

Minecraft - Two servers, two subdomains, two ports, don't want to type in :port to connect @Tillman32 Eh? I just picked out a random *.no-ip.org address and looked it up, and I got an A record, not a CNAME record. (A is what maps hostnames to IPs, after all.) Using such a name in the SRV record should work fine. |

How fast can I deal damage with a weapon? I'm pretty sure this is false - Haste is for block breaking rate, and you can attack as fast as you can click. DPS is limited only by the invulnerability period of the enemy. |

Conditions for skeleton spawning @Meraj99 I see you've accepted my answer already. No need to do that if you haven't confirmed that it works for you yet! |

Conditions for skeleton spawning @Meraj99 Just added how you can tell whether a spawner is active. |

What counts as a walled zone in Towns? Source? Experimental data? |

Are there any cave systems generated in Minecraft Pocket Edition? The game mode on desktop Minecraft doesn't affect world generation. Why do you think it would on Pocket Edition? |

How do I light this hollow tower of Redstone Lamps? Gave this a try, didn't think of anything. (In case it helps, note that the interior pattern doesn't have to be 2 high, just a multiple of 2, as long as it provides power where it needs to.) On the other hand, it would be trivial if you wanted to light a ring every 4 blocks... |

What makes a Wither Skeleton spawn? @minecraftrocks2me The block a torch is in has level 14. Count down by one for each block away from it (in any direction). |

How do you build an End portal in the Nether? I've investigated the world data and found that the exit portal is actually made of identical blocks to the entrance portal, so I disagree with your note. However, that does make it reasonable that, since it swaps you between End/Overworld, it wouldn't make sense in the Nether. (Don't know what would happen if you copied a portal in.) |

Is there a way to disable scrolling to the Spy-disguise & Engineer Build/Demolish menus? @SteveV. Well, according to my answer there, I invented it independently... |
