Stone xp change

[DoubleKiwi]

Stone should get it's experience bumped back up to 1, instead of just 0.15. This would have been acceptable had caves remained useful, but now that the only way for us to find ore is strip mining, our main source of experience when mining is stone. With hostile mobs granting at least 24 experience each, you would have to mine 160 stone blocks to equal the amount of experience given by a single spider/skeleton. With monster spawners around, mobs are giving experience several times faster than mining.

You're implying that all methods of getting experience should be equal, which is not the case. Also, smoothstone XP is set to 0.1, not 0.15; you're getting a 50% XP bonus because you haven't specced yet. It'd take 240 smoothstone to equal the experience of killing one spider, and much more time, but there is no measure to the difference in danger or difficulty between the two methods.

Umm... just yesterday I explored a cave and had ore show up all over the place. Torches anyone?
