1.2.5 stuffing spawn

[007coolcube]

Yoday I heard that 1.2.5 was coming out soon! Awesome! But then I heard that snow blocks will melt when close to light.....in that case spawned is screwed <---sorry if I cant say that one forums. In spawn there is _alot_ of snow, most of that snow is above or below glowstone. So we either need to replace the snow with wool or Zerg patch it up. Any ideas on what to do?

There only melted by Lava, torches etc.

Well most of spawn is snow I know because I was there...... White wool looks nasty though.

[007coolcube]

So white wool is not a option? Then what do we use? Tolitet paper?

[kieranchocian]

Or we could prod zerg with a stick until he makes a plugin that prevents it...

[cruiserman]

I guess I can live with white wool make a poll

[SirDukem]

was it an april fools joke?!

[007coolcube]

Dukem it's not a Joke buddy and im not sure how to make polls

so... playing around with the 1.2.5 pre-release i decided to test snow on top of Glowstone, jack o lantern, torch, and lava source... after 20 minutes Still no effect. Nor in the 1.2.5 changes does it say anything about snow melting... or even on the wiki page's upcoming features! So I'm curious, Where did this presumed rumor start?
