I've seen several threads (and video) of this happening in SMP (not SSP) on the official MC forums. It seems like it might be a bug in Bukkit, which thankfully we're not using, but I'd rather play a bit to the safe side.

Huh? All it would require is a flammable roof material, or if you have a nonflammable roof, a tree near a flammable wall.

Admittedly, though, yes, it would require some seriously bad luck.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
