I thought ores were random when it comes to altitude, as long as they're near their equivalent of a lava pool.

Feh. Blockland would be a way better tool, and it's cheaper than a textbook...

Uh, Obsidian is really a very very fragile rock.

I was talking about the generation of ores in minecraft, not IRL.

[Fredulus]

you were saying that real life and minecraft were the same.

I said that they're the same? What?

I said that it teaches something about ores and whatnot.

[Fredulus]

which would imply they are the same/similar. because usually when you teach something in school you want it to be factual.

I only said that they are similar, even so, in only one category.

I think students would enjoy playing a game more than reading text, frankly.

[Fredulus]

Oh yes, because school is about enjoyment.
