In 1.8 we are gaining lots of cool new blocks and items to use. And while I know we wont be able to have ravines and strongholds and mineshafts and rivers on the map, I believe it would be nice if we could still acquire some of the new materials. I guess what im trying to say is since its impossible for us to acquire melons pumpkin seeds and stone bricks ( because we cant have strongholds) Mods should distribute these things around at the start so we can start growing them naturally, and stone bricks because they are a beautiful building material, so maybe give each town x amount or put them on shop.

So in other words you mean we would have portals to other worlds?
