So, today I found out the hard way that building above the nether roof is not allowed. Perhaps we could discuss removing this rule, as I feel that it doesn't really add anything to gameplay, only removes possibilities.
Many farms need to be built in an area with no blocks around in order to run efficiently. Without access to the area above the nether roof, the only way to build a fast ghast/magma farm is to remove all the blocks in a large area of the nether, which is generally considered to be unsightly. Other farms require no blocks above them, which is obviously not possible while underneath bedrock.
I feel like the main reason that bedrock breaking was banned in the first place is that all methods of bedrock breaking are considered bugs. However, other bugs have been allowed on the server, including translocation, eggcatcher spawners, floating gravel, etc. Like these bugs, breaking bedrock does not upset game balance, so I feel that it should not be banned.
One more thing: This rule, like a few others including the "no building within sight of another player" rule, was not posted at spawn or on the forum. If the rule is not changed, could you please add it to the board at spawn so that it is more obvious to players?
