Publishing Original Ideas

I was watching EthosLab's video, Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 137: Slime Filter (well actually, I still am. I'm multitasking >:O Remember! Multitasking is highly inefficient! But if I'm blogging and watching Etho, it's all right.) and he started off the video making his glowing trees. Whenever I see it, I feel sick to my stomach because I feel as if it was my idea, but since I never made a video and posted it about it (because I have no computer screen capturing thingy), then if I made glowing trees, people might think I was copying Etho, but I'm not! It was my idea! I like putting the glowstone one lower than he does, so I guess there's a difference, but that wouldn't count in the eyes of the internet skeptics. *sadface* I think it really sucks, because I thought I would be able to have that idea unique to myself, and that it was special and exception and no-one else would have something like it, but nope, Etho also came up with it, and if I try and say otherwise, people will just have that "yeah right" reaction *another sadface*

I mean, I don't come up with many creative ideas, but when I do, I'm fierce about them. Among the glowing trees I did, I also thought of putting crafting tables in the ceiling (actually, I was going to do that in my Puzzle Map :'( ) and of that whole placing leather/iron/diamond on the crafting table for the quick way of making armor. see diagram below

" " = empty, "#" = # of leather etc in that slot
1 0 1
4 2 4
4 1 4
...(or you can use 3 instead of 4, but then you'll have to put down the whole pants design instead of just the top 3. The issue with putting 4 down is that you might make two sets of boots)

Anyhoo, I'm done for today. I've some programming to do. My ExpressionEvaluation program isn't working D; I'll probably talk more about Minecraft some other day.

Just ate dinner and happily watching Etho,
