Youtube vid of bedrock being broken
Are we sure this vid wasn't faked with a map editor? There was much debate on reddit about this.
 * It was the general consensus that it was indeed done with a map editor for a couple reasons. One of them being the fact that  because this was done on a frozen lake, the first TNT blocks to fall would expose the stationary water below.  Not only would this prevent TNT that fell into the water from destroying blocks, it also makes the massive dry crater impossible because TNT cannot remove water or lava source blocks.  The other main issue is that even if is possible to destroy bedrock with TNT, it is highly unlikely that the explosions from individual blocks of TNT would carve out a perfect sphere like the one shown in this part of the video.  On the other hand, clearing a sphere of all blocks (including bedrock) is a common feature in Minecraft map editors.  When all this is taken into account, it becomes pretty clear that this section should either be removed or reworded to reflect the dubious authenticity of the video.

Breakable
I think it's breakable. Once I made mountain with an absurd ammount of TNT. We (it was in a SMP server) have a base with two floors, the first one made of obsidian and the second one made of bedrock, the obsidian floor was blowed up and we saw a floating bedrock block, we were able to collect it

Breakable?
Is it possible to break in Alpha/Infdev?
 * No Toadbert

How deep is Alpha?
Does anyone know how for down bedrock is Alpha? 501st_commander
 * Deeper than 32 im pretty sure.Toadbert
 * Bedrock is at the bottom of the map, between 0 and 6 layers thick. It is entirely possible for your map to have no bedrock, though rare. CyborgDragon
 * I've been told it's 64 deep from sea level. I remember having sort of tested this, but I'm not sure. Also, the skylimit is 64 above sea level. - DuoNoxSol
 * The map is 128 blocks tall, from top to bottom, the bedrock at the bottom is 6 blocks thick (spattered), and sealevel is at 64 blocks.

The Nether
I think that the nether has two layers of bedrock - one at the ceiling, one at the base. Can anyone confirm this? Sompresneo

/solid?
Doesn't seem to work. Tested as a mod on my testserver. Nothing happens. Also placing a bedrock direktly from the inventory does NOT kick me from the server. Don't know how to get rid of it now though. :/ Matti-Koopa 08:55, 5 November 2010 (CDT)
 * Well, it has to be in Classic (not Alpha) and you have to be an admin. -F1racer101 00:23, 17 November 2010 (CST)

Name confirmed?
Has the name Bedrock been confirmed by notch? -F1racer101 00:23, 17 November 2010 (CST)
 * I'm not sure, but it's widely recognized enough to be official. I believe Notch has actually called it bedrock in his twitter feed. - DuoNoxSol
 * Upon editing the material into your inventory, the inventory mouseover text in Beta confirms its name as “Bedrock”. Mr. DOS 18:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Article on Bedrock not up to date :p
I think some of the information provided aren't quiet correct anymore?

1) It is now possible to place Bedrock when given by Admin via Console on SMP without getting kicked, though it is NOT possible to remove it ingame.

2) The /solid command doesn't exist anymore. --Brand666 04:06, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Amount of TNT needed to break Bedrock
On the page it says Bedrock is so solid it would take 4.5 million TNT to break. Where does this number come from? Is it real? JesusChrist666 02:56, 3 March 2011 (UTC)JesusChrist666
