I used the give command to give myself a double tall flower with damage value 6 and it broke my single player map. It crashed and I can't get back in. I used an external editor to change the double tall flower to damage value 1 and that didn't fix it (it still tries to render it as value 6 according to the crash report). I also changed the block id of it to 1 (stone) and that didn't fix it. Ended up reverting to a backup I made yesterday (I always backup a map before using my map editor on it for the first time that day...thank god!). I haven't lost almost anything but I had visions of people intentionally doing this on people's multiplayer servers to nuke worlds (hence the private security level on this message, but for all I know it could be single player only (I doubt it)).

Uh, how is that not an exploit? anyone with enough server permission to use the give command (not always full ops required) can erase the map.
Please do not mark issues as private, unless your bug report is an exploit or contains information about your username or server.
