Sure. Until there is only x and z for parameters. Which one is in the middle? You re making an already unintuitive system even less understandable for serverowners.
It does matter when you use commands that take coordinates as parameters. Switching y and z will bring you to a very bad place then.
Yes, every command you use that has coordinates as parameter. Try to use z for y and y for z and start pulling your hair.
Take a chill pill and read OP again. Statement was "day 1, the moment you light up a campfire". Thats pretty specific. Nobody counters the possibility to get screamers on day one. You just have to do MUCH more than just lighting a campire. Thats just the same old old fart way of ranting about something that never happens.
Oh, take another chill pill.
Statement of OP was BS.
"Screamers on day 1, the moment you start up a campfire".
So again: made up for "reasons" or a bug. Which the old fart just could have put in. But it was too good of a change to do "his thing" again. Maybe some professional help would work. But i highly doubt that.
