Pool vars sound okay, except that you couldn't use these then from a workspace.

Another idea would be to just use symbols or strings, and look them up in a dictionary in the API methods (blockId isNumber ifFalse: [...]).

Or, add them as methods to the Minecraft object so you could say "mc glowStone".

Do what feels right to you, all these would even be compatible :)
