While looking for the new world in the future, we will be looking at creating multiple uses for a good handful of items that really only have a few uses for them. Take a look at the list below and come up with some reasonable uses for the items. Cactus Netherrack Soul sand Nether brick End stone Gold Ingots/nuggets Flint Reeds/bamboo/sugar cane Paper Clay block/items (balls) Brick ingot/block Slime balls Redstone dust Gunpowder/sulphur Feather String Snow blocks/balls All dyes Sugar Zombie flesh (?) Blaze rods
Well i'm gonna copy and paste your list, and edit in ideas as i go, maybe i can come up with an idea for all of them Cactus Netherrack Soul sand - stops fall damage. (thanks super, i love the idea) Nether brick End stone Gold Ingots/nuggets - Restores healing powers of foods. Flint - extra weapons, e.g spears could add 2 blocks to hitting distance. Reeds/bambo/sugar cane Paper Clay block/items (balls) Brick ingot/block Slime balls Redstone dust Gunpoweder/sulphur Feather String Snow blocks/balls All dyes - Making custom paintings. Sugar Zombie flesh (?) - poison weapons. Blaze rods
Gold Ingots/nuggets - i like gili's idea of temporary invincibility Flint - i like the spear idea Paper - i know that there is a mod that lets you write in books. not sure if it is available for smp Feather - enables temporary flight :lol: All dyes - i like the custom paintings idea. Sugar - eating it gives temporary super sprint Zombie flesh - - i like the poison thing Blaze rods - shoot fire a short distance :lol: Maybe some of the combat things could only be available on the game/pvp map?
derp... Here's a link that shows exactly what Minecraft 1.3 will bring so people don't make the same mistake as me http://www.mojang.com/2012/07/minecraft-1-3-info-snapshot-w27/
In 1.3 you can write books, and for the blaze rod one I think making tools with them that make light the enemy on fire would be better, and using the weird fire ball thingys that shoot out dispensers noone knows how to craft to be used as a throwable firecharge.
Gold ingots/nuggets as, what to make them a item for a recipe... not the armor! This isn't for effects of existing items in game, more so, what to use them to craftable items with them. Shnaffle... What?
Ok, add goldingot to any food and it becomes what it used to be - as in it heals you rather than feeds you.
Maybe Soul Sand could stop your fall without you taking damage. Also, maybe you could get water from cacti?
Just after I'd reread that I must have accidently highlighted and moved a massive chunk of text into the wrong place, I don't understand it either :3 I think that is more how that should have read. XD
