Because Netherrack is overwhelmingly common in The Nether, that would make getting gunpowder way too easy, or at least, even more so. Netherrack already has the benefit of being ignited forever.
Netherack like gravel? Mother of god....... It would be extremely hard to dig yourself out in a netherack cave if that happened.
He meant for it to 'act like gravel' in the sense that gravel doesn't always drop gravel, and can sometimes drop flint.
I think maybe being able to get a 'nugget' form of gunpowder might work (IE, 9 nuggets of gold make a gold ingot, 9 'nuggets' of gunpowder a gunpowder unit). A possible name could be "Netherdust", and Netherdust could perhaps be brewed to make weaker splash potions.
However, that still gives too much gunpowder. It should go one level lower to "Spark essence".
So: Mine Netherack for Spark essence. Craft 9 units of Spark essence to get 1 unit of Netherdust. Craft 9 units of Netherdust to get 1 unit of gunpowder.
Giving Netherack more of a use would certainly give more purpose to inter-dimensional transport.

Or we reduce the chances of it coming from netherrack by at least 10%
I like the idea of netherdust, except 4 units composes gunpowder not 9. weaker spash potions also sounds great.
When you're trying to build an epic nether building, I'm pretty sure netherrack is going to clog your inventory full, why do you need ALL that netherrack?
I'd rather just have Sulphur Ore spawn in the Nether, which drops either gunpowder straight up or sulphur crystals which you refine somehow into gunpowder. Also, I'd agree that gunpowder or something else should be able to be laid down on the ground like that.
No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...
So you don't stack up on netherrack If stacking up on it is such a problem then don't mine it.
for that reason, JUST FOR THAT REASON.
OK, THAT'S SO LOGICAL. Yes. Just for that reason. It's very logical.

5% chance of netherrack creating Netherdust on mining.
4 netherdust placed in a block formation create 1 unit of gunpowder.
agreed. if it was a 15% chance then one trip to the nether could give u a inventory load of gunpowder, which would be wayyyyyy to overpowered.
My eyes lit up and a single tear rolled down my cheek.
I'd kiss you if that wouldn't cause you to violently detonate.
Enter that and you'll score one hundred thousand rupees for us both, along with a spiffy card!
.......... violently detonate? are your kisses explosive? : P

What's up? I'm the proud co-owner of a little ClassiCube server called Minebuild.

Sometimes, you just need a little more cave.
So you don't stack up on netherrack

I am ninja'd far too often.
Want me to edit it so you don't have to read the entire thread? Ok.
or -1 me with your mind. One of them is less frustrating.
