Because I thought it was worth discussing... I'm re-posting this suggestion with the 2 things altered/removed that flagged this topic originally as a wishlist.
I have a few suggestions for 4J and the community for unique to consoles items and blocks. The first one is Corn which is planted like wheat and when harvested yields 2-4 cobs and 2-3 stalks. The cobs can be fed to horses, (when we get them) or placing one in a furnace gives 1 serving of popcorn which gives you back 2 food bars. The cobs can also be crafted with wheat, eggs and sugar to give you cornbread which acts like cake and each slice gives back 1.5 food bars.
The stalks can be used as fuel, or combined to make thatch for building. The thatch can be further processed in the furnace into bamboo-like blocks which can be used exactly as you would normal blocks and crafted into stairs, slabs and just for kicks a new fence type.
The other idea I had uses items already in the game to craft stews, (soups?). A meat, a potato, a carrot and 4 bowls gives you 4 servings of beef, pork or fish stew which gives back the same as mushroom stew.
As a last thought you could use the stalks to craft armor (Samurai style?) which falls between leather and iron.
Please note that this topic is only related to Corn and Corn related by-products and the crafting of such. Again, this is not my suggestion, but seemed worthwhile for consideration/discussion to me.
Yeah, I'm not too keen on the whole armor thing either, technically, samurai armor was made predominantly of lacquered bamboo, not cornstalks, and we already have sugar cane if we were willing to substitute any reedy plant in place of bamboo.
The Corn-Thatch blocks sound interesting for building purposes, especially for island/beach scenes...not too sure about why processing thatch in a furnace would give you something that was bamboo-like though.
I don't see the point to any of the quoted suggestions. New food items seem pointless when steak and pork are very easy to obtain and fill the most hunger anyway. New armor is simply unneeded. The "thatch" building block might be coming to consoles in the form of the hay bale.
While I agree the console versions need more exclusive material, I would like it to be something that adds to the overall experience of the game.
I like the idea except for the armour part , that's just weird , I think we should be able to eat cobs but with 0.5 hunger restored and it gives you a stalk . Anyhow , it a fairly good idea and I do want some Xbox Exclusives.
love the spoiler gag that was awesome. as for the corn idea. love it. anything to add to he realism of the game.
as far as making bamboo items. you need bamboo for that. i like survival games that make sense. and corn and corn related items, makes sense in minecraft. i support. boom
basically you never want new armor or food, even if it would be an exclusive feature?
I never said that now, did I?
There is no need for corn since there are other foods that serve the same purpose. They're basically carrots and baked potatoes, but with less hunger restored.
As for the armour, it'd rarely be used in survival. Farming seems to be something that people don't begin to do until later, so most people would have at least some iron at the ready.
I'm all for exclusives. This one is not one of them.
We don't need anymore low tier armor options. Gold and chain are already between iron and leather.
If anything, we need a tier of armor between iron and diamond. I like the topaz idea. Found in the nether at lava level, more durability than iron, slightly more protection, and it gives constant fire protection/resistance.

So no support.
As for the thatching...well, if the source of it isn't necessary, then it wouldn't be there either.
Stay fluffy~

We have tonnes of foods now already.
But... It could have many other uses.
It could be used for things like Dye, "armour", Soup, etc
