First of, minecraft isn't medieval. I always believed it was more man washes up on island. THE DUDE STARTS OF WITH A T-SHIRT AND JEANS! It's 1940's at earliest.
Oil has been around for ages, should be implemented, and just because Notch says he won't add it, doesn't mean he wont. If enough people want it, he'll make it. He wants to please us with this game, and if we want the game to have oil, he should go with it. In the end, it all depends on how many people want it.
It's more sensible than that square watermelon idea and I support that!
If minecraft adds watermelons, theres no reason not to add oil.
Thank you, the only thing I need to help spread this idea now, is a banner. :/
seriously though. how many people in the 1940s understood how the technology worked, let alone be able to rebuild it?
probably not many so if oil is added then I say there should be NO PUMPS.
you should just be able to pick it up with a bucket.
The poll isn't closed.... and how do you know this game is centered around the 1940's. If its because the technology isnt too advanced maybe its because its hard to find the materials on an island? I don't really know for sure though, and anyway for everyone talking about vehicles being a bad idea, I didn't love them so much either, I was just thinking about possible uses for oil, the only idea like that I really liked was the minecart with an engine, to make it easier to to ride minecarts, even up hill.
not a bad idea, but i think that if a torch is within 2 blocks, the oil reacts and either burns (80% chance) or explodes (20% chance)
however, i DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF VEHICLES. i can not see a point in them, you wouild have to have cities, towns, countries for their to be point, and it doesn't take that long to travelanyway. although they might be useful, they are not needed.
everything else though is a good idea and well thought out. :biggrin.gif:
And if anything new, brass would be better.
Your right, brass would be better.
That's a bummer :/
Who knows? Maybe he will.
The idea with it in oil blocks is good, and the oil pump would work, we just need a recipe for it and this could be added.
