With the announcement of maps, the thought came to me that we should have a way to make notes of important locations. And I realized: We already have ink sacs, and we already have feathers. What we need is an ink bottle.
So then I broadened the idea to bottles in general! Crafted from a certain glass recipe, these bottles would be able to hold ink, water, maybe even milk. The water could be used for health recovery, as well as the milk.
With the milk, I thought that it should become drinkable from a bucket, which restores maybe 2 hearts. But you can also pasteurize the milk by putting it in a furnace and place it in a bottle, which would heal 6 hearts, due to the more complicated and resource-heavy process.
I know, I know. Bottles have been suggested a million times, but I feel the announcement of maps has re-invigorated the possibility. Yes, no? Good, bad? Potato, Potahto? Either way, let me know what you think.
I'm not going to bother flooding the board with new posts and instead bump this one with my next idea: crates.
These would be a singular object made from eight stumps, rather than eight wood blocks. They would have the same storage space as a normal chest, but with the ability to be stacked adjacent to each other in infinite amounts. Also, they produce a nice aesthetic warehouse look.
Yes, I've heard of signs. Ever played a Legend of Zelda game on the DS? You could draw and write little notes on your map of important things to remember, rather than having to go back to the place you were trying to remember.
Signs are nice, but they're a bit stationary. No need to be rude.
