Ever had that giant hole need filling? Need to get LOTS of stone? CEMENT is for you! Cement is crafted like so...

Where water is bucket o' water and the green is slime balls.
This will give you a bucket of cement. When Placed Cement acts SOMEWHAT like creative fluid. It will flow over and down until it has filled 200 blocks, or it has filled all downward area. AFter this if there are any single blocks of cement left on the surface, those blocks disappear. After 1 minute of no activity, cement solidifies into Stone, Voila!
WARNING! No picking up cement after it has been placed! If swimming in cement for a full minute, bad things will likely happen!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Probably enough to build a workbench.

First off; I'm sort of reviving this topic, but I wanted to post something about cement. I knew that it had been posted before, so I searched and found the latest topic about it. Moving on...
Why slime balls though? Do you know how cement is made?
Cement is a fine, soft, powdery-type substance. It is made from a mixture of elements that are found in natural materials such as limestone, clay, sand and/or shale. When cement is mixed with water, it can bind sand and gravel into a hard, solid mass called concrete.
Taken from a website describing it.
So let's see, aside from limestone, we have everything else, really. I'm pretty sure some chalk can go in there too, which we can use coal as a substitue for anyway.
We have Clay, Sand, Shale (would be found in Gravel). Add water, from a bucket, and you get something that can bind Sand and Gravel (which we also have) into concrete.
Now, I watched that video. And, really? A liquid that does what exactly? It had some sort of current and was everflowing until the guy destroyed the redstone wire... That made no sense.
How about something SIMILAR to that video though?
(clay) + + + (chalk) in a 2x2 crafting grid (formless) = 4 (Cement)
1 + 1 (bucket of water) = 1 (bucket of concrete). (formless)
Now, from the time you combine those two together, you have a set amount of steps, say, 100, before it hardens completely. This time is represented by a "durability" bar, which empties, just like tools. Once empty (on the 100th step), it turns into (Dry Concrete Bucket) which you cannot use for anything anymore. You just wasted a bucket and other ingredients, way to go :biggrin.gif:
But, if you DO drop it before that "time" is up, it'll flow like water, but it will act like if you had just plopped water down and picked the source block back up right away. Except that you won't have a full bucket of concrete anymore. The source block isn't infinite, it goes away fast.
However, if you place it right, the liquid concrete will turn any and all non-stone-based blocks into smoothstone that it touches within the amount of steps left to the bucket prior to dumping it.
Might turn mobs to stone too, which could then be "harvested" as statues. That could be interesting.
