Maybe I'll sound like a whiny oldfag in this thread, but I miss the abundance of sheep in my worlds. I can honestly say I haven't seen a sheep in MineCraft-weeks. Dying sheep any color before shaving them has become a thing of the past and now getting and making dyes for wool can only result in 1 block of colored wool at a time.
I don't want to use up ANY wool because it may be the last I'll get in my world, and I'll need to make beds.
Luckily you can use the Strings from the plentiful cobwebs to make wool, so I was thinking about suggesting the following:
Using 8 pieces of String and one type of Dye, you can make two colored Wool blocks of the Dye's color.
It's less efficient than dying and shaving a sheep, but more efficient than dying one Wool block at a time at the cost of one Dye at a time. The recipe of making Wool out of 4 Strings is awkward enough so I won't touch that.
Make sense but, Why don't you adventure in Mincraft? That is the point of the game to get to know the world you are surviving or try to at least in? They did that so you might have to go out for a Minecraft day and find a sheep or two and maybe find a cavern or something. So the idea is good but it kinda defeats a survival point in Minecraft.
I think I'm surviving pretty well since I haven't died even once, so going out and "discovering" randomly generated terrain defeats the point of surviving if it decreases your odds. I don't want to make fancy stuff and then leave it for the Endermen to slowly dismantle.
For all clarity, I build my bases next to natural caves so I'll be going back and forth to get Iron and Gold and whatnot, killing skeletons and zombies underground. Getting dyed wools has become a real troublesome thing lately.
I don't want this topic to end up having had only one reply other than my own.
You know what, I'm bumping this up for the night and call it a day. I'm leaving a pot of tea, so anyone who responds to this thread can help him/herself to a free cup of tea. Sugar and plastic tea stirring stick things are in the cabinet in the kitchen, get them yourself.
I'm suggesting to color the Strings while in the process of making Wool out of them, kind of like so:
= String = Any dye
What's the point of dying the Strings and not dying the Wools? I'll tell you why:
You can already dye the Wool at any given time, but that would require a Dye per Wool block.
Dying the Strings while in the crafting process of making them into Wool would allow you to Dye TWO blocks of Wool using only one Dye, though this is only possible IF you have enough String and IF you have a Crafting Table at hand.
I was hoping that would be balanced enough in comparison to be able to getting to dye whole Sheep and getting up to 4 colored blocks of Wool from them when you shave them.

This phrase should never be used in reference to Minecraft.
