Hey, why not use wool as fuel? A burn time of 15 seconds for each block wouldn't be bad, as having 8-9 sheep constantly growing wool trapped in your back yard, you'll have plenty of fuel!

Comments, suggestions, feedback. I'm sure this must've been suggested before.

Ehh, you already can?

Oh. Well then, silly me. Please lock this topic :\

Because wool is flame retardant.

Really? I thought it'd burn up like hair :\

GAAH! My apologies, this is what happens after an all nighter. I thought you were talking about Wood not Wool. :laugh.gif:

Please, get confirmation from indev to see whether it does or not. That will give irrefutable proof.

I'm confused, sorry, I don't actually have indev or infdev, but I know a bunch of stuff on it. I thought wool couldn't be used as fuel, so I suggested it. Maybe we could have plenty of use for it once we trap a bundle of sheep.

except wool is self extinguishing due to the way it burns

Well, in infdev, wool is burnable outside of the furnace, but not in the furnace itself. I use it as to make wicks in setting off TNT.

Could you burn SHEEP too?

I can just imagine flaming sheep running around setting everything on fire.

Sheep are burnable, as are pigs and other mobs.

You just need to set fire to the ground they're on and they run around on fire.

Oh. I just got indev recently so I haven't tried much.
