goal: burn 15 items in a furnace (as fuel)

Lexingtonius2 months ago

cool idea! could by like a 5/10/15/20 or something

wait is the goal to smelt unique outputs or use unique items as fuel (ik it says as fuel in title but i feel like the meta would just be a bunch of wooden variants no?)

fuel would be just wood items slop

8

15 sticks or 15 leaf litter but it does overlap with some things ig

Smelting

Smelting is the process of obtaining refined goods from raw materials by heating them in a furnace, blast furnace or smoker. When items are smelted in either type of furnace, some experience is dropped. Like crafting, smelting uses recipes to determine what item is produced.

fuel sources sorted by burning time

closure2 months ago

bamboo is fastest at 4 items per smelt

pilliamw2 months ago

fuel would be interesting if it wasnt for the dozens of different wood-based fuel sources

pilliamw2 months ago

but idk how you can phrase the goal in a way that isnt clunky

pilliamw2 months ago

because imo burn time is just way too steep of a knowledge check

closure2 months ago

not really imo, it's pretty intuitive with the "size" of the item

pilliamw2 months ago(edited)

a fishing rod has the same burn time as a wooden log

pilliamw2 months ago

that doesnt really feel intuitive

closure2 months ago

but like when are you burning a fishing rod instead of 15 sticks

closure2 months ago

also if it means you learn more about the game that's cool

pilliamw2 months ago(edited)

the goal is unique burn times no?

closure2 months ago

no it's any items

closure2 months ago

as fuel

closure2 months ago

unique burn times is too much i agree, maybe unique fuel sources

closure2 months ago

would be interesting

pilliamw2 months ago

the problem with unique fuel sources is then its just wood slop

closure2 months ago

oh that's what rowl meant

pilliamw2 months ago

yeah

pilliamw2 months ago

imo unique outputs is more interesting

pilliamw2 months ago

bc then you could overlap that with X foods

closure2 months ago

i agree yeah

pilliamw2 months ago

and smooth stone for whatever goals need that

pilliamw2 months ago(edited)

like stonecutter and furnaces and armor stand and stuff

closure2 months ago

wood slop does overlap with crafts but it's also not fun to just feed items into a furnace over and over

pilliamw2 months ago

actually theres a fair bit of interesting overlap with furnace outputs i think

closure2 months ago

charcoal, foods, mining

closure2 months ago

like cracked deepslate and ores

closure2 months ago

prolly can be a separate post if you wanna make one

closure2 months ago

cause its cool

pilliamw2 months ago

should i link this post there then

closure2 months ago

u can say smth like idea came from this thread maybe

noura 🜛2 months ago

op do you mean 15 unique fuels

noura 🜛2 months ago

or 15 items in total

emusicOP2 months ago

i was thinking unique items, bc there are so many items like wool/leaf litter/saplings/wood crafts that could count.

otherwise, “burn x number item/items as fuel” could be accomplished by just using coal. which seems kinda silly

noura 🜛2 months ago

idkk fuel is kinda annoying to manage

spicedspaghetti2 months ago

fuel would only be fun if it was like coal, lava bucket, blaze rod, items with long fuel/burn times

emusicOP2 months ago

yeah that's fair. in defense of wood items slop though, craft 20 items goal is also mostly wood slop, and a lot of other goals are pretty much just 'slop'

but yeah they more i think about it, the more i don't think it's the greatest idea in the world.

it did lead to this thread tho (https://discord.com/channels/1493030345048719483/1530968315155976374) which is going in a much better direction
