Re: 4.64 Balance Observations & Discussion

I think It's more efficient to use high efficiency sticks than planks, you get 1 bonus unit of smelting time per two planks I think.

Re: Speculating on BTW's story and narrative.

I think slime is naturally heavier than water, and slimes have no moving parts to swim, so they just drown, there's not much to read into I don't think slimes drown if they don't have lungs and slimeballs are neutral bouyant in water. How I think of it is that the slimes pick up dirt and sometimes ...

Re: Speculating on BTW's story and narrative.

Maybe it could be energy leaking from the ender portals that might spawn zombies or in other ways infect the villagers as those portals are somewhat near the spawn.

I don't see anything that looks like sandstone. To me it looks like wood planks, jungle logs, glowstone, smooth stone, and stone bricks.
wirer might be referring to the yellowish bricks and pillars.

You could use eggs to make pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie is useful because it uses no wheat so it won't slow down your cow/pig farm and just uses the output from your pumpkin, sugar and egg farms to make a food item that fills as much as bread. personally this is my only use for my pumpkin and sugar farm...
