    Brief Description:potatoes that are smelted in a furnace

    Open Discussion:One of the main ways I make money is by selling things for a profit to the server. After a while i noticed that for some reason baked potatoes are the same server price as regular potatoes! I think that this should be changes because baked potatoes are worth more than regular potatoes - you need to cook them with either coal or a cooking pot, and they restore a lot more hunger. The obvious assumption would be that they are sold at a higher server price than regular potatoes, but no they sadly aren't. I think this should be changed, as it will not only fix the price problem but make potato farming more common and another easy way to earn income. It might even add to the economy over time! Also, I chose $0.70 as the price because the extra 20 cents is what you'd spend on coal/charcoal.

    0.20 is too much of a price difference, maybe an 0.05 increase si they are $0.55

    People farmed those?

    Probably nothing regarding the price of potatoes, carrots, or wheat will change until a fix for the redstone lamp problem is out.

    Mods after the redstone lamp problem is fixed will you look here and think about it a bit?
    Also about 20 cents being too much of a price change your right it should be 10 cents.

    It shouldn't be too hard to stop people doing it, it can easily be stopped but it depends how permissions are set up on ECC.

    I like the idea of potatoes increasing in price when cooked, but you have to consider that you can get xp from cooking which is a bonus in itself (and can be sold). I've pretty much stopped farming all together since price drops and spend most my time mining.
