    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main City Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Add cement/concrete to /smelt
    What are you suggesting:
    Add the ability to make concrete from cement using /smelt or maybe even another command.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It is a hassle to make using the normal method of pouring water on it
    Other information:
    Like I mentioned, if it isn’t added to /smelt, maybe create a custom code that uses the base of /smelt
    Plugin or custom addition:
    Couldn’t find one, but is basically /smelt​
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    -1 on adding it to smelt seeing as smelt is like a furnace. You dont get concrete by putting it in a furnace. You need water.

    +1 for making it a different command however having to manually make concrete probably helps its value tbh.

    Concrete is of more value as an attractive building material than a commodity. As a builder of large builds -- if I'm faced with the idea of either making or buying enough concrete for a major thing, I'm more likely to just decide to use something else. Which is a shame, because concrete is super-attractive.

    I don't have an opinion on the /smelt vs. other command thing, because I know jack s*** about programming -- but I would absolutely pay full price for a feature which auto-manufactured concrete from powder.

    A command would definitely be very nice, but not /smelt as strong mentioned you don’t smelt concrete powder to get concrete.

    Exactly! My current large build I am working on currently has well above 10k blocks of white concrete (with an almost equal amount for the remainder of it). It is annoying as fk to build with, especially when the final block is suspended in the air.

    I agree 100%. I just stated that because if it is too much work to make a new command, then at least put it into one that is already implemented, even if it doesn’t make sense.

    If it got it's own command, would be a neat addition to creations++

    I like it

    +1 even though I already had to make over 1000 stacks of it (but it will come in handy next time! :D)

    Though it makes sense as an extension of creations++, I could also see it being viable as a water+ feature since it deals with water.

    I'm +1 for this regardless how it's implemented.

    My thinking is that water+ is kinda fully featured in getting what you pay for and creations++ has always been a little lackluster with the promise of more (not to mention more expensive last I checked)

    This will not be added to /smelt.
    I'll see about adding this to a different command and adding it to an existing feature package.
    Added to our development to-do list.
    No promises.

    @Jdawger Please tell me the items you'd like to be convertible, and into what material. I need a list.

    Honestly please don't. It's good to have concrete be an expensive item. I hate it when we kill the Minecraft that's left on this server.

    If you want to make it easy, but it from the block shop, player market, or hire builders.

    Stop being lazy and play the f-ing game

    That’s still over $100 in features (closer to $150). Yes, it will be easier, but not that many people have access to the command.

    But the people who do will be able to disproportionately alter the entire concrete market, the most desirable of all the colored blocks.

    I'm one of them, and I think it's silly. Stop being lazy, hire builders or buy it.

    We should be advocating for things that preserve the Minecraft of this server. This is how we piss off new players.
