Minecraft Name: OhMrsKittyKat Suggestion: Adding gunpowder (and possibly bones) to the mcmmo drops of soul sand. Reason: Soul sand does not really have any decent drops from it and this would give people a reason to farm it. Any Other Information: I think this would give people another reason to head into the nether. If it's possible, it could even be made to only drop gunpowder when it is dug up in the nether. Originally @t_bone199205 's suggestion
What are you talking about? Why does it have to be realistic? You're telling me that getting gun powder from gravel, getting apples from dirt, getting zombie and skeleton heads from a fishing rod is?
I'm sorry. I thought you said you were "realistic" and didn't like anything that wasn't. You only play the parts of minecraft that are realistic and have builders sing for your amusement. I didn't think you did all the other stuff. This isn't realistic. Perhaps I misunderstood you?
I don't like role playing and such, I find it pointless. That is when I said I like to be "realistic". As far as gameplay goes I don't mind it, it is a video game after all. Yes, I also do make builders sing for my amusement cause I do think it is funny xD
There is a possibility of finding music discs in dirt which isn't realistic, so I would imagine this be ok. +1
Let's keep this off-topic talk out of the suggestion, and emau. Don't flamebait. There was no reason to bring that up again.
My apologies. I had just woken up and ... sigh, there is no excuse, you're right. Sorry OhMrsKittyKat This really isn't a bad suggestion and I can understand the reasoning behind it. I'm on the fence. I think this should be an extremely rare drop if it is accepted. (0.05% - 0.1%)
Well, it would blow some life into the gunpowder market, and therefore also fireworks. So I see no reason to make it rare like that. I'd say it should be similar to the drops gravel used to have before it was removed.
I believe the only current ways to get gunpowder are by using /kit mobs which gives 2, ghasts, and creepers; both of which are extremely rare and only good for maybe 4-10 each depending on how well you can fish them. I would love to see soulsand have another drop use, and gunpowder would be a good option. Bones on the other hand are really easy to acquire, at my spawner I can get an inventory full of them every hour.
I feel that this is a great suggestion. It would encourage excavation training even more, and would also encourage alchemy training, because of the greater supply of gunpowder. It would make gunpowder less expensive, which most people would be happy about.
+1 As I was recently trying to host a fireworks show, I came to realize how painfully rare and expensive gunpowder was. I like the idea of adding a new way to bring gunpowder into the server and gunpowder as drops from soul sand sounds reasonable to me.
