    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.

    Sorry to derail slightly, but we need bones added to something also! Perhaps both could be restored to soul sand, the new excavation gravel.

    Wholeheartedly support this, even if it is just gunpowder.

    Adding bones back to soul sand might be a good idea. Idk though. Keeping them out of mcmmo makes them slightly rarer and therefor more valuable. But then again, it would just be nice to have them back the way they were. I'm fairly neutral on the possible outcome of bones here.

    I've been waiting for this suggestion. We need gunpowder back somehow, I can't make random fireworks. :p

    Also, with gunpowder taken out excavation has made less money and is no longer worth training as much.

    Good idea but how about we wait a week so that I can sell my leftover gunpowder while it's "rare".

    +1 This would be great for people with nether and this would give people more reasons to go to the nether that has been alittle alone in then.

    I also think it would be a good idea to re-add gunpowder to at least something. As Fleet said, with gunpowder out of gravel, excavation doesn't make as much anymore and thus isn't worth training as much anymore. Personally, I think gunpowder may have been taken from gravel to prevent players from lagging the server with "gravel monsters" and simply forgot to re-add it to something else; however, soul sand doesn't fall and can't break the new rule about gravel monsters, thus lagging the server.
    Also, we need gravel back! We can't make money or fireworks without it! :eek::(

    We definitely need a way to get gunpowder now and without gravel, there is no way. Like others said, soul sand doesn't have gravity, so it wouldn't have the problems gravel had with gravel monsters. It would be a great thing to add and I support this suggestion.

    +1 We need to be able to get gunpowder from somewhere. Creepers are exceedingly rare.

    I want somehow to get gravel easily for fireworks. In farmnation, I made a fireworks display build. I can get the materials semi-easy but the gravel would be coming out of my back-up emergency stash incase prices shoot up. With gunpowder being nearly impossible to obtain (rare findings of creepers and ghasts, and you only get so much gunpowder with /kit mobs and there's a cooldown), I've had to delay fireworks on the display :( Since I use about 2 gunpowder for the rocket and 1 for the star, its sort of, hard. In other words fireworks are expensive decorations and for rare times now for me :(

    +1!
