Screenshots will follow as soon as I figure out a good approach

What? How? Why?
As the summary might have already suggest, this mod adds a couple of recipes and blocks to make normally unobtainable blocks obtainable without using commands or the Creative mode. This mod is largely aimed at creative builders who would like to stay immersed in their gameplay. This is reflected in the recipe costs.

This started out as a tiny request mod, grew a little, but is still, at its heart, a request mod. The release on the ModDB is mainly for convinience reasons.

Will I add your suggestion? Maybe. Maybe not. This will largely depend on whether it lines up with the vision of the original requester or not.

Usability Guide
Singleplayer  🟩  works
Multiplayer  🟥  must be installed on server
Known Issues
  • Glow worm farming
  • Harvesting glow worms does not reduce durability of shears. This might be correlated to how tools are handled in code. Currently too benign of a problem to investigate. (This means that I have no clue.)

thanks for the quick answer Brady_The. Well I guess I'm at step one again. I hope I figure out what could be causing the problem.

Hey Nyxara, this mod utilized vinegar in only one place, as an ingredient in a barrel recipe. It's not adding any transitional properties.

💬 Nyxara, Oct 17th at 5:14 PM

I wanted to ask if this mod changes anything about making cleaning vinegar bc when I was trying to make aged wine it eventually just turned into vinegar and what is odd is that one barrel contains 500 liter of vinegar. It could be a mod conflict. I'm using the wildcraft mods(trees and fruits & nuts) and the more mead options mod. 

💬 Brady_The , Oct 7th at 6:20 PM

JunidO Could you explain further? What kind of recipe would it be, what ingredients, and so forth?

Also, not to stoke any hopes, it is not necessarily my final decision if a feature makes it in or not. 

Will I add your suggestion? Maybe. Maybe not. This will largely depend on whether it lines up with the vision of the original requester or not.

Cheers for the suggestion, though!

nice mod, could you add colored glass, too?
