RE: EP Minecraft Officialness

Aw....I liked picking up the glass panes again but I suppose it makes more sense to have them shatter just as a normal glass block does. As for repairing well now that's something I'm glad has been added. I thought about putting a suggestion for it on the getsatisfaction page but seeing as I didn't see anyone visit my Variety of Spider idea I just assumed that no one would look at the repairing idea either. However seeing as so many of the ideas for the new spiders in the abandon mines seem very familiar, I suppose the old saying is true about assuming.

My idea for repairing was a hammer and anvil system, I know it's a little cliche but follow me here. It would give another use for Obsidian.

2 sticks with a piece of obsidian on each side to make a hammer, it has a good bit of durability but will wear down with use eventually.

Anvil

An anvil made with several pieces of obsidian, once placed does not wear down but has a catch. Cannot be picked up again as it will break, also it needs to be placed only on some stone flooring.

Forge

The forge also needs to be on stone flooring, and can be made out of several stone blocks and bucket of lava.

[Use and functions]

Repair
- In order to repair a weapon or tool, you must first put it into the forge and wait for it to heat the metals about as much time as it takes to smelt materials. Once heated it needs to be taken out within a minute otherwise it'll break. Then using a source material matching the items [ie: an iron or gold ingot] you can combine it with the broken item to fully fix it. So in other words using 1 iron ingot with a almost broken iron sword will repair it fully. Originally I wanted to have the user use an amount based on what it took to make the item but if that's the case you might as well make a new weapon right? This way is more economical, giving up only one ingot.

- Once out access the anvil and insert the hammer and you'll be able to repair said item, the hammer will have usage meter like other tools

- Only Iron or Gold tools, weapons and armor may be repaired with this system as you cannot restore stone or gem like items in a forge.

Create
- You can use the forge to create items, tools and armor. You can use iron and gold ingots to create blades and what have you for each tool, ultimately this will replace most of the workbench system. You can still use it to make wooden and diamond materials but the metal ones will need to be made with blacksmithing.

Breaking Down
- The hammer can be used with the anvil alone to break them down to restore 1 random material that was used to make it. The durability will not go down for breaking items, only forging and repair due to the heat involved.

Another idea that can go along with this addition is the idea of material cores, in other words you could fortify a sword with a diamond in order to give it more durability far more than what it would normally have. Mixing different types of materials in order to make different types of metals ie: Mixing gold and iron to make a metal that's a like a lesser-diamond. Iron's durability but golds power. Creating horseshoes for eventual horses to make them run faster and travel more terrain. Maybe mold a kleet for the players shoes that acts like the sneak function so you won't fall off the edge. Obviously some things would need to be ironed out *no pun intended* before I decide to post it
