Furnace problem is now fixed too – it was trivial. I think I will leave the long sleep problem until 2.3. I can’t readily reproduce it, plus if I am right about it, it would probably take a long time to fix anyway.
Additional changes that will come with the fix:
- Limestone is made lighter and basalt darker, although not to the same extent they were in 2.1
- You can use stone chunks instead of stone blocks to craft stone spear/stone club/stone axe.
Btw. the reason I kept the original recipes for stone tools is because I don’t want the players who don’t read the blog (or players coming from Minecraft) to feel lost. That’s why all the original tool recipes work. I don’t think it’s a big problem you can make a stone club from one or three blocks of stone. Up to you how much you waste :-)
