Panel Saw
I Have a Rather Simple Idea, Perhaps FlowerChld has thought of it, But i will put it down here.
With the addition of 1.8 we now have glass panels. which are created out of glass block through the magic of crafting. Better than wolves has a better way. We can already cut Wood into panels, I propose Cutting glass. Each Glass Block would be cut down to 4 Panels, Making it a better method than crafting, but still requiring you to have a saw, not a small feat. This Would require very little work, only additional saw recipy, no new block ID's or anything fancy.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Panel Saw
i suggest using redpower, it has a diamond saw that can cut almost anything and its also 100% compatable with BTW http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/365 ... tone-pipe/

Re: Panel Saw
As far as I'm aware, FC has never removed a crafting recipe in Vanilla MC, this isn't a great reason to start doing that sort of thing.Nexus Trimean wrote:I Have a Rather Simple Idea, Perhaps FlowerChld has thought of it, But i will put it down here.

Re: Panel Saw
Im not purposing the Removal of a vanilla recipe, Just adding one. which he has done before. Using newer tools to make crafting more proficent.
if you craft panes in the Workbench, you get 16 panes for 6 glass blocks, if you used the saw as i am proposing you would get 24 panes for 6 glass blocks.

Re: Panel Saw
I like the idea of an alternate recipie, the saw just seems like strange place for it though. Saying that, steve can force 6 cubic meters of solid glass in to 16 1 square meter panels with just brute force, so...I can't say there's any good reasons against it in the short term.

Re: Panel Saw
Well we have these massive cubes of glass, only makese sense that if you want them thinner you have to cut them.

Not to mention he can hack a cubic meter of tree trunk into four cubic meters of wood with his fists, cram 6 cubic meters of wood into a 2 meter square door (with a window, often), etc. He's also capable of making things like the furnace using nothing but stone and his fists, or rails and minecarts.Stormweaver wrote:Saying that, steve can force 6 cubic meters of solid glass in to 16 1 square meter panels with just brute force, so...

Re: Panel Saw
Yeah. Seems kinda silly to argue that a saw wouldn't be able to cut glass up after that.Fracture wrote:Not to mention he can hack a cubic meter of tree trunk into four cubic meters of wood with his fists, cram 6 cubic meters of wood into a 2 meter square door (with a window, often), etc. He's also capable of making things like the furnace using nothing but stone and his fists, or rails and minecarts.Stormweaver wrote:Saying that, steve can force 6 cubic meters of solid glass in to 16 1 square meter panels with just brute force, so...

Re: Panel Saw
Given the universe that Steve Inhabits, The saw cutting Glass is less of a stretch than most things. Glass panes can be cut by saws in real life, though it's difficult and usually requires a special blade, I still don't think its too far of a logical leap to have the saw able to make glass panels as an alternate Recipe.

Re: Panel Saw
I can say i see any real problem in making this, having the saw allows the player to use less wood, so i don't see a reason why it couldn't be the game for getting glass panes

Re: Panel Saw
I really think its good to Add more functionality to cool bits of BTW
Re: Panel Saw
Cutting glass would be a good idea if it met a few prerequisites to make it a bit more realistic (since BTW has really been focused on being realistic(correct me if im wrong about that)).
1. It should be cut with a special saw (perhaps a diamond tipped saw)
2. it should first be cut in half making a sort of glass panel and then it could be cut into panes.
3.there should be a 30%-50% chance of the glass shattering.

Leave man. Just leave. Beyond mentioning a whole 2 new block IDs, you went with the second biggest suggestion taboo the mod has.cjrg wrote:diamond tipped saw

Re: Panel Saw
The first rule of diamond tipped saws is: you do not talk about diamond tipped saws.
The second rule of diamond tipped saws is: you DO NOT talk about diamond tipped saws!

Re: Panel Saw
Ok, someone must tell me why "diamond-tipped saw' is such a verboten topic, other then the fact that it would actually be diamond-edged or industrial diamond saw.

1) Obviously, FC has thought of this. Any child above 8 years old can think up something as simple, since it's that obvious
2) The idea has been suggested dozens of times before
3) Every time it's suggested, it always gets a no from FC and the rest of the userbase

Re: Panel Saw
No. Sorry, but there is a search function. There is common sense. There is no forcefully obligated rule that forces us to go light on you because you are new. There is also almost no resentment on this forum, so just continue on and we won't hold this small slip-up against you :)cjrg wrote:Please note I posted this before I even learned about this and I think you should seriously cut me some slack considering I just joined and am just trying to use these forums to talk.

Edit: also, use proper capitalization rules, fixed your post.

Re: Panel Saw
A diamond saw blade is beyond steves Current tech level. you dont need a diamond tipped saw to cut glass. it can be done with a masonry blade as long as you are careful. I dont like the Idea of a glass half step because it uses a block ID that would be better elsewhere. Its a bit of a strech, but less of one than a lot of things in minecraft.
Its difficulty in implementing is small. Just a new Recipe for the saw.
