Ink Sack Functionality

Post by magikeh »

So the ink sack an item that has been in the game for a long time with relatively no use what so ever. (at least until recent updates of BTW) Anyways i am here putting in my two cents for a way to help make this item more useful. I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to edit signs with the ink sack, simply hold an ink sack in your hand and right/left click on a sign and you will be able to edit what is written on it. Of course the ink sac will be depleted with each edited sign. Thoughts? Concerns? Criticism? All are welcome! ^_^/

3) Do NOT post ideas whose sole purpose is to give a "useless" item another use. Suggest features, NOT recipes for those features.

Most of the dyes besides Lapis and Bone Meal lack any real functionality besides dye unless you install other mods. Editable signs would be nice, but it would involve a base class edit, and FC's actually quite conservative about doing those, so I don't think this would make it in. Also, he doesn't like features that-

If you want, you could change the suggestion to "A way to edit signs".

which it turns out still wouldn't be likely to be added to the mod. but at least then you aren't breaking the rules.
And HOW!

There is a way to edit signs, Knock it off and replace it.

Yeah, which I think most people would do rather than go look for an inc sack.

But we could use them to edit paintings!

Oh wait...

Wow FC, that's a fantastic idea, if you could put a pixel art mode in BTW, then I could customize the artwork hanging on my wall........

I can only assume those individuals need to make a doctors appointment.
