A use for Emeralds

Post by Eriottosan »

If (as it would be the logical thing) emeralds are eventually craftable into an Emerald block, then there is a use for the easy-to-accquire block - The Emerald City ;) (launches into songs from The Wizard of Oz, or preferably, "One Short Day" from Wicked.

Yeah, I'm in an odd mood today ...

Perfect and perfect! (If we can find a way to display the gimp suit, that is).

Although, as I said, I prefer Wicked to TWoO. ;).

OMG! You killed the Wicked Wolves of the West! WTF!?! How are we supposed to get dung now!

Yes ;).

But wouldn't that mean we could just click the heels of our Soulforged boots to show back up in Kansas?

Trust me, Splee, if the anniversary update really *is* an extra dimension, I'll be clicking my SFS boots as quick as I can ;).

I wouldn't be surprised if Mojang never actually implemented that.

At this point I'm completely ignoring Emeralds. As I see it, any "use" for them is just trying to justify a pointless feature after the fact. I don't think they add an ounce of shit to the game and would prefer this whole half-assed idea that has just been added to the game instead of the the more complicated / anticipated and desired features is bunk.

True, it is perhaps a tad foolish to expect them to act logically at this point ...

I'll probably ignore them completely, too. Although if I find myself with a surplus of vanilla materials due to automated systems, then I will be selling them to create the emerald city. Which is the one and only time I will allow the existence of emeralds to be acknowledged.

Haha. Right. That's decided then. Although I will buy nothing from villagers, I will sell them all sorts of bits and bobs in order to make the Emerald City ;).

If you did this on a server I would be happy to join you. Wizard of Oz was my favorite book and movie as a child.

Gargantuan, once BTW goes multiplayer (so that emerald trading materials are produced as a surplus in automation - I don't really want to go about wasting time gathering materials for it when it can be used doing other things), we can set this up ;).

Hey, Gargantuan, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes, that's right! Music blocks set up to play "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "One Fine Day"!
