Archived [suggestion] Realistic Smithing.

[Leon Vill]

Hi!

I had an idea; more realistic smithing. You know, right now, you just stick some ore in a furnace, put the bar on a crafting table, and wham. You have a tool. I don't know about you, but that sounds very unrealistic. I thought; bear with me here: what if anvils were not only used for repairing, BUT for MAKING the tools. I know this is really hard to do, but hear me out. You get the ingot, and simply make the tool on the anvil. Simple as that. Pretty much swapping the crafting bench with the anvil, for tool purposes. Obviously, this will only be for iron and up tools. Tell me what you think.

Seems like a lot of effort for relatively small RP benefits.

Reduce the cost of Vanilla anvils and this would work tremendously nice. ;3 This is also something to suggest to the staff of Minecraft, not just MassiveCraft. ;3

^what she said.

What I was getting at is just a tweak, doesn't have to be an anvil, to the tool making process. I just think making a tool on the crafting bench is unrealistic. Just SOMETHING else.

Please, tell me. When was Minecraft EVER realistic?

Perhaps stone and wooden tools could still be crafted on a crafting table, it would be very hard to start if you didn't have an anvil.[DOUBLEPOST=1367661112,1367661064][/DOUBLEPOST]

That's as realistic as it gets and yet... All of those are not 100% realisticly real.

The weirdest thing in minecraft is. You body is always straight. When being killed. When swimming when peeing. When falling

Funny how in this discussion not one had brought up the most unrealistic thing about minecraft, you can carry thousands of cubic meters of stone (or anything else) and still run at about 4 meters a second (not sure what values these are for all you people who still use the imperial system)

I don't really agree with this. If you wanted to make smithing more "realistic", crafting would be a part anyways. Implementing this would in fact make it less realistic imo, simply just basing it off of a different crafting station. To make a tool, you'd have to heat and temper the metal into shapes and angles to form the tool, then fit it onto a stick. You don't simply bash an ingot into shape.

And, I know many people love the satisfaction of crafting something on a crafting table. I mean, it was part of the draw of Minecraft in the first place.

I said in the main post that this would be for iron tools and up.

I know, but adding at least A LITTLE realism would be nice for a change. I just think smithing is a bit... iffy. Have a look at the TerraFirmaCraft mod, for example. It does everything you said then. But if you could take a little part of that and implement it, it'd be cool.

I see it now. Must have missed that line, or it was not there the first time I read it.

You could just place a workbench in the floor and a anvil ontop of the workbench. Atleast it works with Iron blocks. So i pretend i repair iron items with the anvil.

Place crafting table in the floor. place a block above it. And place a anvil ontop. now break the block that supports the anvil. And the anvil will fall on the crafting table.

We cannot alter minecraft core mechanics such as HUD and smelting/crafting mechanics. This would either require to change minecraft with a mod (which is a big no for us) or adding i tons of new recipes and rename itemy and whatnot which is not worth it.
