Okay so I will concede that I am starting to like amethyst

Having calcite as a rare marble-like block is neat, and it creates a rare nonrenewable (which is something that I think we need some of)

And amethyst's two main crafting recipes admittedly make sense

Assuming its role in game is manipulating light, tinted glass and the spyglass would both be instances where that's an ideal task for amethyst

If the spyglass just used iron I'd be cool with it too

Also the geodes are kinda cool, and I'm not gonna complain about Mojang actually adding content to underground, even if it's not that well integrated with the existing stuff

Oh TIL calcite generates naturally in the stony peaks biome

Makes it a little less rare, but mountains aren't all that common so not by much

Interesting, I just did the food point calculations, and berry cake is the best food in the game by most measures :p

There's three attributes a food item has: hunger impact, HP impact, and magic XP impact

Most just give you back around 10 hunger, but some can damage you (mushrooms, rotten berries, raw meat/fish) or heal you (berries, cooked meat), or give you magic XP (mushrooms, expensive foods)

Berry cake is +40 food and +1 HP

It costs two barley (-> 1 flour) and one berries, and must be cooked

Meaty stew, which requires one barley and one meat (plus a bowl) and must be cooked is +38.75 food and +1 or +2 HP (randomly)

Fishy stew (+32.5 and +0 or +1 HP) and bread (+27.5) come next

Considering some sort of cold food that's still good, since currently the top six foods all require a campfire, which can be hard to obtain and keep lit

Ooh...maybe sushi, made with barley (close enough to rice) and raw fish

Okay, sushi is now the fourth best food in the game, displacing bread. It takes two raw fish and either one barley or two seeds, making it by far the best food available without cooking (second best is raw flour, which is +12.5, but eating the barley raw would give you +15 so nobody would do that except in an emergency)

Plus raw flour has a magic XP penalty, since anyone eating raw flour is probably not a wisened master of the dark arts

Raw elk meat yields the same food points as flour, but with a 50% chance of dropping you by 1 HP so it's slightly a worse food

Oh sushi's stats are +32 food (a great deal given that the ingredients add up to just +18.5 if you have no means of cooking them) and +1 magic XP

Poisonous foods, baked goods, and sushi are apparently the most magical foods in the game

lmao nice

Definitely going to need a pretty comprehensive manual

lol

oh the barley's making me think about some kind of drink brewing system

like there should just be five pages of the manual about nothing but tea

That'd be hilarious

This is certainly not going to cause any confusion

From left to right: barley, log, sticks, not sure, fishing rod, not sure, not sure, one of those is cooked meat, one of those is a bowl, one's meaty stew, one's cooked barley, one's toasted seeds

I'm thinking maybe fences should be another color than brown

Last one is bread, there's elk hide armor in there too

The bluish one I think

@UnrelatedString ooh I would totally add that if I had enough unused colors

@RadvylfPrograms At the Gates has Honey as a food resource, which I thought was pretty cool

Honestly considering making a non-1-pixel version of this with more stuff in it

Honey would also go well with the drinks system Unrelated proposed; IIRC mead's made with honey

@RadvylfPrograms toasted seeds?

Yes, you can roast seeds over a campfire and eat them, though they're a pretty poor food

why did i ever leave shadow dancer out of this deck

@Seggan you've never had toasted seeds irl? they're good

ive had toasted sesame

good

You can eat lots of things in the game that aren't really optimal in an emergency

Toasted seeds (5.5 hunger), raw flour (12.5 hunger, could be more than doubled by baking it into bread), poisonous mushrooms/rotten berries, raw meat/fish, that sort of thing

will the game have height?

No

so 2d one pixel minecraft?

Sort of, yeah

More like pixel-y Don't Starve tho
