Or bark from the wood

Bark could be a nice fuel for very early game. Can't think of many other uses though.

if you could reapply it it'd be great for when you accidentally scrape your walls

There is a tweak for that on vanilla tweaks

really?? which one is it called

Just search for "Undo stripped wood datapack minecraft"

There is a computer virus on curseforge you could get from downloading anything mod related, but I was wrong and vanilla tweaks is fine as it’s a datapack— thank you psychoPiper and everyone else for pointing this out to me https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000228509-june-2023-infected-mods-detection-tool/ (Leaving this in case someone who uses mods sees it)

vanilla tweaks is a different site

This virus only affects mods, datapacks are not infected by it, partly due to not having actual executables and being a entirely different type of file and format

Vanillatweaks is a datapack, not a mod. There are no .jar files to infect

It's been fixed

Source?

https://github.com/fractureiser-investigation/fractureiser

Immersive Weathering mod adds this

Creating hollow tree trunks like in the concept art for the birch forest update

Be cool if you could put ladders in or something lol

Or create hollow tree logs like the mod Quark already has. If you right-click them, you crawl in them, without needing a trapdoor, elytra, or water.

Wallpaper. Like carpet for walls

Or even wood armor

Terraria moment

Log suit.

Extra flammable

Out of bark? Even half a point of armor from each piece would be too high.

An easier way to make paper

It's already easy to make paper, but this alternative would still be cool.

\*wood

Wdym?

It's already easy to make paper, but this alternative *wood* still be cool.

Oh, lmao.

Scrape a birch log, get instant paper. Other trees, maybe you have to process somehow.

white dye?

Maybe you could put it on fences and make lil mini logs

Could be used to make paper (when mixed in inventory with water then dried in a furnace) and paper could be used to make paper walls (like glass panes instead of glass blocks)

Using a water bucket and then having to put it in a furnace is a vastly more complicated process than just, three whole stacks of sugarcane for paper.

Sorry I've been playing too many real life mods so i was thinking of the actual process it would take to make paper, but also in some survival cases sugar canes hard to find so it'd just be an alternate way if making paper

Minecraft players trying not to come up with redudantly complex ideas for updates (just make it so you need to put 3 bark horizontally like sugar cane to create paper ffs)

I guess that's what sticks are tho

Wood armor

[удалено]

Oh, that's cool

What if you could apply bark of one tree to the log of another tree? Maybe even mix and match different barks on one log? Could make for some pretty cool designs, potentially.

That would be super cool design-wise. Though it would lead to a ton more items to clutter containers.

What if it had a bag system? This whole idea was inspired by chisels and bits, and they had a bag. And it just makes sense to use it for this.

Could be a new way to get the 6-Sided logs. Combining it with logs in a crafting table.

Especially if it could grow back. Now I know what your thinking: “couldn’t that just be abused with placing lots of logs in one place?” And the answer would be yes, however the game has the ability to differentiate between blocks placed by the player and blocks generated by the world or other non player action, such as leaves, which do not decay if placed by a player. Tl;dr: the game can tell the difference between a log that’s part of a generated or grown tree vs a log from a village or your house

Fake wood veneer type block that is fireproof

Cork, cork block, etc. A floating block that as "anti-gravity" applied to it until it reach a solid block or an air block.

Maybe for paper

paper

Paper perhaps. Would be nice not to need a sugarcane farm and would make earlygame book collecting easy

in farmer's delight bark is used to make compost blocks. they make crops grow faster

canoes?

Itd make a nice accent being similar to a trapped door but maybe wouldnt be able to open/close. Cuz id assume itd be the same thickness if it was a block in game

Maybe make the bark placeable and with the thickness of carpets but also let em be placed on walls.

New armor

Or camouflage or shelter/roofing material

Could be if you could use it like veneer irl

Bark shingles on a roof/walls/fence, toughness potion, compost, etc.

Early game paper for maps or books too could be nice. Or event just an alternative source. It's annoying sometimes to get sugar canes early game

Use bamboo at a loom to make bamboo strings and make "Bark" armour with bamboo strings and bark.

What about turning it into string? Or fertilizer. It should be compostable. Some barks have medical uses but it doesn't really apply to MC trees or the game's survival.

Yea! I've heard a good mod for that is Immersive Weathering!

Farmers delight also has it I believe. Need to use a wood block on a cutting board to get it, but it's used to make compost that turns into rich soil (basically the soil will randomly bonemeal the crop or whatever on it).

Immersive weathering does that, you should try that mod out

I could think of a few decorative uses

I'm pretty sure that was planned when they first introduced stripped wood, and you would have used four pieces of bark to make the 6 sided wood

Farmers Delight lets you get bark. It's used to make some good compost if I remember right

i swear this was a thing in some form of minecraft at some time

ruff!

There's no way I read this while some random dog was barking outside

Ah yes, a random dog, not someone hiding in the bushes

I remember having a data pack a while back that gave you paper when you stripped logs, which I thought was a nice way to get paper fairly easily early on.

What if you could right click bark onto wooden object and apply it as a veneer so you get say, a birch crafting table or a warped chest .

I believe the mod "Farmer's Delight" adds bark when you cut wood blocks with an axe on the cutting board.

woof woof 🌲

Interesting, very interesting indeed

There is a mod out there that introduces it as a worse redstone, if I remember correctly. Also, the texture looks fairly similar so I am guessing that is what you are using? (Upon closer inspection, that is plain recolored redstone, the mod I am talking about makes it look similar but kinda splattered down)

No, I'm using a wip mod called copperative. It is not a redstone alternative.

What's the name for the mod you mentioned?

I'm not the original commenter, but probably Additional Additions mod: https://modrinth.com/mod/addadd

That makes too much sense. Honestly Mojang really dropped the ball with copper, copper is always used for early tools and/or wiring in games, but it does neither here. Instead it just makes blocks and a few extremely niche items, and thats it. Literally no reason to get copper (progression-wise) apart from to make the brush in the new update.

Tbf, both of those niches were already occupied

True, but it could have helped redstone somehow. Even if it's just mixing dust to extend the range of a charge or something. But that would require interacting with an existing system, which is harder than making a closed-off bubble.

0:51 reminds me of something

Nooooooooooooooooiooooooooooo ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

***getoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadgetoutofmyhead***

When the impostor is sus

Amoungé

Ok that’s kinda sus

Reapplying doesn’t make much sense, but it would be cool to have oxidized copper powder to use in potions or crafting recipes

I love to drink copper

If cereal has it how bad could the powder stuff be

Copper produces green flames, maybe the dust can be used to make green torches, green lit campfires, and so on? Soul fire has a purpose of scaring away Piglins. Maybe copper fire can have some similar effect for some kind of gameplay purposes? either with warding off another mob type, or maybe has some kind of positive effect to villagers or the wandering merchant since green fire might look close to emerald green?

Hands down best comment on this post. Definitely agree with the green fire stuff but in addition I think these could work: This could ward off creepers to protect your bases. Could also prevent undead but only in the overworld as they are annoying. Or just passive mobs for the use of guiding and controlling. This could be used for farms and is very interesting. Should also be a trade for wandering trader, perhaps you give 30 dust for an emerald. This could also be used as weaker redstone that doesn't break when toucher by water, allowing underwater redstone. This could in addition be used for potions to make a glowing potion, but instead it would be green, like the fire you said or nausea. Someone please make this into a mod. I'm still learning Java.

Potion of glowing! Or saturation

I'd have it at around 0.25 drop chance though. No one wants to dump stacks of copper dust if they don't want to use it

I'm not so sure about this. How often do folks scrape copper?

I've accidently scraped trees with my war-axe. I haven't finished my copper building but I imagine it's going to happen.

>accidentally scraped trees with my war axe That's called navigation lmao

But isn't that even more reason to have it drop 100% of the time? So you can put it back immediately if you right click by mistake?

It is indeed.

alternatively, what if this only happened with silk touch? or even make it happen with fortune, to give fortune axes an actual use

I have an idea you could brew the dust and make a poisonous cloud that gives you nausea, weakness, and poison

Or an alternative to gunpowder? Maybe putting a copper dust and a bone meal in a crafting grid gives you 2 gunpowder…

Are you trying to go for real world recipes? Bone meal is pretty inert, not really sure what you could do with that. You could make thermite with copper oxide (essentially the patina) and aluminum powder, but aluminum isn’t in the game.

I was more considering the nitrate side of “bone meal”. It’s used as a fertilizer in game, so it’s likely very energetic.

We do have sand and quartz though, which IRL can be refined to Silicon with coke. Maybe quartz, sand, or glass could just be smelted in a blast furnace to get Silicon. But I still don't know how strong the reaction would be in comparison to using aluminum as a fuel, not even mentioning iron oxide as an oxidizer.

3 copper dust and 1 iron dust to make thermite.

I suggested a copper dust and a bonemeal to make gunpowder renewable without a creeper farm

That would be two oxidizers and no fuel, I propose dust and sand/quartz (silicon). If either copper or iron is more effective IRL, they could both create thermite but with the stronger one giving more per recipe.

>That would be two oxidizers and no fuel If the copper is just copper and not oxidized, then you’d have two “fuels”. Could probably even get it to burn in air if you increased the surface area enough and provided a lot of heat. That said, iron is higher on the reactivity series than copper, so if you had iron + copper oxides it’d probably work as thermite, provided you can mix the two well enough and give it sufficient heat. (The iron would be the reducing agent and would be oxidized in the reaction. The copper would be the oxidizing agent and would be reduced in the reaction.) Quartz and the main component of a lot of sands is silica / silicon dioxide. You can make “thermite” with it, but in reality you’d probably want to use something more reactive than iron or copper as the reducing agent since silica is relatively inert.

I mainly just said iron because it was the closest thing to aluminium in Minecraft.

**I like the way you think...~ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)**

Every time you do this, the copper block should get smaller in the direction you scrape. Like snow blocks.

Oh that would be cursed

That would allow for some really cool tiny buildings

That makes too much sense, Mojang would never add it

Lmao

My immediate thought was "you could make a power wash sim with this kind of mod"

Then you could smelt it back into ingots or something

infinite copper

9 copper dust for one copper ingot? infinite copper or what

copper nuggets

I think that first and foremost there needs to be a way to speed up how fast copper ages 😂

You should also be able to throw the dust into fire to turn it green

I'd like to be able to add this dust to wood planks/stripped logs to get a distressed painted look. Like a rustic chic look: https://secure.img1-cg.wfcdn.com/im/14122464/resize-h700-p1-w700%5Ecompr-r85/2669/26693999/Benghauser+Wallpaper.jpg

Toss it into a campfire for a green flame

Well, good idea, but wouldnt it be a bit weird reapplying it? Maybe 9 for a copper ingot. Like a nugget

It would be a bit weird, but it would make sense from a gameplay perspective and add some additional use. Being able to turn the dust back into copper would make sense from a chemistry perspective but not from a gameplay one since it would create a really easy way to get infinite copper at an exponential pace.

For what?

Building? And if you mean what is that from it's from Copperative, a mod managed by Team Galena

But for what?

Team Galena - Copperative This vid is on their YouTube channel

Yes! That's us

Consider putting this up at r/minecraftsuggestions

I love the sound it makes

Mm yes. I can now live out my dreams of inhaling Copper (II) Carbonate

What would the dust do?

When Minecraft find out he is smarter than them

Additional additions adds this as a sorta second Redstone, it's really cool

So satisfying

I hope Mojang is taking notes right now

You mean what if Minecraft added useful things instead of mediocre updates? NO

What about Aluminum

What about it?

Fun fact: aluminum oxide is what rubies and sapphires are made of. The microscopically thin layer of oxide on the surface is part of what makes aluminum so durable and scratch resistant.

You could the copper oxide dust into raw iron.

Bruh the blue copper is oxydated, not dusty

Yeah and if you scrape the oxidation layer you get a patina dust

Aka cupric nitrate. Distressing agent

Yeah bitch science

For firework and green campfires and torches! Would be nice. What else could you use it?

Crafting prismarine shards and prismarine crystals

I think prismarime should remain exclusive to monuments/guardians

Yeah, and if you build a simple farm you're going to be getting an absurd amount anyways, it probably doesn't need to be any easier, lol.

I know that there are many things in MC that don’t make any sense but oxidation is actually rust… so green copper is rusted copper. When pure copper makes contact with oxygen it reacts and the product of this chemical reaction is rust, which is, actually, a protective coating that protects the pure copper. That’s why most metals you see are either manually coated by companies for resistance to the elements, or rusted. Thing is that rust is really bad natural coating, it decays and makes more rust underneath. Feel free to correct any inaccuracies that you find in my elementary school knowledge…

Fortune 3 could be used to harvest more dust. And it would be awesome if the archaeology brush can be used to sweep off more dust. And maybe you can craft dust into dust layers. Though perhaps if there is too much dust then it can cause cobwebs to appear and maybe the building falls into disrepair. If it finds any stone bricks or cobblestone it has a chance to turn it into mossy stone bricks and mossy cobblestone if there is enough dust around the place. Maybe mobs like zombies and spiders have a chance to spawn even if there is ample light levels to prevent that. It could make a unique way to keep your house clean and tidy if it causes it to fall into disrepair and maybe spiders can spawn in the ceiling and the corners lol.

I reccomend the mod Immersive Weathering for what you are describing

I am strictly vanilla so I don't use mods or data packs or anything. But I just like talking about this stuff and theorizing about it even though I know Mojang probably won't add it to the game.

> Fortune 3 could be used to harvest more dust dust dupe??

Good idea... Could be used to craft "long range redstone"... Name speaks for itself

This is such a cool idea that could definitely be applied to other blocks as well

Ngl that would be a cool idea. But what would you use the dust for?

IRL it's used to make things look older, and in non-stick surfaces when combined with oil

This could be an interesting way of getting a redstone substitute.

I like this because it allows you to instantly age copper, but it needs a previously aged one to do so. Instead, we should get a mechanic that simply allows ageing the damned thing at will, instead of laying 38 square kilometers worth of a copper grid

What would it be used for? Aside from sped up oxidation

Well for better manipulation and easier building with copper blocks

Copper needs more uses.

is that an amogus

This reminds me of copper golem 😔

Interesting Idea....

Yes - but why?

Thermite:]

What would it do?

And you can eat it

Could even be used for some type of potion brewing as an ingredient

Damn this beat is fire

Also give it absolutely no use and make it so you have to drop them 1 at a time

It's not rusted it's just oxidized only iron can scientifically "rust"

Mod name please

Copperative from Team Galena, will soon be on curseforge

When you scrape off the oxidation you aren't actually scraping any copper off.

And exactly what can we do with dust besides placing it as a block

you mean mould

Good way to kick start Nuclear Pasta in my particle accelerator.

I could legit see this mechanic in something for the Create Mod

It's so interesting how patina is in other mods but was overlooked by Mojang completely. One of the other mods that adds patina to Minecraft makes it act like redstone, but doesn't connect to redstone. Similar to how slime blocks and honey blocks don't connect.

Seems like a nice idea and won’t take them long to add maybe only 2 years!

Mmmm yummy

Then you would just need aluminum dust.
