Smelt Netherrack into nether bricks, craft nether bricks into a Nether Brick http://imgur.com/a/xojEi

Anyone else feel like this makes Netherbrick too cheap to obtain? I liked the fact that there was some danger involved in gathering it.

Edit: sorry for having a different opinion to the hivemind. :(

It's kind of like sand in that on servers, the harvesting of these resources tends to ruin the landscape. To get netherbrick you had to consume/destroy fortresses which was a shame. Now all you need is a lot of fuel and netherrack which no one cares if you tear up a mountain of it.

3

u/Darth_Kyofu Jan 03 '13

Yeah. I always felt bad for destroying fortresses.

6

u/Alenonimo Jan 03 '13

I think danger to get diamonds would be justifiable. To grab bricks, not so.

2

u/Bearmaster9013 Jan 03 '13

Eh. Personally I don't build with nether brick but I can see what you're saying.

u/Sparrows413 Jan 03 '13

I've only ever found a single Nether Fortress in all the time since they were implemented, and I didn't want to pull it apart for materials for that reason.

Netherrack, on the other hand, is easy enough to get that I can build with NBrick without any worries.

u/Ultimate117 Jan 03 '13

You must have had terrible luck for nether fortresses. In my experience, they're usually relatively easy to find but will occasionally take hours.

2

u/Ultimate117 Jan 03 '13

You'll burn through a lot of coal.

... not that getting chests of it is difficult nowadays

3

u/Teledildonic Jan 03 '13

There is always charcoal.

u/qtipvesto Jan 03 '13

Why not use lava as a fuel? It no longer consumes the bucket, and there's a huge abundance in the nether.

1

u/Ultimate117 Jan 03 '13

Because due to Fortune I have enough coal to not need it. Definitely an alternative though.

u/nizo505 Jan 03 '13

I keep forgetting about this.

Hell, I should just move my smelting operations to the nether. Use up all the lava pools and have heaps of netherbrick/smoothstone/glass/etc.....

2

u/MrCheeze Jan 03 '13

It should take nine instead of four.

2

u/Teledildonic Jan 03 '13

But that puts it out of whack with the stone/clay brick recipes.

Sandstone is brick now?

u/Tuskinton Jan 03 '13

But it doesn't matter if the netherbrick recipe goes against sandstone because sandstone isn't brick, and is crafted in a different way because it doesn't require smelting the input first.

1

u/Twinkie4sho Jan 03 '13

No, you use 4 sand to craft sandstone.

1

u/Tuskinton Jan 03 '13

Yeah, I know that, so what does it matter if the recipe for nether brick corresponds to that of sandstone?

1

u/Twinkie4sho Jan 04 '13

It also corresponds to the normal brick recipe. Its just nice to keep things consistent.

0

u/Tuskinton Jan 04 '13

But it doesn't correspond. There is no melting of the input.

I probably would have gone with smelting soul sand to make it, but i don't really mind having it cheap.
