Talk:Renewable resource

???? Is this for blocks, items, or both?--PurpleKiwi 08:01, 16 November 2010 (CST)

Actual resources
There may not be quite a fine enough line (for me anyway) between actual resources and stuff that can be created from them. For example, Stone (Block) is not actual renewable, but it can be created from Cobblestone, which is a renewable resource (can be created). As are fishing rods. As is bread, which is crafted from wheat, which is the renewable resource (grows in the fields).

Perhaps a gauge of "is this thing crafted or smelted from a renewable source" can be used to determine when something is one step too removed from being the actual renewable resource? Just throwing some thoughts out there. --meioziz 21:54, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Milk renewable?
I don't think milk is renewable, as it requires a bucket to be milked from cows, a bucket requires 3 iron ingots and Iron isn't renewable. So is it really renewable? Tials 14:22, 10 December 2010 (CST)


 * The only thing you can currently do with milk is pour it out on the ground (which destroys it). This does not, however, destroy the bucket. Once milk gets a "real" use (eg crafting), the bucket may indeed be consumed, but that's not the case at present. - Bomb Bloke 14:59, 10 December 2010 (CST)
 * you can argue that, technically, by your logic, trees are not renewable. just destroy every tree in the world, and throw ALL the drops into lava. no more trees.--Kizzycocoa 21:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
