Talk:Diorite

--68.110.81.176 01:07, 21 January 2014 (UTC) Random Player: Diorite is no longer new. I'm playing Minecraft at this exact moment and I currently have 15 blocks of Diorite. I have found 2 veins of it so far but I haven't managed to empty either yet. I'm in an Acacia forest on a hill. Hope this helps.

Merging With Other Stone Pages
Hi, I thought that it would be convenient for players if we merged the pages for Stone, Andesite, Diorite, and Granite.

Crafting the new “Stones” (I’ll call them)
(Copied from www.minecraft.gamepedia.com/Talk:14w02a ; I'm also Yilante 50.1.134.10 20:56, 23 January 2014 (UTC)) I thought this - highly-Edited - v. of the Crafting List for the planned 1.8 UpDate I re-made might be useful, here. Because Diorite is basically the -precursor, Stone for the other-two, also-Craftable Stones which are - as well - naturally-occurring (as such, as non-Ore - Stones) also as of 14w02a, being Andesite and Granite.

Ok, new approach: all in terms of "2 Blocks," which Diorite and Andesite require, unlike Granite and the Block of Quartz.

2 Cobble from 2 Cobble (1:1 ratio)

2 Diorite from 2 Cobble + 2 Nether Quartz (for separately-Both requiring, Cobble and Nether Quartz, 2:2 = 1:1 ratio[s])

2 Andesite from (2 Diorite via 2 Cobble + 2 Nether Quartz) + 2 Cobble = 4 Cobble + 2 Nether Quartz (2:4 = 1:2 of Andesite to Cobble, 2:2 = 1:1 of Andesite to Nether Quartz)

1 Granite from ([2 Diorite via 2 Cobble + 2 Nether Quartz] /[divided by 2]) + 1 Nether Quartz (1:1 of Granite to Cobble, 1:2 of Granite to Nether Quartz)

OR: 2 Granite from ([2 Diorite via 2 Cobble + 2 Nether Quartz]) + [2] Nether Quartz (so 2:2 = 1:1 of Granite to Cobble, 2:4 = 1:2 of Granite to Nether Quartz)

1 Block of Quartz from 4 Nether Quartz (OR: X 2 = 2 Blocks of Quartz from 8 Nether Quartz) (1:4 = OR: 2:8 of Block of Quartz to Nether Quartz)

There, it helped to focus on the Logic of the Math /changing-of the Equation(s), rather than the Algebra-ic, ratioS Yilante 50.1.134.10 20:56, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
