I’m considering what options there are for crafting. The tools (axes, primarely?) don’t do anything on right click now, so I could make them open a carve/extract/gather menu when you right click a block of wood.

Extracting would only give you the base components, like sticks and handles or whatnot. To actually make an item, you assemble them in your inventory. For example, handle + rock axe head = stone axe. water + yellow flower = yellow dye.

Of course, this is not perfect. It’s not really intuitive, it uses menus (which I’m trying to avoid), and it doesn’t tie well into the actual game.

I’d want people to build forges and smelt iron and so. (well, I guess I could just make iron ore blocks in fire become iron after a while)

I will get started with some test implementation stuff soon (wednesday night, probably) then get something done by the end of this week. =)
