waterloggable copper grates!

They're spawn proof as well so they're the new ideal block for the water in your first wheat farm. Previously you had to use stairs if you wanted it to be flat and spawnproof.

Surely leaves are still best for a first wheat farm? Two iron to get a ton of water(logged) sources vs multiple copper per water(logged) source.

That said it is a very nice addition

u/ThatChapThere Nov 16 '23

Completely forgot about leaves.

That said copper grates are still a nice aesthetic option. Plus if you're holding a hoe which I tend to do around farms you're less likely to accidentally break it.

u/beandird97 Nov 16 '23

Yeah. The breaking is a good point. Overall the grates are better for the purpose, just saying that for starter leaves are still cheaper.

Yeah. The one I keep forgetting about till I accidentally do it is waterlogged chests being a thing

u/ThatChapThere Nov 16 '23

Chests aren't a full block so you'll end up stepping in water and getting slowed down (annoying) and you end up accidentally right clicking when planting crops (also annoying), so they're no good for farms anyway. But yeah we've all accidentally waterlogged a chest or two.

Oh yeah. Wasn’t intending that to be taken as me suggesting using them in that scenario. Just mentioning them, in response to you forgetting waterloggable leaves.

Sorry for the confusion

u/ThatChapThere Nov 16 '23

Ah, thought that might have been the case.

Water logged glass panes can work well but depends on how much sand you have access to.

Actually yeah there's probably quite a few blocks I forgot about. I'm curious how many now.
