Clay overhaul: Ceramics, molds, and more! Warning: Long post

[theJalden 21]

Bump.

I completely agree, not enough attention has been paid to clay. I like the new brick mechanic, but historically bricks were also made from clay, as were food storage units, plates, and cups. The use of ceramic cups completely predates the use of glass. Which by itself needs an overhaul, but that's another thread.

I like all of this, and would love to see clay items.

Does anyone know what could be used to make the pottery wheel turn?

This could be another device that could be powered, by a wind or water mill (if they get implemented)

Looks like the devs liked the clay overhaul idea

I was thinking something like this but with a bunch of different colors and a texture that doesn't look like crap, like maybe glazed ones with a wavy line down the middle like in Link to the Past.

I suddenly had an image of every player with a Link skin smashing these pots looking for emerald rupees.

A turntable is used for creating pottery, that could be device

1) Double posts can contain different content - they are still double posts. Don't do them.

If you double post because you are using an inferior browser, that makes you unfortunate. If you double post to prove a point about how it's 'okay', that makes you a douche. Lrn2ForumEtiquette

2) Loving this thread hardcore. The ideas, the formatting... with a little more content, OP could be almost Jed-tier.

Now to brass tacks - crafting recipes, in their 5x5 grid plan-style area:

This item is then crafted with the appropriate anvil plan to create a [item here] cast.

Sculpting block:

Made by putting a clay block into the potting wheel without a plan and clicking any 3 buttons. When placed in-world, it turns into cubits like chiseled stone, which can be removed by right-clicking with a bare hand (yielding a small clay lump) or added onto by right clicking with a small clay lump. 2 full 64 stacks of small clay lumps can be placed on a potting wheel with no plan and turned into a clay item (the ones that drop when you break the block).

The cubit clay sculpture can be picked up instantly with a bare hand and retains its cubit data as an item. After being glazed and fired, the finished ceramic piece is placed as normal, and retains its previous shape.

All I want for clay is an ochre-coloured clay. It's a pretty colour.
