Summary


This datapack adds the item "Plant Wax" (a retextured Honeycomb), which is obtained by smelting jungle leaves or dead bushes.

Wax from jungle leaves


The Vegancraft Resourcepack (download above) is required to see this texture in-game and the name of the item.

Features

  • This recipe works only in regular furnaces, needs 10 seconds to cook (same as any other furnace recipe), and provides 0.1 xp.
  • Plant Wax behaves just as a regular honeycomb but has a different texture and name. Use it to craft candles and wax copper without the need of finding and farming bees.

Reasoning
- In general, I tried to find recipes that have an analogue in real life and that I think are balanced in the game. Both recipes need shears to obtain the needed ingredient, same as to obtain honeycomb, and they force you to find certain biomes in order to get wax.- The dead bush recipe is based on certain real-life bushes found in hot biomes –mainly candelilla wax– whose leaves produce wax. Since dead bushes are not renewable and primarily appear in deserts, I thought this was appropiate and balanced.- The jungle leaves recipe is based on certain real-life tropical trees – mainly palm wax– whose leaves produce wax. Jungle leaves are renewable, but they are quite a pain to farm, so I thought they are still balanced.- In both these cases, as far as I know, the wax is extracted heating the leaves (either drying them or boiling them), hence why I implemented them as furnace recipes.

2 Update Logs

v2.0 update - for Minecraft 1.20.5+ : by daenvil 05/21/2024 12:59:56 pmMay 21st

- Reworked recipes into the new system. This datapack should now perform a lot better as it no longer needs its previous custom smelting framework.
- Removed advancements from the standalone datapacks. Now those will only be available in the full Vegancraft datapack.
- Optimized functions to improve performance wherever I could.
- Added "give" function for the plant wax item. The command is /function dnv.plant_wax:give/plant_wax
