Since we're playing without monsters, some thought has to be put into how players can get some of the stuff.
Spiders - string - its only used in bows, and you can make wool, but we can just let people punch sheep.
Creepers - gunpowder is only used to make tnt, we can live without tnt
Zombies - feathers - used only in making arrows
I'm starting to think Notch may have actually thought it through, where mob drops are mostly for violent things like weapons and explosives, so on a peaceful server, you can live without them.
I can make a chest shop with some of these items, like the string is useful for tape measure.
Mob drops

Well don't forget that string is also used for fishing poles! Though I think we can get string through a craftbook recipe, like uncrafting wool for string or something, iunno lol.
You're right! I never did think about that, all the violent mobs drop mostly violent things! xD That's just crazy.

We might still need the gunpowder if anyone's thinking of using Cookbook.
Then again, stuff from the Nether doesn't tie in with the feeling we're trying to create.

Actually I'll just change the recipe so it doesn't need sulphur. Netherrack can be used to make Glowstone, so now you can make both.
Now we just need a way to get bones for bonemeal.
(then later on)
Ok I did 4 dirt = 1 bonemeal. Not very creative I know.

Well that makes dirt more useful, it'll be nice not having large chests full of useless dirt.

I just want to be careful not to make it too easy to get either. I'm just kind of winging it on this one.
I just added 1 cloth turns into 2 string now too, I agree with Otter that it makes the most sense.

Dirt becoming bonemeal makes a certain amount of sense in a roundabout fashion. There's all sorts of junk in dirt, and maybe you're sifting it out to find little animal bones or something.
Do we want to add another way to get Lapis Lazuli? I can see blue dyes being really popular for sprites and such, but lapis ore is really rare. Maybe sifting it out of redstone dust with (water bucket + 7 dirt + 1 redstone)=1 lapis lazuli chunk? That way it's still rare, but not so rare we'll run out any time soon.

I actually have a couple lapis (on my burning person in a cave
) and some red stone, wich is pretty common it my caves. I think if we made one of those more common, it would probably have to be the lapis. we could do something like; 1cobbel, 1bucket of water, to make it. that's all I can think of anyways.

You don't have anything right now, I just cleared everyone's inventory and deleted all the chests. We were still in the mode where we're blatently cheating and summoning items and using WorldEdit commands to do massive things. I want us to be in legit mode from now on.
