A nice fellow from the Bukkit forums has created a custom plugin for us to solve our sand problem. There are two new crafting recipes which are as follows: 9 cobblestone -> 9 gravel -> 9 sand. No more need for a sand generator.

Our coder has also offered to add more recipes if we'd like. Are there any recipes that you'd like to see added, keeping in mind that I like to keep stuff somewhat balanced?

[edit] Also, chain armor can now be crafted by using flint in the usual armor patterns.

At least gravel is useful now . I regret throwing all those stacks of it into the lava now.

At least gravel is useful now .

I've always thought that kind of recipe made sense. Cobblestone is basically just broken stone. Gravel is just crushed cobblestone. Sand is just really finely ground gravel (and seashells, but we'll ignore that). So, the lack of a cobble->gravel->sand progression always confused me. It's also a pretty balanced recipe, IMO, as you still have to mine the cobble or gravel. That stuff, particularly cobble, is very easy to get so it's easier to do than strip-mining, but it's also nowhere near as obviously exploit-y as the sand machine. Good all around IMO.

So you create a cobblestone generator... lava plus water... then crunch the cobblestone down into gravel and then sand... which is essentially Hawaii in a nutshell.
