It’s a legitimate use of sulfur, it fits the chaos theming, it gives a way to obtain gunpowder in peaceful, and it would have paired well with them adding TNT sulfur cubes, it just seemed so obvious.

It may be obvious from a real world perspective, but it still is pretty niche as a mechanic.
Besides, I don’t think Mojang has even responded to that suggestion yet. It’s just the community that keeps screaming it over and over.
i think its a good idea, not necessarily obvious though from mojangs perspective. i imagine a lot of people dont know the ingredients of gun powder. maybe tweet the idea at them.
yeah this would make so much sense, especially for peaceful mode players who want to mess around with redstone contraptions but can’t get creepers to spawn
the recipe looks pretty balanced too – sulfur + charcoal + saltpeter is way more realistic than hoping a green exploding thing drops what you need
They 100% could. Recipes are one of the easiest things to add.
Gotta keep creepers useful.
jokes aside, I dont think we need a crafting recipe for this
Because when they add new features they don’t think about integrating it with existing features. That’s just how they work, unfortunately.
Microsoft doesn’t add common sense things. this makes way too much sense to even be considered.
Not everything needs to be craftable
They’re worried about keeping Creepers useful
Because that’s stupid.
Bro, we need this. Please.
Because Mojang is allergic to adding useful things in updates
Why is bonemeal involved?
I was hoping when I first saw this update that it would bring a way to make gunpowder and also tarnish copper..
But we got neither even though sulfur can do both.
It really sucks trying to build a world in peaceful or easy if you want to avoid hostile mobs because you have no choice but to farm creepers for gunpowder and spiders for string..
Let us make them! Craft wool into string, and sulfur into gunpowder! Even if I have to use a loom to turn wool into string.. give us the option!
Peaceful only players needing to make 2 farms and spend 80 hours fishing to achieve half the production of a hard mode creeper farm is maybe the real inequality
Don’t try to fix what ain’t broken
They should do this
I mean sure peaceful players but every other way to get gunpowder would be significantly easier to do than potentially travel thousands of blocks for a specific rare biome. You could build a basic mob grinder and then simply like turn off peaceful and then turn it back on, it’s not like it’s hardcore or something.
This is a feature that pretty much only peaceful players would use
I feel like this would also be a great way to make gunpower renewable
And gives you a late game use for coal which become obsolete once you have a good source of wood
while we’re at it. birch tree logs into paper!
Really good idea that is so bizarre why it is not done already, the current way of getting gunpowder is so bad.
They could but then they’d run lower on excuses on why they won’t add muskets
a bit of farts, charcoal and a tidy bit of bone meal, these are the elements to become the destroyer of worlds
