Plastic. P-l-a-s-t-i-c. P L A S T I C. How the hell does plastic fit in the the theme of Minecraft? Is Minecraft being Industrial Craft with stock markets and commodity prices?

Perhaps they should implement countries that tax us for using furnaces!

On Topic: Is a new tier needed? Especially plastic. Plastic, the stuff which is pretty soft. The stuff which makes up disposable cups. The stuff which is even softer than wood. How could plastic even try to mine stone?

Oil. Oil is not needed. It doesn't add anything to the game. It is essentially lava, just with the added function of making plastic.

name one good castle movie where they didn't pour down boiling oil at some point

I support. Bit shouldn't you be able to wash dyed plastic in cauldrons like dyed leather arm our?

Hello, Minecrafters! I have an idea to make Minecraft better. My idea is oil and plastic! Yes, this has been suggested, but this is different than suggestions I have seen. First off, to get plastic, you need to get oil (or petroleum).

Mmkay

Oil is a liquid, and behaves most similarly to water. It flows as fast as water, and flows 8 blocks, also like water. Unlike water, it can be lit on fire, and will not put out fires. Because it is flammable, it can start fires. It is found below layer 58 and is found in pools similar to lava, but the pools are much smaller, and filled with oil, obviously. The pools have 5-11 oil source blocks, which can be gotten by using a bucket, also similar to water and lava. The oil buckets can't be stacked, again, like water and lava. In a furnace, it can be used as a fuel and an ingredient. If used as a fuel, it lasts for 500 seconds, and can smelt 50 items, which are both half as much as lava. The oil bucket is not consumed after being used as fuel, so you can go refil it with more oil. If used as an ingredient, it will give you 1 Plastic item. The bucket won't be consumed during the smelting of the oil. Eh...

(Sorry if it doesn't look good, I'm not a master texture artist, and I have no idea why it's blurry.)

The plastic can be used to make Blocks of Plastic, which provide for compact storage. Like other storage blocks, you can put one in a crafting table and get back 9 plastic.

(This explains the crafting recipe. Please excuse all of the blocks of coal and stuff.)

The plastic can be used to make Plastic tools (pickaxes, swords, axes, etc.) The plastic tools are crafted just like other tools, but plastic instead of planks, cobble, iron ingots, etc. I'm not sure if there should be plastic armor, there is a poll for that above. Plastic pickaxes have more uses and can mine more blocks and mine them faster than Stone pickaxes, but have less uses, can mine less blocks, and mine them slower than Iron pickaxes. Plastic picks can mine every ore except Diamond, Emerald, and Gold Ore. Plastic Shovels and Axes
mine blocks faster than Stone Shovels and Axes, but are slower and have less uses than Iron Shovels and Axes. Plastic Swords deal as much damage as a Stone Sword, and have as many uses as other plastic tools. The same is true with Plastic Axes. Plastic Hoes have as many uses as all other plastic tools.

Have you ever heard the saying "Plastic Tools Suck" Plastic being on par with iron would make no sense whatsoever! It should be higher than wood at best!

Plastic Blocks and all Plastic Tools can be dyed with any type of dye. If you put a Block of Plastic in a crafting table with a dye (Bone Meal, Ink Sac, Rose Red, etc.) you will get a block of plastic of that color. If the block of plastic is dyed, it can't be turned back into plastic, But not to worry! If you fill a cauldron with water, and use the dyed plastic on the cauldron, the dyed block of plastic will turn into a regular block of plastic, which can then be turned into 9 plastic (Credit to the cauldron idea goes to TheKlemms). You can also do this to dyed plastic tools to turn them back to regular plastic tools, but plastic tools can't be crafted back into sticks and plastic. Not to mention dyed plastic blocks and tools look amazing!

Like we need more colored blocks.

So, in conclusion, Oil and Plastic add a new fuel, a new block, new tools, new decoration blocks, a use for cauldrons, and realism, which is why they should be added into Minecraft!

No, No they shouldn't

So, what do you think? Please comment on and support this idea! Thank you!

I think Bah...
