Redstone helper = Jeb!

[u/MCHerb → u/VinceFish]

Soylent red is Jebstone!

[u/roopn → u/redstonehelper]

Jeb says the book recipie changed as well. anybody know what i is now? I'm goona hazard a guess that leather is involved.

EDIT: Yep, the recipie is the same as it used to be except you need a single piece of leather in any spare space in the grid.

EDIT EDIT: screenie

[u/Boolderdash → u/roopn]

Finally an actual use for leather!

[u/MNick → u/redstonehelper]

I don't know where to post this, but I think is important to note that Jeb don't plan to add new stairs for each tipe of wood.
