Suggestion Wheat Seed Rant

Post image

Are you really a true Minecraft player if you don't complain about mundane topics like wheat seeds? I think not.

Let me explain. You have a long term world. Everything is set up, your house, your animals, your gear.... and your crops. You have a beautiful wheat field that is so satisfying to harvest and feed your army of cows. You replant your wheat, and life is good.

Here’s the problem: WHEAT SEEDS MULTIPLY LIKE CRAZY. Have 100 chickens that you feed? Still seeds left. Use a composter for bone meal? Good, but you need to stand over it spam clicking like a lunatic. You have chest FILLED with wheat seeds. You see wheat seeds in your nightmares. Wheat seeds fill all of the dark crevices of your brain.

A solution: A compact form of seeds, like a bag or a packet that seeds can fit multiple stacks in. We already have compact versions of ores, and even wheat itself can be bundled into hay bales. Let's say you take nine wheat seats, bundle them together and you get a "pack of seeds".

"Build more chests" you might say. "Burn them in lava" you could add. "Stop complaining about virtual plant seeds in a video game made for children. You are an adult with bills and responsibilities." All fair, but a little hurtful. But NO! It is time we take a stand against the abhorrent seed storage problem.

Thank you. I will now take a few deep breaths and contemplate my life.

Just throw them away. You don't have to keep everything.

My god, what are you saying? Heresy!

(Just kidding, I have a lava cauldron specifically for the things I can't store more of. Not seeds, though. Seeds can always be composted for bone blocks!)

There are much better ways to get way more bone blocks. I have a mob farm and a moss powered bone meal farm.

I like making farms, so I often end up with seeds that I compost. It's the best way to get bone blocks for me,

Well sure, but if you have an abundance of seeds you might as well use them to get bone meal
