[Suggestion] Add Missing Blaze Powder to the `c:dusts` tag

Open ffuentesm opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

Compared to the previous version, the Blaze Dust is missing from the Dust Tag list.

Just add this file to the src/generated/resources/data/c/tags/item/dusts

{
  "values": [
    "minecraft:blaze_powder"
  ]
}

As well as change the dusts.json file in src/generated/resources/data/c/tags/item/

{
  "values": [
    "#c:dusts/glowstone",
    "#c:dusts/redstone",
    "#c:dusts/blaze",
    {
      "id": "#forge:dusts",
      "required": false
    }
  ]
}

I'm on the fence about this one. I would like to hear from more people on this. Does it make sense to have in the tag? And it won't interfere with people currently consuming the dust tag right?

I agree that blaze_powder should be added to the dusts tag, its the dust variant of blaze and tbh most mods already treat it as such from what ive seen.

Pulverizers/Crushers crush blaze into blaze_powder (vanilla also does this via shapless crafting)

From fabric post, someone said:

If blaze powder is a dust, then presumably gunpowder is a dust as well.

I believe the origin/use of the dust tag beyond just redstone dust and glowstone dust was to collect modded machines crushing ingots into dust form and then sticking it into the tag to group it up. Just as background info

Yeah, in my mods the only time I really use dusts as a hierarchy is to know that dusts/<metal> can be smelted into ingots/<metal> making its value exactly 1 ingot (no ore multiplication).

Glowstone and redstone don't fit that (anyone adding ingots/redstone means something very different, usually they go with something like ingots/redstone_alloy). Redstone could just as easily be c:redstone or c:powders/redstone and it wouldn't impact the usages. So blaze powder being a dust or not has no impact on me; are people adding alternative types of blaze powder?

So there’s:

Gunpowder Redstone Dust Glowstone Dust Blaze Powder Concrete Powder Powder Snow (Powder Snow Bucket) Sugar

If someone can make a list of which ones should go in the dust item tag and what the javadoc should say to make it clear why just those items are in the tag, then I think we can make progress.

Any "dust" that is a full block certainly does not belong there, or you have to add sand and gravel. At that point the tag lost all meaning and is just a philosophical categorization.
