As of 1.13, packed ice can be crafted using 9 ice in a crafting table, making the custom recipe redundant. Now that the server has updated past 1.12, this custom recipe is no longer needed. Really wanna bring the game closer to vanilla
Is there a specific reason to remove it? Does the presence of the custom recipe -- which need not be used -- harm performance or play in some way? If not, removing it seems like extra work for the devs to no real benefit.
Because it is naturally obtainable in the latest version, making the recipe redundant. Not performance, but brings play further from vanilla. Notable harm is not caused, but it can be removed for the same reason why mojang is bringing parity between bedrock and java - it just makes more sense. I assure you, removing a custom recipe takes not 5 minutes of work.
Is there a difference between the two recipes? I mean it's not important but if there's a vanilla recipe now I do think the custom one should be taken out
The skyblock craft recipie gives you like 2-3 times more packed ice than regular 9xice does, so is actually very useful
Personally I agree. I prefer having the option, bring a classic skyblock custom crafting recepie. For those that wish not to have it as a feature "to bring the game closer to vanilla", simply don't use it when carfting packed ice. As someone whose built a good 1/3 of their islands out of ice, its a features I appreciate a lot being able to craft more packed ice using lapis than regular 3x3 ice does.
I like the idea of staying vanilla but it is rarely a good thing when options are taken away. There does need to be an update for custom recipes in 1.19, however.
For those in support of a more vanilla game, the main income of most players comes from magical hoppers that harvest, replant and auto sell our crops. I think it’s safe to say that we’re a long way from vanilla.
