Is it possible to rear sheep? I fear I will need a great many.
Wait, isn't blue dye made from that really rare ore?
It's not that rare and you get lots of dye from one block. But essentially, yeah.
And no, no sheep rearing (y,j). So you'd better get sheep-hunting.
Sun came out in the end - must have just been lag.
Kill them!
(There's a limit to how many mobs are active at one time, and wool doesn't re-grow once removed, so get a pack of wolves and a bow and arrows and go hunting.)
Collect a load of stuff and then when you get home build something. REAL LIFE MINECRAFT!
Also you can dye the sheep and then take the wool which is a more efficient use of dye.
Too late, I'm home now. I did collect... uh, 4 buckets of water, plus sugar, plus red flowers, but can't build much out of moulded plastic and 12 litres of Coke. :(
it doesn'r rain on sand that is underwater - mad
also, I have a ton of that blue stuff if you want it
oh, and lava can fuck right off
