Yeah, if I had extra time I would've gotten around to implementing most of those problems you mentioned, I just unfortunately fell short with how long it had taken for me to get the menu design up and running. Some of it also kinda relies on Minecraft knowledge since I figured it may be for the best unless I want to include all recipies in the book since otherwise people may get stuck on trying to figure out how to craft items. Either way or neither,  there's not really much of a clean solution since I had set out to have some more recipies with the idea that people could experiment with various recipes to see just what all the game had in store, but that's probably not the best thing for Game Jams like these now that I've gotten the chance to play other games and the book method is probably the best for that case.

Surprisingly, in Gamemaker, the crafting system actually wasn't too bad to implement. Fortunately, it worked just as I'd imagined it aside from a bug or two that I ironed out. With what feedback I've given, I'll try to see how long it would've taken to fully get the game that I had in mind that I originally wanted to submit done and maybe update this game/others that would like to know about the update, but I do have some other games to get to finally releasing on Steam here soon and first. But I'll definitely come back around for this game in due time, though it'll probably need a new coat of paint for the true original idea I have for fully fleshing it out. It is a good foundation though, and I'm relatively happy with what was done, just wish I had the slightest bit more time to fully realize it all. But my Ted Talk aside, thank you for trying out the game, and leaving the detailed feedback. And you've got a darn good game yourself that I couldn't say much more beyond the fact that it was good. Keep up the good work on your end and I'll see what I can whip up with this project on my end.
