If you do experience any crashes please post information such as:

• Crash/client logs
• What you were doing at the time

• New: You are now able to light furnaces if you are lacking a steel and flint with a kindling and a hot burnable item, both of which will be consumed.
  • If you happened to throw away or lose your steel and flint, you can now use hot burning items (wooden tools, wooden scraps, logs, cotton, cloth) along with a kindling to light a forge or oven.
  • Note that the item must be ‘burning’ and will be consumed when lighting the furnace.
  • Reminder: You can create a campfire using just a wood scrap and a kindling in order to get your burning wood or cloth items hot enough to light the furnace.
• New:  Added title for 100 pickaxe.
