Custom Material recipes:
Wither Bone - Wither Skeletons will now have a low chance of dropping Wither Bones that can be used to make Wither Bone Meal and Wither Bone tools and sword.
Wither Bone Meal - Unlike normal Bone Meal this can't be used to grow plants, but instead turns Grass Blocks to Dirt Blocks and Dirt Blocks to Coarse Dirt Blocks. It also has a very small chance to make Wither Rose.
Steel Ingot - Just place the iron ingot back into the furnace and it will start smelting it into steel ingots, but the smelting time is much longer.
Blaze Gold Ingot - Made using 1 Gold Ingot and 4 Blaze Powders, place the Gold Ingot in the middle and than place the 4 Blaze Powders next to it in the form of a plus sign.
Soul Shard - You can make Soul Shard by placing Soul Sand into the furnace, it will start smelting the Soul Sand giving you Soul Shards.
Soul Spark Dust - You can make Soul Spark Dust by combining Soul Shard with Wither Bone Meal.
Soul Blaze Ingot - Made using 1 Blaze Gold Ingot and 4 Soul Spark Dusts, place the Blaze Gold Ingot in the middle and than place the 4 Soul Spark Dusts next to it in the form of a plus sign.
