Small suggestions (Spawn cactus, change TNT recipe, throw items further, improve lumien) #179

I must praise the work here. I've been playing this game a lot since then.
I wanted to mention some suggestions if it's possible. I know they should belong in their separate issues, but I think they're mostly small.

1. Cactus could spawn naturally again.
   I don't think a "desert" biome is necessary; they could generate in certain dry/temperate biomes, much like there's sugar canes in certain swamp biomes. Currently, cactus is very hard to find, as they're rarely sold by villagers.

2. The current TNT block recipe doesn't make much sense.
   It uses wood and flint and steel, which can't be stack. It could be made with sulphur lump, coal and paper.

3. The player should throw items further away.
   The thing is that the player drops items too close, which re-acquires again. This becomes annoying when the player needs to drop several items.

4. Lumien items needs improvements.
   The only block that looks decent in buildings is the reinforced lumien block. The stone with lumien also drops a whole lumien block rather than crystals (Idk if it's intentional). Lumien crystals are also displayed by their model rather by their inventory icon when they're drop.

1. Rejected. Cacti are not entirely removed from the game, but I classify them as an exotic plant now. The official unofficial cactus lore is that they come from a land far far away so this is why you can only get them from traders. I plan to add a few other exotic plants in future. And having some difficult-to-get items in this game is intentional. But new trader balancing is also on my TODO list, as well as more traders in general
2. Good point, need to think about this. I agree flint and steel is annoying as resource
3. I could do what MC does: Refuse to collect the item you just dropped when you don't move
4. Hmm yeah, the "raw" lumien may look somewhat odd but that's the point. It's raw. I don't know how it could be improved. The drop is intentional. The model is also intentional.

1. That makes sense :S I also thought about the fact that it's meant to be unique to find.
2. Good to know.
3. Sounds clever, although, the player wouldn't still grab the items once moving? Unless the player walks backwards or something.
4. I was thinking about a "refined" or "polished" version of the raw lumien, which looks rounded in texture. (maybe something like metal blocks or placed jewel)

   If not, then the raw lumien texture could be changed to be more proper in some way.

Thanks for answering, too!
