    A little extra chunky, that prospect - I'm with you.

    Fantastic! Thank you both for sorting this out. It feels good to not have to risk wrecking stuff simply for bottles of breath.

    Which reminds me, I need to get you a set of nautilus armor from my stash for the non-stackable filters.

    Given nothing more practical has come up, I'd love it if we could go with this. Did @teaearlgraycold ever get back to you in DMs/on server?

    Maybe? A bit of quick testing shows that a brush can attempt to be used on most anything, but output is limited to the suspicious blocks by default. OTOH, there is an advancement that fires when brushing an armadillo, and tracking it firing (then resetting), then testing if that armadillo is wearing a dragon head (which should be achievable with commands) could trigger spawning a dragon's breath on a cooldown. Could all be done with command blocks, and thus a datapack.

    ETA: I'd need to test in local creative a bit to be certain, and I haven't the time and spoons to devote at present - just time. Getting a community special armadillo in town, plus the inherent cooldown on successful brushing would keep it from feeling free, I think.

    Next time I spin up my own server and have updated the pack from 1.16 fixes, happy enough to share. It's too antiquated to even function right now, I think, and was meant to smooth QoL issues that largely no longer exist, and act as support for my extensive command block systems. Thus not something I'd want to add as a standalone anywhere, and of limited use.

    A wretched pain to implement as a crafting recipe (presuming it's even possible, given my understanding of the limits of the crafting system unmodded), but it'd work for a command-block based converter, though it'd probably be a sizeable stack. A shame, because I'm definitely tickled by the notion too.

    Oh! If us making a custom recipe datapack is acceptable, I've built and maintained my own for servers I've run, so would be more than happy to contribute. I was just going the minimalist route for my suggestion out of long habit.

    ETA: I've tried that tool before, but it looks like it's had some upgrades. I'll poke around and see if it does a good job with what in generates in terms of accuracy, syntax, and minimal fluff.

    I don't like something for nothing. Happy to write a slightly more complex command block to exchange Dragon's Breath for an appropriate material sacrifice, if desired.

    I am! I didn't expect we'd be upgrading to it this season. I've been looking forward to craftable name tags and direct use of deepslate, in addition to a tidal wave of baby animals.

    I appreciate the offer, but I got it done. Excavated 50% in 1 block layers, pale mossed it with bonemeal, started hoeing it, got massive non-stop mob spawning, then lit it all on fire and dragged a handful of iron golems around on leashes while cleaning up the stray bits. I'll just skip the hoeing next time. It's much more fun than just digging, if only somewhat faster.

    And, cheap for just pick repairs, iron golem mats, and bonemeal.

    Could you remind me why you don't use elytra, again? I avoided it due to it being non-renewable and me being a danger to myself and others in flight, but demand seems to have stabilized and lots of practice has gotten me down to just intermittent turf screwing.

    I don't have litematica, so can't help with this particular project. Still have a lot of digging to do out at my place, anyhow, no matter how little I'm enjoying it now.

    The article really doesn't shed light on anything new, just old, obscure, and - as @lynxy said - increasingly unreliable, provided you were already steeped in the old lore. It's a great primer for getting more out of searches if you use them in the way most do, but it's only more, not actual control like we started out with.

    What they said is is no way rebutted by reading the actual article.
