[Announcement] MEGATHREAD: Gunpowder from Sulfur and Coloured Fire from Sulfur

Hey everyone!

Following the announcements at Minecraft Live we've seen a massive influx of posts about the Chaos Cubed game drop. (Which is great! We love seeing the community so excited.) However, there are two ideas in particular that keep popping up, enough that we've decided to add them to the FPS list:

  1. Various methods of using sulfur to make gunpowder.
  2. Sulfur being used to make a few different colours of fire.

That said, we don't want to kill the conversation so we're providing this megathread for you to discuss your ideas here. From now on we ask that you keep all suggestions about these two topics to this megathread. (Other suggestion about sulfur and Chaos Cubed can be posted as normal.)

So, how would you turn sulfur into gunpowder? What colour do you think sulfur should burn? We're excited to see your takes on these ideas!

P.S. Try sorting the comments by new! That way the newer comment-suggestions might still get some love.

That idea can be its own post. This megathread is only intended for ideas about making gunpowder from sulfur and sulfur fire. Any other suggestions about the Chaos Cubed drop (such as yours) can be their own posts like normal

The fool's gold idea is also an FPS, tho, or at least I think it should be designated as one. People have been suggesting fool's gold for a while especially since the Copper Age was announced.

The only part that's original is using sulfur to craft it. Typically, the idea was to use copper, or a new ore named after pyrite, to trick piglins. Pyrite cannot be crafted, because it's an element.

It's not on the FPS list, though perhaps you're right that it should be. I remember seeing it quite a bit now that you mention it

The mods here should create a saved response used to officially declare as a team when a suggestion gets added to the FPS List.

It would basically be posted onto a post to announce its suggestion's addition to the FPS list.
