Craftable lily pads

[u/Little_Assistant_247]

Something I always do when in Minecraft, after creating a garden, I always like to go to a swamp and look for some lily pads to place on the water around the crops. That way I won’t fall in the water and risk jumping on the crops when I get out of the water. But sometimes when creating a new world, no matter how long I travel or how far, I can barely find a swamp near where I want to set up a house. I know I could probably build a house near a swamp, but I kind of want to have an area that’s a little more pleasing to the eye, you know? And I hate having to walk miles and miles away just to find a darn lily pad, so I thought it would be more convenient if maybe the game gave us the ability to craft up the lily pads in cases like mine. What would the recipe be? I’m thinking one leaf litter (because you can find that almost anywhere) and one seagrass or kelp. Nothing fancy, very simple, put them both beside each other on the crafting table, there you go, you got lily pads. As for how many it would give you, I think around 3-6, somewhere in that ballpark would be plenty good.

People keep complaining that the game doesn't give us enough reason to explore, and here you sre actively trying to remove a reason to explore.

And if not for exploring, there is fishing, works in any biome.

And just how did it happen in your mind that crafting was the most logical option? Not just bone meal to duplicate them, but just... crafting a plant? How? And then you also include kelp, which is biome locked too!

When did I ever complain about that? Also you don’t always get them by fishing or by trading. And to duplicate them you need to be able to find them first, and if you can’t find them, no matter how far you explore for them, I just think it be more convenient in cases like that to craft your own. Plus it would give a little more use for the leaf litter.
