Why won't it let me craft sandstone from red sand? It looks like it tries but then the crafting area turns blank. Any suggestions?
EMC is still running 1.7, yet it allows 1.8 clients to run. Red sand in to sandstone is (I believe) a 1.8 recipie.
Red sand only spawns in the rare mesa biomes. Because we currently run 1.7, you are not able to craft sandstone from red sand because in 1.8 red sand becomes red sandstone, a different type of sandstone.
