Simple question:

How might I go about modding in longland grass straw thatching?

[Vattic]

The only way I can see it working currently is to have a custom reaction turn longland grass into longland grass thatch blocks but everything I tried didn't work, I don't think I fully understand the reaction raws. I was trying to do this for my human mod.

I don't know if it's possible to have thatch as it's own item that you can build with, hence making blocks, but I'm not certain.

I've yet to see anything regarding thatching at all, until now.

A custom stone called thatch or some sort, would be a start, a reaction to produce said stone would be required.

You could make this reaction require long land grass.

(This is not a working reaction, this is off the top of my head, if it works, that's amazing! (I don't know reagents very well.))
[REAGENT:PLANT:NONE:GRASS_LONGLAND:NONE]

Hmm, ok

Thats a pointer in the right direction atleast, thanks

If you're using a dummy "Stone" block, then you would use the following;

[PRODUCT:1:100:BLOCK:NONE:INORGANIC:(stone_name)]

For a wood block (which might be easier), you use a different format;

[PRODUCT:1:100:BLOCK:NONE:PLANT_MAT:(name of tree):WOOD]

At least that's what it should be, judging by the wiki.

Shameless plugging time: I have a minor mod that includes thatching (although you have to make the thatch from thread, you can't make it directly from any plants). It also includes clay and ceramic bricks: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2427
