Stick Baskets

[Emeal]

I started a new round of VS today, playing the 1.22rc8 without mods to check the experience... could not find Reeds for over an hour, turns out my island has no reeds.

Could we have a stick basket for these situations? Love Emeal.

This is one reason I like the trees module of Wildcraft. It adds canes to some leaf drops, which can be used to make baskets and things in a fashion similar to reeds.

Though I would say that to keep things from being too easy, the player should perhaps need to use a knife to split the sticks into suitable material for basket weaving. Or perhaps the sticks would need to be freshly cut from a branchy leaf block, since dry sticks don't really make for good baskets.

I think it'd be nice if we could have an alternative for all reed items honestly. Imagine your spawn has no reeds within, like a 5000 block radius or more? (Fun fact, this is the if you try to set spawn in a colder place)

The first mod I ever installed was probably Grass to Ropes followed by Limestone Speleothems. That's how early in my journey with this game the lack of reeds in certain climates bugged me. Also, the first post I ever made on the forums was a suggestion about adding rushes to the game for cold climates!

Leaves, sticks, grass, wild vines, a new reed, whatever, if it is realistic enough then it should probably be added to fill that lack of reed.
