Barrel (Ex Nihilo)

The Barrel is one of the most basic but most useful blocks in Ex Nihilo. It can be used to process a wide range of biological materials into Dirt, to collect Water from rain, or to perform certain combinations of fluids and items.

Recipe
The color of the Barrel created is dependent upon the Wood used to craft it.

Usage
The Barrel has a very wide range of uses in Ex Nihilo. As a warning though, do not attempt to put Lava into a Barrel. While the processes can still be carried out, the Barrel will start to smoke and catch fire within a few seconds. To safely carry out operations with Lava, use a Stone Barrel.

Water Processes
If a Barrel can see the sky and it starts to rain, water will start to collect in the Barrel. It takes 10 seconds of rain to fully fill a Barrel with 1 Bucket of Water.

When a Barrel has been filled with water, several additional effects become available.
 * If a filled Barrel has Stone or Cobblestone blocks near it, and those blocks cannot see the sky, then those Stone blocks will start to become Mossy Stone and Mossy Cobblestone. However, 100mB Water will drain from the Barrel for each Stone block converted.
 * If a filled Barrel is sitting on Mycelium, Mushrooms will start to appear, and the Water will slowly begin to change into Witch Water.
