With so many renewable items, maybe we could make a Middle Earth Skyblock map?

@AlteOgre

I consider all of your points as renewable, except treasure chest loot (because the chests are not renewable). It is a common practise to build farms that kill mobs for items, including stuff for the unsmeltery. This way you can get tons of metal without ever going in a mine.

Traders are the borderzone. A limited world has only a limited number of non-travelling traders, which means it is not sure that all possible sale offers exist. That means technically normal trader offers are not in every world renewable. Travelling trader offers are renewable. Hence my initial point of questioning whether using the tag would add any value at all, if you consider almost anything renewable. And, indeed, I never use automated farms, I consider that lazy fart behaviour, a form of cheating the gameplay mechanics, especially in relation to the intended theme of this mod (medieval technology and realism) and I'm just a stubborn aulde fart, so eh, nevermind. ;)
