...and while breaking balances it, it doesn't really make much sense, I mean it is really just some gears rotating with nothing in them. Ahh, but it has to grind the Stone into an finer form. in real life, if it were to be ginding items 24/7, there would be a chance of it jamming, and possibly exploding. But now that I think about it, I'm more on Direranger's side. you'd have to re-craft it with new stone slabs and new gears. How would it explode? It could definitely jam, and it might throw things, but I can't imagine (metaphorically) that (unless you were milling gunpowder) it could explode, as it has no combustible stuff, being (basically) just a bunch of rocks.

MinecraftMage113 - I think that the first part is off-topic, as he is just suggesting additions to the current millstone,  I have a hunch that, before long, Mevans will have finished the redstone replacement, and that is why he added the millstone, sort of like the Esgaroth stuff a few updates back. I've seen a stone mill explode before with my own eyes, because it had been jammed for too long. Did it explode like dynamite, or explode like a rock that is smashed with a sledgehammer, or something entirely different? a rock being smashed with a sledgehammer, but the rock is a millstone and there is no hammer. OK! That makes sense now. When I hear/see "explosion", I think "ashes and shockwaves and flames, oh my!", so that is why I was confused. In that case, I agree with you.
