...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.
