With the construction hammer, having a second-hand storage unit to craft things in seems pointless. This is especially true when you consider that creative mode has everything craftable from the menu already.
I’m not saying to get rid of the Artisan bench, just to give us the ability to craft decorative items from the construction hammer as well.
I have heard this many times and understand why someone would like it in some cases, but the artisan bench has a gazillion ingredients when building various decorations. I dont know how others play, but its my junk drawer. The idea of picking up the junk drawer and carrying it around while decorating is repellant to me. When building, its a select few ingredients to carry (brick, reinforcements, wood and a couple other things).
I agree, carrying around a gazillion junk items is no fun. But you know what I find repellent? Carrying around a gazillion furniture pieces with a hot bar that only holds 8. Hence why I suggested to keep the artisan bench AND let us craft from the construction hammer.
