I don't use EE for philosophical reasons, but I noticed that these 2 items have the exact same recipe. How does this work out without a CT3 on servers with EE enabled?
simple, they dont. In the middle of the rether pearl you uses ender pearls, in the case of the "P-stone" as some says, you uses a diamond.
The recipe may look the same but is different, the REther Pear takes a ender peral in the middle and the Philosopher Stone takes a diamond in the middle.
Woah... Okay. I feel dumb now. I must've been high last night when I made this so inaccurate observation. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. ;_;
