[Item] Tent

When placed a pyramid shaped hut made out of wood will pop up around the tent* and a fire (which is made out of 1 torch (on the ground) 1 piece of wood on top of the torch and two by the torch's sides) and the fire will pop up near the hut, when the tent is broken the hut and fire will disappear. *the tent is a block itself.

What is the point of it? Regenerate health quicker while inside the tent? A temporary spawn point?

say your stuck in the middle of nowhere and you have nothing but some crappy tools and a tent item and its nearly night all you have to do is place your tent and wait until day.

The fact that anyone would need this is sad.

just make a normal house?

Or make an abnormal house. Y'know, like sideways off a cliff or upside down off a floating island.

how about some kind of quick assemble tool instead?
pre set up a house, then use the tool on it to shrink it down into a single carriable item which can be placed (if allowable) with one click.

Yes. i like this idea, very much.

imagine all the time it would save, not to mention heartache when you die while building

Sweet idea. You could just take your house with you into different worlds.

!!! i hadnt even thought of that !!!

it would have to have some limitations though... say:
1) can only pick up blocks placed by you
2) cant be more than say 50*50
3) cant destroy placed items like chests and furniture or map items like shadow alters
4) cant be placed in such a way that any blocks would overlap. (so needs to be put on clear space)

I would really hope that it took your furniture, especially. Taking chests would be nice too.

would never take chests with items, maybe furniture i guess, same rules as blocks

Yeah. I mostly use chests for decoration, and I see your point. It would be cool if it could take empty chests though. [:
