Bone Blaze Calculator
A static calculator for converting between bone blocks and blaze rods — pure HTML and JavaScript, no framework, no backend.
The problem
Minecraft players juggling bulk crafting math — how many bone blocks does a given stack of bones make, how does that compare against blaze rod conversions for a specific build or trade — usually end up doing the arithmetic by hand or hunting through a wiki. It's a small problem, but a real one that repeats constantly for anyone doing large builds or farms.
The approach
Rather than reach for a framework or a backend for what's fundamentally a conversion formula, this shipped as a single static page: HTML for structure, vanilla JavaScript for the math, nothing else. It loads instantly, works offline once cached, and needs zero maintenance overhead — there's no dependency tree to keep updated.
Why it's worth including
Not every project needs to be architecturally interesting to be worth building well. This one's the clearest example of matching tool complexity to problem complexity — a single conversion utility gets a single static file, not a scaffolded app.
