Windmills, Millstones, and Refining Resources

Windmills have been something I've wanted to see added for along time in Minecraft the idea of being able to construct something and see it moving has always sounded cool and rewording.

I feel with the new crafting tables and furnaces made to be jobe oriented like the Smoker for cooking and the Blast Furnace for ore the idea for a Windmill has true ground to stand on now for being the more efficient way of Farming and creating Bread and Sugar.

The Windmill would power the Millstone placing Wheat inside when powered would create Dough cooking it will resalt in Bread for the cost of one Dough, placing Sugar Cane in a powered Millstone would result in more than just one Sugar.

The Windmill with its Millstone could also be used to create things that are not currently craftable like Gunpowder from Coal, Sand from unwanted Glass, and odd amounts of Flint from Gravel.

    This is why I love the now outdated Better Than Wolves mod. I feel like soft elements of that mod, as you suggest here, would be befitting to Minecraft. It's something I've discussed with my friends for quite some time now, and we all collectively agree. It would be visually pleasing to see active water and windmills, while being Functional! Before I die, I hope to see a farming rework with these additions. We can only hope!
