And one more idea...
I'm still thinking of blocks and items/mechanics which would be awesome in the mod.

One issue that every group member will have, assuming that players would group up to attack bosses or other players, is that some kind of party system would be wanted to stop friendly fire.

Imagine that you are tanking a boss mob, and your healer mistakes healing beam for arcane bolt... That is a situation nobody wants to be in!

I propose two items to fix this... the Soul Stone and the Ritual Table.

Once a player crafts and rclicks on a Soul Stone while holding it in his/her hand, the stone remembers some information (the soul) about the player. Later, that stone could be inserted into a Ritual Table, and your friends would insert their stones into the table as well, therefore officially proclaiming a party! (Or linking of souls if you'd like...)

What this would achieve is a block of friendly fire; spells like chain lightning would not target linked party members and would attack other entities instead. On the other hand, spells like chain heal would instead only target linked party members!

Some kind of GUI information of party members' health/mana/buffs would be appreciated!

At first I was kind of excited about the to-do list countdown thingie but now that it has been 4 days and it hasn't gone down (not complaining or anything, just stating) I'm wondering if it's not worse for my (im)patience >.<

That would be better done with a keystone, each partymember hold a pre configured keystone and as a result the spells dont cause effects, however those with out the correct keystone recieve damage.

Also Mith a good Idea I had is:

Mana Pools. VERY VERY EXTREMLY RARE pools of liquid mana (Blue, green, pink or whatever... maby with a snazzy partical effect).

What they do: When you stand in the SOURCE block not a flow block you get a very effective mana regen buff. Also when you use a bottle on it you get 3 greater mana potions till the source runs out, like a cauldron. Also to makie it fair base it of lava code so that infinite springs are impossible.

I would love to hear your feedback about this idea, thx -Onoi

Actually wondering why it seems that a lot of people not just play AM 1 till AM2 comes out. It isnt THAT much different. Also it got some sort of custom spell mechanic already ... okay, far away from the mechanic of AM2, but still.
A lot of stuff in AM2 is the same as in AM1. At least it looks like it.
