New Concept - Plants that happily grow deep under ground... on bare Smooth Stone...
I would very much enjoy if someone created this mod... ^-^ I'm not any good when it comes to coding.
The mold would be similar type entity as the Snow. NOT SNOW BLOCK! But the very slight layer of snow that lays on everything in the tundra biomes. You know, where you get snow balls from.
Instead of just forming on the TOP of terrain though, Molds would grow up walls and across ceilings.

Molds could have various uses, but the first that comes to mind is Food.
Some molds could be bio-luminescent and give off light at about 5 or so.
You could collect mold similar to how you collect snow balls.
It would grow best on stones near water.
At least two colors to begin with, red mold(Likes Lava) and green mold(Likes Water)... One could be poisonous.
Over time mold could spread, similar to how grass does... but much slower. And it does NOT like light (except lava..?)

I just made an attempt to code it myself, but I'm totally lost now... I've got NO coding background.
I'll list here what I want this to do... Please, if anybody COULD create this... well... I'd appreciate it.
ALL MOLDS - Looks similar to the Snow. (Not snow block, but the snow that is found on the ground in the tundra biomes) If a regular block is 16x16x16, then Mold is 4X16X16
Grows on Floors, Walls, and Ceilings*
Grows on Smooth stone & Cobble stone**
Basic Mold - Green
Block type - Plant
Appears only in light levels 8 and below
Does NOT grow in light levels of 8 to 15
Has the potential to spread in light levels lower than 8
Dies in light higher that 10 (11-15)
Grows at any depth or height
Can be harvested by Punching and will drop 4 Green Mold Balls***
Emits light at level 8
Biome - N/A, Subterranean
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire Mold - Red
Block Type - Plant
Appears in light levels 13 - 15
Spreads in light of 13 - 15
Dies in light lower than 12
Grows only below sea level
Punch to harvest, Drops 4 Fire Mold Balls***
Emits NO light
Biome - N/A, Subterranean
Special Note for Fire Mold - Only survives near lava (2 - 3 blocks away)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mold Notes -
* This may require 3 different builds...One for Floor Mold, Second for Wall molds, and a third for Ceiling molds. Unless the orientation can be determined, the graphics could be an issue as would the dimensions of the mold.
** I WANTED to have them grow on Ore blocks to obscure (not destroy) the ore, and possible grow on Traps and Furnaces. That seems like too much work though.
*** Mold Balls could be used as Food, Light, or a variety of other things

Basic Moss - GreenGray
Type - Plant
Appears - 5 - 10
Spreads - 5 - 10
Dies - 11 or higher
Habitat - Log, Plank, Smooth Stone, Cobblestone
Biomes - Rainforest, Swamp, Seasonal Forest, Forest, Woods,
Discription - Hangs off of the bottom of branches or grows down/up tree trunks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lichen Moss - Varies Green - GreenBrown - Brown

Appears - Any light
Spreads - Any light
Dies - If harvested
Habitat - Smooth or Cobble exposed to surface
Biomes - Rainforest, Swamp, Seasonal Forest, Forest, Woods,
Discription - Grows to engulf stones exposed to the open air.
Yeah I think this is a good idea, maybe the person who does this could also include the following features:
[*:268676na]The mold will sometimes grow mold fruit. Which, has a pretty big chance of being poisonous, and has a relatively small chance to be pretty good for your health (or the poisonous ones can be treated somehow to be useful.) [Poisonous Mold Fruit - -3 Hearts. Mold Fruit - 3 Heart.]
[*:268676na]Although mold will grow in some illuminated areas, it will not be able to take immense levels of light (mold will not grow in sunlight, and will fade.)
[*:268676na]The mold may grow other weird items that may be of use. (you can think of something, like plants with gunpowder.)

This is different from Moss... though I did toy with that idea a bit also... And I don't want to make mossy cobble any less rare.
I want Mold to grow deep in caves to provide Miners the ability to grow and gather a type of food native to that terrain and not have to build huge intricate farms... though that IS fun. Still, miners will have to resurface for wood.
I really like this idea, but I'm not so sure the block needs to be collectible. Just have mold spawn mushroom spores that occasionally seed the surrounding area? Returning the properties to mushrooms that make red ones hurt and brown ones heal, they could still be combined for the stew. I just think having a slowly spreading plentiful source of food would be a little unbalanced, but the occasional patch of mushrooms balances it out. I really dig the idea of a blue/green light. I also think the fire stuff should be yellow, and I'm not so sure about all the other lichen you mentioned. I wish there were streams with rapids and rocks in them, I might be more into the lichen idea.
I remember the mod I was working on for a bit, Zombie Apocalypse, it reminds me of this because I made it so when you right-click mossy cobblestone the moss dissapears and you gain half a heart... o-o
awesome. I would make it (if possible) that mold "stinks" so you could craft some mob-repelling block from it or mobs would avoid it and not spawn near it, because the light levels are dodgy.
I would very much enjoy if someone created this mod... ^-^ I'm not any good when it comes to coding.

I think I'll might consider adding some of those concepts Shade. ^-^
Can you please add some models or pictures?
Thanks
