This mod will add a dimension made of a material called "Darkness". To get to the dimension, you must make a portal out of darkness, (darkness also has a crafting recipe) and ignite it with a special ignitor called "Tome of Darkness". The darkness can then be made made into Hardened Darkness which is a much harder material (and similar to stone). You can also make the Hard Darkness into Chiseled Hard Darkness for aesthetic purposes. You can smelt Darkness into an ingot, which can be crafted into tools similar to stone tools. The darkness tools also do quite a bit of damage to mobs. You can also re-smelt the ingots into crystals which are stronger than iron, but do not do much damage to mobs. And last but not least, there is darkness tainted water, which is found in the Darkness Dimension (and also made by crafting together a bucket of water and darkness). It acts quite a bit like lava, except it looks more like a blackish water.
This wouldn't be the most difficult mod to create actually, just look at a bit of vanilla world gen(A bit time consuming), add the blocks and tools wanted(which is pretty easy), and possibly add a light engine for the dimension(Hardest part by far).
My tip: don't even start this mod. It's very unoriginal, and it won't add any good gameplay to minecraft. If this is your first mod, I understand this sounds like a good idea, but believe me: it really isn't.
You should only try to make a dimension mod if it is really original and adds a realm that ''misses'' in the Minecraftian universe, and why would anyone bother go to a whole new dimension which practically has one block? Rethink this idea and add some more spiffy things to it before trying to make this, for your own good.
I realize this was probably meant to be constructive, as i too want a dimension that adds new mobs or mechanics, for example, but could you say it any more bluntly?
i would prob use this mod when its out.

EMBRACE the mods.
