I'm now starting to make the plant textures.

What if minecraft had alot of new ores and plants in the game? Even you know that would be pretty epic... So I developed some ideas for this mod!

*NOTES*

I've seen other mods that have similar content in them as this, i'm not (stealing) the ideas from them. I thought this was cool and so wanted to share it with anyone who is willing to read some ideas. I might make this myself, but I sometimes I don't have time to be on the PC. So don't Expect this mod to come out very soon.

*Ores*

+ Carbon: I don't know why I wanted to add this, I just thought you could use it to make diamonds or something.
+ Silver: Replacement for gold, slightly more common but the same durability and strength. Same with armor.
+ Ruby: weaker then sapphire but same durability as iron. No armor.
+ Sapphire: Better then Ruby but with the same durability as diamond. No armor.
+ Magnesium: Replacement for flint in any recipe.
+ Tin: When smelted with copper, it creates bronze.
+ Copper: When smelted with tin, it creates bronze.
+ Bronze: Used to make tools and armor stronger then leather and stone, but weaker then iron.
+ Limestone: Smelted with Iron to create steel
+ Steel: Isn't natural, made by smelting limestone and iron. Used to make tools and armor stronger then iron yet weaker then diamond.
+ Platinum: Used to make tools and armor stronger then diamond and obsidian.
+ Nickel: Used to make jewelry, and coins. Used for trading with villagers.
+ Brass: Used for Jewelry. Made from smelting Zinc and copper. Used for trading with villagers.
+ Zinc: When smelted to together with copper it creates Brass.
+ Quartz: Used to create tools stronger then iron but weaker steel. Used for trading with villagers.
+ Jasper: Spawns like gold, used for jewelry and trading with villagers.
+ Topaz: Spawns like gold, used for jewelry and trading with villagers.
+ Garnet: Spawns like gold, used for jewelry and trading with villagers.

*Ore Spawning*


+ Carbon: Slightly more common then diamond.
+ Silver: Slightly more common then gold.
+ Ruby: 2x More common then diamond.
+ Sapphire: Slightly more common then diamond.
+ Magnesium: Spawns like coal.
+ Tin: More common then iron but less then coal
+ Copper: Same as tin except slightly more common
+ Limestone: Spawns like coal.
+ Steel:
+ Platinum:
+ Nickel:
+ Brass:
+ Zinc:
+ Quartz:
+ Jasper:
+ Topaz:
+ Garnet:
(Sorry I got lazy here)

* Plants*

+ New (Beach) Biome.
+ Two block tall grass.
+ Blue flower.
+ Purple flower.
+ Orange flower.
+ Hem plants.
+ Corn plants.
+ Palm trees (Same texture as jungle just alot lighter).
+ Coral (Orange, Purple, Blue, Brown).
+ Bananas and coconuts.
+ Apple trees.
+ Orange trees.
+ Oranges.
+ Palm planks same as birch.
+ Quicksand: If you get caught in this, there is no way out unless you have a rope, the more you move or jump the faster you sink.

*Plant Spawns*

+ Two block tall grass: Meadow and Jungle Biomes.
+ Blue flower: Wherever.
+ Purple flower: Wherever.
+ Orange flower: Wherever.
+ Hem plants: Preferably in jungle.
+ Corn plants: Forest and jungle biomes.
+ Palm trees: In beach biomes. (derp)
+ Coral: Most commonly inside lagoons, but still is everywhere anywhere underwater.
+ Bananas and coconuts: Get them from breaking palm leaves.
+ Apple trees: Forest biomes, less common then birch. Apples from destroying the leaves, 1 apple per leaf.
+ Orange trees: Forest and jungle biomes.
+ Oranges: Get from breaking orange tree leaves, 1 orange per leaf block.
+ Quicksand: spawns commonly in jungle biomes

*Crafting*

+ 3 string on top of each other makes rope. You can use this to throw and climb up it, (like a grappling hook).
+ Obsidian tools: Normal tool crafting recipe.
+ Carpenters Table: 1 crafting table surrounded by wood planks.
+ Forge: 1 furnace in the middle of a crafting table surrounded by iron. This is used to smelt 2 things together.
+ Anvil: Just an iron block, repairs items by right clicking. *Example: You have a half broken iron pickaxe, you walk up to the anvil with the pick in your hand and right click. Although that won't work because you need an iron ingot to repair. Then the ingot disappears and your pick is repaired.
(My fingers hurt after this)

*Mobs*

+ Villagers: Look more human, and will attack you if they are provoked. Also more items for trading: gold, iron, wood, cobble, food, etc.
+ I want to add some kind of flying mob, like a bird for example. Tell me in the replies what you think this should be.
+ Fish: Spawn in water and can be caught like a normal, nonexistent fish.
+ I'm a big fan of anything in relation to a dog, so maybe I could add, Coyotes, Foxes, and maybe there should be something special about certain wolves, like if a wolf was slightly more of a light color, it could run faster, or if it was darker its attacks would do more damage.

*Weapons*

+ Knife: Crafted with 1 stick underneath 1 of any of the following: wood, cobble, iron, sapphire, ruby, quartz, silver steel, diamond, obsidian.
+ Longbow: A carpenters table is used to make this.
+ Long sword: 1 stick underneath 3 of any of the following stacked on top of each other: wood, cobble, iron, sapphire, ruby, quartz, silver steel, diamond, obsidian. Requires a Carpenters Table.
+ Spear: Crafted with 3 sticks underneath 1 of any of the following: wood, cobble, iron, sapphire, ruby, quartz, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian.

*Armor*

+ Gloves: Any of the following on the bottom left and right corners of a crafting table: iron, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian, platinum.
+ Chestplates: iron, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian, platinum.
+ Leggings: iron, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian, platinum.
+ Boots: iron, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian, platinum.
+ Helmets: iron, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian, platinum.
+ Rings: Silver, ruby, sapphire, steel, platinum, nickel, brass, zinc, quartz, jasper, topaz, garnet.
+ Necklaces: Silver, ruby, sapphire, steel, platinum, nickel, brass, zinc, quartz, jasper, topaz, garnet.
+ Bracers: iron, silver, steel, diamond, obsidian, platinum.

*Thanks*

Thank you for reviewing my ideas, and commenting your opinion on what I should add and change about this. Sincerely, Coyote_Race

These ideas are probably the best I've heard, i'm definitely going to use them. Also thanks for the 1+, I dont even know what they are though. XD

I forgot that bronze isn't found naturally. Although what would tin and copper be used for instead of making bronze?

Ya, I might not add those. It's probably going to be very difficult to code. Also its not very realistic either.

*Took the meteors out, along with the crafting the required them.

I'll look at it when I feel I'm done with this http://www.minecraft...0#entry17327675 but I'm not sure about whether I'm able to do Ring, Bracer and those stuff though.

edit: or did you plan to code it yourself?

Neither do I to be honest, I think it is supposed to be a rep thing or some way for people to get notice.


I am glad you think so, its something I've actually wondered about for a while now, not many mods out there really stop to redefine crafting in minecraft, they tend to simply change the mechanics of the crafting table, or make a new one and give it a new GUI, while that works in a general form, I find that any mod desiring to actually be considered realistic when it adds or changes the majority of the game, it needs to do it from the ground up, and for me, what makes minecraft what it is would be the mining, crafting then building aspects of the game, followed closely by exploration and survival. So why make all of these neat little things and then leave it all possible in just two blocks, the crafting table and the furnace? To me that just seems to be...negligent, even for the mods that do recognize that and attempt to address it, they don't quite accomplish it because they either require dependencies or are a future based modification.

Sorry for that. I felt a bit profound I guess and digress. Take it or leave it, I meant nothing towards you or your idea with it, though I suppose it could apply in some fashion.

+1 for many thoughts and the time taken to put all this down.

I like the looks of this mod.

Yes, tin and copper make Bronze.

I am also thinking that instead of a 'large' crafting table like just about everyone else, setup a carpenters or related table to allow you to make a long bow, a blacksmith's table for the long sword, this could also mean using the two new items to forge/make all metal tools while the crafting table remains in use for just about everything else. Even the boat could be made in the carpenters workshop instead.

Just a few thoughts to help out.
