Writr posted a message on ~***Whitestone - an alternative power source***~Currently people are calling the stone in The End realm whitestone, however that name IS conjectural so I am using Whitestone for the name of my idea here. The two are not to be confused.Posted in: Suggestions
Appearance/States
Whitestone appears a lot like whitened coal, only it has the background of Netherrack against it to blend in with the area, like so:
When mined with an iron pickaxe or greater, the ore becomes whitestone dust, like so:
Whitestone dust can also be crafted into whitestone coal, and appears as so:
Whitestone Coal Recipe

Whitestone Coal
What Does It Do?
Whitestone is actually capable of doing a lot, possibly changing how the game could be played. However, I have done my best to keep it as balanced as possible.
Holding Redstone current: Whitestone dust acts like redstone dust, holding a current when activated by a lever or redstone torch. However, it will not cross with redstone, meaning that you can have whitestone running over redstone and the currents will not interfere with each other.
Dying for more complex circuitry: Say you want to have a really complex redstone machine, like a computer or something. Well, by dying the whitestone, you can change it into different colors, such as blue whitestone, green whitestone, and even pink whitestone! Differently-colored whitestone dusts will not cross currents, so you don't have to worry about going way out of your way to make an amazing machine.
Different-colored "whitestone" torches: With whitestone you can also craft whitestone torches, which act exactly as redstone torches, only the lighting changes color based on the dye you have. For example, a blue whitestone torch will emit pale blue light, green will emit green, and so on and so forth. This allows for a lot of awesome lighting effects, adding greater diversity to the game.
Reinforcing blocks: Some blocks, when surrounded by whitestone coal, become reinforced, making them impervious to explosive attacks (i.e. Ghast bombs, creeper explosions, and TNT). Blocks that can be reinforced include: wood planks, cobblestone, glass, and sandstone. Reinforced wooden planks will not be destroyed if set aflame.
Crafting recipe for reinforced blocks:
Reinforced blocks retain the same durability against tools as they would normally, but are not craftable in any way (so you can't make a reinforced-cobblestone-pickaxe). While not the prettiest blocks, they can serve as special protection in areas where you might be using TNT or building in the Nether.
Smelting items for longer: Whitestone coal, due to its Nether-y nature and ability to hold a charge, can be used as fuel in a furnace. Compared to regular coal (with which you get 8 items smelted per coal), whitestone coal will smelt 32 items before becoming depleted.
Where Can I Get Whitestone?
Whitestone is found in the Nether, as you can probably tell from the images. Unlike redstone, however, whitestone is found in the upper layers of the Nether; the higher up you are, the better chance of finding whitestone you have. As it is, whitestone ore is fairly common in the upper regions of the Nether. Whitestone coal can also be found in Nether dungeon chests, though it is rare.
What is the Point of Adding This?
For one thing, it adds something more to the Nether while not completely changing the overall atmosphere of the region. What I mean by this is that it isn't so special that every player is going to go after whitestone ore when they get to the Nether; some might go for it, others might choose to ignore it and hunt Blazes and Ghasts. It could be added to the game and some players might not even realize it or care about it.
That said, whitestone could completely change how players interact with the game. Some players might go for whitestone due to its redstone properties, others might hunt for it to reinforce their houses. Still others might use it for fuel or simply to add more ambient lighting to their structures. The possibilities...well, they aren't endless, but there are certainly a lot of them.
Anyways, I hope you all like the idea, and feel free to give me your honest opinion. If the blocks in the End realm do officially become Whitestone, I will find a new name for this ore. :smile.gif:

Title says it all.
I think it'd be nice if Slimes spawned at ground-level in swamp biomes.
But they shouldn't drown.
Since slimes have a tendency to die in water, we'd probably want to see a new slime mob that is immune to drowning.
Some thoughts on the spawning behavior of slimes

Menen posted a message on Desert Sand vs Beach SandCacti can spawn on any sand, which means they can spawn on beaches.Posted in: Suggestions
I think they should have a specific Sand, dirt and Stone textures for Desert Biomes.
Desert Sand
Desert Dirt should have a reddish color to it. And Desert Stone should look like Limestone. - To post a comment, please login.
