Hey i got I mod Idea but i don't know, how to mod. The idea is the like every so often a meteor fall and when it hits the ground and it leaves a crater. Also the meteorite could have like two new rock types. 1 is I have no clue on the names but you can make like tools out of it. The tools wont mine as fast as gold and diomand. But it will last alot longer then them. The second rock would be a just like a new but has very little use for it but it looks cool for building. Also maybe like 1 or 2 new mobs will spawn when it hits the ground.
Ya I heard about that. Mod but I have seen terria, and it is alot different then minecraft and i like Minecraft as it is. But I really want meteorites blowing up my house and all the things I said really dosen't change the feel of vanilla Minecraft.
I think that perhaps a meteorite event should be like lightning... A purely graphical occurrence (cause less lag than a block falling?) and where it strikes an explosion should occur (randomly the power of dynamite x.5, x1, x2...) and leave noticeable changes to the terrain affected... Trees near by the impact should catch on fire, grass should burn away, smooth stone should become cobble, gravel fused to form smooth stone, sand turn to either glass or sandstone...
Also, since most meteorites that make it through the atmosphere are mostly composed of iron the perhaps there will be a chance of finding from 1 to 6 iron ore blocks or from 1 to 3 iron blocks in the center of the crater.
If you want to make it more complicated, the a special ore could be found at the impact... but there could also be a chance of nearby mobs going in sane... 'Mad Cow Disease from SPACE!' type thing...
List of possible diseased and mutated mobs include...
Pigs -
Zombie Pig Men
Creepigs
Spiderpig
Sheep -
Ghast Sheep,
Cows -
Mad Cow (zombie? Very hostile Cow)
Chickens -
Chicken Bones (fire arrows like skeletons)
Well good luck if someone try to do this

I have seen that mod but it is for Minecraft 1.2. The explosion size would vary and it would happen Not that often.
