Thunderstone is a modification that adds new lightning themed tools, weapons, and armor!

Kudos to Cojomax99 for coding help!
ANNOUNCEMENT: If you make a video of Thunderstone, whether it's a tutorial, showcase, or Let's Play, please inform me via reply or PM so I can put it up on this post! :biggrin.gif: Youtube videos are hard to find because apparently there's a Finnish metal band with the same name. :tongue.gif: (They're pretty good, though, check them out too. XD) The New Blocks:
Thunderstone Ore and Compressed Thunderstone
Thunderstone is rare in that it only spawns when lightning strikes. This means that you will have to play on a difficulty of Normal or higher. Here's an example image for proof:
Punching Thunderstone Ore will release a bit of electrical energy. Compressed Thunderstone will always emit electrical energy.
(Note: these do not power Redstone and do not affect Redstone in any way, as Redstone is an ethereal entity with powers greater than none has ever known.)
Now just because there are 11 blocks when it's generated doesn't mean that everything is going to come by easy. This mod was designed with difficulty in mind. Thunderstone Ore blocks drop 1-3 Thunderdust when destroyed. After that, they're taken to a Crafting Table and used with Iron to make Thunder Coated Ingots. This is the recipe:
Afterward, they'll need to be taken to a furnace for refinement:
Clearly, that's a lot of work for a little pay out. With the unlikely chance of thunderstorms, and requirement of Normal or higher, Thunderstone items are really difficult to acquire. But if you manage to gather some, these are a few of what can be created:
Tools
Currently they're nothing special, besides that they look freaking awesome. In the future they're planned to spawn particles when they hit/destroy/till things. I made sure they were stronger than Diamond just because of the sheer amount of difficulty it is to obtain them. They're all crafted like normal tools.
Armor
Notice the amazing lightning bolt across the chestplate, and on the back of the helmet. When you have the full set equipped, this armor is resists lightning and fire damage.
The Thunder Gem armor is similar to the Thunder Ingot armor, except for the fact that it negates fall damage!
Compressed Thunderstone is assembled by placing Thunder Ingots into the 3x3 grid. It can be reduced back to 9 ingots by placing it back into the crafting grid. Just like other metallic blocks and Lapis.
1.5 Item Crafting!
[NEW!] Thunder Wand
[NEW!] Thunder Coated Diamond!
[NEW!] Thunder Gem!
(sorry for the large image, wouldn't let me crop for some reason. :/)
(Thunder Glass is recoverable!)

DOWNLOAD:
V1.5.4!
AdCraft link, the super awesome Minecraft themed AdFly clone! Click it to contribute to my funds, and you'll be super awesome too! :biggrin.gif: http://adcraft.co/153
Impure Thunderdust (A suggestion by Tolovefurikuri): I'll be working on this next, probably as a low chance random drop by using the tools on their designated material (I'd like to have particle effects when the block breaks too, but we'll see). I'll also probably add a filtration block, kinda like a furnace.
SuperCharged items (A suggestion by Doss2007): It's possible that I might be able to have super charged items that break more than one block at a time. I'll work on it.
And More...
Change Log:
Version 1.5.4: Fixed not being able to create Thunder Arrows.
Version 1.5.3: Fixed not being able to create the Thunder Bow, added Bow related achievements.
Version 1.5.2: Fixed Thunder Pickaxe not being able to harvest Compressed Thunderstone.
Version 1.5.1: Fixed the Thunder Sword not taking damage.
Version 1.5: Updated to Minecraft 1.8.1, added Achievements, added Thunder Gem armor, added Thunderstone Torches and Thunder Glass, changed the Thunder Hoe's tilling area to 3x3, removed Thunder Armor's immunity to lava.
Version 1.1.5: Added Thunder Wand with the ability to spawn blue lightning, removed lightning code from Thunder Sword (V1.1), fixed effectiveness on Obsidian (Thanks bankshotstudios for pointing this out), hopefully fixed SPC's WorldEdit SuperPick "//" function crashing the whole game and corrupting your save when mining Thunderstone Ore.
Version 1.1: Added Thunder Bow, and Thunder Arrows. The arrows are supposed to glow in the dark, but I'm not sure that it works, because it works in Eclipse, but not in minecraft. Also added TNThunderdust, which has the power of an electrified Creeper. And I added a new Lightning entity, which is blue, and doesn't transform Pigs or Creepers; currently it is created with the Thunder Sword.
Version 1.0.2: Edited Lightning to generate glowing Thunderstone instead of regular thunderstone, and added one more fire around it to even it out.
Version 1.0.1: Added infinite glowing capabilities to Compressed Thunderstone, and added fire around when thunderstone is generated.
What makes this tool and armor so special? Not to sound mean, We need to know what it does before anyone downloads. Also, some pictures of it in the game would be nice.
HarpSeal, I planned on doing that, and it's something I would like to have done on the next release.
Shadow of Israphile Fan, thanks for backing me up.
The rest of you, I will have more pictures soon. I actually have them all uploaded on my other computer, I just had to leave right when I was making the topic, so just calm down.
your welcome btw if you need help with textures or want ideas tell me i can try to help
p.s this mod might get in to my mod comp pack i am working on called other worlds pack
including aether and ice mod :laugh.gif: and other grate mods and more to come so pm with mods you would like in it and i'll check if they work aka compatible DIAMONDS TO YOU sooooo i'll give you updates Malqua
Gimme Bacon: I definitely can't not guarantee that it won't not work.
MonkeyMan12: Pics, it happened alright.
Shadow of Israphile Fan: You can go ahead and integrate this into a mod pack if you like. It should be completely compatible with everything, unless there's a conflict with c.class, which is the Lightning Bolt entity. I had to edit that to spawn Thunderstone, so if any other mod uses c.class for something then this and it won't be compatible, probably.
Two (storyline) reasons:
1) If you burned Thunderdust, it would be destroyed.
2) Iron provides the least electrical resistance of the metals available in Minecraft, so Thunderdust is able to arc, effectivly fusing it with the Iron.
and one real reason:
1) If you smelted it it would be way too easy to make Thunder Ingots.
very interesting...i like it, im going to bookmark this thread untill there are some more updates within the mod =] good luck man and i cant wait for the finished product
as hard as these are to make u should make them last forever along with a lightning power or hell make 1 item that does everything easily kill, mine, dig, all lightning items glow in dark, hell even make it so u can just mine the lightning stone brick for lighting blow glow.
even make a lightning rod... xD
but yes i like pics.
i do support u, but u need to make this mod worth downloading..

I can verify the use of lightning creation in one of the items.
As for total-op, that defeats the purpose. It's difficult to find, but if you made it completely OP, then once you made it, you'd never have to make it again, making the "difficulty-to-find to actual-usefulness" ratio very out of balance.
Thunderlord, thanks for your ideas, and I'm letting you know I'm working on a few things with this mod at the moment.
Currently I'm working on particle effects for when blocks are broken. When they get broken, a burst of energy will appear.
I also have plans for a lightning rod type item that will spawn lightning, but to avoid infinite collection of Thunderstone it will have to create its own lightning entity. This lightning will be noticably more blue.
Edit: Aedwine7, that is an amazing idea! If it happens, it will likely use thunderdust instead of Gunpowder.
Thanks everyone for the support while I am learning/working on this mod!
I feel that you COULD make it to where you have to create the ingot, but also smelt it. just an idea for extra difficulty :3

95% of teens would scream if Justin Beiber was about to jump of the top of the Empire State Building. If you are in the 5% that would grab a seat and some popcorn and yell JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! post this into your sig.

Doss, that's technically possible because SuperLlama did it with Runecraft. I can work on it, too.
