Well guys, version 2 of Cloud Mining is out and is pretty epik. In version 2, we have updated to Beta 1.3 thanks to smith_61. So, basically this mod adds a new block that looks like a cloud. It generates right above cloud height in this pattern:
[] [] []
[] [] [] []
[] [] []
That shape (3D of course). Clouds can:
Have a torch placed on them
Be grabbed with a bucket
Be placed with a bucket
Broken with a single click
This, of course, is for version one, the first release of cloud mining. Cloud mining will progress to a greater mod, hopefully, with your guys' support. If anyone has any revisions to make, the source code is included in the download!
Big credit to: Seronis, who did most of my coding for me

Well, I wanted to find THE ULTIMATE TOOL! My idea takes ideas from this thread. So, basically, I wanted to have an ultimate tool, but oddly enough, it grows like a flower on the ground. Click it and put it in your inventory! It has the qualities of ALL diamond tool in one compressed item! Of course, it isn't easy to find. First of all, once it broken down, you can't plant it again, essentially. And the only way to get it is to make a dowsing rod to search for it, otherwise, it would be quite hard to track down! It should spawn at least, oh, 20-30 chunks away from the players spawn, and can spawn in underground caverns and dungeons, but not in dungeon chests. The dowsing rod could be crafted like this:

[]
[]
Where could essentially be anything, possibly iron rods, make from 2 iron ingots (only makes 1 rod)
That was idea #1. Next, takes ideas almost directly from the other thread. Basically, it works as the one above, but, there are 9 artifacts that have no power by themselves (are stackable) and can only spawn ABOVE GROUND, at any height. You must take the 9 artifacts to craft them into the ultimate tool.
would have to be pretty sweet and useful for me to jump around on clouds to mine
diamonds wouldnt cut it
so?
Extract of cloud :biggrin.gif: Pure white, no shadows, and 9 in a blockshape would make a cloud block. Then we can float north lazily, waiting to get to our mining base so we can do stuff.
Maybe you can place it on top of another block, then remove the block under it, and it functions as a sort of half brick, but a little large, like 4x4 or 6x4 and you could jump on it. And yes! Cloud Shoes! Maybe.....

where is a cloud. You son't need clouds to MINE them, but in order to walk on them, take 4 clouds and arrange tham as shoes in the crafting bin!
Gods...imagine the possibilities that could open if this were to be made. Along with this and perhaps an increase in the maximum height or something like that...we could have yet another otherworldly place like the Nether. We could make the Aether/Heaven! :biggrin.gif: Ooh that excites me.

SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT AND KEEP ON GOING. <3
You actually can increase cloud height! I forgot which mod, though. BUT AETHER FTW! Anyways, we could build entire structures on top of the clouds, because cloud blocks would be placeable! You could make many cloud platforms! I just need a modder...
Lolwut? This actually sounds pretty funny. However, what's the use of cloud? When it's moving, will you move with it? When you place the cloud, using your bucket, will it just create a small puff of cloud that will move to the north like every cloud?
Well, actually, I was thinking that the Bucket of Cloud could be put in the crafting bin to get 4 pieces of cloud (or some amount). Also, I was hoping clouds that are placed become static, meaning the do not move.
Wow, you wrote A LOT! Well, sounds cool, but that's the Aether. My suggestion would be incorporated as a mod into regular gameplay, not another dimension :tongue.gif:

For Support:
Copy and Paste this in your siggy!
Heaven is not a place, or a time, it is perfection.
So, when YOU start touching perfection, you will start to emerge in heaven.
(please dont hurt MR.Creeper, he only wants t-SSSSS-boom! uhh...give you hugs!)
IM DECIETFUL!

= Snowblock.
It's gotta be balanced. It should hold up blocks, slowly move north, and be able to be walked through without suffocating.

...CLOUD BOATS/SHIPS FTW!
Eh, while I'm tossing ideas out there, check the front post in a few minutes :tongue.gif:
