Well, clouds would only be solid TO YOU. They can be used as a base for a structure, but the structure does not move with the cloud block, and if a cloud block touches something besides you it passes through it. Also, placed cloud blocks are stationary/
I honestly don't think this is possible in the world of minecraft. Or at least not how you propose it. To make interactive block objects constantly move would involve completely rewriting what blocks are. AKA, making a new game.
Creating a new block where you can only walk on them while wearing cloud boots? Definitely possible. Making these blocks collectible via a bucket? Of course. Making them move like clouds? No.
It *might* be possible to make it so that you gain a bucket of cloud if you use one (right click) while looking at/inside the cloud, but I don't think so, because clouds are a simple 3D texture render created entirely separate from the physical Minecraft world.

That's great! The thing is though that I wasn't proposing that the clouds move. Also, couldn't the map generate the solid version of clouds I proposed? Perhaps the recipe of the cloud boots may NOT include cloud boots so that they could generate the solid collectible version rather than complicating the process?
Yah, kinda, or just REALLY slow. But yes, basically replacing the existing clouds.
EDIT: How about when you put the boots on the clouds stop moving and the clouds are replaced.
The ultimate tool idea is just FAIL, and cloud mining is pretty good, but let's face it: there are problems. What happens if you're climbing a mountain and a cloud goes through it right where you are? You're pushed off, much to your annoyance and/or death. It should be that these kind of clouds only spawn high up and cannot touch any blocks you or other people have placed, so they will spawn around your sky-base. Other than that, awesome ideas dude =3 GEM of an idea

DEFINITLY true, the moving part. All these clouds shouldn't be able to move and should be stationary. Also, there should be a limit to the amount that can spawn at one time, lke there is on mobs, otherwise you could wind up with a sky that's a solid block of cloud.
Well, I did state that the clouds would be stationary, many, many times. And you'd only put on the cloud boots when you needed to, so getting pushed off of a mountain couldn't be a problem for 2 reasons. One, the solid clouds wouldn't move. Two, you could only touch them when wearing cloud boots. Also, I don't exactly understand why it's FAIL. Care to elaborate?
In Minecraft's current state, this would be impossible. Clouds are not blocks, they aren't even entities. They are part of the atmosphere, just like the rain and snow were before biomes. However, I salute your concept, and hope that Mojang completely rewrites the cloud coding just so that I can have a Nimbus.
See, these things I'm talking about aren't clouds. They are called clouds, but they just aren't clouds. They are solid, they are mine-able, this isn't impossible, it's just a block that's white (basically :tongue.gif:)!
You might want to work with the guy who's trying to make the Aether realm already c: mine clouds. Replace his dirt placeholder, cloud portal to the Aether. TEAM UP WITH HIM AND BECOME THE HANDS OF NOTCH!
It has a strange appeal O_o

Where is a cloud!
CLOUD BOAT FTW! It can fly :biggrin.gif:
