Convert Coal to Diamond, blocks, and tools. All with balanced costs.
Description:
Adds the ability to craft 9 coal into a Dense Coal block, similarly to iron, gold, and diamond blocks. Then using 9 Dense Coal blocks, you can craft a diamond. Meaning the exchange rate is 81 coal per diamond. There are also coal bricks, and a full set of coal tools. (Tools are slightly faster than Iron, and have slightly fewer uses.)
With the expensive version, you must first create coal bricks, then use those to create dense coal. Meaning that the cost is doubled. Notes:
Nothing special or creative, but as far as I can see, it hasn't been made before(at least, not within the last couple minecraft patches), and it is my first mod, so I figured I might as well practice on something practical. I've actually really struggled with Minecraft modding though. I have experience with a wide variety of other things, like python, TES Construction Set, and CSS mapping, etc. but Minecraft definitely has the worst tutorials of anything I've learned(I mean, I looked at half a dozen different beginner tutorials before I found one that actually worked, and they all did things completely differently from each other. But that's just because Minecraft updates so frequently, I'm sure.) I did my best, but if you see that I did anything wrong, or have any suggestions/criticism, please let me know.
I would like to continue expanding this, as I get better. (Oh, and I had added armor to this, but apparently it's impossible to make it modloader compatible with 1.0, so I just left it out. Once there's a way to do that, I'll add it back in.)

Installation:
Just copy everything in the zip folder to your minecraft.jar, and delete META-INF, if you haven't already.
Always make backups of both your minecraft.jar, and world. :smile.gif:
I always have had the idea of coal tools and blocks. I actually made a thread about coal blocks, nice job! And great diamond idea. I think this should be in the game, lol.
I fully understand the coal -> diamond thing, that's cool. Coal brick is strange.
What's the point of coal tools, though? On your first few nights, you're going to be using wooden and stone tools. Most coal will go into smelting and torches. From there, most people continue using stone tools, or iron and diamond tools. Why are coal tools needed?

Just to add more features, really. It isn't needed, but some people might want it, so I might as well make them. Plus, they look cool. lol
I figured some people wouldn't want it though, which is why I made a version without them.
Looks nice.
Kinda cheap though. I'd suggest doubling the price. Maybe make coal bricks?
2 coal --> 1 coal brick.
4 coal bricks --> 1 coal brick block.
9 coal bricks --> 1 dense coal.
9 dense coal --> 1 diamond.
That'd put you at double the cost. Plus if you made it so you can use the objects as fuel in the furnace, one coal brick would last exactly 64 smelts using this method.

have you seen the beer mod?you can make a block, special furnace for example that changes dense coal into diamonds in 1-3 days or below Y:15(pressure and temperature reasons, just an example) or something like that.agreed with the 1st 81 coal is almost nothing.also if the charcoal could do tools would be more practical since as said before the first coals are used in smelting.ill keep watching the thread, seems pretty interesting, keep up the good work.
I was considering putting in a compressor block or something, but I kinda wanted to keep the mod simple at the same time. I might do it though.
Okay, I added the expensive version. You have to use coal to create coal bricks, then use those coal bricks to make the dense coal, so it will cost 162 coal per diamond now.
Decent mod, I think I've either seen this once before here, or another mod. But it's a nice concept, however I'm pretty sure where ever I saw this before it required you to burn the dense coal in the furnace and the result is a diamond. Made more sense to me.

I thought of this too, but really it's more about compression than heat or anything, so this makes abut as much sense as you can make without adding some kind of compressor, which would actually be kinda cool but is kinda beyond the scope of this mod.
Really like the concept of the mod, great for when you're 20 hours in and you've hollowed out that mountain for your home.
nice job! ive seen other mods similar to this, but yours is the only one i know of that has enough variety for four different versions. i like it a lot!! especially the expensive one. I MUST HAVE MOAR COAL.

Good job on the mod, though!
I could include a more expensive version if you want.
I'm not sure I understand.
I did include a version of the mod that doesn't have the tools though, if you'd rather use that one.

Only if you give me your soul though...MWHAHA

Lol, you read my mind. That's exactly what I did.
I was considering putting in a compressor block or something, but I kinda wanted to keep the mod simple at the same time. I might do it though.
Thanks, do you mind if I put it in the first post?

But I'd hate to access my rooms of chests of coal and charcoal for it...
