You know the moon you see at night. Its always there. I always wanted to go there. So here's the plan...
Craft a space shuttle
:Flint and Steel: :Flint and Steel: :Flint and Steel:
Legend
Iron Block-
Redstone-
FlintnSteel- :Flint and Steel:
Then place it on the ground and right click it ONLY AT NIGHT you will start to teleport to the moon (like when you teleport to the nether)
It will load and all that, and at last, you will be in the moon! You will jump 2x. The moon will be made of some new sort of moon block. And when you dig, sometimes, you will find a moonstone.
Hope someone makes it :wink.gif:

I hate it when a rare pokemon appears and you weaken it with a weak attack when suddenly your pokemon does A CRITICAL HIT!!!
dude why not have it let u fly to teh moon wuldnt that be better but harder for the modder

If you know who the man in my avatar is without googling/looking at my profile then you know how big things can start and how other people get blamed for it.
Good idea, but the construction needs to be more balanced. Usually you can find that stuff within a good 1-2 hours of playing. Sometimes less. I get the iron block, but iron is so common.

It seems like something many of us want, as it's been suggested a number of times before. I think for it to make sense, it would require a great deal of fleshing out of the tech tree... going from rail to space flight is a little unrealistic. It should probably require some type of rocket fuel, among other things, and be crafted in modules that are then joined together, instead of a single crafting session.
Try adding four new "Cockpit", "Booster", "Fuel Tank" and "Shuttle" blocks. The shuttle will be a small cockpit icon, the tank will be a large cylinder, and the boosters will be two small cylinders.
The boosters and tank will be required to be "refueled" with sulfur and/or redstone, or perhaps a lava bucket... They will need to be stacked somehow in the crafting table, and perhaps crafting would look as follows:
Cockpit
Iron Ingot = Iron Blocks
EDIT: Now that I look at it, this might be a better cockpit:
Fuel Tank
Gold Ingot = Gold Ingot (or blocks)
Booster(s)
Iron Ingot = Iron Ingot (or blocks, defines difficulty to get)
Fire = Chosen Fuel
Sulfur = Sulfur/Redstone Torch perhaps?
Water = Lapiz Block (Ensures good exploration before being able to go to the moon)
And now for the ship itself...
Shuttle
Orange Wool = Fuel Tank
Torch = Booster(s) (If you only want to use one booster, put it on bottom and the fuel in middle and cockpit on top?)
Notch = Shuttle Cockpit
And perhaps you can even incorporate pistons somehow, like you need a piston pointed upwards to launch it. :smile.gif:
I actually kinda wanna do this now... xD But I don't have too much experience with modding, especially for extra nether-like dimensions. So anyways, that's my input.
EDIT: So you know, this is based on the Solid Rocket Booster (x2), the External Fuel Tank, and the Orbiter from a real space shuttle. Technically, the Fuel Tank and Boosters fall off, but they are recovered so it makes sense they would be in Minecraft. I shall ask my brother tomorrow (He's an aerospace engineer) about the technicalities of the design. (then again, it's Minecraft, it needn't be exact)

I will use this idea.
the rocket is the easy part to code.
"The Space Shuttle is the world's first reusable spacecraft, and the first spacecraft in history that can carry large satellites both to and from orbit. The Shuttle launches like a rocket, maneuvers in Earth orbit like a spacecraft and lands like an airplane. Each of the three Space Shuttle orbiters now in operation -- Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour -- is designed to fly at least 100 missions. So far, altogether they have flown a combined total of less than one-fourth of that."

My idea is when you right click it shows you blasting off from a 3rd person view up into the sky then you are on the moon.
That would work, too, which is the kind of thing I was thinking at first, but perhaps when you're done if you want to add more that could be the next project?
EDIT: I was just taking a little from each respondent, trying to make everyone satisfied (I know, that's lame and unrealistic, but with so few people it may just be doable... for this thread anyways... haha)
The rocket should be an item so that it can be placed and there will be several blocks placed, if you know what I mean. This lets you have a more realistic (height wise) rocket. And there needs to be a bit in the code that checks above and around (so the third person view doesn't mess up or "the smoke") the rocket is air.

Thanks for using it, now I feel all special
Anyways, no need to really credit me but it'd be nice if you did give a link to my server page? I'm trying to give it more publicity haha
I can't wait to see the mod when it's done!
EDIT: Now that I look at it, this might be a better cockpit:
That does seem better
Perhaps, you can make it like an airplane in the planes mod ( http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/182918-172-166flans-mods-planes-v15-roll-controls-ww2-guns-vehicles-moods-teams-mputils/ ), but when you fly into the height cap directly instead of dying you transport to the moon going down at the same, opposite angle (angle of deflection) and have to land on the moon, and vice versa? This would be harder, but wayyyy more fun. :biggrin.gif:

well then I guess I'll have to finish before you. I'll be done with moon beta by Wednesday at the latest.
And you MUST put the citation of your finished mods here, okay! Thanks for making this

! I love the idea :ohmy.gif:
Would be cool to see some sort of rocketship :tongue.gif:
