One idea would be to use a minecart with a glass lid for the cockpit, it would look like so:
xxx
xyx
xox
Where x = glass, o = minecart, and y = empty space
Another thing, try having it where you make the engine with a furnace. The recipe I'm thinking of is kinda complicated, and requires you to craft multiple parts for the final engine. I'll explain it later.
All in all, I like this idea. You should take this to someone experienced in making this kind of mod, like the guys behind the aether collab. I really want to see this get made!

Nice, 21 people veiwing at one time, and I swear I had this idea this mourning lol, but you put a lot of detail into this, this would be an epic mod. I was thinking, instead of just the moon, outer planets, each with their own set of moons 0-3, and asteroids that can hit the planets, some planets could be very life supportive and others could be like giant rocks, kinda like the game Spore, you can plant trees and build an atmosphere, after an atmosphere is built, the rest of the world generates like a normal world would, and the already generated chunks grow trees and basically regenerate.
...Now you dont want to go wearing a pumpkin helmet all the time do you? So you would need some way to generate air.
TREES! Yes, growing a tree would make a certain area around it fill with air...
Lol, did you know that algae produces over ninety percent of earth's oxygen? (those tree-huggers better start hugging algae then)
Anyway, a pretty cool idea. Although, high-tech rockets seem a bit un-Minecrafty. Perhaps it could have a Minecrafty texture, like Notch did with the Pistons.

Well, i had to think a lot about this idea and i think it's possible (ignoring the incredible recipes of course^^). Well, I think I could starting modding it, but I don't know if I'd have enough free time and also enough skills.
Lets see:
Making a pile of gunpowder with 8 gunpowder like this:
And with 8 pile of gunpowder you could make fuel^^
Then the recipes would be possible.
I don't have the skills to make that mod I think (but a copy of minecraft as well^^)
It's just to hard to understand notch' code, because he just writes bad codes...
Also I'm not that "graphic skill guy"^^
Well... I can't decide if i should start modding this or not...
except the whole square would be gunpowder, the middle would Not be blank space.
anyway, it still wouldnt be enough Gun powder.
I'd say a minimum of 30 gunpowder would be required to make a booster rocket.
I don't mean to rain on your parade,but nobody will make this mod. It'll be too much work, and many people have suggested/requested it. But the planting trees thing is a great idea. Terra-forming the moon to become habitable is a refreshing take on the age old "Go to the moon in Minecraft" idea. (If you don't know what Terraforming is : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming )
Actually we could live on the moon after scientist discovered water in the north and south poles of the moon all you would need is to take some CO2 from our world until an atomsphere forms and than bring some dirt and plant grass and it'll create 02 and with 02 humans could possibly live on the moon. But that'll take like forever >_> that's why no one has done it.
this is a great idea, even though there are people trying to make mods like this. nothing i can say, and i suck at making banners so... anyway maybe have mod copatibility with the portal gun mod? shoot the moon, shoot at a surface, go into the portal, loading screen, AND YOU ARE ON THE MOON!
Alright, this is a pretty complicated mod, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was never made. Then again, whenever notch says something is impossible, a mod of it shows up on the forums within 45 minutes. SO anyway, on to the mod.
MOON mod!
Have you ever gotten tired of your own world? You tried going to the nether, but come on, is it THAT interesting? Well, then, what say you take to SPPPPAAAAACCCEEEE!
The Rocket: A Space rocket would be pretty hard to make. Perhaps it would require 3 booster engines, each of which require gunpowder and iron.
ooo
oxo
ooo
X for a stack of 64 gunpowder, and o for iron blocks. Yes, that's a LOT of creepers.
A Launching tower to help you get on the rocket and stop it from tipping over, also it would allow a place for the rocket to be placed, making easier for programming.
xox
xox
xox
o is blank space, x is iron ingots.
The cockpit would be glass, and a minecart.
xxx
xyx
xox
x is glass, y is empty space, and o is the minecart. (thanks DJ Arctic 2454 for the cockpit idea.)
I'm not sure what the recepies for the rest of the rocket would look like.
And maybe a furnace surrounded by iron ingots would make a special bench that would alow you to put the diffrent components of the rocket together.
The MOON:
The moon is a harsh place to be, because of course, there is no air! To start your civilization on the moon, you need to wear a pumpkin helmet to stop you from taking damage. (the damage for no air would be the same damage speed for drowning, but instantaneous.)
Now you dont want to go wearing a pumpkin helmet all the time do you? So you would need some way to generate air.
TREES! Yes, growing a tree would make a certain area around it fill with air, and maybe the air would move around a bit, like water? that way you could channel it into rooms. Tree air would have to be a diffrent color than normal moon air of course.
NOTE: There is not "dirt" on the moon, the surface is stone, but if you dig deeper you get moon rocks.
Whats the benefits?
Moon rocks!
Well first of all, moon rocks are very conductive for portals. But that's neither here nor there. What the REAL benefit of moon rocks would be, is the fact that they speed up your walking! Thats right! you move almost twice as fast! \
white creepers: These albino creepers are a very rare occurance that only happens on the moon! Now you may be wondering why a white creeper would have benefits,but the thing is, they drop white gunpower, which you can use to make TNT in a 4x4 crafting space!
xo
ox either x or o can be sand/white gunpowder.
OH ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING! Its always night on the moon, and normal mobs spawn there, so you better watch out.
Do you like the idea of this mod? REALLY like it? well then you could start developing it! Now if you arn't the developing sort, then it woud be great if you could make a banner to go with the mod!
AND THATS ALL FOLKS!
i think i would make the mod if i knew how to wich i proboly will just so i can see this mod! its a great idea but the booster has to be more practicle i mean something like this:
Errmm... I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade (Not to repost what someone said), but I am actually working on a moon/mars mod (With absolutely NO idea how to make mods). Just going to test my block soon. As for banners, I can't help you with that. But maybe when the mod I am working on is done, I will try to make some. :biggrin.gif:
this is a great idea, even though there are people trying to make mods like this. nothing i can say, and i suck at making banners so... anyway maybe have mod copatibility with the portal gun mod? shoot the moon, shoot at a surface, go into the portal, loading screen, AND YOU ARE ON THE MOON!
hah, portal 2 referance. but to tell you the truth, making it compatible with the portal gun mod would make it too easy to get to the moon.
i think i would make the mod if i knew how to wich i proboly will just so i can see this mod! its a great idea but the booster has to be more practicle i mean something like this:
:Flint and Steel:
yeah, its not supposed to be practical. getting to the moon is HARD.
I think this is too complicated. The guys working on the ather thing have been at it for a loooooong time...
I never said this should be made in a week. In fact, if it was made in a week, i wouldn't use it, because it wouldn't have a lot of time to flesh things out.
i have. I think it was the expanded 2x2 crafting mod?
thanks!

Lol, did you know that algae produces over ninety percent of earth's oxygen? (those tree-huggers better start hugging algae then)

thats why its a MOD... M O D!
and people say MY idea would be too much work.
good idea!
Lol my idea would take FOREVER to make.

ah true, maybe a iron block at the top? (you just gotta have iron!)
oh good job sir! props to you!
