I'm thinking that there could be little flying minicreepers (fleepers? flypers?) that land on sand blocks and blow up just one sand block, but it's enough to set off a cascade, and they'll ALWAYS try to do it when you're standing on unsupported sand.
ON TO THE IDEA!
Going with trees and crystals in the Aether, why not combine them? CRYSTAL TREES! I am a huge sucker for rock-like trees, sucker for anything that is non-organic that still grows really. Like a robot that evolves and thinks for itself. Or a tree made of CRYSTAL! Yes, and this tree only blah blah blah Aether.
ATTRIBUTES! (I'm a leeeeettle excited by this) IT'S GOT CREEESTAL LEEEVEZ! The leaves are actually what makes this tree valuable to the peoples who seek to conquer the Aether. For every leaf block broken you have the chance for the crystal tree sappling of course, but a slightly larger chance of getting a preserved leaf. And dammitall I lost where I was going with that. ****ing distractions and there shinyness... Blargh. Anyway, shiny = sappling and maybe shiny which may do something incredible other than looking nifty.
Oh wow, that's nice as well! If it isn't trees made purely of crystal, maybe them floating on crystal bundle/have crystal growths?
I was gonna say that the logs from this tree are a lighter shade of brown. Tan or khaki? And they burn blue! When brought down from the Aether to Minecraftia. Musta slipped my mind in the midst of not remembering what the hell I was goin' on about with the leaves.
look, lets try to focus more on mobs, I swear once I finish my work here (points down to work on desk) I will help make the epic mobs around 8D

One needs to develop the enviroment first to better judge what creatures should inhabit it. We could go at it reversely but we've already started with the enviroment. Though I suppose we could just hurl it all out the window and begin anew with the mobs. But I don't think the others here who've invested a great deal of time and imagination on this would be so willing to let it all go. Also, Avianmen.
Honestly, I'm not even a fan of my own Floatstone/Skystone idea. The Quickstone, I could take it or leave it. If I had to make a list, it'd be Aether - Aetherstone, Songstone, Crystal; Nether - Darkstone, Lightstone, Netherstone, Soulsand. Frankly, considering the fact that the Aether will have Sand, Gravel, Dirt, Stone, Water, Snow, etc where the Nether is basically a half developed realm... I think the Nether could do with some loving and get Gravstone. Especially since there is no sky.
this is suuuuuch an awesome idea... i dont normally look in the suggestion forums (i got here searching for something else lol) does notch ever check these? Coz how could anyone NOT like this idea!!
I love the way i get no credit for any part of this even though i made the original idea... ._.
also, what about the idea for marble as the portal substance? i had gotten kind of attached to the idea. and i had an compromise idea for light hurting you: how about the crystals we talked about before hurt you when light passes through it? they could be floating above the islands, and you cannot walk directly underneath them, because there is a level 20 light (or something) and it will burn you, or light you on fire.

Grey gave you the chance to speak up in your last thread, you just never answered. He even said he'd be making a new thread on the subject, but in a more organized manner. No one took credit for the idea itself, just a few of the blocks and mobs, maybe, as far as I can tell. (Except for Connour, I think he likes the attention :tongue.gif:)
I find I'm more of a chatterbox idea starter. Except crystal trees. That's totally mine. Don't give a damn what anyone sez. It's a whole new idea and the logs burn BLUE. Who doesn't want blue fires leading up to the entrance of their castle/house/mine/holeinthewall?
however, they could change it to peaceful and no mobs will attack UNLESS they are mobs that are peaceful and can still attack with the peaceful setting
I am now making Darkstone a very useful tool to avoid the over saturated light, it will protect you from the rays and it will be over abundant in the safe zone areas (to such an extent that you have enough to mine but still not enough to over spawn heaps of monsters) and you mine it when you want the ability to place it. Overhanging structures and islands will also protect you from direct sun damage, thus the value of a house increases (the house that features a roof).
A while ago, I had an idea for light sponges. Darkstone could be a similar object.
I think that ou should only be able to get through the Aether through a portal, and that you can't fall into the normal world through it. You would just fall into the void and die, and respawn at your spawn point. It's mostly because for the Aether to actually be a separate realm you should only be able to get to it through the Aether Portal.
Just saying'
Also, has the OP been updated with all the official decided upon ideas?

thheeenn, make wood placed under direct sunlight burnable, this instead of direct sunlight damage
also, glass under sunlight becomes intensely overheated and dangerous, counteracted by darkstone :>

Thanks, voicelessbard for the great avatar and sig! (search him in the MC forums)
and marble, overland substance or nether substance?

cough, refer to my list on the first page before you post new blocks (jks, just no floatstone or darkstone) :tongue.gif:
