Well, it's not like you run around Minecraft saying "Oh hey meteor." Apparently it's a rare event.

My Avatar is a Dalek, therefor your argument is... EXTERMINATED!!!
You know who can tell me something I already know? Me. All the time. I'm really good at telling me stuff I already know. I don't need help in that department. I don't know about others, but I can't imagine I'm alone here.
You know, I'm starting to think maybe it would be a better idea if it was already generated into the terrain. It would probably be only in wasteland biomes, due to it having crashed and turned the surrounding landscape into a wasteland. Now that I think of it, it would be really weird for a creative server to have something like that. I think it should be sort of an area of its own, maybe with special mobs surrounding it, possibly mutants. Maybe you could also craft something with iridium which would act like an eye of ender and lead you to the nearest meteorite.
In regards to the whole destructive element, perhaps a compromise is in order: Give the comet a very small chance of falling on newly generated chunks.
Basically you'd be exploring the world, when all of the sudden *BAM!*
To suddenly add a mechanic that is completely out of the players control and could destroy their creations - not fair and plain annoying.
To be forced to craft a comet deflector - again, not fair and annoying. If I wanted to continue with any of my worlds on a new update I would need to craft hundreds of these.
Making it rare or optional will not be a solution to these problems.

This - this would be the only way in my opinion to include comets and would make exploration more interesting - but would be vitally important to find a balance between making it rare so that I can't just explore 200 chunks in one direction to farm iridium but not so rare that a player never sees one, In an existing map it may require that you go far to find them, but you would also have to go far to say find a new biome that was added in an update.
Partial support - if a balanced and non-annoying and frustrating way can be found to implement it and in my opinion better and more original uses other than super-charged existing blocks could be found for the iridium.
Actually, Terraria is largely about building, too. To get NPCs, you must build homes for them. And you can't get too far without NPCs, because they sell some really useful crap.
Sorry about the spam I was really tired. Anyways there are many other meteorite mods and threads out there. :l The Iridium isn't that original, but still a slightly newer idea
This sounds AWESOME, but you should be able to make more advanced items, like meteor sields and anti mob forcefields, also super TNT! I also think it should spawn mobs in hard mode, like super creepers, but ONLY in hard mode!
Oh my... Forcefields? Please no... Also, More types of TNT are good in mods, but not in the normal game. I might agree with spawning a charged creeper with it though.

Also take a look at this guide if you are requesting builders for a server/project.
Please note, if I deny a suggestion because it is already possible, then I mean it is already possible withing 10 command blocks (That do not spawn other command blocks) or up to 5 creations (Command blocks that spawn other command blocks) to make your suggestion.
If I critique your suggestion I am not hating on you. Learn the difference.
It might help you to change the OP then monkeyman200, most people don't read revisions in the comments. Also, while you are at it, can you add a picture of a meteor, the ore, the new items, and make it less like a wall of text?

I actually like this idea, but the destruction factor would be a problem. Granted, I'm sure you'd probably intend for them be toggle-able on world options. Actually, now that I brought it up, what about falling meteors being an world option? (if you idea were to be added) If set to off, you could still find iridium in pre-generated meteor/ comet crashes, but they would be fairly rare.

"I don't plan to add a new dimension at the moment. It's just to performance heavy on servers, and the current dimensions need more attention before we start adding new ones." < Yeah, like biomes or actual varied terrain in the nether. Nether ruins didn't do the trick at all.

My GOD guys, how many times do I have to repeat it? The meteors would be generated into the landscape randomly! Not falling from the sky!
My point proved monkeyman200, add it to the OP.

If only I could aim.

My best suggestion:
Mobs actually being varied???

Capture bats and other mobs in a small cage!

The iridium I'm half and half on; I support it as long as weapons and armor cannot be made out of it.
