Etherite Ore :goldore:<---(gold icon for convienence)
it would be greenish in color and when mined would react similar to Redstone, the difference is that Etherite is not useable as a power source in raw form and must be crafted into Etherite Tubes first as it is unstable in raw form
Etherite Tube Recipie =Mined Etherite [] []
The tubes can then be used to craft a generator =Etherite Tube
The tubes can also be crafted into a form of Mob Repelling Conduit =Redstone
The Conduits would need to be connected to a generator by redstone or Etherite Pipelines made similar to the tubes but with iron, the pipelines can carry a current twice as far as redstone before needing a conduit or repeater to keep going which could extend how far we can go with circutry [] []
This ore would provide a greater defense for walls and houses, the repelling affect would go as far as the light from the Conduit(same distance as a jack-o-lanturn) and Etherite Pipes can be used to carry a current along a wall as well as on the ground and ceiling
For a conduit to work it must be connected by Etherite Pipes to the generator which could be powered by redstone being put into them(raw redstone gives half a day/night of protection, torches give full day/night, and refined Redstone would give 2 days) if believed to be too powerful.
Refined Redstone would be redstone that was smelted
The core of this idea and the name comes from Steampunk Etherite
I may try to make some mockup designs for the items that could better show what I meant with this

Umm...
This is the only reference to Eatherite I can find.
Again, it is impossible for a block to have more than 16 states... so you can't have energy that stops at 30 distance... unless the coder is good enough.

16 states? there is a mod that makes Redstone able to go infinitely, and for the decay of power the Eatherite Pipes could be a short one that goes for the last 4 blocks of the pipes allowing for redstone current, Eatherite current, and off.
In Steampunk Eatherite is usually just called Eather so my memory was a bit off for that, but still it works on the same basic principal

Infinitely only needs two states (On, Off), and how would the pipes know where is the last 4 blocks?
EDIT: All references to Eather I can find are to mothers eating her babies. I am now confused.

try searching for "Steampunk Eather" without the quotes. and for the thing with the last four blocks how does redstone know how far it's going? I'm serrious with that I don't know much about the code of redstone.
Eatherite would be a good thing to implement and i have found where the idea originated a steampunk flash game called Remnants of Skystone although they call it Eatherillium(I think Eatherite sounds better though)

NO!!!
Uh huh, and your reason for that is what exactly? without a good reason you are just trolling and this is not the topic for trolling, it is for collecting constructive criticism and getting the idea better to a state where it could be added to the game.

I just see people misspelling Either.
Each distance (I think it is power, actually, lets go with power)
Redstone Torches give surrounding Redstone Power 15.
Redstone finds the maximum of the surrounding redstone, then subtracts 1.
When it is 0, it is off.
Again, how can it decide on 30 m length? You cannot have more than 16 states.
EDIT: There is a way to do that, actually. You could have "eather" take up two block IDs. So it has Power 14, decreases until 0, then goes to the other ID, until 0 which is off. But this way isn't "elegant".

well even with the distance it carries power the same as redstone it would take 2 id's, one for redstone current and one for Ether current
Edit: I found a good reference for Ether in steampunk and it seems i may have been mispelling the power source, I will do more research into it to make sure.
Edit 2: as it turns out I was misspelling the term, it is actually Ether not Eather I had spelled it Eather because of misreading the word in Remnants of Skystone for a long time, sorry for the confusion this must have caused

In that case, you need 31*16 states... 31 ids... That might work. But I think that no one will want to waste 31 id's on a redstone clone.

it's not a redstone clone, it has different uses from redstone, and if the thing with it being able to carry a redstone charge(which i think it is at this point) is too much then it will just carry the Ether current, which will repel mobs when it passes through a conduit/Large Ethertube. This suggestion is for adding a steampunk element to the game, and the regular tubes could be placed along the Ether pipes to create small light sources with the ammount of light that normal torches produce but with the same mob repelling effect. The redstone would still be used in crafting recipes for Ether items as a stablizing agent, this gives much more practical use for redstone and provides a form of light that must be powered by a generator if this doesn't become a full part of the game I hope to at least make it a mod with some help.

so... now i have to dig for a lightsource... and then dig deeper to stabilize it, and then dig around for a coating and then dig up some sand, OR just get coal, wood or something to make light and make some walls for a secure area and doors for passage. The latter please

boring much -.-
I want a STEAMPUNK item that REPELS mobs, not just some lights that stop them from spawning, Ether is not just some boring old light source, it is a mob repeller, meaning mobs can not enter the area light by a Ether Conduit/Large Ether Tube.
Also Ether would be at about the same depth as Redstone and Lapis Lazuli and require iron to mine, so presumably the player would already have the iron or glass, and also the reason for the difficulty of getting it running is because it is so much more powerful than normal lighting seeing as it doesn't allow aggresive mobs to get close. Most likely I'll get better luck over at the Steam-craft minecraft forums
