we all know how hard it is to find diamonds. even kiershars diamond tactic only produces half a stack (or so) in a massive area. surely nothing could be harder to find? there is something rarer then diamond. it is the one true ore...
ATOMITE ORE.
the stuff is indestructible (yay!) and has incredible mining speed (obsidian in 5 seconds? thats insane!) but that insanity comes at a large price. there are only 35 blocks of atomite ore per map! you will have to mine for AGES to get the atomite shovel! normal sticks during creation of the tools just wont cut it either. you have to use OBSIDIAN RODS! oh well. it takes 35 blocks of anything useable for the sort of thing to make one of everything (i counted) and there are only 35 blocks of the stuff on the map. harsh isnt it? better prepare for this task! the tools also cannot burn in lava and dont despawn when dropped meaning when you lose the items you just have to find them again and you can find them whenever you feel like doing so. it cannot be obtained through TMI or INVedit. when used in the aether it does not suffer from the aether tools only effect. it cant be spawned in or has a ridiculous code in multiplayer (something like 1011001100101100 etc etc etc) so it has to be legit. it cant be sold by multiplayer shop plugins. atomite is indestructible. so how do you separate the atomite from the stone around it? you smelt it with a lava bucket. coal doesnt make a hot enough flame to take out the stone around it.
It would be completely impossible to keep it out of INVedit or TMI, or mods. That's the point of those programs.
As for the actual concept, to me it seems over powered. Yes I know it is very rare, but once you found 3 you would never need to make another pick again. Or 2 more and never need a sword again. Or 1 and never need to make another shovel. I think I big part of Minecraft is the continuous search for items, and with this, you would never need to dig again.

Minecraft makes me feel like I'm three. Playing with blocks and afraid of the dark.
The only reason I could see this balanced is if it had the speed of wooden tools.
There should be some super mega rare ore, but it should have some more aesthetic effect as opposed to basically winning the game if you find it. Examples include making some really cool and decorative block for all to admire, and to take pride in for finding. Minecraft has unwritten goals like that.
read the post carefully dropdragon. i already said that it had insane mining speed. diamond picks grab obby in 15 seconds while atomite picks grab it in 5.
It simply wouldn't work out. For one thing, the map is massively large and you probably would never even generate a chunk with Atomite Ore in it at all. It would be overpowered once you got it and largely unfair for anyone without it.
You cannot keep an item out of mods. It simply can't be done. The only reason you can't mess with Aether items is because they don't have functionality coded into them (from what I am guessing, at least), so you would have to work with raw data values.
Maybe make it a little more stronger then diamond, able to mine ONLY obsidian really fast, and make it about 1 ore per 5 chunks, and has the mining speed of stone to anything else (not sure about stuff that stone can't mine though).

If it was the entire map you would never see it. If it was the map item then it would be insanely overpowered.
Edit: Also, Someguy is right.
