New ores have not been implemented into the game in ages. I suggest an ore in the nether or end dimension. Probably a little more common than diamonds, but still a stronger durability with a gold tool speed. If not, add an ore as rare as iron, maybe a little less that can only spawn above the height of 64. Strong as diamond requires a gold tool and mines about the same speed as gold.
ever heard of the ores++ mod? they should take all the ores from that and implement them in minecraft.
it adds copper, i think bronze, cobalt, ruby, and much more. there are also nether ores in that mod as well.
i think it adds 2 to the nether but i forgot the names :tongue.gif:
There is a huge Durability/Efficiency Gap between Iron and Diamond Equipment. It would be wise for Mojang to install 2 additional ores that would shorten the gap respectfully to one another and give them proper advantages and disadvantages to other blocks and mechanisms. I also think a few additional Enchantments are in order in future releases.
Just have to be careful we do not rip off Terraria when making new ores.
I just hope Jeb and them can keep making the game more compatible for mods and finally add the Modding API, so I can have my ore mods and not have to worry about my world being messed up if they don't update. I'm thinking about using Forge, so that combination of that and the extended block IDs helps that, but I'd still have to worry about if the mods update or not. My one major issue with Forge is that's another pre-requesite mod and it conflicts with Optifine or one of my other mods.
Anyhow, I'd love to see something else added, especially in the Nether. Even if the Nether now has somewhat of a purpose, what with the potion-making stuff and such, but give me a reason to not just poke my head through the portal and visit my Nether house to harvest netherwart and kill blazes in my blaze room (thanks to two or three Blaze Spawners I harvested thanks to the SpawnerGUI mod). There needs to be something a notch or two below or even above diamond in the nether. After all, it takes either diamond (vanilla/ entirely pur legit) or Mo Creatures Ogres to get all that obsidian needed for a Nether portal. Anyhow, as many others before me, I'd like to see one or two new ores (possibly something rarer and better than coal, but weaker than lava) in the overworld and at least two (maybe three) ores in the Nether. As for the End, I consider it as just a boss stage, instead of another potential place to stay, like the Nether could be, should be.

"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.

I'd really like to see something like this implemented. The only thing I would change is the 64 block height minimum. I'd increase that to around 80 or 90 so that it would give more incentive for players to explore the tops of large mountains.
As for your idea of adding ore to the Nether, I think a lot of people including myself are looking forward to that.
