The Skylands needs that extrodinary amount of uniqueness that the Nether has strongly seperated itself from the Overworld (Normal Minecraft).
Aldium will be a very strong pick, about equal to that of a diamond pick(1562 uses) and carry an ability. Such as enabling better mining/attacking. Adding a multi-drop for iron ores with an Aldium Pick. Or perhaps stun an enemy with an Aldium Sword (useful against creeper, or lots of mobs).
Multi-drop for iron ores with that pick? Follow these steps for more iron than you could ever need:
1. Mine iron ore with aldium pickaxe.
2. Re-place one of the iron ores you obtain.
3. Repeat.
Other than that, this just seems like a diamond pickaxe with enchantments.
And stunning an enemy just because you're using a certain tool type of too overpowered.
I would rather have it serve a new purpose other than a new item tier.
For instance, making "shadows" by lowering the light level in a specific radius.
An anti-coal, if you will.
if youre going to have it be the same durability as diamond with abilities, make it rarer than diamond. Or weaker than diamond. you cant have an ore from another dimension that makes the most powerful overworld ore obsolete.
Ah I understand. My first post too btw. So basically you guys want it not as strong as diamond, and the stunning could possibly be a 'chance' to stun or none at all.
What you might rather want it to be:
The Aldium found in the skylands would be like iron strength but a very light metal. A Light enough metal to enable some types of machinery/gadgets useful in the skyland for getting to one island to another. Seeing how Notch may add ziplines, this could be an oppurtunity for the Aldium.
Think of great idea, so keep posting wether you would want it or not

Natural Aldium Ore Looks like such . . .
Yup yup.
As for the idea, I don't like the idea of new ores. Usually they're just new tiers that are iron + durability. Or in this case, iron + enchantments.

Yeah - I'm aware of the Sky Dimension's existance - I was just confused that he suggested something for a feature that has not been implemented yet.
