ok, so basically. I'm not talking about magical crystals that power-up your sword or anything, well, yes I do mention it a couple of times but I'm really talking about crystal caves a bit like this http://www.thatcryst...ages/Naica1.jpg
I mean, I would love to see myself be in one of those. now apart from the bling, I would like these made from crystal blocks.
now I would like this list of details that crystals would have
colours of crystal blocks. all same elements but different colours (as many colours as there are dyes).
also they filter light. (if there is a light source in front of crystal, the light will glow its colour)in that direction.
any light that comes will transmitted almost perfectly from one block to the next. (if a lvl 15 light touches it and it touches other crystal blocks, the light will decay at a much slower pace
not transparent or barely (I'm still all in for coloured glass and gives both a use)
caves are like between 1st & second picts. it replaces parts of terrain with crystals and adds the criss-crossing pillars of crystals. only forms near or in open spaces (caves/ ravines occasionally dungeons).
has the same breaking point as stone.
not exactly common (1/50 caves have at least 20 crystal pilars crystals)
VERRY rarely a huge cave forms. at least 20 blocks high & 30 blocks long.
natural crystal lights. inside, the caves, there are naturally occurring light sources. these would be like coloured crystal blocks but there would be coloured light coming from them. when destroyed, drops crystal powder.
normal crystals drop 10-20 crystal powder, light crystals drop 15-25 . crafting
= 1block crystal statue (colour of crystal used) (increases efficacy of enchanting and/or magical abilities)
= enhanced item, (increases amount of enchantments possible, has 3 levels, each colours the "blade" a bit more with colour of crystal. doesn't work on wood)
=
= 4 block crystal statue (same as above but a wider range and mobs won't attack inside of 2 blocks of it's base. creepers still go off & skeletons still attack)
sry about images for some reason they would com up
umm, no, Its uses aren't that many but I guess you're right. I halfed the spawn rate
Granted that diamonds spawn rate is a little to small. I should have reworded that :P. But yeh, they should not be so common that you find them everywhere in your pictures. Like bats, bats spawn everywhere lol.

I want these to be like the extreme hill in the overground so I didn't want to make them not common enough though what spawn-rate would you suggest?
Although this was a year ago, so I can't tell you if it's completely confirmed. What I can say is that I think you, personally, overcomplicated it with the recipes. It would have been fine simply as a structure and decoration block(s).

for the wiki page, I understand the new lighting system, thats why I want to take advantage of it.
as for the other page, well, I wanted it to be more complex then that

well, to appear less realistic

This idea was marked as "Planned" already.

no more dimensions. its either in a way like this or not at all. don't mean to be stubborn, just realistic in matters of coding
If anyone wants to port/remake this, feel free to do that! Or don't. It's up to you, really.
