We all heard about the new ore being added to the Nether: Nether Quarts.
So far all we know is that it's can be mined in the Nether, and that its going to be used with redstone gadgets, such as hoppers. But this has made me think... Why dont we add any more ores to the nether/ Besides sould sand,glowstone, Nether rack, and the the occasional Nether fortress bricks Its bare.
Fiery Stone Idea
My idea is simple, add another ore to the Nether that can be used to make weapons and armour and more instead of redstone gadgets.
How rare?
It should be more rare than any other ore in the Nether right now. About as rare as, hmm, iron. It should be in groups of 3. So if you find one, you should be able to find two more.
What can it be mined with?
It should be able to be mined with an iron pick axe. Just like most ores.
What can it make?
It should be able to make armour,weapons, and tools the exact same way you have always made armour, weapons, and tool. No difference.
Durability
Pickaxe-300 uses (slightly more than an iron pickaxe.)
Sword-300 uses (slightly more than a iron sword.)
Armour (chailmail)-12 hearts (slightly less than iron armour.)
Damage/speed
Pickaxe-.4 secounds to brake stone (same as iron pickaxe)
Sword- 7 hearts (same as diamond sword)
New Crafting ideas: (dont take to harshly)
Gunpowder- 9 melted fiery stone ores can be crafted into 1 gunpowder.
Thats my idea so far. I'll be sure to add more to this if i get supporters.
Eh, by the time we have gotten to the Nether, we would have likely have found some diamond, which is extremely powerful. Also, most of this stuff is around the same as common Iron, so not very many would use it. A new Nether Ore wouldn't be bad, but this isn't the right way to do it.

Umm, heh heh... Nether quartz is already as rare as iron. It just seems more common because there's a lot more exposed netherrack in the Nether than stone in the Overworld.
Really, it doesn't seem much different from iron, certainly not different enough to need a new tier. And it needs a new name - "fiery stone" doesn't really roll off the tongue. Maybe firestone, tinderrock, sparkstone, or searstone.

I agree with Tjokm. New things are always good, but new tiers of tools and armour are a little pointless. Maybe, POSSIBLY, tiers that are better than diamond... or maybe things with actual effects, like longer reach or a chance for double drops. Maybe even a material that has silk touch built in? Or maybe, if this 'firestone' is to be implemented, it crafts a sword with built-in fire aspect and armour with built-in fire resistance? How about that?
No support. A new ore would be cool, but if it's sole purpose is to make tools and armor, then it'll just be a worthless ore. Even though it can be used to make gunpowder, it's not very useful, since ghast provide gunpowder.

Every brony wants to be a pony!.
I've never understood why chainmail armor is crafted with fire.
Anyways, this will make crafting chainmail right.

Because YOU dont want any?
Mojang has stated that already.
No, because it's utterly pointless and in general makes for a forgettable feature.
Thus, no support.
We don't want new tools/armor because, we already have enough. Adding another wouldn't really affect much people.
