How to obtain:
Naturally-occurring Jungle tree logs will have a 1/25 chance to spawn with a visible 'ore' inside it. Chopping it down will provide 1-3 'Resin'.
Resin can be smelted to produce 'Rubber'.
Rubber can be crafted into numerous things, which will be listed next.
Rubber Block:
Rubber blocks are crafted with 9 Rubber.
They have a blast resistance of 12. Any sword can be used to break it.
Rubber blocks burn as quickly as cloth.
Rubber blocks have a bouncy quality. If you simply walk onto them from another block from the same height, nothing will happen. But go at least one block higher, and drop down onto the rubber - then you will bounce. You initially bounce as high as where you fell from, for example - if I jump onto rubber from 10 blocks high, I will bounce 10 blocks up. With each bounce, however, the number of blocks goes down.
This has the same effect on all mobs. Some exceptions include:
-Iron golems - how high they bounce is halved each time because they are heavy
-Endermen teleport away after the first bounce
-Ghasts, bats, blazes usually just fly away
-Rubber has no effect on the ender dragon or the wither
There are so many possibilities for this block.
Rubber Armor:
Rubber armor is crafted like any other armor, instead using rubber.
Rubber armor has many interesting qualities.
From a defense and durability standpoint, its not very good:
However, Rubber armor has other properties:
-1/8 chance that any damage done will not deplete the durability
-Arrows, fall damage, and cacti have double protection (maybe arrows will even bounce off)
-Fire, lava, fireballs and explosion have halved protection (the armor is very weak to fire. Said hazards also deplete the durability faster)
-Lightning does no damage (full set only)
-Rubber armor has 2x knockback (you are very bouncy!)
-After falling you will bounce up 1-2 blocks (full set only)
-1.5x water movement speed (think rubber boots, again full set only)
-Cannot be enchanted
As you can see, it has its upsides and downsides.
Other Ideas (Post some!):
-Rubber should work as a redstone insulator
-Rubber should be used to craft elastic cords? Think a lead, but stretchier.
If you like the idea, comment with your own suggestions or critiques!

You've obviously done a lot of thinking about this, but I'd rather see the addition of anything rubber-related be implemented into IC2. This doesn't really fit into the whole "vanilla" scheme, IMO.
I really like this idea and actually think that it would fit into vanilla rather well. I like the idea of rubber armor, but immunity to arrows is completely OP.
I like the idea, especially the rubber block, as I could place one whilst falling, and take little to no damage, I do think however that if you're falling from more than about twelve blocks, you should still take some fall damage, so as it is not overpowered. But great idea, support.

So, possibly to break through the rubber armor Mojang could make a new projectile weapon?

How about that could be a new subsitute to servers whose spawns make you fall down a hole into a puddle, cause in real life hitting water high levels you'd turn into a red pancake.
@Coneman50: Its not immune to arrows. It just has double the protection. Pretty much, the damage that an arrow does would be lessened, and some of the arrows would bounce off. That's just one of the benefits, but I think its weaknesses make it balanced.
