Steve stepped out of his house one morning, only to notice a strange rock, the likes of which he had never seen before. Upon approaching the mysterious rock formation, he noticed a note attached the front of the stone. The note read:
Are you tired of your boring mining experience? Is it not packed full of materials to mine, or do you just want more? Well, we have a deal for you! We have included a FREE sample of our many new mineral additions! to add this mineral and more, click the BUY button now! For just a low purchase price of 19.99! (Plus 1,899.99 S+H.)
Steve thought about this business deal, and decided that this would be a good investment. Before he knew it, he was surrounded by strange helicopters carrying large containers of ores and metals. Three days later, Steve was mining 15+ new materials!
yea, the story may sound a bit cheesy, but it was written late at night! Anyways, straight to the point! OVERVIEW+ DOWNLOAD (soon)
Minerals+ adds a variety of new minerals, some of which exist on Earth, and some which are completely new! Minerals+ will add 15+ minerals to the game, all of which have a purpose, or can be crafted, smelted, etc! Minerals+ also adds new minerals to the Nether! That's right, all-in-all a better experience EVERYWHERE!
THIS IS STILL IN THE TESTING PHASE, AND IS ONLY PARTLY FINISHED. DO NOT CRITICIZE THIS MOD BASED ON WHAT YOU ONLY SEE NOW.
Note: All of these have subclasses, these are just the base ores.
:Green:= Finished

Quartz
Limestone
Steel
Tyranite
Golden Sand
Explodium
Mud
Acidium
8/15 Complete.
(Haven't Started the Rest yet, will be updated)
The Minerals
1. Quartz - Can be made into decorative blocks, drops crystals, most common mineral
2. Limestone - Can be made into Limestone Bricks, a little less rare than diamonds, but can be found anywhere.
3. Steel - Made by smelting iron ingot, Can be made into armor and tools a bit better than iron.
4. Tyranite - Can be smelted into Tyranite Ingot, then made into a decorative block, or tools/armor, better than diamond, strongest material yet! (Besides Obsidian), can only be found deep in the earth, and is twice as rare as diamonds.
5. Golden Sand - Can be smelted into Golden glass, both which have a light value of 1.0 (Max) and Golden Sand spawns in the normal world! Somewhat rare, can be found anywhere, however.
6. Explodium - Found only deep in the earth, drops explodium dust, which if put together in a 2x2 square in the crafting grid, can be made into gunpowder! Explodium Ore generates in maximum veins of 3, and are pretty rare.
7. Mud - The regular earthly version of soulsand, it can be found anywhere, and is rather common. It slows you down and sinks you a bit, and is a bit harder to mine that dirt.
8. Acidium - Acidium, a semi-rare material, can be found moderately deep in the ground. Acidium is acid based. When mined, you will recieve Acidium Ore, which can be smelted into Acid. Acid can then be taken as a drug that causes you to hallucinate (Just Kiddding!) Acid can be applied to any weapon, increasing damage by 50%,
but also decreases durability by 50%. (That makes it more fair.) The reason being is, since Acidium is acid based, it slowly corrodes your weapon, weakening it, causing every swing to inflict twice the normal damage to the blade, since it's material has weakened. Acidium also slightly glows.
This mod has not yet been released. Expect it to be released in 1-3 weeks. I plan on making at least 15 new minerals before my first release, and add a few more every update. Post Ideas below, on what to add. Please do not criticize my work, I know many new mods have been made adding new ores, but I plan on adding MANY, each made by hand. This post is just a placeholder for now, I will post pictures when its finished, and make the post more solid :smile.gif: anyways, if you like my WIP, just let me know. Its always appreciated. :biggrin.gif:
IDEAS!
Here are some of my ideas for new blocks that I might add:
Blocks in the regular world that gives off light - DONE
A block that can be used to make gunpowder - DONE
A material in the game that might be good for killing, but bad for other things such as mining.
Bad strength, invincible durability tool set.
New fuels, probably 2, one common, one lasting longer than a lava bucket :smile.gif: (Not Uranium, I don't like copying ideas, even if this may be similar to some, I try to be original.)
(OPEN TO IDEAS)
I Will Release a 0.1 release version after I finish Acidium, probably. (70% chance of tomorrow!)
RELEASED.
Good luck. Make sure to check out Modloader and Toolutils.
Don't worry, already using ModLoader. I want it to be 100% custom, so that means custom tools, custom items, custom ores, etc. I already finished 4 new minerals in a few days, hopefully get to 15 soon!
