Most of you probably know what the aether is. This is agueris. A three-stage plant (like reeds or cactus) for the aether.
NOTE: Agueris is supposed to be hollow on the top and bottom. When I reskined the cactus, I couldn't figure out how to add opacity.
NOTE: Sorry about the -- something or other -- on the second block of the agueris to the left.
Okay. So, agueris must have the bottom section planted in water to grow and they must be planted on floatsand. Like I said, it grows naturally in the aether. When placed, it will automatically assume an upright position unless it is directly next to another agueris block or has a block directly on top of it. In either case, it turns into a horizontal pipe.
Pipe works like minecarts in the way that they are placed. You can even use redstone to change direction! Agueris can move up, but only three spaces at a time. Naturally, it carries water. If water is at the open end of an agueris pipe, the agueris replicates the water in any adjacent open pipes, making it flow infinitely in the pipe. If there is no open agueris face for the water to flow to, it makes the next block that would have been pipe a water source block that cannot be picked up (unless the block there is solid, in which case the water is stuck in the pipe). Only horizontal pipes can be switched with redstone.
Basically, it's a stone on which you can place water in the Nether. But the water would not be able to flow off of the stone making it impossible to have Aether portals in the Nether. Lousy picture comments aside, what do you think?
I like this idea. Especially the bouncing off part.

Also, many people use these icons on the right while they are making a post to view possible crafting recipes.
People who do that have absolutely no effort in making a decent crafting recipe. Just copy the 3x3 grid on paint and than copy Icons from the wiki. Not much work. Big difference.
Secondly, not everyone has paint. And besides, all it does is adds a background. Not much to it, and not much purpose unless you're using a specific style of crafting grid.
What it would be, is it would be the one block on which you can place water in the Nether (but the water couldn't flow off of the waterstone). I'm thinking it would be about as common as iron, and would best be mined with a pick. I'd like some feedback to see if I should suggest this to the Aether thread.
Yes, I know the title may sound like I want magic in Minecraft, which I kind of do, but not the hated magic like hurling fireballs and summoning lightning. No, I want magic that fits into Minecraft, these are where you craft things with magic properties.
I do not have any ideas on new versions of magical crafting, but if any one knows any good ones, I'll read it, and if I like it, I'll post it (kind of like an advertisement) here.
Perhaps you should add enchanting items too? Like, having a semi hard to get base material for enchanting on the bottom slot, and modifiers on the three other non-middle sections, with the item to be enchanted still in the middle. Perhaps it would be procedurally generated, depending on what you put in the slots, so while you could come up with some kind of silly combinations (Feather of Poisoning, anyone?), you could actually make usefull equipment (Sword of Frost is more like it!). I would suggest that the enchantments would make the weapon half durability, to make up for the fact that it may end up overpowered.
Also, have effects start out small, but stack up fairly nicely. As in, a poisoned sword with two poisons and one snow block would slow something down a lot less than just a sword enchanted with three snow blocks. I would say (for an example of how the effects stack) 3% slowdown with one block, then 8% with two, and 15%ish with three?
That would make it where you cant make a super-sword with one of each effect, but you could still have a decent sword with a 2-and-1 enchantment. Also, perhaps have poison not be able to kill them directly (with enchanted weapons), but need you to make the finishing blow in order to finish the monster. Also, I would work out poison and gas flow a bit differently, such as right clicking on the ground gives the appearance of poison splashed all over it, and if you step on it, have the effect. You are only making one bowl of poison (or gas, which should have the same effect), not 2 gallons.

Fat could be used for other baking recipes. Or as mob bait!

Hmm. I'll try to think of how to rephrase that.

Okay. Perhaps a bit rarer.
And it wouldn't allow aether portals in the nether if you have to place the water directly in the portal which isn't made of waterstone.

Het kwade, krankzinnige zijn.
Does anyone have anything constructive to say?

I'm not much of an artist. Anyway, the picture isn't the point of the thread. The actual block is.

(Yes, I just recoloured a snow block to look blueish).
This is an idea for the Aether.

There's an alchemy thread you should add.

I think this falls under "Transforming"
