Silicon is the most important metalloid know to man-kind for many reasons. First, silicon makes up sand, dirt, granite, and modern computers. Without it, sand, dirt, granite, and modern computers better get a new material to replace silicon, and fast.
How do I get Silicon?
You get silicon with a new devise called a purifier. Smelt sand in the purifier to get silicon lumps.
What is this purifier?-You have to read this because this is to complicated to make a tl;dr for.
The purifier is like a furnace, but bigger, badder, and better. It has 2 smelting slots and it can hold up to 128 stacks of anything. Sometimes you use 1 spot, other times you use 2. The purifier can purify ores in only 1 second. However, coal and charcoal last only 10 seconds, logs and wooden planks last only 1.5 seconds, and everything else that can be used as a fuel only lasts 0.25 seconds. Buckets of lava and blaze rods last 1/2 as long a they would in a furnace. When smelting something that isn't cooking or purifying (e.g. sand to silicon, clay to brick, and cobble to smoothstone) takes 2.5 seconds. Cooking food, however, takes 1,000 seconds (as long as 2 lava buckets would last here). The crafting recipe should be one of 5 combinations I can think of, I will list them below.
. Tell me which crafting recipe you like the most. Numbers 1-5 are given to the recipes in order from left to right.
What use does silicon have?
Blocks
Silicon can be used to make silicon blocks. They are crafted with 4 silicon lumps or 9 silicon dust. A silicon block can be crafted into 4 silicon lumps.
Silicon Dust-Redstone conductor.
Silicon dust is crafted with 4 silicon lumps in a square shape giving 9, or 1 silicon lump giving 2.
Silicon dust can be used to make fancy grey dust trails. But that probably is not what you would be interested in, you are probably interested in the redstone circuitry aspect. Silicon dust can carry a redstone current farther than you could ever need
Silicon dust would be stored in the game files as a tile entity. Therefore, pistons can't push this block or push a block into it. Also, silicon dust would use 16 bits. 10 bits would be used to store how far it went. 4 would store the direction. The 10 bits would let it go 1,024 blocks without stopping. The 4 bits would tell the direction. Bits 11--14 would be flags for whether or not the current goes in that direction. Also, silicon dust should stop water and lava, but not keep the block below from lighting on fire. Silicon dust would be able to have its direction be toggled by a right-click GUI. The menu would show a piece of silicon dust. On each of the 4 sides, there would be a button. Click on it with nothing in your hand to make silicon current go that way. If you put a block in there, it will only go that way if there is that block there. Redstone/silicon dust count as their respective types of wires. When you finish, click on the red X in the corner to save your changes.
Big Red Text
Silicon dust can make diodes, repeaters and inverters. Diodes are instant repeaters. A diode is made like this (replace the flint with silicon lumps, the iron ingot is replaceable with a gold nugget):
. A silicon inverter is crafted like this (replace the flint with silicon dust):
. A silicon repeater is made like a redstone repeater, only replace the redstone dust with silicon dust and the redstone torches replaced with silicon inverters.
TL;DR
Silicon is a metalloid that can do many things IRL, and in minecraft. Silicon lumps can be gotten by refining sand in a purifier. You can craft silicon lumps into dust or blocks. You can craft silicon blocks into lumps, and you can craft silicon dust into blocks. Silicon dust can carry a current for up to 65,536 blocks, which is more than you ever need. Silicon can make anything redstone can, plus instant repeaters. Silicon and redstone currents will not combine, saving your circuitry space and you time.
Please post whether or not you like this idea, what you would prefer changed, and if you would use it+why or why not.

WTH YOU STILL USE FULL RELEASE? OMG, USE TIME MACHINE!!!1!!!!11!1!!1!1!ONE1!!!!1!1!11

Yes, when you restore is to factory settings, the computer is COMPLETELY wiped.

There's a space... your point is?
The space there is because in the actual program, entity names can't contain a space in the. They need to be one word so Java can recognize it. The official name of the Ender Dragon according to Java in enderdragon, while its real name is Ender Dragon.
Its one fricking space, no one gives a damn, now calm down and accept that spaces don't mean **** in the real world...

ABOUT
The Mining+ Mod is a mod that adds tons of new ores, and gems to the underground world, as well as tons of new items, tools, armors, blocks, and more! The project was started about 3 weeks ago, and was worked on for the last 6 days straight. It is almost done, and I'll keep you guys updated here.
Blocks, Ores, Tools, And More!
Copper - A common block found in massive veins underground can be smelted into Copper Ingots, and infused with Tin Ingots to make Bronze Ingots.

Tin - A common block found in massive veins underground can be smelted into Tin Ingots, and infused with Copper Ingots to make Bronze Ingots.

Bronze - Bronze is a material slightly weaker then iron. It can be crafted into decent armor, and tools.
100% Images 90% Programmed
Steel - Crafted by combining 4 coal with one iron to purify this mineral into Steel. Slightly stronger then iron, but it comes at a cost.

Cubic Zerconia - Crafted by smelting coal into Refined Carbon Ingots, and once again into Pure Carbon Ingots. When all 9 spaces on the crafting grid is filled with Pure Carbon Ingots, you get 1 Cubic Zerconia. This fake gem is used as a substitute for Diamonds, with the same strength and durability.

Elemental - This rare block has a chance of dropping any ore found in the game! Better hope you get lucky, and don't wind up with getting just coal or iron!

Mystic Stone - Magic Stones are as rare as Diamonds, but only found in the End! This item can be used for extremely strong tools.

Dragon Stone - Dragon Stones are as rare as Diamonds, but only found in the Nether! This item can be used for extremely strong armor.

EXP Ores - A common rock found randomly throughout the entire game, it is disguised as stone, and looks exactly like it, only it drops EXP Orbs instead!

Artifacts - Artifacts are left over from ancient civilizations. Found as rarely as diamonds, the drop ancient bone tools that are very cool and strong.

SUPPORT
Got any ideas for the mod? I'd love to hear them! Please post all suggestion, or concerns below to help me!
Thanks for the support!
EXTRA INFO
This mod has a total of 17 Java class files all programmed in the last 6 days. The idea for this mod, as well as most of the images was made about 3 weeks ago.
The mod so far uses up Block IDs 123-127, and Item IDs 15300-15329, and requires modloader.
COPYRIGHT
This mod was made by me (Smealeaf). All pictures and code is made by me, and may not be redistributed for any reason, or in any way by any one at all. In other words, don't give anything form here out to anyone.
DOWNLOAD
V.5 Download Link - This version contains Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Copper, and Tin. Copper and tin can both be smelted into their corresponding ingots. Just place 1 of each ingot on the crafting grid next to each other, to make 1 bronze ingot. With that you can make all armor (not equitable at the moment), and all tools. You can also use the gem shards to make all tools. Theses tools are brittle, yet really fast, similar to gold.
Copper and tin are found from Y:127 on down, and the gems are found Y:44 on down.
Also, if you do download this mod, please give some feedback, and advice about it. I would love to hear form everyone!
