I've had the Idea for a meteorite mod for a while. Before Terraria also, lol I don't steal Ideas.
Its fairly simple pretty much there is a very very small chance that a meteorite will spawn, something like 1% a minute. When a Meteorite does fall though it causes a very cinematic scene where you can see the meteorite falling and a big crashing sound for 10 seconds or so. I also think it would look cooler if the meteorite chose a spot in the sky to start from and then separately chose a spot on the ground where it lands, that way the animation wouldn't just be a meteorite falling straight down. The meteorite will only spawn up to 30 chunks away from the player so they can see where it landed and make an expedition. Where the Meteorite hits the ground an explosion 3 times the size of tnt will happen and then the area where it hit will populate with meteorite ore. The meteorite ore will need a diamond pickaxe or meteorite pickaxe to mine. Once smelted you can use the refined meteorite to craft all of the tools and armor. The tools will last 2343 uses (1.5x diamond) and have an speed similar to stone but be able to mine everything iron can. The Meteorite armor would give you higher jumping and a double jump. However I want the meteorites to be really rare, and I also want the meteorite falling animation to be a really big deal.
Make any changes you want though. I know nothing of java (sadly) so anything to make it easier or possible is a good thing :smile.gif:
PS:I can make textures and sounds :wink.gif: PM me if you actually make this.
It's 16, including base one, if we are talking about code. But there is not enough space in terrain.png for 15 slots in a row, so you cant reach maximum. I'll try to make loading additional textures from other file without overriding default, but don't have time to learn and code right now.
When I finish I will send you all of the individual textures so you can implement them right.
I have been wanting this in minecraft since I noticed that Terraria did it, and it looked amazing! I will make alternate textures for all blocks that need it I just need to know the limits of how many variations are possible for each block.
Yet another amazing mod. I've seen nothing from greatness from you on the minecraftforums.
I also ask you on behalf of the community if I, and other could create expansions to this mod such as the suggestions above. Whatever I make will be sent to you, Thanks!
Another idea similar to this one would be to create 3 or 4 separate textures that all tile together, then randomize the placement of each texture. If you combined the rotation with the randomization it would look 100% better. If you do the coding I will redo all the textures :wink.gif:
IMO it would be better if ores generated like vanilla but less often ( except for diamond and lapis) but then these massive veins would still be there but much rarer as well. That way finding an iron jackpot still makes you feel like you won the lottery. So to clarify I think that normally ores should generate like vanilla but less of the actual ore in each chunk. The veins that this mod adds would be rare to spawn in a chunk but would replace all of the other "vanilla" generated ores.

Okay...can you texture a fire sword and fire tome? Those are the first things on the coding list. I need to hand-pixel mobs for now, but once the textures work properly I can send them for rtexturing...
Go ahead and just call me thesiriusadam in the credits thing. Have you made a template for the sword and tome yet or should I? Lets continue this on e-mail.
