[MOD] Iridium! [iridium] <v1.1>
Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 19:08Hello everyone! I have made a new mod that makes mining a bit more ''useful''. This mod adds Iridium, a very rare metallic ore that spawns under -1024 Y in very small chunks, and almost never generates in large chunks (but it does generate large chunks, so mine around some ore if you find any...)
First of all, when you go mining below -1024 Y, it may take days before you find any Iridium. But it's there! So I recommend strip-mining large areas and hollowing out the world, thus you can be sure you have checked that entire chunk behind you.
When you find Iridium, it looks like this:
This ore deposit will drop one (1) lump of Iridium. This ore can be mined by most pickaxes, but can not be mined unless the pickaxe you have is capable of mining a block in group ''cracky=2''. This lump of iridium is then refined by means of smelting, to give you a shiny Iridium ingot!
This ingot can be used to make a whole set of tools in-game (pickaxe, axe, shovel, sword), and is just like the default recipes for tools (just use Iridium instead of wooden planks).
Items/blocks added by the mod:
All of the tools shown here have 8000 uses, making Iridium that much more valuable.
Difference between Steel block/ingot and Iridium block/ingot:
Steel on the left, Iridium on the right.

Additional info: I still need people to test sword damage, and give their feedback about how I should improve the mod.
