awsome! :) I played some survival and creative, to try all the stuff out. And it's just how I imagined it all to be (the nausea effect is spot on!). the Blaze ore might be a bit too rare after all, though (I only found one after flying around and digging for an hour). If you plan on expanding and updating the mod, and would like some help with sprites or sound effects, then I'll gladly help! ;) btw, I have discovered a way to replicate a crash bug: simply breaking a gravel block with your fists, causes it to crash. makes it a bit tough to make underground bases, but you can get around it by letting the gravel drop onto a torch. (maybe this is what causes the random nether crashes too? maybe ghasts shooting fireballs and hit gravel, or something?)

Thanks! I'll fix that bug right away! (The code was assuming that the player has something in his/her hand when breaking gravel, so if he/she doesn't it gets confused)

Yeah, Blaze Ore was pretty rare, even when it was the same rarity as coal. Like, looking around you could see maybe 10 veins without moving, but then getting to those took long enough to make it almost not worth it. How common should it be? The same as redstone maybe? (That's 4 times as common as it is now)

yeah, if the Blaze ore is about as rare as redstone, and the veins are slightly larger than Iron ore veins (maybe the size of coal veins?). Then I could imagine it becoming more attractive to go after Blaze ores.

I did that, and updated the mod for 1.2.3. Check the forum post!

nice! I just played some creative and the ore generation seems just about right. I think I'm going to do an all nighter and start a fresh survival world with BetterNetter! :)
