TFC's End: Greek Underworld

[ECC 508]

Copied from an existing thread. Excuse inconsistencies. I've edited what I can. I am using a few sources to slowly make this.

The Underworld. Commonly mistaken name is 'Hades.' Hades is the lord of the undead, not the place he rules, though is sometimes correctly referred to as 'realm of Hades'. It is a place of the dead, all dead in fact. Not just bad, but the good and neutral too.

What is found in the Underworld:

three prominent biomes are here.

Asphodel Meadows: a place of neither, in its purest form. Where souls lay that chose to never be judged

-Biome Rarity: 86%

-Prominent mob: Soul(Passive-Aggressive) (very common)

-Other Mobs: Ghast(rare), Zombie (rare), Zombie Pigman (uncommon) Endermen(very-rare)

-Dominant Stone: Red Quartzite

-Extra Ore: None

-Other Ores found: Iron, Surface world Quartzite ores

-Temperature: Moderate

-Moisture:

-Other features: Occasional Pale Oak tree.

Tartarus: True hell, where the truly evil never rest

-Biome rarity: 7%

-Prominent mob: Damned(Aggressive) (Very common)

-Other Mobs: Ghast(uncommon), Zombie (common), Zombie Pigman (rare) Endermen(rare)

-Dominant Stone: Red Basalt(Igneous Extrusive)

-Extra Ore: Reaperstone

-Other Ores found: Iron, Surface world Basalt ores

-Temperature: Very hot

-Moisture: 0%

-Other features: rarely(5%), a fruit tree with water at its base will spawn.

Elysium: Where the valiant go, those who did great deeds. An ocean isle, full of wonder.

-Biome Rarity:7%

-Prominent mob: Soul(passive-aggressive)(common), pigman(NOT ZOMBIE)(passive-aggressive) (common)

-Other Mobs:Ghastling:(passive-aggressive) (uncommon)

-Dominant Stone: Pink Marble

-Extra Ore: Crystalite

-Other Ores found: Gold, Surface world Marble ores

-Temperature: Cool

-Moisture: Moderate

-Other features: Dirt, grass, water, and fruit trees spawn here, no lava. Fruit trees produce fruit 3 times as fast Grass gives off a light level of 12.

I will not pick the method for entering the Underworld as i want to leave that as open as possible(vanilla got one thing right XD)

blaze spawners are found in dungeons in the Underworld. Dungeons are made from stone bricks of the type of stone the biome has.

Underworld trees will not burn. Lava source blocks will not turn into obsidian in the Underworld when in contact with water. Basalt stone/cobble forms when lava touches water.

Stones in the Underworld take three times as long to remove. Stones may be crafted into all items surface world stones may be crafted into. Nether stones have a very low(0.01%) chance of cave ins.

Crystalite before mining appears as a blue pulsating(light level 8) gem embedded in marble. It is stronger then steel. It may only be mined with a steel pickaxe. In order to craft tools from this ore, you need to have a red steel anvil or better. an anvil made from this ore has a separate GUI interface that allows tier 1 enchanting for NEW ITEMS ONLY. Blocks made from this ore are the only blocks to ignore gravity. Blue Lamps(ascetic torches) can be made with this ore and produce a light level of 15.

Reaperstone before mining appears as a red-orange pulsating(light level 6) ore embedded in red basalt. It is stronger then Crystalite. It may only be mined with a Crystalite Pickaxe. In order to craft tools from this ore, you need to have a red steel anvil or better. An anvil made from this ore has a separate GUI interface that allows tier 2 enchanting for NEW OR OLD items. Red Lamps(ascetic torches) can be made with this ore and produce a light level of 15.

When crafted together, Crystalite and Reaperstone make Adamantuim, a dull green metal. It is the strongest metal and can only be forged at the highest temperatures. In order to craft tools from this ore, you need to have a Adamantium anvil or better and the anvil must have a lava block within 2 meters(may be placed under a floor and hidden for ascetics) An anvil made from this material has a separate GUI for enchanting and allows the final tier(3) of enchanting for NEW OR OLD items.

Lamps may be attached to ceilings. they produce white light(light level 14) no matter the colour lamp they appear to be. they stack up to 16. they are crafted with Iron, cinnabar(this is redstone equivalent, right?), and wood. after initial crafting, they may be combined with a Underworld ore to increase light level to 15.

May edit this later, nothing is finallized. only reposted for organizational perposes and do not expect any of this to be implemented in any way.

I defininately like the idea of drawing inspiration of the Greek Underworld. If we plan to change/add realms, I vote for this. Maybe a bit more variety in biomes though. In Greek Mythology there were several more levels in both directions for souls.

[dunkleosteus 2,425]

TFC's end is definitely closer to this than all other suggestions, (thanks for listening =P) but will also contain a spark of vanilla and Bioxx and I.

I labeled the Prominent biomes only as I wish to leave it as open ended as possible for two reasons. One, This is not my game to dev, Two, its minecraft... the literal most open ended game in the world(other then then D&D)

"TFC's end is definitely closer to this than all other suggestions, (thanks for listening =P) but will also contain a spark of vanilla and Bioxx and I."

See above ;P

I am willing to put much more research time into this, as I hate not fulfilling an idea, and this is one of the few i've had that researching would be quite fun for me(its a subject I enjoy)

on another note, anyone catch the fruit tree in water reference?

[EternalUndeath 1,208]

Yes, Demeter and pomegranates I assume?

[bsb23 303]

Negative, not even close also its Persephone and the pomegranate Demeter is Persephone's mother however the reference was to King Tantalus, a man sent to Tartarus for dismembering, boiling and then eating his own son along with other crimes. He was placed on an island in the middle of one of the Underworld's rivers (the Styx if I remember right) and on this island was a single fruit tree whenever he reached for fruit it would bend away from him and whenever he tried to drink from the river all the water would flee from his hand. Not a good life.
