    I think it could be as rare as emeralds with same vein size and should only be found on the larger end islands.

    changing this radium with a "purple" ore can become better! keep the end purple, white and black! (also, radium is very normal for an unnormal world. maybe you can change this ores name to, something like;"endite".)

    the ender index would be at the same time op because of all the thing it can do and not that op because it's just a quicker way to organise/craft things

    the ender index reminds me of the applied energistics mod but streamlined but i like that and love that mod just thought it was a little complicated though this takes care of that in my opinion though

    This is a great idea for the game to improve and grow! I agree with @RetroXZ though. There are many ways to improve this idea. Trial and error is key!

    I love the idea (except for the part where it poisons all non-iron golem mobs around it), as i believe more needs to be added to the end, and an ore that gives such end-game items such as these is perfect! An advanced storage system would improve literally everything too, as it would make finding things for the less organized much easier. It also affects hoppers and blocks too, making it useful in redstone builds. (We've had to get resources from the nether for slightly more complex comparators, but something with this much of an impact would definitely need to be either A: expensive, or B: hard to get.

    I like the idea!
    My thought is that if you could make tools and armour like the crafting recipes for the original tools and armour, this new set of tools and armour could have some new effect, but to balance them out, they could have weak durability

    The new effect would stun the opponent you face, by hitting them with the tool, or simply being attacked wearing the armour.

    Radium is incredibly toxic, add this feature and I think the tunning fork is not applicable.

    yeah this is cool and all but the 3x3 poison radius will be very bad game play wise.

    Radioactivity and radioactive ore will be a cool idea. Maybe the Radium could be used as a fuel in the furnace.

    Add more information for non java/bedrock windows 10 players but other ways it was really good idea

    The concept in general is absolutely stunning, so we'll thought out and Mojang should really make this happen. Only thing though, poison 2 in a 3x3 affecting all non-iron golem mobs? I think it should only apply to aggressive mobs and not non-hostile or neutral mobs. Other than that, great concept man!

    I don't know about green, or the things that can be crafted with it, but this would make a good end feature.

    Question: do you need the full set for glowing effect and poison?

    Amazing. I loved the index and want it now. Some other things. I didnt really get the proxy. I think when mining Radium (Fantastic name btw) it will poison and damage you. And you cant mine it without a Netherite pickaxe(The new ore in the Nether Update) It would also require a new furnace to smelt. Something like that. I love it. Thank you

    This is really cool, but it sounds more like a mod than a generic Minecraft world generation.

    I think that the block of Metallic Radium should have a gray color (to be more realistic) but glow green. Fluctuating in brightness, pulsating as you said it.

    This is a very nice description of what an end mineral could be. I love how it isn't used for armor or weapons, but as a quality of life upgrade as well as a tool that would no doubt be used in redstone machines. I hope Mojang Studios puts some time into actually considering your idea.

    This could be the ends version of nether quartz

    I think 2 radium ingots should be able to be mixed with 3 iron ingots to make 1 single stabilized radium ingot, so you can be able to make it into weapons that give poison 2 and other special effects, but does as much damage as stone, but is as flimsy as gold, and if you make it into armor it will too be as flimsy as gold, and give the player nausea and a effect called "mutation" which deals you 2 damage every five minutes five times till you grow incredibly slow but have night vision, strength and resistance, but when you take it off and put it back on again it will repeat the same process... (basically making it into armor isn't really a good idea)

    How would this work with lodestones, beds, and respawn anchors? I think it would make sense if you can use the proxy to set the respawn but the actual respawn was the "simulated" block. Similarly you can use a compass on a proxy lodestone and it would target the original.

    Radium armor and tools could be netherite-tier (because the end is end-game)

    Radium should require diamond pickaxe to mine, like ancient debris.

    I know I might be a few years too late, but I just really wanted to say that I love this idea! I like how it cannot be used for tools and armour like every other new ore idea. It is unique and interesting. 
    However, I would also consider somehow applying redstone into it further, and making it an endgame branch of items to mess around with. I would also love for some form of "Corruptor" to be added, which uses the proxy to be made, but also redstone and glass. The Corruptor would dispense a togglable "fake" block which would act as the block placed into it, but you cannot infact break it or place on it; but you can walk through it. Can be turned on and off via resstone signal.

    Can Hoppers or Proxy/hoppers interact with the Index? If so, Those huge systems to automate storage would be gone...Such a quality of life ore! But I still have some suggestions:

    - Only breakable with a diamond pickaxe, making it Obsidian mining level.

    - In this "making things easy" proposal for this ore, I suggest that a special furnace, made with Obsidian, Cobblestone and Radium block is added.

    The recipe for it is the following: (0) is empty space (1) is End Bricks, (2) is Obsidian and (3) is Radium Block

    (2)   (2)   (2)

    (1)   (0)   (1)

    (2)   (3)   (2)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It's name would be Radioactive Furnace. It would be a furnace with three stacks of materials to smelt. It smelts the first stack, than the second, and finally the third one. It also would have three outputs. Another advantage is that, because it uses the constant energy blasts from the Radium block, it doesn't require any fuel, only a coffee, because to balance it, I suggest it would smelt items 5% - 10% slower. Also, the flame animation would be green. Just beautiful!
