Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Deep Dark ore

Recently Mojang announced the new deep dark biome that would be integrated into new Caves and Cliffs update. I propose a new ore type, personally I don't really care about the name as it is less important than the concept (but perhaps it could be skulkium or something). This ore would be found rarely in the cave walls of the deep dark. The ore would take longer to be mined than obsidian (or equal), the reason behind this is because the ore will intermittently emit a loud sound when being mined(like a crystal braking). The ore will do this at least 5 times, this will make mining this ore extremely scary, as a warden could hear the ore and rush after you at any moment. This would make mining in the deep dark a high risk high reward scenario with a lot of strategy involved. As for the reward, perhaps you could create a tool/armor set stronger than netherite. I know what your thinking, "it's too much too soon, diamonds just got replaced!". My idea is that in terms of strength it wouldn't be any stronger but the new tools/armor could be enchanted with "Eternal" which means if you die with the tools/armor in your inventory or they run out of durability you would not loose them but rather the enchantment. Any way I am open to suggestions the most important part of my request is the mining mechanic, as it sounds terrifying to me.

    I truly love the idea of an ore that lures the warden to your location and really sets the uneasiness and urgency the resource gives off. but personally I think it should of a different use, maybe it could a variant to netherite instead of a direct upgrade, sort of like a class system. ex. netherite is more of a strength, damage and up close based class but "skulkium" (as you put it, great name btw) could be more a ranged/assassin esc class. maybe it could give a damage boost to bows/crossbows and for melee weapons you could get double damage for attacking an enemy from behind or something.

    This is a very interesting idea, I love to idea of having a greater risk to mining. But, I have two small problems with this I idea. (DISCLAIMER: This should be a mod but if you have any other ideas for different features, this is to help create a more "Minecrafty" and balanced feature). The ore would have to be spawned exposed to air in the Deep Dark biome. Reason why, if you were mining for the said ore using a technique like strip mining. The risk factor the ore is mean't to present is defeated, as the Warden wouldn't be able to attack you in the small passage way (As of the known features of The Warden during the making of this comment). Second of all, the idea of the Eternal enchantment is amazing, the idea is balanced, as the enchantment would keep your armor (Or Weapons and Tools) from loosing durability for a period of time. But instead of it being something that could be enchanted from an enchantment table it should be found only in Deep Dark Cities, it would match the property of something to try and be everlasting, as how the Cities and Warden seem to have been around for quite some time. That is all I have to say

    It would also be great if the new ore was used like netherite. Instead of crafting directly with it, there could be steps to it. Then you could combine it with diamond armer and tools. It would give the tools and armer different properties from netherite. At the same time it would be on the same level as netherite. This would make it so that netherite does not become pointless after the new ore comes out. I see it as being an option, “should I wear my netherite, or my deep dark armor?”

    it should be equal to netherite with a different buff set, someone suggested ranged stuff, maybe it could provide a slight speed buff for range or allow you to be more sneaky and invisible to mobs, or just as simple as increasing bow damage but that seems different than the knock back resistance as it changes strength rather than your weight

    I already love the deep dark but this would make it cooler and what color is the ore?

    Esse minério poderia ser um upgrade para netherite na bancada de ferraria, assim como o diamante vira netherite!
