New Nether ore: Pirite and Piratite

Pirate is a new ore found in the Nether, which is useful for combat, but also brewing and fireproofing.

Nether Pirite ore

Found only in Basalt Deltas at any height. When broken, drops 1 Pirite (influenced by fortune)

Piratite 

Combining 4 Pirite and 4 Blaze Powder, we obtain 1 Piratite

Piratite gear

We can upgrade Golden gear to Piratite gear. Damage, defense and durability will match Iron, but enchanting and speed will remain as Gold. Also, every armor piece gives +1 Incendiary: this means that every piece of armor has a 5% chance of setting on fire every mob/player that hits a player wearing Piratite armor. This chance increases by 5% for each Thorns level.

Combustion Potions

Adding Piratite to a Thick potion will create a Combustion potion, which give the Combustion effect. This effect increases every fire and lava damage by 50% per level.

Fireproofing

We can use Piratite to fireproof our builds. We can right-click with Piratite in hand on any wooden block, and these blocks won't burn. The process can be made with Dispensers. To remove the Piratite, we need to wash the block in a cauldron.

Other uses

We can use Piratite to make torches, fire charges, campfires and use it as fuel, replacing Coal. Piratite can also be used to power a beacon. We can also use Piratite to make an Incendiary arrow, crafting 2 with 1 arrow and 4 Piratite
