Hello minecrafters, what I have here is a suggestion I made last summer to the wrong fourm. I posted here: "http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1134583-alblakas-mod-shop/page__st__100". Keep in mind I wrote this thinking that Alblaka was serious about the whole space dimension. Enjoy/Comment/Show Alblaka!!!
EDIT: A translation has been made:"Optics cables ". It conveys the information better. If anyone's wondering about my bad formatting it's because I copied
this from another site I posted on. Also this is my first post.
EDIT: The translation was made by Thepowdertoy +Bleach.

You know
you could just maybe have the dimension be filled with a 100% clear
block that doesn't affect your movement but it just makes you unable to
breath. Also you could add some sort of density core(Not a black hole
though, they cause a lot of movement restrictions and also produce a LOT
less gravity per mass unit than matter does. Also they tend to eat
thinks and they can explode if rapidly with super fast, dense pellets of
hydrogenic metal(It could also technically be considered a plasma
though.).) powered by EUs. You'd probably have to change the way gravity
works with sand and gravel. You might also have to make every block an
entity. Also see if you can get chunks to generate in 16x16x16 chunks
for better building. Also make block able to be placed at any
y-level(-1566,2456363576, ect).(If you haven't realized by now I really
want you to make these "cubic chunks" for all dimensions so bedrock
won't ever be needed again at the bottom of the maps. Due to the
addition of ender chests which is a mod I thing the team of minecraft
will put in other mods too. Also with worlds being able to generate
infinitely up and down with your mod they won't be able to resist adding
it to vanilla!!!) Good luck with the gravity!!!
EDIT: You should
also add fiber optic cables capable of carrying light like wires carry
EUs. They should be freestanding and lasers should also be able to come
out of any split ends(A fiber optic cable attached to only 1 adjacent
block. The laser would come out of the opposite side to the made
connection) if enough light is going through it. They should lose one
unit of light amplitude per every 44 turns(or blocks of optic cables if
you want to code it this way.). They can only get light from split ends,
adjacent fiber optic type cables, and light affecting blocks.There
should also be another cable that emits light to every adjacent block it
travels if light is going through it, getting dimmer as it goes on
through the dark called a refraction cable. They lose
((amount_of_transparent_adjacent_sides-amount_of_connections)*5*(7-surrounding_light_level))%
of amplitude of the light going through them per block traveled. This
has the potential to both gain light in light levels above 7, lose light
in levels lower than 7 and keep the same amount of light in level 7
light. It will only emit its light to adjacent transparent(excluding
Fiber optic type cables) or air blocks. You can also store light in
optic batteries. They can receive light on 5 sides. They can output
light on 1 side. It outputs white light into optic cables at level 100.
If no wire is connected to it on the output side it won't output light.
If a redstone current is applied it will stop emitting light into a
cable connected to the output side. If no current is applied and there
is a optic cable attached to it on its output side then it will emit
light into it if it has split ends, refraction cables, or has at least 1
connection to a light affecting block(Optic batteries, refrequenciers,
reamplifiers, solar panels, optic generators, or the input side of an
optic diode) that can accept light at the time. A restriction cable is
just like the optic cable but when redstone current is applied to it no
light can pass through it. Optic diode blocks have only 1 input and 1
output. It only lets light go through 1 way. A refrequencier changes the
frequency of the light going through it to a certain frequency while
changing to amplitude in relation to the change in frequency. It has 1
input and 1 output. A reamplifier does the the exact same thing but with
the amplitude instead. You can connect a optic cable to a Luminator in
order to convert EU to light. You can then feed light into a Optic
Generator to convert Light into EU. Optic Generators have an optic input
and an electrical output. Optic generators can turn all amplitudes and
frequencies of light into EUs. Frequency receivers emit a redstone
current when they detect a certain frequency at an amplitude of 1 or
greater. Fiber optic cables can only make lasers. A refraction cable
makes fields of light. At any emission level(amplitude) they generate
fields into transparent, non-optic cable adjacent sides. Lasers and
fields come in 7 types.
Radio(0GHz-3GHz)
Microwaves(3GHz-300GHz)
Infrared(300GHz-400000GHz)
Visible(400000GHz-750000GHz)
Red(400000GHz-484000GHz)
Orange(484000GHz-508000GHz)
Yellow(508000GHz-526000GHz)
Green(526000GHz-606000GHz)
Blue(606000GHz-668000GHz)
Violet(668000GHz-789000GHz)
Ultraviolet(789000GHz-30000000GHz)
X-Ray(30000000GHz-15000000000GHz)
Gamma(+15000000000GHz)
Radio waves just go through things only to send signals to Frequency receivers.
Microwaves
make water blocks evaporate if they can go through them. They also make
mobs and flammable blocks catch on fire at levels 11 and above.
Infrared waves can cause blindness at level 58
Visible
waves just show colors. They can be in the same space as another laser
or field so you know if it's there or not. They can also be used for
special effects.
Ultraviolet waves are the only light frequency that
can be used to power solar panels(making 1 EU per every 15 levels). They
also make undead mobs catch on fire.
X-Rays can make the skeleton of mobs in them show. Can induce the poison effect.
Gamma
rays cause rapid damage to entities like if they are near a hot
reactor. If it can go through a block it can break it. It's kind of like
what happens when a nuke explodes. It should be overlapped with a
color(visible waves) laser when used for mining for safety.
Actually...the laser doesn't retrieve blocks and they could fall into
lava. It should only be used for death rays.
A wave's ability to
go through a block is calculated like this:
((18*amplitude)/wave_frequency). This determines a wave's strength. If a
wave's strength is greater than a block's blast resistance it will go
through it, however the wave's strength will weaken by the block it just
passed though's blast resistance. If it's a gamma ray it will break the
block if it goes through. You can use this formula to find a wave's
amplitude: ((1/18)*wave_frequency*wave_strength).
The EU to light wave strength is 1 EU=0.0003375 wave strength.
All
vanilla light emitting blocks emit white
light(red(442000)+green(566000)+blue(637000)=1645000 per level). Thus
glowstone emits 3 different light colors overlaying to appear white.
Thus it has a strength of 0.0001641337386. So this you could surround
glowstone or jack-o-lanterns with refraction cables to generate white
light and turn that into EUs. You can also turn sunlight into EUs. You
can even use these cables to capture the gamma radiation released from
nukes or reactor before and when they explode. Thus they can also be
used as shields.
