ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Introducing the Materials Library. Currently includes two new stone types, several technic ores, and a sand type from Valley mapgen.

Using materials from Darkage and Technic, ores are created for these materials and spawn throughout the generated world, adding layers to the boring stone. A must see to believe.

The ultimate goal is to categorize and enumerate the various materials types that are currently scattered across multiple mods, and combine them in one central location, with known properties and access to definitions.

Materials to be included are pretty much any node that can be considered a chemical element, earth aggregate, mineral, and even organic materials. As such, all stone, sand, dirt, tree, wood, leaf, grass, water, lava, oil, ore, and others will be categorized, orgranized, enumerated, and possibly overridden, or simply reproduced, for consistency sake.

Massive update.

This doesn't depend on Default, right? Because if not, this is exactly the type of mod I have been looking for! It's annoying when mods depend on one massive default mod.

happysmash27,

Currently, there are still dependencies regarding the sounds. I have not yet ported the default sounds into this mod.

My intention, however, is to do exactly as you've stated. This mod will attempt to provide a source of materials, stone, dirts, ores, sand, liquids, and any other node that would be naturally appear in the real world. I currently use a modified version of default, stripping out the parts that I successfully recreate here, or in my other mods, that are meant to become a drop in replacement usable by mod and game developers.

Please also take a look at lib_ecology, which depends on lib_materials, and more fully utilizes these nodes in biome defs.
