Utility & QoL

Do you guys think dripstone and basalt are in lack of functionality ? Well this mod will fix this issue by adding to the game some Vanilla-Friendly blocks to the game

 

Changes:

Dripstone:Now drops are Cobbled version of itself instead,and require silk touch to drop its intact form, Dripstone spikes are added too(defensive block). Added dripstone coal ore, meaning a bit more coal will generate in dripstone caves

Basalt:Same as dripstone,has a cobble version of it. Another notable info,basalt brick item(craftable in the stone cutter) are added and required to craft basalt bricks,added smooth basalt stairs and slabs

Basalt mounts: biome full of volcanic plants,basaltic organs and etc.

Basalt Organs:generate in basalt mounts 

Basalt castel:new complex structure,generate in basalt mounts 

Viperine:2 block tall plants that can generate in basalt mounts,has 3 variants (pale,red and normal).

Volcanic sprouts:generate in basalt mounts

Resting Skeleton:can be used for decorative purpose or added in structures, generate naturaly in basalt castel underground crypts

Topaz:generates abundantly in dripstone caves,used mainly for building but can be used for making topaz tools(stronger than stone but less than iron)Topaz can be combined with dripstone building blocks to make topaz encrusted variants.

Basalt Alloy:made out of basalt and volcanic gravel, the bricks made out of this resist perfectly to explosions.

New eapon type: stakes act like a axe, they can pierce shields and attack fast.

Mobs:

Dripped:can be encountered in dripstone caves, they will attack you on sight, they seem to dislike villagers aswell.

 

More infos:Work very well with create(spikes can be used in mobs-like farms and spikes doesn't destroy items)

Facts:I will listen any suggestions in comments depending on if i can or not do it(im not that skilled for modding)
