This has been going through my head for a while now, but I have come up with an expansion to Tekkit that would change minecraft FOREVER.
Summery of ideas:
Collect "Stardust" from Cauldrons placed above the clouds at night.
"Stardust" is used with a book to craft "To the Stars - The essential guild to journey across the Galaxy". This book will take you everything you will need to know in this expansion.
Integrate what you can already learnt in Tekkit to create cutting edge technology. (plus 4 seated cars, telescopes and gas compressors)
Build a spacesuit that can have many attachments that improve different abilities. (eg. jetpack, life-support, shock absorbers, adjustable colours etc.)
You build a rocket with the full works (Afterburners, Air Lock, Gas compresson etc.)
You literally launch it into space
You build space stations in the dimension "Sol E" (E stands for in orbit of earth). You can mobilize yourself around this dimension if your ship is fit for transportation.
You direct yourself to go to the moon. (costs fuel)
Mine stuff, build bases, and discover a more powerful and efficient fuel.
Go to Mars, mine even more and set up "terraformation domes".
Go to "Sol S" to go Saturn and Titan to find even more ores. (S means in obit around Saturn)
Craft and set up a "Warp Drive"
Explore Many other systems in the milky way. (8 star systems including Sol. The remaining systems will only need 1 space dimension each due to their size.)
32 dimensions including the current 3. Equivalent exchange only works on earth (plus extreme endgame items)
Some planets explain where the end, nether, and aether are placed.
Eventually create super powerful weaponry that can burn marks on planets.
Maybe meet an alien race. Your choices can affect how they respond to you (eg. invasion on earth or alliance to new technology)
Have multiplayer fun with your friends with big space battles!
This "To the Stars" book will have the following chapters/layout:
-1-Introduction - Content-Minecraft-Tekkit-Earth Extras-Mission
-2-Rocket Science - Setup-Fuel-Materials-Construction-Saftey
-3-Aerospace - Adapt-Spacestation-Safety
-4-Fly Me To The Moon - Fuel-Landing-Creating Bases-Lift off
-5-The Red Planet - Fuel-Landing-Gases-Life-Construction
-6-To The Stars - Sol-Slipspace-Systems-Explore And Good Luck!
So, what do you guys think?
I will be expanding this thread via an FAQ section on this topic to all the posts.
I will answer as many questions as possible since I haven't explained all of my ideas yet.
Discuss!

So you want someone to make you a mod? And you're... offering no reward of any kind, for what sounds like a huge undertaking? - Niavmai
The general meaning of this thread is to discuss an idea with the community to see if it will work. I have not thought of any further credit ideas. And yes, it's a very big challenge to undertake. I wish to work with mod experts who agree with the idea and are capable of technically creating it. So if there are anyone who is interested in this project and have had past experiences with mods. Feel free to help me make this idea a reality!
I've seen many ambitious mod ideas, but this...
Long story short, you have more chances to see this becoming a reality if you start off simple (Create a new dimension that is the orbit, for example), and then you add more complicated stuff gradually. And also, the odds of an experimented modder just picking up YOUR idea and making YOUR idea a reality are between 0 and... Minus 1. If a modder is good enough to make this, he'll just go ahead and make his own dream-mod. You'll have better chances if you start learning code by yourself, and make the mod by yourself. - Xylord
This is good advice. And I agree with your statement. If anyone does agree with these ambitious mod ideas, they should be put towards the people behind Tekkit if no one can do it. I would admit, I need to get my current school stuff done this year before I could undertake learning javascript. By then, it might be too late and everyone would have left minecraft. I feel this mod is links in well with the Tekkit resources. If anyone DOES know a good, active minecraft modder along this community let me know!
