    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Boosted Stone
    What are you suggesting:
    Boosted Stone which can give the stone ores as a bonus drop at a low percent chance.

    There are two conditions for specific ores to drop when mining stone: the percentage chance an ore will drop, and the percentage of each ore dropping WHEN an ore does drop

    For starters, the chance any ore would drop:
    This will be low and increase with the boosted level. For purposes of a suggested percentage, I am thinking:

    B1 - 0.05% chance an ore will drop alongside a stone
    B2 - 0.10% chance an ore will drop alongside a stone
    B3 - 0.20 % chance an ore will drop alongside a stone
    [B3 Equates for 1 ore per 500 blocks in perfect probability]

    Now in terms of what ore drops, the more valuable ores will have a lower chance. When an ore does drop, it has these percent chances of that specific ore dropping:

    Coal: 30% chance
    Redstone: 15%
    Lapis: 15%
    Copper: 10%
    Gold: 10%
    Iron: 10%
    Diamond: 5%
    Emerald: 5%
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Now before people say "Oh that will kill the X ore market," keep in mind that the magic from the magic pick and even the multiplier from boosted ores will ONLY work on naturally generated ores, so ores like emerald, diamond, iron, gold, and copper will NOT drop the high yield numbers, but will have to rely on the fortune level.

    Anyway, this suggestion is worthwhile because it gives functionality to a common block and can help people get some more ores from just mining stone. As mentioned, magic and boosted items will not boost any of these obtained ores, so it's more so you can get ores to decorate with and/or a little more mining materials. Except for a few rarer-to-find ores, the pure ore market isn't that valuable when compared to natural ores w/ a magic pick.

    Plus, most ores are kind of easy to find, so these dropped ores are more for a little bonus
    Other information:
    Percentages can obviously be adjusted, I just put them for the sake of putting them
