User blog comment:LOTRMod/On the Removal of Diamonds/@comment-26279265-20150408021809

You know, I can most definitely agree with you on this subject. My only issue is I like to play with other role-playing mods, and it gets really complicated when I'm trying to make certain items but have to give up a stack of coal to get 1 diamond. I hope that the algorithms that allow all wood planks to be used for certain items is implemented for crafting recipies that require vanilla diamonds, (Excluding Tools, Weapons, and Armour, Obviously). I also would love to know if other crystals and ores are implemented, just for the feature of asthetics for treasure rooms. I watched The Hobbit recently, and one line stuck out in the exposition, that the dwarves collected not only gold, but also ruby, emerald, and sapphire. I think it would be interesting to see the Arkenstone implemented in a way, but these are all just suggestions. I know this is a lot of work for you, and I wish I could help in any way.
