    Suggested name: Valuable Diamonds

    A bit about me: From the time I started hosting a server and playing Minecraft, what bothered me was that most in-game items could be acquired in a matter of minutes. It is only when you first start a server that there's the rush to get better weapons and what not. After one day, you see everyone with diamond weaponry, enchanted tools, and brewing stands. To make this more like an RPG server, where a time commitment is required to get most items, where a few players will undoubtedly have better items than others, I took a series of steps to make certain objects rarer. This began with using Monster Apocalypse to make spiders extremely rare and blazes much stronger, thus making bows rarer and brewing stands (and potions) harder to obtain. I am the kind of person who like s a server where players say "who's that person with the brewing stand - I need to use it" rather than everyone being completely self sufficient. The only thing I have not been able to "fix" is diamonds. They are still far too common.

    What I want: A plugin (or world generator) which, when given a particular seed, generates the world as it would be normally, but allowing you to modify the rarity (as a % of default value) of certain ores, namely diamond. I know it's possible to distinguish between the terrain and ores since orebfuscator can do it, so basically what I'm asking is instead of simply making it look like there are different ores below, to actually make those ores different (which I assume would be only possible via a world generator and to create a new world - which I am willing to do).

    OR

    If it is difficult to create the plugin mentioned above, then perhaps a way to indirectly make diamond ore 9x rarer by changing the crafting recipes for all diamond-related objects (except diamodn blocks) to use diamond blocks instead (which, I believe, is possibel through Spout [not spoutcraft]). I would gladly use this method instead if it does not show any crafting "products" when you craft with diamond normally.
    Ideas for commands: No commands needed for this plugin.

    Ideas for permissions: I don't have the need for any permissions, but someone else may want a permission to give players so that they can craft with diamonds normally

    When I'd like it by: As soon as possible since I am in the process of preparing to move to a new world and the players on my server are waiting as well.

    Similar plugin requests: None.

    Devs who might be interested in this: Possibly the devs of Terrain Control (I tried using this, but with a given seed it generates a world completely different from what it would be normally [vanilla]). I have also made a similar request in the comments section of that mod.

    Or, if someone could just tell me how I can achieve something like this with TerrainControl (because I don't like all the new biomes it creates) then that would be splendid.
