I had an idea the other day, and it was an idea for a mod.

Now I'm not a modder, so i wouldn't know how to do this or if it's even possible...but what if we had "Gravitee" Blocks? My idea behind it is this: You make 4 gravity blocks, place them in a square against a wall, right click them, and set them to the same frequency between 1-1000. Then, whenever you make contact with this wall, your camera flips so that now you're new "down' would be towards that wall. Now if I make contact with another wall with these Gravitee blocks being powered, or touch the normal ground, the camera flips so that that side is now your "down".

Then there can be the "Grav. Correction Tool". Lets say you're upside down on a ceiling or something when you accidentally slip and fly up into the sky. Right clicking with this tool, the gravity will fix itself so that it's facing the normal way it usually is in.

On the issue of doing things like growing plants/trees and placing liquids: Maybe they work by the blocks sensing what it WOULD do normally and applies it in the direction you're in at the moment.
Example 1: You place a sapling while on the ceiling of your dirt home (noob). You bone meal it and it grows as if you had grown it right-side up.
Example 2: You place a bucket of lava/water in a 2x2 square in your ceiling while upside-down. The lava doesn't flow toward the usual floor but flows upside-down.

Expanding on this idea, i came up with what if you built a giant floating cube with the corners being these Gravitee blocks and set them to the same frequency and powered them. I started powering them while I was on top of the cube. Then I moved to the edge, jumped off, AND... Gravitee flipped to one of the side faces! As long as I don't make contact with the another FACE of the cube (or any blocks underneath the cube of which it is floating over), then I'll stay attracted in that direction.

Idk, just and idea... XP

Why a mod? This seems good enough to vanilla MC.

LOL. And this, sadly, would never be in vanilla MC. Minecraft is medieval, not futuristic, but its GREAT for a mod, at least an idea.

I have another idea. If you fly up to the sky, and go extremely high, there will be an upside down world (similar to this) except all the block textures are upside down. Someone can make this by using the horizon to separate the upside-down world and the normal world (Overlands). Now THAT would be cool

That WOULD be cool for another mod maybe, maybe like a mirror world type thing.
But question:
After the loading screen from one to the other, you would just fall from the sky and end up hitting the ground too hard unless you landed into water or something, so how would you prevent that?

Um.. GRAVITY BOOTS! Something like Chell's boot's in Portal 2! If someone could make a mod for that mirror world, I'd take that instead of my Aether mod in a heartbeat. [EDIT] Also, I thought of that BECAUSE what if you forgot your Grav. Correction Tool, or you didn't have one. Then you would be screwed. [EDIT] I'm going to subscribe. Would you be kindly enough to subscribe back? ;)

Something like the advanced knee replacements? Hmm...interesting idea...Only, they can only be used once per travel in between the worlds. I.e. When you switch to mirror from the overworld, when you hit the ground they break! And then everything would kinda' be the opposite. Creepers would be the reverse creepers from the Elemental Creepers mod. Cows would be different somehow... zombies would do something different etc.

And yes I'll sub to you.. ;P

Cows would be... OXES! With horns and stuff. They can charge at you and break your freakin skull. Zombies have armor and weapons and stuff. Some can wield halberds and stuff.
