Tool Mods [Rant]

Ok ive seen tons and i mean tons of mods that add tools swords and armor to minecraft.
Now please people there are tons of these mods and we need to make better uses for "mostly useless materials"
such as netherrack obsidian lapis etc
Now of course theres nothing wrong with making tool mods its just that we have enough of them.
Id like to see mods that make better use of resources and add something of interesting into the game
such as netherrack being broken down into some powder with some use. Just an example of course.
Anyway the point is we dont really need more sword, tool, armor mods try being creative and make better uses of "mostly useless materials"
