I use the chat aswell, but rarely.
Orange soda has been suggested so much already, I don't know why it hasn't been implemented yet.
I have to agree that it would be awesome if they could add Aether Flower pots (I have added this in the suggestion list, if you check it), but I have to disagree with Aether brick. Why, you ask? We already have Hellfire stone (which is a brick), Angelic Stone (which is a brick), Carved Stone (Which is also a brick) and the light versions of those (Light Hellfire stone, Light Angelic Stone, Sentry Stone), so I think we have enough bricks in the mod already.
