Attention modders: Some ideas!

I have two ideas for game-changing mods, and both are based on books I have read, however I really do think they could work

1. A Long Earth mod. For those who haven't read the Long Earth, in it there are infinite Earths in parallel universes, and you can reach them by using a "Stepper Box" (Switching world is called stepping) a small cube with a switch to take you "East" or "West" a world. It's hard to explain, so here's a diagram:

Datum Earth is the first Earth humanity started on. Each change of digit is a change of Earth. When you step, you end up on the exact same location, just on a different Earth. Also, note there are "Belts" of Earths: Earths that share a particular quality, like the Mine Belt, a string of Earths that are rich in ores and mountains. Also, IRON CANNOT BE CARRIED OVER this is extremely important to remember. Anything made of iron and other stuff, will be reduced to the other stuff

2. A Mortal Engines mod. Being able to put a factory on wheels. It would also be great if you could have some sort of super miners that can just completely shred an ore patch to nothing, reaping all the ore, since you really wouldn't want to stay in one place
Heres what I'm talking about:

Hope these give you modders some inspiration! This isn't really a request so much as me giving you guys something to think about :idea:

Sucks for you if you rely on hemoglobin for anything important.
