Here is the old OP for posterity:
Xie's Mods For Minecraft v1.4.7 With support for multiplayer (SMP)
This forum thread is for detailing, releasing and discussing my mods. You can also find information about my mods at my wiki (which is a WIP), and for a list of all releases visit my Google Code repository.
Download Xie's Mod for Minecraft 1.4.6/7
(DOWNLOAD)
Contains default farming content. Other content (ultimate fist, weapons and survival tweaks) are disabled, but you can unzip and remove the underscores from the start of the folder names in the content directory to enable them. Requires Minecraft Forge.
To install:
Install Forge. Download the zip file and copy it into your ./mods/ directory, then rename it to Xie.zip. (You no longer need to unzip it into ./mods/Xie, though you can if you want to, or if you need to modify/add more content!)
Latest News
(27th January 2013) I built a website to host my mod - http://www.xiecraft.net/. It's a work in progress, but eventually (over the course of maybe a week or two) I'll migrate all of the information and download links to it from this OP. I'll still be using this thread as a source of feedback of course
(20th January 2013) Fixed underscore disabled content inside zip files, and added some null checks to prevent campfire crashes.
(15th January 2013) Latest release of Xie's Mod does not need to be extracted, content works from within the zip. Also I fixed culling recipes, so the stone tools changes should be working again.
(1st January 2013) Happy New Year!!1
(29th December 2012) Xie's Mod has been updated for Minecraft 1.4.6. Let me know if you find any bugs! Default farming content is included. I've also included the ultimate fist, Xie's weapons and the survival tweaks but they're disabled by default (go into the content directory and rename the folders deleting the underscore if you want to enable the other content). I hope everyone has a happy new year celebration!!
(25th December 2012) Merry Christmas and/or happy winter holiday everybody!! Sorry I didn't get a chance to update to 1.4.6 before going on vacation, but I'll be back home this weekend and I hope to push out an update before the new year About Xie's Mod This is the core of my farming mod, plus the other mods that are to follow. It's comprised of a number of flexible classes that extend the functionality of vanilla blocks and items, and a JSON parser that reads in one or more configuration files and turns them into in-game content. The benefit of doing things this way should be apparent - modifying content no longer requires me to recompile and re-release the mod, all you need to do is download a new configuration file, or even edit it yourself. Better yet, additional content may also be added with extra configuration files and images!
Content Downloads To install these, extract the files into ./mods/Xie/
Default Farming Content (Download) (Contains textures by Thistle)
All of the classic farming content (fruit trees, tomatoes, cotton, corn, hybrid wheat etc) PLUS soy beans, tofu, tea, ketchup, cocoa trees, rose bushes, dandelion patches, carrots, onions, bottled milk, chocolate milk, and sweet tea, PLUS tacos, burritos etc. Added an override for vanilla wheat that drops hybrid wheat seeds 1% of the time. Rose and dandelion recipes have also been overridden, rose to rose seeds to red dye, and similarly for dandelions. Last updated April 16th 2012 - now includes tacos!
Cylan's Default Farming Content (Download) (Textures by Cylan) This is the default farming content, reorginized and re-textured by Cylan. He split up the content into multiple directories and files to make it easier to find what you want to modify and/or disable (remember that adding an underscore to the start of a directory or file will cause it to be skipped over by the parsing engine).
Classic Farming Content (Download)
If you don't want the updated content ("Default Farming Content" above) this download contains only the "classic" 2011 farming content - fruit trees, tomatos, cotton, corn, hybrid wheat, foraging stick, salt, salads, sammiches etc. Last updated April 2nd 2012.
Weapons (Download) Adds three new swords and three new bows: Bone Sword, Glass Sword, Blaze Sword, Bone Bow, Blaze Bow, and a seriously OP fully automatic Redstone Crossbow! See the contained readme for more details and recipes. Last updated November 10th 2012.
Cylan 's Content (LinkWiki)
Cylan has added an enormous amount of new content (far more than comes in the default content pack), new trees, new crops, new ore (aluminium), new tools, new foods, herbs, ice fishing, bacon, ham, sausages... there's a lot of stuff, seriously XD
Survival Tweaks (Download) A collection of small mods to enhance early game survival. Includes Genshou's Survival Pickaxe, campfire, flint tools, clay furnace, smelt gravel to flint, sticks from saplings, and sticks from fences. Wood and stone tools are nerfed, making them less effective against stone, making mining impossible early-game. Cobblestone is not harvestable with wood or stone pickaxes, but stone tools are instead crafted from flint. The player must explore the world to find caves in which to find iron before they can build a mine.
Better Logs (By Daniel_l94) (Mediafire) Adds a slight tint to log ends, depending on their type. Daniel also added wood stain which you can use to cycle through wood colors. See Daniel's post for screenshots and more details!
Pizzza's Pumpkins (Link)
Another contribution, Pizzza's content adds rockmelons, honeydew melons, butternut and Queensland Blue pumpkins! (And incidentally, Queensland is where I'm from )
Apple Trees Only (Download)
Only want apple trees? This is the download for you.
Cocoa Trees Only (Link) (Assembled by laijka)
By popular demand! Adds cocoa trees, and only cocoa trees to the game. Cheers to laijka for putting this together before I had the chance to
Colourful Stuff (Download) (Lantern and glowstone textures by Thistle)
Adds coloured glowstone, lanterns, planks, fences, glass and windows. Only uses 2 extra block ids (for glowstone and lanterns, the rest just replace vanilla content). Note that fences aren't displayed correctly (just show as normal fences) unless you apply the RenderBlock patch, which is contained in zip file. Instructions in the readme.
Currency (Direct Download) (Coin art by beyluna)
Adds iron nuggets, iron coins and gold coins. Coins are crafted from nuggets, and can be turned back into nuggets by smelting.
Genshou's Survival Pickaxe (Download)
Overrides vanilla wood and stone pickaxes so they are less effective against stone, a simple nerf that is intended to enhance and extend the Minecraft early game, encouraging surface exploration and spelunking, until a source of iron is found. Credit goes to Genshou for the idea!
Ultimate Fist Homage (Download)
My homage to the classic mod by Iwannawin, the ultimate fist can punch through any block or (non-dragon) mob in one hit! Because sometimes you just need to run around punching your way through mountains and NPC villages...
Sticks from Saplings (Download)
This is a tiny config file that makes it so you can craft saplings into sticks (by stripping the leaves off, I suppose). Works with or without fruit trees installed.
Wheat Tweak (Download Patch for Farming Content) (Download Standalone Version)
A minor realism tweak that makes wheat crops drop all wheat and no seeds. Seeds can be crafted from wheat (wheat crafts into 3 seeds). Makes it so that you need to save some of your wheat to re-plant, and any left over can be turned into food. The drop rate has been set so that you get more-or-less the same wheat+seeds potential, though it's a little more unstable for small farms (let me know if you think the calculations are off, I didn't test it too thoroughly, also feel free to tweak the drop rates yourself, as always ). There are two versions, the first is a patch to replace the file in the default farming content if you're using that. The second is a standalone version to use if you're not using my default farming content.
Flint Tools (Download)
Makes stone tools craftable from flint instead of cobblestone. Increases the lifetime of the early game by making stone tools a great deal more rare, plus adds a touch of realism. (If you want to keep the vanilla stone recipes all you need do is delete "cullStoneTools.xie").
Coal Blocks Revised (Fabricate Diamonds!) (Download)
Expands on the coal blocks idea, adding charcoal blocks, hard coal, hard coal blocks, black diamonds, black diamond blocks and... fake diamonds! Only hard coal is a new source of fuel, the extra blocks nor black diamonds can be burned in the furnace, the latter is purely an intermediate ingredient for fabricating fake diamonds, which look like diamonds, but can only be used to make diamond tools, swords and armor. More details in the readme, but if my calculations are correct, you need 11.5 full stacks of coal, and just over 15 furnace-minutes to produce a single fake diamond! (NOTE: I have noticed a small bug that sometimes makes charcoal blocks smelt into 9 coal instead of just 1... not sure what's going on there, let me know if it happens to you too!) Cheers to Pyro1997 for the inspiration
Just Coal Blocks (Download)
Adds a coal block, crafted from 9 pieces of coal (not charcoal), and can be crafted back into 9 pieces of coal. It can also be burned in the furnace, providing 12 minutes of burn time (9 times as much as a piece of coal).
Boxing Fists by locoroco555 (a.k.a mbolz) (Non-Forge) (Forge) This content created by locoroco555 (a.k.a mbolz) adds in a new class of weapons to the game. Rather then using a sword, why not be more like a monk, or boxer, whichever you prefer, and use a fist! When you unzip the downloaded file be sure to ignore the folders named _MACOSX and DS_STORE, they have nothing to do with the mod and are created by the mac operating system when the file is compressed. Then just follow the regular install instructions and place the boxing fists (version number) folder into your \Xie\content folder. All this is outlined in the .txt file found in the boxing fists folder. Feel free to request additional/alternate config files, or make your own!
Other Downloads This section is for miscellaneous other download links.
Famland Decay Fix (Download for Minecraft 1.2.5) (Install into your minecraft.jar) Prevents unirrigated farmland from decaying when custom crops have been planted on it.
Apple Drop Patch (Download for Minecraft 1.2.5) (Install into your minecraft.jar)
This is a simple patch for the vanilla leaf block to prevent it from dropping apples, in case you're an apple drop purist and only want your apples to come from apple trees. Note that this gets installed into your minecraft.jar, NOT into the mod content directory.
Undead in Sunlight Patch (Download for Minecraft 1.2.5) (Extract files and install them into your minecraft.jar)
Prevents zombies and skeletons from catching fire in sunlight. Useful for making gameplay slightly more challenging, or for use with texture pack overhauls like Last Days that turn zombies and skeletons into less combustible mobs.
Modifying Block and Item IDs Chances are you'll run into some block or item ID conflicts if you try to run my mod with any others. If this is the case, you can modify the block and item IDs for the default content by editing the ids.xid file(which can be found in the default content directory).
Modifying Other Mod Content You can change other stuff about the mod too by editing the .cfg files in the ./mod/Xie/config/ directory. You can modify drop rates, food nourishment, icon and texture filepaths, and much more! Note that the mod also searches for config files (.cfg and .ini) in the ./config/Xie directory.
Adding Your Own Mod Content If you can use a text editor, you might want to try adding your own blocks, items, crops, trees, recipes and more! There's a quick tutorial over here to get you started. I've also been working hard to write up comprehensive documentation, and you can see the work in progress document Link Removed.
(29th November 2012) Updated to 1.4.5.
(10th November 2012) Fixed my weapons content, adding a spritesheet to fix some texture glitches.
(28th October 2012) Xie's Mod for Minecraft 1.4.2 (beta). Let me know if you find any bugs! For those that are interested, here's what I've done with carrots...
I didn't entirely remove my mod's version of carrots from the content, so that those who already have carrot seeds/carrot crops/carrots just lose them. What I've done is:
Carrot seeds and "Xie" carrots are no longer obtainable in any natural way.
Carrot seeds plant vanilla carrot plants.
"Xie" carrot crops will turn into vanilla carrot plants when they would otherwise "grow".
"Xie" carrots will now appear with the name "Dirty Carrot" and cannot be eaten. They can be crafted into vanilla carrots, and right clicking on them will also turn them into vanilla carrots
The idea behind these changes was to naturally migrate carrots from old save files to vanilla carrots. IF you're running my mod on a fresh world, or just don't care about the loss of a few carrots, feel free to delete/disable the file ./mods/Xie/content/default/carrot_migration.xie.
(10th October 2012) Here's a beta version of the 1.3 update that (should) work server-side as well as client-side. Like the previous beta version, unzip it into your ./mods/ directory. Client and server require the same content files to work. Big thanks to Jordyn for helping me test. Let me know of any bugs you find.
(30th September 2012) A beta version of the 1.3 update is out, check this post for instructions and the download. Not 100% it works in SMP yet, hasn't been very thoroughly tested
(23rd September 2012) Update to 1.3.2 is about 90% done, just a few irritating bugs remaining. If I get time around work I'll try to finish it throughout the week. (Also I kinda broke the OP, but I'll fix it as soon as I'm done with the update )
(18th September 2012) Currently modding for about an hour per week, but hoping to get some work done this weekend!
(3rd September 2012) Happy Labor Day, USA!
(2nd September 2012) Happy Birthday me
(27th August 2012) Yeah, trying to update over the GW2 release weekend was a little ambitious, so sorry, I didn't manage to get it finished Long weekend coming up though, so I'll see about getting some work done then (though my b'day is also this weekend, so no promises! XD)
(23rd August 2012) I finally have internet at home again, so this weekend is looking pretty good for updating work. Will let you know how it goes.
(6th August 2012) Obviously I didn't update to Minecraft 1.3 over the weekend, and I'm moving house this coming weekend... looks like it won't happen till next week *sad face*.
(1st August 2012) Yay 1.3! I'll try to update this weekend.
Old OP Archived for posterity...

Known Bugs
(Hunger) Game crashing when sneaking in water *fixed in Hunger 1.7b*
(Farming) Slight delay when fertilising wheat and corn and them growing
(Cooking) Stove glitch where it sometimes eats your fuel and foodstuffs and closes the GUI *fixed in Cooking 1.7c*
(Food Stacking) Its possible to get stacked food into the quickbar using SHIFT-CLICK *fixed in Food Stacking 1.7b*
Settings Files
Block IDs, Item IDs, and various options for my mods can be modified in the .ini files found in the (Minecraft)/mods/Xie/ directory. The options range from enabling and disabling mod content, adjusting health gained from foods, the rate which things grow, the time it takes to get hungry/thirsty/tired and more.
What to do if it doesn't work...
If you've attempted to install a mod and it hasn't worked (you get a black screen, or the game crashes when you try to run it) please post the contents of Modloader.txt on this forum inside "spoiler" and "code" tags.
Expanding upon the game's existing farming mechanics, I make pumpkins growable, and add fruit trees and new crops, such as watermelons, corn, cotton, and tomatoes. I've introduced a seed splicing mechanic, that lets you make more advanced seeds from basic ones.

Mod Guide
Common seeds are gained by tilling the ground around the plant you're after - till the grass near a pumpkin to get pumpkin seeds, for example. There is a small chance of getting random seeds from tilling the grass anywhere (better chance with a diamond hoe). Eating watermelons will also sometimes give you watermelon seeds. Common seeds include pumpkin, watermelon, red and yellow seeds.
Hybrid seeds are gained by harvesting wheat (random chance to sometimes drop amongst normal seeds), or by combining red dust with seeds, causing them to mutate. These hybrid seeds will grow hybrid wheat, which is like normal wheat, except it grows up to 3 blocks high (note that fertiliser will only fully grow one block of hybrid wheat at a time, you'll have to wait for it to grow higher on its own).
Hybrid seeds can be spliced with common seeds to make more advanced crops, including corn, cotton, tomatoes and lettuce. Corn will grow up to 3 blocks high, cotton is craftable into string, and tomatoes and lettuces are delicious! And corn kernels (not corn seeds) can be smelted into popcorn!
Tomato and cotton plants can bear multiple times, they aren't destroyed when harvested, and will regrow their product.
Crops
Back row, left to right: corn, hybrid wheat
Front row, left to right: watermelon, cotton, tomato, lettuce, yellow flower, red flower, pumpkin
Fruit Trees

Recipes
Left to right: cotton into string, orange juice, lemonade
Seed Splicing
Left to right: hybrid seeds, spliced seeds (e.g. cotton), sliced sapling (e.g. apple)
The recipes for seed and sapling splicing are as follows:
Can't make any promises wrt game balance, so feel free to tweak the spawn rates, drop chances and health gained in the /mods/Xie/farming.ini file (created when first run). The default .ini file is included in the zip if you wanted to see what its made of. And remember if you have an older version installed, you'll need to delete your existing farming.ini file for the new one to be automatically generated.
Compliments to qbicfeet for the idea and textures for Square Watermelons! (And apologies to all those involved in that thread, since I didn't implement them exactly as specified... if you yell at me enough in this thread I'll probably change it lol)
Huge thank you to Thistle and RichardErickson for their art contributions! As you'll notice most of the pixel art is kinda ghetto, that's because I've done it... I only survive through the kindness of artists
Big thanks to Risugami for his ModLoader and the good folks of the MCP for making it so easy to mod!
Modders
If you want to make use of items from this mod (or my Cooking mod) in your own crafting recipes, follow these easy steps
1. Add a XieMod.java file to your project. You can use mine (you can find my source in my Google Code repository), or create your own interface to it that contains only the items you're going to need (so long as they have the same field names as the originals, again refer to my source), such as:
package net.minecraft.src;
public class XieMod {
public static ItemFood lettuce;
public static ItemFood tomato;
public static ItemFood cornCob;
// etc
}
2. Add (or add to) the "ModsLoaded" method in your mod_*.java file, similar to this one:
public void ModsLoaded() {
if (ModLoader.isModLoaded("mod_XieFarming")) {
ModLoader.AddShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(Item.bread), new Object []
{XieMod.cornCob, XieMod.cornCob, XieMod.cornCob});
// etc
}
}
(This example adds a crafting recipe for "corn bread")
3. Reobsfucate your code, and install your mod and my mod normally, completely ignoring the XieMod.class that your project generates (make sure you use the one for my mod).
So this will detect the presence of my mod, and then load the crafting recipes that you specify, which can be dependant on items from either my Farming mod or Cooking mod (since they're all stored in XieMod.class).
Default Settings
Please note, I've changed the way that crops (wheat, hybrid wheat and corn) grow. Their growth chances are now 100 = same rate as wheat in vanilla, less means they grow faster, more means they grow slower.
This mod adds hunger, thirst and fatigue bars (or icons, if you prefer). Eating food reduces your hunger bar, and eating fruit will also reduce your thirst bar. You can also sneak in water to drink it. If using my farming mod, you can also drink lemonade or orange juice to reduce your thirst.

If you prefer a rapidly generating/regenerating fatigue system, you may prefer Genshou's settings file:
I changed the fatigue rates to make more of a 'breath' type system. Fatigue builds much quicker, but also goes away extremely fast when you hold absolutely still. 'Sneaking' restores fatigue at a slower rate than holding still, but when combined with fatiguing actions such as moving/swinging, it can lessen the impact slightly. It's not a very effective way to 'sneak' considering this is a single player mod and creepers still notice you, so I use it as walking/crouching instead. If you choose to use these numbers, be advised: Swimming will kill you very fast if you aren't careful! Stop in the water and hold still to restore fatigue (while watching your air bubbles (!)) or use boats more often. I significantly lowered the rate of fatigue gain while swimming/jumping because it was originally TOO harsh, but it can still kill you pretty quickly if you don't keep your eye on that purple bar.

My Hunger mod was formerly hosted in its own thread.
This mod is my attempt to introduce a little more depth to the foods that are available to the player. I add sammiches and salads, craftable from the workbench, and introduce a stove block, which allows one to cook soups, stews and stir-fries, using a "1x1xt" crafting grid - you add ingredients one at a time, rather than all at once.
Mod Information
As the name would suggest this mod attempts to expand on the game's cooking options, with more food items and cooking blocks, including campfires, stoves, soups, stews, stirfrys, pancakes and sammiches! Check out this demo vid by Xenoph that shows it in action.
Campfire
The campfire is an early game alternative to the furnace, used for basic cooking. The idea originally came from LightWarriorK's post. The campfire is constructed with four sticks in a square, so it can be constructed from your inventory about as soon as you've punched down a tree. It can cook any food a furnace can. Its also a cheap source of light if you're having trouble finding coal (and don't yet have any torches). The catch is it will burn itself out pretty quickly, so is only a temporary solution. There is a slightly upgraded version, the bonfire, that is crafted with four logs, which is of larger size, brightness and burns for longer. Both the campfire and bonfire can be fed more wood to keep them alight.
Stove
The stove is an upgraded version of the furnace, for more advanced food cooking. It can cook food a furnace can, but can also be used to make soups and stirfrys, using a "1x1xt" crafting technique. The stove has a cooking pot instead of an inventory slot, and ingredients are added to the pot, one at a time. One must wait until the pot changes colour, indicating the next ingredient may be added. Here are the current recipes for soups and fried meals:
From a design perspective, the idea behind these recipes is to condense a variety of miscellaneous low-heart-yield food items into homogeneous medium-heart-yield food items.
Not everything can be souped or fried, there's a list of items that can, to which items from other mods can be added. Current "flavouring items" are salt (see below) and yellow flower seeds (with Farming mod, I like to think they're mustard seeds ).
Sammiches
First of I'd like to thank Zenith for his ftw sammich mod, which was truly inspiring, and to everyone else who has done a similar thing. Sammiches in this mod are another form of generic recipe, similar to the soups and stirfrys, but from a workbench. The sammich recipe is a vertical stack of bread, ingredient, bread, and yields a stack of 3 sammiches. Tasty sammiches, the upgraded variety, require two ingredients and some kind of sauce (which goes in the middle, the two ingredients on the side). Again there's a list of sammich ingredients, and sauces that other mods can add items to.
Sammich
Tasty Sammich
Presently items that count as sauces for purposes of making tasty sammiches includes: mayo, guacamole, avocado and tomato.
Oil and Mayo
Oil is made by stacking two seeds vertically on top of an empty wooden bowl, and is used on the stove and as an ingredient to mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is a sauce (used for making tasty sammiches), which requires a bowl of oil, an egg and lemon (from my Farming mod).
Oil
Mayonnaise
Fruit Salad
Another generic recipe, though so far it only has two ingredients: apple and watermelon pieces (requires my Farming mod), though as I discover more fruits they'll be added to the list. You stack two fruits atop a wooden bowl. Om nom nom.
Salad
Salad is similar to fruit salad, but can be made from any two of the following: tomatoes, lettuce and avocado. At present the icon for salad is the same as that for fruit salad...
Pancakes
Pancakes are made using wheat, eggs, a bucket of milk and an empty bucket, which gives you a bucket of pancake batter. How full the bucket is depends on how many wheat and eggs you use. 1 of each gives you enough for half a bucket, 2 of each gives you 3/4 bucket and 3 or each gives you a full bucket. There's enough batter in a full bucket to make 8 pancakes. Pancakes are cooked on the stove, not in a furnace.
Salt
Salt you get from salt deposits, which should appear on sand blocks near water (alternatively you can set in the .ini file the option to till salt from sand instead, if you prefer the method from my old cooking mod). There is also an option in the .ini file to make salt spawn in the world naturally during gameplay. This is set to off by default, please use it with caution, as it will cause random sand blocks near water to turn into salt blocks, so if you have any sand-based constructions, they could be turned into salt... Admittedly you can turn them back into normal sand blocks by harvesting the salt, but I just wanted to make sure you warned
Jerky
This was my attempt to add a low-yield early-game prepared food. You combine salt and cow leather to make jerky. I think I got the idea from velvokay.
Cheese
If you're not using Nando's Dairy Mod (I suggest you check it out if you haven't already, you can build stairs of cheese... XD) you can cook cheese on the stove by adding a bucket of milk, waiting till it changes colour, and then adding a yellow flower, then let that cook until it changes colour again, then you can remove the cheese with a left click. This was an experiment in using the stove for more specific recipes.

Big thank you to Thistle who helped me out with the cheese, fruit salad, jerky, mayo, pancakes, batter, salt and sammiches. Cheers mate! (Note that my old images are still displayed in the recipes above, I'll update those... eventually )
This mod is my solution to the food stackability problem in Minecraft, that problem being that a. food isn't stackable and b. if food were stackable, you could gain too much health too easily. My solution is to make food stackable in chests, in crafting grids and in your inventory, just not in your 10 quickslots.

Is anyone else getting a crash sometimes when using shift to drink water?
I'm using mo creatures and Xie's stuff, with win7 64. I'm attempting to access the error text, but it is elusive. :wink.gif:
((Also, thanks for the wonderful mod Xie, I really enjoy it and was very happy when I saw it had updated.))

Here is the old OP for posterity:
Xie's Mods
For Minecraft v1.4.7
With support for multiplayer (SMP)
This forum thread is for detailing, releasing and discussing my mods. You can also find information about my mods at my wiki (which is a WIP), and for a list of all releases visit my Google Code repository.
Download Xie's Mod for Minecraft 1.4.6/7
(DOWNLOAD)
Contains default farming content. Other content (ultimate fist, weapons and survival tweaks) are disabled, but you can unzip and remove the underscores from the start of the folder names in the content directory to enable them. Requires Minecraft Forge.
To install:
Install Forge. Download the zip file and copy it into your ./mods/ directory, then rename it to Xie.zip. (You no longer need to unzip it into ./mods/Xie, though you can if you want to, or if you need to modify/add more content!)
Latest News
(27th January 2013) I built a website to host my mod - http://www.xiecraft.net/. It's a work in progress, but eventually (over the course of maybe a week or two) I'll migrate all of the information and download links to it from this OP. I'll still be using this thread as a source of feedback of course
(20th January 2013) Fixed underscore disabled content inside zip files, and added some null checks to prevent campfire crashes.
(15th January 2013) Latest release of Xie's Mod does not need to be extracted, content works from within the zip. Also I fixed culling recipes, so the stone tools changes should be working again.
(1st January 2013) Happy New Year!!1
(29th December 2012) Xie's Mod has been updated for Minecraft 1.4.6. Let me know if you find any bugs! Default farming content is included. I've also included the ultimate fist, Xie's weapons and the survival tweaks but they're disabled by default (go into the content directory and rename the folders deleting the underscore if you want to enable the other content). I hope everyone has a happy new year celebration!!
(25th December 2012) Merry Christmas and/or happy winter holiday everybody!! Sorry I didn't get a chance to update to 1.4.6 before going on vacation, but I'll be back home this weekend and I hope to push out an update before the new year
About Xie's Mod
This is the core of my farming mod, plus the other mods that are to follow. It's comprised of a number of flexible classes that extend the functionality of vanilla blocks and items, and a JSON parser that reads in one or more configuration files and turns them into in-game content. The benefit of doing things this way should be apparent - modifying content no longer requires me to recompile and re-release the mod, all you need to do is download a new configuration file, or even edit it yourself. Better yet, additional content may also be added with extra configuration files and images!

For previous releases, see my Google Code repository.
Content Downloads
To install these, extract the files into ./mods/Xie/
Default Farming Content (Download) (Contains textures by Thistle)
All of the classic farming content (fruit trees, tomatoes, cotton, corn, hybrid wheat etc) PLUS soy beans, tofu, tea, ketchup, cocoa trees, rose bushes, dandelion patches, carrots, onions, bottled milk, chocolate milk, and sweet tea, PLUS tacos, burritos etc. Added an override for vanilla wheat that drops hybrid wheat seeds 1% of the time. Rose and dandelion recipes have also been overridden, rose to rose seeds to red dye, and similarly for dandelions. Last updated April 16th 2012 - now includes tacos!
Cylan's Default Farming Content (Download) (Textures by Cylan)
This is the default farming content, reorginized and re-textured by Cylan. He split up the content into multiple directories and files to make it easier to find what you want to modify and/or disable (remember that adding an underscore to the start of a directory or file will cause it to be skipped over by the parsing engine).
Classic Farming Content (Download)
If you don't want the updated content ("Default Farming Content" above) this download contains only the "classic" 2011 farming content - fruit trees, tomatos, cotton, corn, hybrid wheat, foraging stick, salt, salads, sammiches etc. Last updated April 2nd 2012.
Weapons (Download)
Adds three new swords and three new bows: Bone Sword, Glass Sword, Blaze Sword, Bone Bow, Blaze Bow, and a seriously OP fully automatic Redstone Crossbow! See the contained readme for more details and recipes. Last updated November 10th 2012.
Cylan 's Content (Link Wiki)
Cylan has added an enormous amount of new content (far more than comes in the default content pack), new trees, new crops, new ore (aluminium), new tools, new foods, herbs, ice fishing, bacon, ham, sausages... there's a lot of stuff, seriously XD
Survival Tweaks (Download)
A collection of small mods to enhance early game survival. Includes Genshou's Survival Pickaxe, campfire, flint tools, clay furnace, smelt gravel to flint, sticks from saplings, and sticks from fences. Wood and stone tools are nerfed, making them less effective against stone, making mining impossible early-game. Cobblestone is not harvestable with wood or stone pickaxes, but stone tools are instead crafted from flint. The player must explore the world to find caves in which to find iron before they can build a mine.
Better Logs (By Daniel_l94) (Mediafire)
Adds a slight tint to log ends, depending on their type. Daniel also added wood stain which you can use to cycle through wood colors. See Daniel's post for screenshots and more details!
Pizzza's Pumpkins (Link)
Another contribution, Pizzza's content adds rockmelons, honeydew melons, butternut and Queensland Blue pumpkins! (And incidentally, Queensland is where I'm from )
Apple Trees Only (Download)
Only want apple trees? This is the download for you.
Cocoa Trees Only (Link) (Assembled by laijka)
By popular demand! Adds cocoa trees, and only cocoa trees to the game. Cheers to laijka for putting this together before I had the chance to
Colourful Stuff (Download) (Lantern and glowstone textures by Thistle)
Adds coloured glowstone, lanterns, planks, fences, glass and windows. Only uses 2 extra block ids (for glowstone and lanterns, the rest just replace vanilla content). Note that fences aren't displayed correctly (just show as normal fences) unless you apply the RenderBlock patch, which is contained in zip file. Instructions in the readme.
Currency (Direct Download) (Coin art by beyluna)
Adds iron nuggets, iron coins and gold coins. Coins are crafted from nuggets, and can be turned back into nuggets by smelting.
Genshou's Survival Pickaxe (Download)
Overrides vanilla wood and stone pickaxes so they are less effective against stone, a simple nerf that is intended to enhance and extend the Minecraft early game, encouraging surface exploration and spelunking, until a source of iron is found. Credit goes to Genshou for the idea!
Ultimate Fist Homage (Download)
My homage to the classic mod by Iwannawin, the ultimate fist can punch through any block or (non-dragon) mob in one hit! Because sometimes you just need to run around punching your way through mountains and NPC villages...
Sticks from Saplings (Download)
This is a tiny config file that makes it so you can craft saplings into sticks (by stripping the leaves off, I suppose). Works with or without fruit trees installed.
Wheat Tweak (Download Patch for Farming Content) (Download Standalone Version)
A minor realism tweak that makes wheat crops drop all wheat and no seeds. Seeds can be crafted from wheat (wheat crafts into 3 seeds). Makes it so that you need to save some of your wheat to re-plant, and any left over can be turned into food. The drop rate has been set so that you get more-or-less the same wheat+seeds potential, though it's a little more unstable for small farms (let me know if you think the calculations are off, I didn't test it too thoroughly, also feel free to tweak the drop rates yourself, as always ). There are two versions, the first is a patch to replace the file in the default farming content if you're using that. The second is a standalone version to use if you're not using my default farming content.
Flint Tools (Download)
Makes stone tools craftable from flint instead of cobblestone. Increases the lifetime of the early game by making stone tools a great deal more rare, plus adds a touch of realism. (If you want to keep the vanilla stone recipes all you need do is delete "cullStoneTools.xie").
Coal Blocks Revised (Fabricate Diamonds!) (Download)
Expands on the coal blocks idea, adding charcoal blocks, hard coal, hard coal blocks, black diamonds, black diamond blocks and... fake diamonds! Only hard coal is a new source of fuel, the extra blocks nor black diamonds can be burned in the furnace, the latter is purely an intermediate ingredient for fabricating fake diamonds, which look like diamonds, but can only be used to make diamond tools, swords and armor. More details in the readme, but if my calculations are correct, you need 11.5 full stacks of coal, and just over 15 furnace-minutes to produce a single fake diamond! (NOTE: I have noticed a small bug that sometimes makes charcoal blocks smelt into 9 coal instead of just 1... not sure what's going on there, let me know if it happens to you too!) Cheers to Pyro1997 for the inspiration
Just Coal Blocks (Download)
Adds a coal block, crafted from 9 pieces of coal (not charcoal), and can be crafted back into 9 pieces of coal. It can also be burned in the furnace, providing 12 minutes of burn time (9 times as much as a piece of coal).
Boxing Fists by locoroco555 (a.k.a mbolz) (Non-Forge) (Forge)
This content created by locoroco555 (a.k.a mbolz) adds in a new class of weapons to the game. Rather then using a sword, why not be more like a monk, or boxer, whichever you prefer, and use a fist! When you unzip the downloaded file be sure to ignore the folders named _MACOSX and DS_STORE, they have nothing to do with the mod and are created by the mac operating system when the file is compressed. Then just follow the regular install instructions and place the boxing fists (version number) folder into your \Xie\content folder. All this is outlined in the .txt file found in the boxing fists folder.
Feel free to request additional/alternate config files, or make your own!
Other Downloads
This section is for miscellaneous other download links.
4096 Block Ids Compatibility Patch (Download for Apr 23 version, for Minecraft 1.2.5)
A compatibility patch for Robinton's 4096 Block Ids mod. Just replace the existing files with those contained in the zip.
Famland Decay Fix (Download for Minecraft 1.2.5) (Install into your minecraft.jar)
Prevents unirrigated farmland from decaying when custom crops have been planted on it.
Apple Drop Patch (Download for Minecraft 1.2.5) (Install into your minecraft.jar)
This is a simple patch for the vanilla leaf block to prevent it from dropping apples, in case you're an apple drop purist and only want your apples to come from apple trees. Note that this gets installed into your minecraft.jar, NOT into the mod content directory.
Undead in Sunlight Patch (Download for Minecraft 1.2.5) (Extract files and install them into your minecraft.jar)
Prevents zombies and skeletons from catching fire in sunlight. Useful for making gameplay slightly more challenging, or for use with texture pack overhauls like Last Days that turn zombies and skeletons into less combustible mobs.
Modifying Block and Item IDs
Chances are you'll run into some block or item ID conflicts if you try to run my mod with any others. If this is the case, you can modify the block and item IDs for the default content by editing the ids.xid file(which can be found in the default content directory).
Modifying Other Mod Content
You can change other stuff about the mod too by editing the .cfg files in the ./mod/Xie/config/ directory. You can modify drop rates, food nourishment, icon and texture filepaths, and much more! Note that the mod also searches for config files (.cfg and .ini) in the ./config/Xie directory.
Adding Your Own Mod Content
If you can use a text editor, you might want to try adding your own blocks, items, crops, trees, recipes and more! There's a quick tutorial over here to get you started. I've also been working hard to write up comprehensive documentation, and you can see the work in progress document Link Removed.
(10th November 2012) Fixed my weapons content, adding a spritesheet to fix some texture glitches.
(28th October 2012) Xie's Mod for Minecraft 1.4.2 (beta). Let me know if you find any bugs! For those that are interested, here's what I've done with carrots...
I didn't entirely remove my mod's version of carrots from the content, so that those who already have carrot seeds/carrot crops/carrots just lose them. What I've done is:
(10th October 2012) Here's a beta version of the 1.3 update that (should) work server-side as well as client-side. Like the previous beta version, unzip it into your ./mods/ directory. Client and server require the same content files to work. Big thanks to Jordyn for helping me test. Let me know of any bugs you find.
(30th September 2012) A beta version of the 1.3 update is out, check this post for instructions and the download. Not 100% it works in SMP yet, hasn't been very thoroughly tested
(23rd September 2012) Update to 1.3.2 is about 90% done, just a few irritating bugs remaining. If I get time around work I'll try to finish it throughout the week. (Also I kinda broke the OP, but I'll fix it as soon as I'm done with the update )
(18th September 2012) Currently modding for about an hour per week, but hoping to get some work done this weekend!
(3rd September 2012) Happy Labor Day, USA!
(2nd September 2012) Happy Birthday me
(27th August 2012) Yeah, trying to update over the GW2 release weekend was a little ambitious, so sorry, I didn't manage to get it finished Long weekend coming up though, so I'll see about getting some work done then (though my b'day is also this weekend, so no promises! XD)
(23rd August 2012) I finally have internet at home again, so this weekend is looking pretty good for updating work. Will let you know how it goes.
(6th August 2012) Obviously I didn't update to Minecraft 1.3 over the weekend, and I'm moving house this coming weekend... looks like it won't happen till next week *sad face*.
(1st August 2012) Yay 1.3! I'll try to update this weekend.
Old OP Archived for posterity...

Mod Guide
Common seeds are gained by tilling the ground around the plant you're after - till the grass near a pumpkin to get pumpkin seeds, for example. There is a small chance of getting random seeds from tilling the grass anywhere (better chance with a diamond hoe). Eating watermelons will also sometimes give you watermelon seeds. Common seeds include pumpkin, watermelon, red and yellow seeds.
Hybrid seeds are gained by harvesting wheat (random chance to sometimes drop amongst normal seeds), or by combining red dust with seeds, causing them to mutate. These hybrid seeds will grow hybrid wheat, which is like normal wheat, except it grows up to 3 blocks high (note that fertiliser will only fully grow one block of hybrid wheat at a time, you'll have to wait for it to grow higher on its own).
Hybrid seeds can be spliced with common seeds to make more advanced crops, including corn, cotton, tomatoes and lettuce. Corn will grow up to 3 blocks high, cotton is craftable into string, and tomatoes and lettuces are delicious! And corn kernels (not corn seeds) can be smelted into popcorn!
Tomato and cotton plants can bear multiple times, they aren't destroyed when harvested, and will regrow their product.
Crops
Back row, left to right: corn, hybrid wheat
Front row, left to right: watermelon, cotton, tomato, lettuce, yellow flower, red flower, pumpkin

Recipes

Seed Splicing

The recipes for seed and sapling splicing are as follows:
Can't make any promises wrt game balance, so feel free to tweak the spawn rates, drop chances and health gained in the /mods/Xie/farming.ini file (created when first run). The default .ini file is included in the zip if you wanted to see what its made of. And remember if you have an older version installed, you'll need to delete your existing farming.ini file for the new one to be automatically generated.
Compliments to qbicfeet for the idea and textures for Square Watermelons! (And apologies to all those involved in that thread, since I didn't implement them exactly as specified... if you yell at me enough in this thread I'll probably change it lol)
Huge thank you to Thistle and RichardErickson for their art contributions! As you'll notice most of the pixel art is kinda ghetto, that's because I've done it... I only survive through the kindness of artists
Big thanks to Risugami for his ModLoader and the good folks of the MCP for making it so easy to mod!
Modders
If you want to make use of items from this mod (or my Cooking mod) in your own crafting recipes, follow these easy steps
1. Add a XieMod.java file to your project. You can use mine (you can find my source in my Google Code repository), or create your own interface to it that contains only the items you're going to need (so long as they have the same field names as the originals, again refer to my source), such as:
2. Add (or add to) the "ModsLoaded" method in your mod_*.java file, similar to this one:
(This example adds a crafting recipe for "corn bread")
3. Reobsfucate your code, and install your mod and my mod normally, completely ignoring the XieMod.class that your project generates (make sure you use the one for my mod).
So this will detect the presence of my mod, and then load the crafting recipes that you specify, which can be dependant on items from either my Farming mod or Cooking mod (since they're all stored in XieMod.class).
Default Settings
Please note, I've changed the way that crops (wheat, hybrid wheat and corn) grow. Their growth chances are now 100 = same rate as wheat in vanilla, less means they grow faster, more means they grow slower.

Download Cooking v1.7c (AdF.ly) (Direct)
(Requires RisuGami's ModLoader)
Mod Information
As the name would suggest this mod attempts to expand on the game's cooking options, with more food items and cooking blocks, including campfires, stoves, soups, stews, stirfrys, pancakes and sammiches! Check out this demo vid by Xenoph that shows it in action.
Campfire
The campfire is an early game alternative to the furnace, used for basic cooking. The idea originally came from LightWarriorK's post. The campfire is constructed with four sticks in a square, so it can be constructed from your inventory about as soon as you've punched down a tree. It can cook any food a furnace can. Its also a cheap source of light if you're having trouble finding coal (and don't yet have any torches). The catch is it will burn itself out pretty quickly, so is only a temporary solution. There is a slightly upgraded version, the bonfire, that is crafted with four logs, which is of larger size, brightness and burns for longer. Both the campfire and bonfire can be fed more wood to keep them alight.
Stove
The stove is an upgraded version of the furnace, for more advanced food cooking. It can cook food a furnace can, but can also be used to make soups and stirfrys, using a "1x1xt" crafting technique. The stove has a cooking pot instead of an inventory slot, and ingredients are added to the pot, one at a time. One must wait until the pot changes colour, indicating the next ingredient may be added. Here are the current recipes for soups and fried meals:
From a design perspective, the idea behind these recipes is to condense a variety of miscellaneous low-heart-yield food items into homogeneous medium-heart-yield food items.
Not everything can be souped or fried, there's a list of items that can, to which items from other mods can be added. Current "flavouring items" are salt (see below) and yellow flower seeds (with Farming mod, I like to think they're mustard seeds ).
Sammiches
First of I'd like to thank Zenith for his ftw sammich mod, which was truly inspiring, and to everyone else who has done a similar thing. Sammiches in this mod are another form of generic recipe, similar to the soups and stirfrys, but from a workbench. The sammich recipe is a vertical stack of bread, ingredient, bread, and yields a stack of 3 sammiches. Tasty sammiches, the upgraded variety, require two ingredients and some kind of sauce (which goes in the middle, the two ingredients on the side). Again there's a list of sammich ingredients, and sauces that other mods can add items to.
Sammich
Tasty Sammich
Presently items that count as sauces for purposes of making tasty sammiches includes: mayo, guacamole, avocado and tomato.
Oil and Mayo
Oil is made by stacking two seeds vertically on top of an empty wooden bowl, and is used on the stove and as an ingredient to mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is a sauce (used for making tasty sammiches), which requires a bowl of oil, an egg and lemon (from my Farming mod).
Oil
Mayonnaise
Fruit Salad
Another generic recipe, though so far it only has two ingredients: apple and watermelon pieces (requires my Farming mod), though as I discover more fruits they'll be added to the list. You stack two fruits atop a wooden bowl. Om nom nom.
Salad
Salad is similar to fruit salad, but can be made from any two of the following: tomatoes, lettuce and avocado. At present the icon for salad is the same as that for fruit salad...
Pancakes
Pancakes are made using wheat, eggs, a bucket of milk and an empty bucket, which gives you a bucket of pancake batter. How full the bucket is depends on how many wheat and eggs you use. 1 of each gives you enough for half a bucket, 2 of each gives you 3/4 bucket and 3 or each gives you a full bucket. There's enough batter in a full bucket to make 8 pancakes. Pancakes are cooked on the stove, not in a furnace.
Salt
Salt you get from salt deposits, which should appear on sand blocks near water (alternatively you can set in the .ini file the option to till salt from sand instead, if you prefer the method from my old cooking mod). There is also an option in the .ini file to make salt spawn in the world naturally during gameplay. This is set to off by default, please use it with caution, as it will cause random sand blocks near water to turn into salt blocks, so if you have any sand-based constructions, they could be turned into salt... Admittedly you can turn them back into normal sand blocks by harvesting the salt, but I just wanted to make sure you warned
Jerky
This was my attempt to add a low-yield early-game prepared food. You combine salt and cow leather to make jerky. I think I got the idea from velvokay.
Cheese
If you're not using Nando's Dairy Mod (I suggest you check it out if you haven't already, you can build stairs of cheese... XD) you can cook cheese on the stove by adding a bucket of milk, waiting till it changes colour, and then adding a yellow flower, then let that cook until it changes colour again, then you can remove the cheese with a left click. This was an experiment in using the stove for more specific recipes.
Pixel Art
Big thank you to Thistle who helped me out with the cheese, fruit salad, jerky, mayo, pancakes, batter, salt and sammiches. Cheers mate! (Note that my old images are still displayed in the recipes above, I'll update those... eventually )

I'm using mo creatures and Xie's stuff, with win7 64. I'm attempting to access the error text, but it is elusive. :wink.gif:
((Also, thanks for the wonderful mod Xie, I really enjoy it and was very happy when I saw it had updated.))
But Im getting a little confused with the hunger time ticks and such.
So, if left default, 20 seconds = 1 tick for the overall hunger tick amount.
and so, it takes 60 ticks to start to starve, and 60 more to die from starvation.
so it takes 40 minutes to die by starvation?
Or Im completely wrong.
Tke an look at ma awsum art! I don't actualy spell like that.
