From what I understand about solar panels they require a line of sight to the sky to produce energy
I'm not sure if 4 glowstone blocks is enough to mimick daylight or not. but that's what i tested with

EDIT: I just remembered, the Zeppelin mod did used to work together with the old MineUp (the Beta 1.8.1 version). This means I have no idea why it doesn't work anymore. Ivorius of course changed a lot and probably changed something making this mod stop working.

It's actually the zeppelin mod that has changed. He probably included some height check in the code to avoid buggy aircrafts floating outside the possible bounds, and thus, it became incompatible.

I know that the ice dimension used to work

And it will work again! Since JabJabJab moved on to other projects, I will include IceMod in MineUp at some point. With some updated features here and there. It will be awesome! =D

That is true, but overall the most people love to have them both included into 1 mod. And it makes sence for me, they are both gravity mods which add a lot to each other. I'm sorry but you really won't have to expect they are going to be seperated.
Of course you have to ask Ivorius yourself if you really want it seperate.

The thing is that separating them wouldn't really result in anything positive. Compatibility would remain about the same, while the work I have to to would [more or less] double. Which would mean half the new features.

Too much text to include in one quote, handling all the questions while I was gone.

Awesome work, thanks! I think you did a great job answering the questions correctly.


Also, tomorrow I will program some more shaders. Shaders are fun! This will result in more functionality for AlcoholCraft [It's going to be freaking awesome], but also some for GravityCraft. Transitions, effects and teleportation looks more awesome when handled via shaders

Quote from PureTryOut

You don't mean shaders like the water shader mod right? ;p

Mine will be a bit more basic / abstract (at first). Creating something that beautiful requires quite a bit training

Quote from PureTryOut

But how would making more shaders provide more functionality? Does it just look better?

Yes, shaders are purely visual. There are possibilities for enhanced gameplay mechanic through that though. Mirrors, looking through portals, and similar, are usually handled via shaders.

Where can I Find the 1.2.5 version of modloader

Simply click on Old Versions on the ModLoader page =)

Quote from trivork

When I click it I get a folder in modloader. But I dont know at all how to download that folder. Please help my.

Uhm, just download the file you need. It's ModLoader 1.2.5, so just search for ModLoader 1.2.5 and download that one.

A simple idea to satisfy those who want the mods to be seperated: make a Non-layered world option, and add a disable gravitycraft items/blocks option to the config. problem solved, if anyone complains it just means they're lazy

I thought about that before, but judged it too unnecessary to actually implement. But eh, if it's gonna make people happy, I'll just add it

Been looking for a mod that does this, and I found it. Awesome job Ivorforce.

BTW, I has a suggestion: Can there be a layer way above the Skylands' where the End could generate? This higher layer would be basically in outer space, with a black sky with stars and the Sun (if daytime) or the Moon (if nighttime), and going there would suffocate you (the same way as going underwtaer) unless you go near an End "island" (where your oxygen will be fully-replenished). It'd be awesome if this is possible.

The suggestion came up before, but it's not really logically possible.
Firstly, the ender dragon would be annoying to fix so you won't just fly around all the world layers.
Secondly, the End has some unique world properties that aren't easily implementable as a layer.
Lastly, the end only generates one island, making finding the island incredibly dull. Imagine you have generated a load of land while walking around, and don't know where your spawn was. You'll never be able to find the island then, and the rest of the layer is just black.

That's why I can't really implement the End as a world layer

You might also wanna add a mini-Easter egg where going higher and higher makes the Moon sprite bigger and bigger up to the point that a massive 3D moving cube made up of endstone with a gravity of its own and with Endermen inhabiting it will spawn in place of the sprite. And going even beyond this cube would leave you in an even higher layer with zero gravity (basically beyond Minecraft Earth's gravitational pull). That'd be great, too. LOL. :3

Here, too, logical problems will make such an addition impossible. What if you are a player wanting 50 normal layers, but the moon just keeps getting in the way? Making properties of the environment dependent on the height you are in is risky, because it can become annoying very fast. I want to keep MineUp as customizable as possible, so I can't implement any standards like these

Hey Ivorius could you add an option for redstone activation of the gravity well? It would be awsome to have some sort of control over it with redstone wires and it would expand your options when building mechanisms.

You should read the block documentation before suggesting

From the gravity well documentation:

If you power it with redstone, it will deactivate.
