Here's a simple mod, EasyCraft! It makes the game easier, particularly on the first night, and maybe for a while after that.
Can't quite make a shelter and everything you need by the first night? Got a friend that's new to Minecraft, and who you're introducing to the game, and isn't quick enough to be prepared before the zombies come out?
Well, this should make it easier for you (or your friend).
This is meant to make the game a bit more manageable at the start, without affecting gameplay later on. Also, it is meant to not add anything it all, just change things (e.g. I didn't do anything like dirt tools etc).
Go to the Start menu, click 'run'(Windows XP) or search for 'run' and click that (windows Vista or 7)
type %appdata% and press enter
Open the folder .minecraft (you need to have played the game at least once)
Open the folder 'bin'
Extract minecraft.jar and minecraft.zip
put the classes and 'lang' folder from minecraft.zip into minecraft.jar and delete META-INF
Run the game!
for Mac:
Open finder
Click [your name] on the left
Click library, then application support, then minecraft
Open bin, right click minecraft.jar, and open with archive utility
un-zip minecraft.zip and put the classes and 'lang' folder into the newly created folder (from minecraft.jar), then delete META-INF
To turn folder into a .jar properly, click one of the classes and go Command+A to select everything
Right one of the classes and select 'Compress [830 or so] files'
Find 'Archive.zip' and drag it into the bin folder
Delete minecraft.jar, and rename archive.zip to minecraft.jar
You can delete the minecraft folder inside bin. Don't delete the minecraft folder inside application support!
Run the game!
Tell me what you think, or if you have any suggestions, tell me those too.
But if you are going to suggest something, don't ask me to add anything, I just want to change things, so newcomers who switch to normal don't suddenly miss out on something.
