In case you missed it DOWNLOAD MY MODS HERE

CodeChickenCore requires MinecraftForge. Get it at http://files.minecraftforge.net/

WR-CBE requires ForgeMulitpart, an opensource library for having multiple things in the one block space. Get it at http://files.minecraftforge.net/ForgeMultipart/

CodeChickenCore will automatically download a dependancy, CodeChickenLib, into your mods folder. Do not get spooked out.

All mods require CodeChickenCore.
All mods go in the mods folder.

All of my mods have source avaliable on either BitBucket https://bitbucket.org/ChickenBones or GitHub https://github.com/Chicken-Bones

Throwing CodeChickenCore (obfuscated or dev) into the /jars/mods folder of your mcp environment will enable you to throw any other obfuscated mod into your mods folder and play with it in your dev environment.
Yes this means you can test your mods with NEI in mcp just by throwing NEI and CCC into your mods folder.

Developing with my mods is now even easier. Simply download the dev package, put it in /jars/mods and link it in eclipse or whatever IDE you use. For recompilation, just put all the dev versions in /mcp/lib as well.

This is just a library of classes that all my mods use. You need to install this if you are going to install any of my mods.

Just throw this in the mods folder.

CodeChickenLib Formerly known as CodeChickenCore-Public, CodeChickenLib is a simple java library of utilities that I believe may be of use for other modders
The following public release contains some libraries that I believe may be of use to other modders.
It currently contains the following:

• Model library cable of importing obj files
• 3D transformation library
• Flexible and simple packet system
• Colour helper classes
• A few other misc helper functions

License
All source code in this package is provided to any modder under the following conditions.

1. The modder notifies me the first time they decide to use any code from this package in their mod.
2. All classes that are used must retain their original name and be MOVED to a DIFFERENT package containing "codechicken"
3. The modder may use as many or as few classes from this package and modify them as heavily as they wish.
4. Credit is displayed that the public can see. (You may or may not wish to include my name in your mcmod.info file)

Just move the classes you want to another package and include them in your mod, there will be no conficts or dependance on CCC if you put them in another package.

Other CodeChickenCore sources are released under the same conditions as above with the following exception: They need not retain their original names, and may be incorporated, in any modified partial form into your own classes. If they do retain their original names however, they must be repackaged so there are no conflicts.

If you want to make a mod that simply includes my version of CodeChickenCore as a dependancy (and don't want to package sources into your mod). Go ahead! There are no conditions on dependancies.

Source code may be found on the github
https://github.com/Chicken-Bones/CodeChickenLib
Releases may be found on the jenkins download page

Common Pitfalls My model renders like this: http://puu.sh/29Da9
Different 3D modelling programs export with different coordinate systems. Minecraft uses a another strange one. Commonly try passing a new YZSwap() to the coordinate system parameter of the object loader.

Differences\Enhancements

Detailed Information Recipe View
Recipe view contains 2 functions, Recipes and Usage. Pressing the recipe key (default R) or usage key (default U) while hovering over any item will take you into this mode. Once in recipe view clicking will bring up recipes and right clicking will show usages. The back recipe key (default BACKSPACE) can be used to go back to the last recipe and the Esc or Inventory key is used to exit.
Recipe view shows you all the ways to craft that item, be it with a Crafting Bench, Furnace, Brewing Stand or another custom crafting inventory (Eg Alloy Furnace from RP2).

Unlike Craft Guide when a recipe can be made using multiple types of the same item (Eg the different colours of wool or the different types of wood), the ingredients will cycle through the available subtypes. So the wool will change colour.

Usage mode shows you all the recipes that contain that Item.

And it shows shapeless recipes too.

The ? button will appear when the type of recipe matches the container you currently have opened. Eg. If you show shaped recipies while using a workbench.
Clicking on this button will return you to the main inventory wher you will see highlighted overlays in the slots prompting you of which items to put where.

Item Search Box
The Item Search Box is the black bordered rectangle at the bottom. Only items that contain the text in the Item Search field will be shown in the Item Pane. The search box must be clicked on to start typing. Right clicking on the search box will clear it instantly. It is not case sensitive. Any search terms will be saved and loaded when you restart minecraft.

The search box also supports wildcards * (any string of characters) and ? (any one character) as well as the complicated java.regex pattern matcher. As an example Bl?ck shows names containing Black and Block. Also ^Block would show items starting with block such as Block Breaker and block$ would show items ending with block such as noteblock or diamond block.

Item Subsets
The Item Subsets button is a dropdown menu containing many different grouped sets of items. Clicking on a set will show all the items it contains and right clicking will hide them all. Double clicking on a set will show only the items in that set.

Mods can use the API to generate their own tag sets.

Shift clicking on a set will type @setname into the search bar which will make the Item Pane show only items in that set.

If you rightclick on the Item Subsets button the buttons for saving subsets will appear. These function identically to the normal save states, renaming, save\load\delete, but they will save and load the items you have hidden and shown.

You can also add your own sets using the config file located in ".minecraft\config\NEISubsSet"
Enchantment Selector
By pressing the enchantment key (default X) you can bring up the enchantment selector gui. It allows you to put an item in the slot and select the enchantments and level that could be applied from an enchantment table. The level can go up to a maximum of X. Clicking on an enchantment toggles it on and off. (To prevent unnice bugs)The normal multiple enchantment conflict rules apply so you can't have fortune and silk touch together etc. Unfortunately due to space limitations some names have had to be shortened, Projectile to Proj, Protection to Protect, Bane of Arthropods to Arthropods. Enchantment names will only be shortened if there is not enough space. Eg Protection will be shortened to Protect if you set level 8 because VIII takes up a bit of space.

Trash
The trash can button functions in 4 ways. All operations apply both to your personal inventory and any inventory you may have opened (Eg a chest).
1. Click on it while holding an item it will delete the item you are holding.
2. Hold SHIFT while clicking on it with an item in your hand and it will delete all the items of that type in your inventory.
3. Hold SHIFT while clicking on it will clear your inventory.
4. Just clicking normally will toggle Trash Mode
Trash Mode
When trash mode is enabled any item you click on will be deleted. Holding SHIFT and clicking on any item will delete all items of that type.
Creative Mode
Clicking on the C button will toggle creative mode. This is self-explanatory. Simply change from creative to survival and back again. Note that on SMP servers this will change only you into creative mode and not the entire server.
Rain
Again another self-explanatory button, if it's raining right now this button will be enabled activated. Clicking it will change the rain to on or off.
Magnet Mode
The last of the toggle buttons. When magnet mode is enabled any items within a reasonable distance will pick themselves up and fly towards you. Items wont be attracted if they can't fit in your inventory though.

Utility Buttons
The 4 buttons with the sun and moon are time set buttons. They will set the time to Dawn, Noon, Dusk and Midnight when clicked. These will only advance time forward to not break machines relying on world time. So if you click the day button multiple times it will keep advancing the days.
The heart button will heal the player, fill the hunger bar and stop them burning if on fire.
Save States
There are 7 save states capable of saving your entire inventory and armour to disk. Right clicking on a state will let you rename it. The x Button appears next to loaded states will clear them. Save states are a global feature that can be transferred between worlds and even servers.

Options Menu
This is just the regular MC Style options configuration. It allows you to edit various settings and especially Key Bindings.

The first Button Toggles wether NEI is Enabled or not. If it's not enabled you wont be able to see anything except the options Button. The enabled state is separated for SMP and SSP.

The Cheat Mode button toggles between Cheat Mode and Recipe Mode. Recipe mode is for playing legit and just using the recipe book component. The save states and cheat buttons will disappear and the Item panel will not spawn items into your inventory.

Extra Cheats sets wether the Create, Rain, Magnet, Time and Heal buttons are to be shown.

Button Style switches between the default Minecraft Button Style obtained from your texture pack and the old school black box TMI style (showcased below)

Item IDs toggles whether to show the ID of the item in the tool tip. This will work for all items in your inventory as well as the panel.
This option will cycle between Shown, Auto and Hidden. Auto will show ID's only when NEI itself is shown and enabled.
This has the added use of showing you exactly how much damage a tool has sustainer. Eg the Sapphire Pickaxe below has taken 6 damage.

Save states merely sets weather or not to show the save states, self-explanitory.

If Item drops are disabled any EntityItems in the world will be deleted. So mining a block or dropping an item will give you nothing. Someone said they must have it for lag removal so I added it.

The KeyBindings all do what they say. Click on them and then press the key you want to change it to.

Mob Spawners
NEI makes all types of mob spawners obtainable in your inventory and place able. Any custom mobs you may have will also be assigned a spawner. The spawner item will show the entity inside of it just like the block. Hostile mobs will have Red names and Passive mobs Blue names. The bug in SMP where all mob spawners show pigs has also been fixed. Any users who have NEI installed (even if they are not Ops) on a server with NEI will be shown the correct mob.

Various Inv Tweaks
Ctrl clicking on any item in your inventory will give you more of it, just as if you clicked on it in the Item Pane. If you pick up an item and hold shift while placing it in a container then all items of that type you have in your inventory will also be put in alongside the placed item. Useful for transferring all your cobblestone to a chest in one go.
SMP
Everything that you can do in SSP can be done in SMP if the server has NEI installed. If not then NEI can still spawn items using the give command if you are an OP. Most of the features are only enabled for OPs.
Config
There are many options in NEI that can be configured in "config\NEI.cfg". Note that most of these are editable in the options menu.
Server Config
A configuration file will be generated in config\NEIServer.cfg containing various confiutation options for servers. The config file comments explain the functions. In short it allows you to assign certain functions to be used only by certain players. So you can select who can use OP enchantments etc. There is also a banned blocks section, any blocks that are banned wont show in a user's item panel. Bedrock is banned by default so connected users can't spawn bedrock, (unless you specify their name).

Extended API There is an extended API built in to NEI to allow mods to integrate properly. This is demonstrated with the RedPower module that provides Alloy Furnace recipes and RedPower specific subsets.

I am aware that there are many different crafting inventories out there. BTW's anvil, IC2 has a bunch etc. However I only use the Alloy Furnace from RedPower. Therefore I welcome modders who want to make small modules like the RedPower one for various other mods.

The source package should help guide modders through. NEI uses a modloader like config loading system. Simply call your configuration class NEI****Config.class and implement IConfigureNEI and package it with your mods. Any calls to NEI should be made from this class or subclasses. Your mod must not directly call any NEI functions or classes as that will make it dependant on NEI to function. Simply include the config and classes with your mod and it will be activated only if NEI is installed.

HELP! MOD X DOESN'T WORK!!! YOU CRASHED MINECRAFT!!
Ok, that's all well and good... and I'd even say that maybe 1/10 times this is my fault. In order for me to help you, however, I'll need some info that you most likely have. Use pastebin.com (or a paste service of your choice) to provide your full log file. If you are using ModLoader, the log file is /.minecraft/ModLoader.txt. If you are using Forge, the log file is /.minecraft/ForgeModLoader-client-0.log (for client) or /.minecraft/ForgeModLoader-server-0.log (for server). Some mods have a setting called allowDebugLogging which should be set to true before you post your log file. WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF GETTING A RESPONSE IS LOW.

I generally do not respond to PMs sent regarding modpack permissions (read the end of this thread and/or read the license) or help/support for any mods (you should post your issue/question on the thread so that anyone that knows the answer can respond). If you recently sent me a PM for either of those reasons, that's why you didn't get an answer.

8-Jun-2014 - Treecapitator 2.0.3 is now available! This release fixes a number of crashes and removes the special code that was in place for Multi-Mine as it's no longer needed.

FloatingRuins 1.7.2.r06 is out to fix the negative random number crash.

24-May-2014 - Treecapitator 2.0.2 is now available and resolves the server crash due to a GUI class reference.

23-May-2014 - New releases are out for all mods including bspkrsCore! The latest release of bspkrsCore is required for all the new releases.

The most notable release is Treecapitator 2.0! This release of Treecapitator adds a few awesome new features: auto tree detection and auto axe detection! That's right! No mucking around with the config file is needed to get trees and axes from other mods to work (provided the other mods are coded correctly). When you use an axe to try and chop a log of any kind Treecapitator will try to determine if the item you're using is an axe and whether the block you're breaking is a log (and also is part of a tree). If those conditions are met the axe will be registered as such, the tree will be registered as such, and all of that will be automagically added to your local config file! Neato!

As always, please report any issues you find with the new releases here.

Update: Treecapitator 2.0.1 fixes the crash when breaking a log with no item selected :3

25-Apr-2014 - New releases are out for bspkrsCore, FloatingRuins, and Treecapitator! bspkrsCore got more config GUI tweaks to make it more stable, FloatingRuins got a bit of optimization to lower the number of block update notifications being sent to the client, and Treecapitator got 1) config GUI stuff (not finished, but you can change settings in-game at least), 2) break speed code fixes :3, and 3) several new config options around item drops!

22-Apr-2014 - bspkrsCore 6.6 is out! This release fixes a SERIOUS bug in the code to get random mobs that would prevent certain entities from being able to spawn in your world! It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you update if you are using bspkrsCore 6.4 or 6.5! This release also adds more config GUI functionality.

21-Apr-2014 - bspkrsCore 6.5 is out to bring more stability to the Main Menu gimmick code with regard to crashes.

18-Apr-2014 - New releases are out for CrystalWing and FloatingRuins. These releases add config screens that are accessible from the Mods screen on the main menu. From the mods screen scroll to the entries for CrystalWing and FloatingRuins. Select one and click the Config button. You will be able to change any of the settings for these mods. Hover over the config setting names to get more info.

14-Apr-2014 - StartingInventory 1.7.2.r02 is now available! This release adds the ability to save/load items that require NBT data such as items from Tinker's Construct and many other advanced mods!

13-Apr-2014 - There is a new version of bspkrsCore out that supports the creation of in-game config GUIs. I have updated my HUD mods to support this, and will do the same for these mods soon. There were also a bunch of other changes, so let me know if you see any weird crashes with these mods and the new bspkrsCore.

28-Jan-2014 - FloatingRuins 1.7.2.r02 is now available. This release fixes the new shape code to generate the same shapes as before, and also fixes igloos having full snow blocks on their floors instead of the snow layer blocks.

20-Jan-2014 - Couple of things regarding the 1.7.2 releases:
1. There is an FML defect that causes mods that depend on other mods to not work. Delete mcmod.info from the .jar file using 7zip or a similar program as a temporary workaround.
2. Treecapitator WILL NOT WORK with your old config file. Block IDs do not exist in the same sense that they did in previous versions of Minecraft, so the config file is very different. Delete Treecapitator.cfg if it was generated under a previous version of Minecraft.

19-Jan-2014 - 1.7.2 updates are out for Treecapitator, CrystalWing, and StartingInventory. A working version of FloatingRuins is available, but I'm still tweaking some recently added code. As I mentioned in a previous news item I am no longer developing IngameInfo; I'm sure that Lunatrius will have his release out soon enough. BlockBreaker is most likely going to be dropped as there is a better implementation called Vein Miner by portablejim.

19-Dec-2013 - Treecapitator 1.6.4.r09 is now available. This release fixes NPEs when using MultiMine and also adds automatic MultiMine compatibility. Also, I am aware that the latest releases of BlockBreaker and FloatingRuins are not working with bspkrsCorev5.1.

Update: I have released FloatingRuins 1.6.4.r02, BlockBreaker 1.6.4.r03, and bspkrsCorev5.2. FloatingRuins got a lot of bug fixes and improvements (see change.log), BlockBreaker is switched over to the new Forge BreakEvent, and bspkrsCore has a new command /bs that shows the version check info for my mods.

18-Dec-2013 - Treecapitator 1.6.4.r08 is out to fix the crashes that people have been seeing (I just removed the new code instead of fixing it for now). I also fixed the bspkrsCore issue causing update notifications to spam incessantly during the one game session that they show. Be sure to grab bspkrsCorev5.1.

17-Dec-2013 - Treecapitator 1.6.4.r07 is out. This release adds a new config option treeHeightModifier to allow customization of the treeHeightDecidesBreakSpeed handling. I have also switched to using the new BreakEvent in Forge, so Treecapitator is no longer a coremod!

11-Dec-2013 - Lunatrius is taking over development of IngameInfo for me (his version is waaaay better anyway). He has graciously agreed to support both his proper XML format as well as the texty XMLish format that DaftPVF and I used. There are a few small differences in his text format handling vs mine, but it's for the better. Thusly, 1.6.4 will be the last MC version that I will release IngameInfo for. The existing downloads will still be available.

05-Nov-2013 - StartingInventory Forge 1.6.4.r03 is now available. This release fixes a bug with how the config file gets generated and hopefully resolves some reported timeout issues when players join a server with it installed.

27-Oct-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.4.r06 is out and fixes the issues with certain trees not working.

25-Oct-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.4.r05 is out. This release adds a new per-tree config setting that allows you to use the older top log logic if the new logic is failing to identify a tree that worked in previous versions. Add useAdvancedTopLogLogic=false to config tree sections that you're having trouble with (this will only fix the issue if the tree was working in a previous version of the mod and stopped working in 1.6.4.r04).

24-Oct-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.4.r04 is out (and tested). This release fixes an "exploit" that allows you to bypass the break speed settings on 2x2 jungle trees. The exact same code coincidentally also means Treecapitator is ready to take on the new tree structures in 1.7 whenever Forge is finally ready.

23-Oct-2013 - I've backported the new CrystalWing and StartingInventory Forge releases to 1.6.2 (use the All Releases download link) and released bspkrsCorev4.3 for 1.6.4 and 1.6.2 (fixes a potential mod ordering issue). If you plan to use the new CrystalWing or StartingInventory Forge releases for 1.6.2, be sure to update your 1.6.2 version of bspkrsCore to v4.3 as well!

21-Oct-2013 - bspkrsCorev4.2 is out and brings improvements to the ModVersionChecker class to prevent nagging when new versions come out (you'll only get a chat notification once when a new version is released).

18-Oct-2013 - Treecapitator Forge 1.6.4.r03 is out as a development build to help test an experimental Forge block break event! This release requires a specific build of Forge that can be downloaded here. The dev build WILL crash your game if you do not use the special build of Forge! Get the Treecapitator dev build here!

17-Oct-2013 - StartingInventory Forge 1.6.4.r02 is released! Aside from being the first Forge native release of StartingInventory, this release adds SMP compatibility and a new command /startinginv [save/load] to allow you to save your current inventory to the config file for easy setup of the items you want to receive upon starting a new world! Details on the /startinginv command can be found below in the More Info spoiler section for StartingInventory.

16-Oct-2013 - CrystalWing Forge 1.6.4.r04 is released to add a short cooldown that prevents double item use and new localizations. Have at it!

08-Oct-2013 - CrystalWing Forge 1.6.4.r03 is out to fix the duplicate stat ID crash, add a bunch of localizations, and include items in potential chest loot!

04-Oct-2013 - CrystalWing Forge 1.6.4.r02 is out! This is the first release of CrystalWing for Forge to allow for use on servers! Let me know of any issues you find.

03-Oct-2013 - IngameInfo 1.6.4.r04 is out and adds a keybinding of ALT + I to toggle the info display. The "I" is configurable on the controls menu. This release also tweaks the /igi command to be more permissive since it's a client command and doesn't affect actual gameplay.

30-Sep-2013 - IngameInfo 1.6.4.r03 is out to fix the item damage tags not returning 0 when the item is null. I have also back-ported this fix to IngameInfo 1.6.2.r05.

26-Sep-2013 - Please consider helping out a great cause and get some cool perks for it! http://www.extra-lif...icipantID=45410
It's for the kids!

23-Sep-2013 - IngameInfo 1.6.4.r02 is out to (hopefully) fix issues with displaying mod item damage values. I've also back-ported this release to 1.6.2 and 1.5.2. The latest bspkrsCore is required (v3.05).

21-Sep-2013 - Just released fixes for BlockBreaker and Treecapitator. I was rushing to get the updates out and completely skipped the class transformer stuff...

20-Sep-2013 - 1.6.4 updates are out for all mods!

11-Sep-2013 - IngameInfo 1.6.2.r03 is out with two new tags: <itemquantity[id(,metadata)]> and . The new release required changes to bspkrsCore, so be sure to grab the latest release!

9-Sep-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.2.r05 is released with two new config options for overriding mod config settings: blockIDBlacklist and itemIDBlacklist. These settings allow you to easily override config settings defined by mods themselves via IMC that are not present in your config file. FloatingRuins 1.6.2.r03 is officially released with a fix for derpy charged creeper code and some other tweaks.

29-Aug-2013 - FloatingRuins 1.6.2.r03 is out with a fix for skeletons not having any weapons and with new code to allow wolves to be able to spawn in igloo dungeons.

24-Aug-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.2.r04 is out to fix a rare null pointer exception that was reported. BlockBreaker 1.6.2.r02 is also out and adds several new features: item damage, better mod block drops support, a new option to have items drop in place, a dirty fix that makes redstone work, and support for Forge 830+ (many thanks to stranger1029 for coding some of the new stuff).

19-Aug-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.2.r03 is out. This release resolves the crash issues with the latest Forge builds as well as a derp on my part that was messing up the break speed settings. This is also the first official release of the new Ore Dictionary scanning code to automatically register tree-related blocks that are not already configured.

7-Aug-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.6.2.r02 is out as a dev build. This release adds a new feature to scan the Forge Ore Dictionary for tree-related blocks that are not registered with TreeCapitator.

17-Jul-2013 - IngameInfo 1.6.2.r02 is out. This release adds several new tags around what the player is currently looking at, a command that covers various functions, and a fix for the various item tags when used with items that have been renamed.

15-Jul-2013 - CrystalWing 1.6.2.r03 is out and finally works correctly with ModLoader. FloatingRuings 1.6.2.r02 fixes some structure generation stuff with villages.

10-Jul-2013 - I've uploaded 1.6.2 releases for all mods. They are found in the Latest release folders. They are completely untested!

9-Jul-2013 - New releases are out for everything except CrystalWing. Notable fixes include proper block textures for TreeCapitator ML, better break speed handling in TreeCapitator Forge, and some shared code fixes that affect all mods. Recent TreeCapitator changes have also been retrofitted to 1.5.2.r014.

Change logs for all mods are now on GitHub in each mod's repo.

7-Jul-2013 - The duplicate mod issue is resolved in Forge build 775 for 1.6.1. All mods now go in the mods folder again (as of Forge build 763). I'm working on the texture issues with several mods.

5-Jul-2013 - Everything is updated for 1.6.1 except CrystalWing (texture issues).

28-Jun-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r13 is now released! If you haven't been playing with the dev builds here's the gist of what you've been missing:
- Nearly complete rewrite.
- Forge config is completely redone (sounds like a lot of people understand it better).
- Some config elements can be set on a per-tree basis as well as global defaults (see new config).
- The FML IMC system is now utilized to allow other mods to provide their own tree/item configurations. You can configure the priority of user (config file) vs. mod (IMC) configs for cases when a mod is configured both in the config file and by the mod itself via IMC.
- Enchantment mode is now available (yes, it is optional).
- The break speed of log blocks is determined by the height of the tree it belongs to. If you don't like it, set treeHeightDecidesBreakSpeed=false in your config.
- Lots of bug fixes for both existing code and new features.

bspkrsCore v2.09(1.5.2) is also out to hopefully fix the issue where some people have their config file revert every time they run the game.

15-Jun-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r12 dev build is out. IIRC there are a few new mod configs, but the main change is to fix a null pointer exception when your axe breaks with enableEnchantmentMode=true.

10-Jun-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r11 dev build is now available. NOTE: this release changes the default logic for calculating the log break speed. The break speed is now (by default) tied directly to the height of the tree. Small trees will see a small increase in the time to break the block. Large trees will have a large increase in the time to break the block. As an example, in my testing I made a 68 block tall tree. It took about 51 seconds to chop the log block to make the tree fall. The config setting to enable/disable this feature is called treeHeightDecidesBreakSpeed.

Update: I totally forgot to release a new bspkrsCore last night to support the new feature... that's fixed now. bspkrsCorev2.08 is out to support the TreeCapitator development build.

Notes about the TreeCapitator development build:
- The config file is completely redone... you should either delete or rename your existing config.
- The config file should be easier to figure out (I guess we'll see).
- If you spent a lot of time configuring trees in the old format, never fear! The new format isn't drastically different as far as the actual values you need to provide, it just lays out the values in a way that makes more sense, so converting your existing config to the new format isn't too hard (I have decided against "supporting" old config formats as it makes the mod code very messy and harder to maintain). I will provide more details on this.
- There are now config elements that can be set on a per-tree basis as well as global defaults (see new config).
- There are new config elements!
- The FML IMC system is now used to allow other mods to provide their own tree/item configurations. You can configure the priority of user (config file) vs. mod (IMC) configs for cases when a mod is configured both in the config file and by the mod itself via IMC.
- Enchantment mode is now available (yes, it is optional).
- In-game adding of trees is not coded yet. It may not make this release.

NOTE: If you have played using a previous development build and want to get the new/updated default mod configs, you'll have to either delete your config file or remove the "tree_and_mod_configs" config section completely to get TreeCapitator to re-populate it!

05-Jun-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r10 dev build is now available. This release fixes the BoP default config and a few other small things.

31-May-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r09 dev build is now available. This release fixes the erroneous client chat message about the .jar file being in the wrong place.

30-May-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r07 dev build is now available. Along with it is an official release of bspkrsCorev2.07 for 1.5.2. This build fixes the weird issue with Natura trees (actually had nothing to do with spaces in config names and everything to do with the number of trees) and beefs up the Forestry and Natura default configs. Have at it! I'm feeling pretty good about this build...

Update: TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r08 dev build is out to resolve the derped Twilight Forest default config as well as beef it up some with more trees. Also added Railcraft and Applied Energistics configs for axes since someone sent them to me.

28-May-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r06 dev build is now available. This build adds a bunch of updated and new default configs (BoP, DivineRPG, EBXL, Forestry, IC2, MFReloaded, Mekanism, Natura, RP2, Tinkers Construct, Thaumcraft, and TwilightForest), adds comments explaining the config (I need feedback on this), and fixes up the config file ordering.

27-May-2013 - TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r05 dev build is now available to resolve the NPE issues people were having with IC2 rubber trees. Thanks for all the defect reports!

25-May-2013 - Thanks for using the TreeCapitator dev build and submitting your issues! Earlier I released 1.5.2.r03 to fix the config reverting, and I'm about to release 1.5.2.r04 to fix several more issues. Keep the reports coming in!

24-May-2013 - bspkrsCore v2.05(1.5.2), BlockBreaker 1.5.2.r02, and FloatingRuins 1.5.2.r02 are out! These releases are necessary due to changes in bspkrsCore for the upcoming TreeCapitator release which required a LOT of changes. Speaking of which, a preliminary development build of TreeCapitator 1.5.2.r02 is now available! Check out the Dev download link below.

10-May-2013 - Since it's taking me longer than I'd like to finish up my changes in TreeCapitator, I've gone ahead and recompiled the last 1.5.1 tag for 1.5.2. Downloads are live.

Update: bspkrsCore v2.04 is out to fix the server crash with the latest TreeCapitator.

3-May-2013 - 1.5.2 updates are out for bspkrsCore, BlockBreaker, CrystalWing, FloatingRuins, IngameInfo, and StartingInventory. TreeCapitator is in the middle of a major overhaul, but it won't be far behind.

24-Apr-2013 - IngameInfo 1.5.1.r02 is out to address an issue caused by mods that do not clean up their texture bindings. It also includes a new config file handler, but most people probably don't notice any difference

12-Apr-2013 - I am apparently having The Worst Luck^TM this week with hosting providers. All links are updated and should be working now... I will add a permanent mirror for all links later today.

9-Apr-2013 - I have released a new version of bspkrsCore for 1.5.1 and 1.4.7 to address the update check timeouts issue. This release also incorporates a number of other changes including a super secret feature (don't ask, I'm not telling). You will notice that mod_bspkrsCore.cfg is no longer used; mod_bspkrsCore.bsprop.cfg is used instead. This is due to features that I've been slowly working on that are partially being released early as part of this defect release.

Update: bspkrsCorev2.02 is out for 1.5.1 and 1.4.7 to fix the crash when using it on a server.

8-Apr-2013 - I have gotten the file downloads setup on a new VPS, so the links should be working now. I will update them again once DNS propagates.

7-Apr-2013 - Apparently my VPS is down, and so my download pages as well. You can try here for now until DropBox arbitrarily decides to cut me off again.

23-Mar-2013 - 1.5.1 updates are released!

Update - I have re-ordered the list of files for bspkrsCore to avoid further confusion. Also, one of the reasons this release took longer than usual to get out is because I was busy making automated build scripts for all these mods so that anyone can pull the Github repos and run Ant to build the mod zips/jars. Since I was using a new build process, I couldn't release the mods without fully testing them (believe me, you'd all be very upset if I hadn't). I'll provide instructions on how to run the build scripts soon (it's really very easy, and requires no coding knowledge as long as the code is up-to-date).

15-Mar-2013 - 1.5 updates are live on the download site! In addition to updating to 1.5 I've also included a number of defect fixes. Details will follow tomorrow (I'm tired).

UPDATE: Looks like I goofed something in the TreeCapitator Forge release (same in BlockBreaker). I'll get it fixed and rerelease ASAP.

UPDATE 2: Ok, I've resolved the issues with TreeCapitator Forge and BlockBreaker. The fix required changes to bspkrsCore (which was fudged anyway) as well as the other 2 mods. You'll have to redownload bspkrsCore as well as TreeCapitator if you ran into this issue.

UPDATE 3: Fixed derp in BlockBreaker version info (was still reporting that the 1.4.7 version is available) and released CrystalWing 1.5.0.r02 to fix derp in burned wing. Phew!

10-Mar-2013 - bspkrsCorev1.02 is out to fix a defect in shared code. Details are in the changelog.

23-Feb-2013 - I've just been notified that my DropBox links are generating too much traffic and are disabled. I'm looking into another way to provide downloads. I've been able to figure out another solution. Download links should work now.

20-Feb-2013 - All mods now require bspkrsCore to be installed! This should resolve the issues people were seeing with methods being not found. NOTE: if you want to turn off the update checks for my mods, you will now set it in mod_bspkrsCore.cfg, not in the config file for the mods.

13-Feb-2013 - FloatingRuins ML/Forge 1.4.6.r05 is out to fix the infinite loop bug when entering dimensions where the void is exposed. Also fixes the dimensionIDBlacklist feature, which wasn't working properly.

05-Feb-2013 - Fixed the client-side chat messages for TreeCapitator and BlockBreaker and added some new features/options for FloatingRuins. Have at it.

31-Jan-2013 - Fixed a few issues and released BlockBreaker Forge 1.4.6.r02. Also pushed FloatingRuins ML/Forge 1.4.6.r03 and TreeCapitator ML/Forge 1.4.6.r05 to make them compatible with BlockBreaker. TreeCapitator ML is now all caught up to the Forge version as far as new config settings.

30-Jan-2013 - I've spent a few days rewriting most of ConnectedDestruction and am pleased to present the newly renamed BlockBreaker Forge 1.4.6.r01 for your chain reaction block breaking pleasure. It contains the basic functionality from the last available version of ConnectedDestruction. I will be rewriting the config for the next major version, but this should suffice for now. StartingInventory ML 1.4.6.r03 is also out and finally allows items to be added directly to the player's inventory again.

27-Jan-2013 - I just posted TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.6.r04 under dev downloads. Fixed a few default configs, added a few new default configs, and added ID Resolver support. Full change log to come.

24-Jan-2013 - IngameInfo 1.4.6.r02 is out with a minor compatibility fix due to a vanilla bug. TreeCapitator 1.4.6.r04 and FloatingRuins 1.4.6.r02 are expected to be out soon.

10-Jan-2013 - Status update: I have tested TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.6.r03 on Forge 6.6.0.497 for 1.4.7 and it appears to be working fine. At this time I am promoting 1.4.6.r03 from the dev builds folder to latest. I am working hard on 1.4.6.r04 to add default configs for several more mods and a solution for those that need to use ID Resolver for mods to play nice.

02-Jan-2013 - Happy New Year! Status update: been working on an update for TreeCapitator. I've entered the testing phase, so hopefully I can get it out soon.

Also, the 1.4.6 versions should work with 1.4.7. Let me know if you find otherwise.

23-Dec-2012 - 1.4.6 updates are out. Let me know of any issues.

Update: I have fixed the issue with TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.6.r01. Just download it again... I'm too tired of updates to bump the version again.

23-Dec-2012 - TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.5.r05 is out! This is a major update on top of the previous major update. I fixed several issues that shipped in 1.4.5.r04 and made the config more flexible, although slightly more complicated. Basically, now the mod will work without any config changes necessary for the following mods: ExtrabiomesXL, Forestry, IC2, Thaumcraft, Twilight Forest, and Zap Apples. You just have to tell TreeCapitator how to find the appropriate properties from other mods' config files. I will be adding more mods to the default list in the hopes that eventually just about all mods that add trees will just work without the need to edit the block config stuff.

If you don't like the new config, that's just too bad. I put a TON of work into the default config to make it work with a lot of big-name mods out of the box. Yes, it is more complicated than it used to be, but the complication comes with benefits: robust default config, ability to define trees however you want, option to use strict log/leaf block pairing, and a lot more examples. I've also included a debugging option that defaults to true for now to help both you and me figure out what went wrong.

19-Dec-2012 - It's finally ready to go: TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.5.r04 is out! This is a major update. The config file has been completely redone. Block metadata is fully supported. Several popular mods are configured by default (using default block IDs). SMP is less glitchy. Custom remote config lists are configurable. Basically, it's way better!

FloatingRuins Forge 1.4.5.r03 is also out! This release brings one new island shape and a lot of improvements to dungeons such as a hardness setting, spawners support more mobs, and a few other surprizes. Check it out with a fresh config!

12-Dec-2012 - I've been hard at work on new versions of TreeCapitator and FloatingRuins. Code is probably about 85% complete for TreeCapitator to add support for block metadata in the config, a proper SMP solution to prevent glitches if you play on a server without TC installed, and a number of other improvements. FloatingRuins users will see a number of major improvements: at least one new island shape (cone, maybe one other if I can make it look nice), support for additional mob spawner types (charged creepers, pig zombies, wither skeletons, witches, and maybe a few surprises), and a new "harderDungeons" option that will make dungeons harder to conquer (bedrock roof, chest is better protected, harder mobs to fight).

NOTE: These new features are mostly coded, but not released yet. I just thought I'd give a status update. I hope to release them soon.

30-Nov-2012 - TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.5.r03 is out to address the issue with block hardness settings not being applied correctly.

23-Nov-2012 - TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.5.r02 and FloatingRuins Forge 1.4.5.r02 are out to resolve the server-side crashes.

Update: I have retrofitted the latest changes into TreeCapitator Forge 1.3.2.r09 and TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.2.r04. TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.5.r02 should work for 1.4.4 as well. Remember to remove any TreeCapitator related zip files from your .minecraft/mods folder and put the new .jar file in the coremods folder.

21-Nov-2012 - 1.4.5 releases are out for TreeCapitator ML, FloatingRuins ML/Forge, IngameInfo, StartingInventory, and CrystalWing.

TreeCapitator Forge 1.4.5.r01 is a bit more than just an update to MC 1.4.5... it's an upgrade in the form of a Forge CoreMod. With this update you will now be able to define a list of any block IDs you want to be able to TreeCapitate (checkout the logIDList setting in your config). This does not require a special axe and it is not specific to some subset of blocks. You can now enter any log block ID and any tool item ID into your config and all combinations of the two will work. You can even enter non log blocks, although it will still try to figure out if it's a tree or not... (hmm... idea). The day has arrived!

20-Nov-2012 - StartingInventory 1.4.4.r02 is out to fix the silly mistake in handling the config file that would cause it to overwrite your custom config every time... *derp*

18-Nov-2012 - TreeCapitator EBXL Addon 1.4.4.r01 is out! Should fix the issue with trees grown from saplings having their leaves start to decay right away.

Update: there was a mistake in the mcmod.info file for the EBXL Addon for TreeCapitator that is fixed now. If you are seeing a classNotFound error when you try to run it, you can either remove "[1.4.4]" from the beginning of the filename or redownload the mod to get the fix.

14-Nov-2012 - I completely forgot to mention that the config files for IngameInfo and StartingInventory have been moved from /mods/daftpvf/ to /config//.

13-Nov-2012 - Releases for MC 1.4.4 are out for TreeCapitator, FloatingRuins, IngameInfo, StartingInventory, and CrystalWing.

05-Nov-2012 - Be sure to check out WorldStateCheckpoints, my fork of MightyPork's Checkpoints Backup Mod. It allows you to make save points in your SP worlds! An essential tool for any Minecrafter!

03-Nov-2012 - Many people have been reporting that the EBXL addon is crashing MC. It turns out if the mods are loaded by Forge in the wrong order it can cause this issue. I have released TreeCapitator Addon EBXL 1.4.2.r02 to address this. It now properly identifies itself as being dependent on EBXL and TreeCapitator and so should be loaded after they are both loaded.

02-Nov-2012 - TreeCapitator ML/FML 1.4.2.r03, IngameInfo 1.4.2.r02, FloatingRuins ML 1.4.2.r01a, and CrystalWing 1.4.2.r02 are out to address some tick registration issues with Forge when using the ModLoader version mods. TreeCapitator 1.4.2.r03 also includes a fix for the shears not taking damage in Forge due to a change they make in the ItemShears class.

I've also reorganized all of my downloads. Let me know what you think!

29-Oct-2012 - TreeCapitator ML/FML 1.4.2.r02, TreeCapitator ExtraBiomesXL Addon 1.4.2.r01, FloatingRuins ML 1.4.2.r01, CrystalWing 1.4.2.r01, and StartingInventory 1.4.2.r01 are out! TreeCapitator 1.4.2.r02 has a fix for the issue of crashing the game if your shears break while chopping trees, and I was able to fix the CrystalWing sounds.

I've also decided to discontinue support for SlimeBoots and SlimeChestplate (if that wasn't already obvious). If anyone wants the source code for those mods, let me know.

26-Oct-2012 - TreeCapitator FML 1.4.2.r01, FloatingRuins FML 1.4.2.r01, and IngameInfo 1.4.2.r01 are out! TreeCapitator 1.4.2.r01 is functionally the same as 1.3.2.r08. FloatingRuins 1.4.2.r01 contains new code to handle moving chests when they are picked up in an island. IngameInfo 1.4.2.r01 contains some code refactoring and small fixes. Since IngameInfo was compiled using Forge, I may need to put out another release when Risugami releases ModLoader if there are any mod breaking changes. I haven't added any new content from 1.4.2 into the mods (for instance, new mobs for the ruins spawners), but I will make sure it's in the next release. Let me know if you notice anything weird with these releases.

25-Oct-2012 - I have MCP and Forge all setup for 1.4.2, so I should have some mods released for 1.4.2 later tonight or tomorrow.

16-Oct-2012 - TreeCapitator Addon EBXL 1.3.2.r02 is out to fix the blank item names for the logs.

15-Oct-2012 - TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r08 is a minor update to the TreeBlockBreaker class (the pseudo-API). However, TreeCapitator Addon IC2 1.3.2.r01 and TreeCapitator Addon EBXL 1.3.2.r01 are brand spanking new! They mostly work as expected, although I did see some weird issues with the EBXL addon where leaf blocks from other trees would start to decay after chopping down one tree... so you might want to try them out in a test world before deciding that you are comfortable using them in a world you are heavily invested in. Always take a backup!

I will be releasing TreeCapitator addon mods to support other mod's trees on a mod-by-mod basis. You can request support for a mod's trees by entering an enhancement request. Be sure to search existing issues first to see if it's already been requested. If it hasn't, please provide the name of the mod and include a link to the mod's website, MCF thread, or github repo.

13-Oct-2012 - I've just finished putting together TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r07. This release is heavily refactored to make addons for other mods much easier. I also changed the way axes receive damage (had to remove the damageMultiplier) so that IC2 items should work properly now. In the process I found and fixed a number of bugs related to creative mode and the block hardness setting.

08-Oct-2012 - I've added just about all the code for all the mods I work on to github. Feel free to see how all this stuff works underneath.

06-Oct-2012 - Retrofits! I've taken the latest 1.3.2 versions of FloatingRuins, IngameInfo, and TreeCapitator and magically turned out FloatingRuins 1.2.5.r01, IngameInfo 1.2.5.r01, and TreeCapitator 1.2.5.r01! The 1.2.5 download links can be found below the current downloads section.

05-Oct-2012 - TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r06 is a minor defect release to prevent a ring of leaves being left behind in the rare case of chopping a bush-style tree that is only 1 wood block surrounded by leaves. Thanks to RyanFialcowitz for helping me track it down. Last version bump for TreeCapitator for at least a week, I promise

04-Oct-2012 - Lots of updates and fixes in IngameInfo 1.3.2.r01! Notable changes: new tags for , (time until rain), <snowing[ ]="">, , and a bunch for text formatting, added format parameters for <mctime[]> and <rltime[]>, fixed <raining[ ]="">, fixed a major issue with all middle alignments, added new config options for x and y screen offsets, and refactored a lot of the code.

New releases are out for TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r05 (ML/FML) and FloatingRuins 1.3.2.r03 (ML/FML) to maintain compatibility with IngameInfo.

02-Oct-2012 - StartingInventory 1.3.2.r01 is out! This release removes the shoddy workaround of using server commands to give the player items. Instead now the mod will either place a chest and populate it or hijack the bonus chest and repopulate that. If you set useBonusChest=true in your config, keep in mind that you must also set the bonus chest option to ON when creating a new world.

01-Oct-2012 - Well, after 3 release attempts there were still several small issues that should now be resolved. TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r04 addresses the issue of a ring of leaf blocks remaining when chopping down smaller trees and item damage not being applied correctly when needItem = false. Sorry for the rapid re-release... it's hard to find all the issues when you are both developer and QA.

30-Sep-2012 - Ok, third release attempt (kept finding issues). TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r03 adds options for allowing item damage per log/leaf block, a switch for reversing the action for chopping when sneaking, and a setting for the maximum distance to destroy logs. More details on the new options are in the TreeCapitator section below. I recommend reading up on the default settings to avoid surprises with the new features.

NOTE: the new config setting allowItemDamage is enabled by default and allowMoreBlocksThanDamage is disabled by default. This means that if you use a wooden axe to chop a jungle tree, the tree isn't going to be chopped completely with the default settings. This is intentional to provide a default config that is not completely overpowered.

28-Sep-2012 - It's been a busy week... just completed the underlying code for Item Damage in TreeCapitator along with some other compatibility features. Should get it out by later tonight or tomorrow (looks like it will be Sunday).

19-Sep-2012 - FloatingRuins 1.3.2.r02 is out. This release addresses some subtle ruins generation issues, adds in the blockIDBlacklist for FML, and adds code to handle the spawner properly if an island happens to be generated on top of a vanilla dungeon. I recommend trying it out with rarity set to 44 on one of the following test seeds: 5460896710218081688, 1470679938 (large biomes map type, island with vanilla spawner inside it at 188, 360 if your baseRadius and radiusVariation settings are set to 8).

19-Sep-2012 - Apparently a fix I put in my mod version checker class to handle not being connected to the internet was full of failure, so I've updated all the downloads that use it with a truly fixed version of the class. I decided not to bump the version numbers for a fix to the version checking code because I didn't want to totally spam everyone over something small like that. Nevertheless, if you like to play without an internet connection be sure to download the latest version (again, if you already have) to avoid game crashing fun.

18-Sep-2012 - If you are using TreeCapitator FML 1.3.2.r02 and are seeing the update message, you can either 1) download it again, 2) edit mcmod.info to change 1.3.2.r01 to 1.3.2.r02, or 3) delete mcmod.info from the zip file. I totally forgot to update mcmod.info... should be fixed now.

Edit: I've also noticed that the new ruins generation code can make some ugly boxes underneath the island if it is thin... I will push out a fix for this soon.

17-Sep-2012 - FloatingRuins 1.3.2.r01 is out for ModLoader, ModLoaderMP Server, and Forge universal (tested with Forge 4.1.1.251)! In addition to being the first Forge release of this mod the update brings a few new features: option to disable in Superflat worlds, options for island radius and island depth (thickness), and a block ID blacklist. This release also saw a ton of code refactoring and some subtle improvements to the way the ruins are generated. I recommend using a fresh config file as there are a lot of new config elements. Details on them will be added soon (out of time ATM).

Edit: I just released new versions of TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r02 to maintain compatibility with the latest FloatingRuins (they share some common classes).

Edit 2: My dumb ass forgot to add in the block ID blacklist in the config file section for FML... it is only configured to ignore bedrock by default, so I'll be sure to push out a fix for that soon (the blacklist is working, it's just not configurable).

12-Sep-2012 - TreeCapitator 1.3.2.r01 is out for ModLoader, ModLoaderMP Server, and Forge universal (tested with Forge 4.1.1.251)! There are no significant new features in this release, but the underlying structure of the mod has changed dramatically to make future updates a lot easier to manage from my end. The actual TreeCapitator code is now exactly the same for all three versions which is why I changed the version numbering scheme. Upcoming features: configurable tiers of block breaking based on tool material, options to have damage applied to tools based on the number of blocks broken, and a tweak to the leaf breaking code to make the shearVines option independent of the shearLeaves option (for people like me that have no use for sheared leaves but do like vines).

This mod allows you to chop down an entire tree (leaves and all) by harvesting one of its logs. Based on Terraria tree-cutting style.

Features (see .minecraft/config/TreeCapitator.cfg for details):
- Forge version can break any log out of the box (fo' relz)
- NEW - change settings in-game from the Mods list config button!
- Sneak while chopping to break logs normally (configurable)
- Treecapitation Enchantment mode available.
- The break speed of log blocks is determined by the height of the tree it belongs to. If you don't like it, set treeHeightDecidesBreakSpeed=false in your config.
- Configurable list of tool IDs to determine what an "axe" is
- optional item damage based on number of logs broken (defaults to enabled)
- optional increasing item damage per block broken (off by default)
- Smart tree-detection (configurable)
- option to destroy leaves (enabled by default)
- option to shear leaves (with a shear-type item in hotbar)
- option to shear vines (with a shear-type item in hotbar)
- NEW - ability to stack drops!
- disable drops in creative
- disable tool requirement
- The FML IMC system is now utilized to allow other mods to provide their own tree/item configurations. You can configure the priority of user (config file) vs. mod (IMC) configs for cases when a mod is configured both in the config file and by the mod itself via IMC.
- mod version checking (never miss a new feature)

Want to know how much score you have without having to die?
In need of real time information like weather, light level or your world size as you explore?
Then this mod is for you!

Ingame Info adds the ability to add lines of information to your in-game screen.
All you must do is run the game once, exit out, check for a file named ingameInfo.txt in the .minecraft/config/IngameInfo/ folder (.minecraft/mods/daftpvf/ in releases before 1.4.4.r01), and edit it adding whatever you want!

The "igi" command can be used to reload the format file and enable/disable the display of the info text. (new in 1.6.2.r02)
Usage:

/igi [reload/enable/disable/toggle]

Thanks DonkeyPanic!

Crystal Wing

With this enchanted wing, you'll be able to teleport back to your spawn point!

recipe:


While helpful on the normal world, using it on the nether may burn it...

Burning Wing

This will continuously burn the player that holds it in their inventory, so THROW THIS BIATCH AWAY!

..Or try soaking it!

Burned Wing

This is the broken version of the Crystal Wing. When the player tries to use it, they, eh... get lost.

Forge Config file (.minecraft/config/FloatingRuins.cfg):
No longer necessary to edit this file manually! From the Mods list in-game select the entry for FloatingRuins and click the Config button!

This mod gives you items and blocks each time you start a new world, just by editing a .txt file.


The file can be found at
.minecraft/config/StartingInventory/startingInventory.txt (.minecraft/mods/daftpvf/startingInventory.txt in releases before 1.4.4.r01).

How to configure the items you start with:

The Easy Method:
1. Start a new world in Creative mode.
2. Using the Creative Inventory (or NEI) add the items you want to start new worlds with to your player's inventory (only the 36 main inventory slots are supported, armor slots are ignored).
3. Once you have populated your inventory with the items you want, close your inventory and execute this command: /startinginv save
4. You will receive a message confirming that your current items have been saved to the config file.
5. To test that your file is saved correctly, clear your inventory and execute this command: /startinginv load
6. The items you saved using /startinginv save will be placed in your inventory.

NOTE: The command /startinginv load will clear your current inventory before adding the configured items.

The Older/Harder Method:

IDs for mod items and blocks are also accepted.

All the ids can be found here.

BlockBreaker allows you to define a list of blocks that will break in a chain reaction when an adjacent block of the same type is broken.

MultiMine users: you MUST add the log block IDs you are using in BlockBreaker to the MultiMine block exclusion list found in AS_MultiMine.cfg. Otherwise BlockBreaker will not work.
