No problem. I love to see that at least one person supports the mod and is helping contribute to the mod's development. If only more people were like you... *sigh*. But I will still keep any of your ideas in mind and I will try my best to make sure your my first appointed "tester" once the mod is in that state of development. If you are able to put your other ideas into words, please, let me know. I think I will start adding details of the mod into the OP, in a bit.
The idea is something I haven't thought of. And it certainly would add a different element to the mod. I will keep this idea in mind while we continue with the development of the mod.
You have Skype, or something similar? What's your time zone?
Sadly, I don't have Skype or anything, which will probably make things more difficult. Although as I'm researching it seems to be free, which is great if it is. I will make an update shortly. I think my time zone is Pacific time. I live near Los Angeles in California to be a bit more specific.
It's rare for me to find well thought-out ideas here, I'll admit. It's even more rare to find people so mature.
Take a look at the mods I've already done, and if you want me to work on it with/for you, let me know. I like this idea immensely.
I've seen that your in school as well. Although my situation in school differs a bit. I have been having some health issues recently (nothing dealing with obesity or anything of similar nature) and I am not able to go to school until I have at least found out what my problem is and have gone to several different doctors like a neurologist and get tests done like an MRI. So my time is freed up tremendously. I would be honored if you could help me with this mod, as I see you are well qualified, since you have some experience with dimensions and such.
THIS IS SO COOL MAN!! seriously it is!! what's better? hmmm if the creators of minecraft would acknowledge this and put it part of the game after finishing the end ... know what i'm saying here? like another series of steves adventure .. just thinking out loud here ... but dude your awesome and no i cant help you with modding or texturing and stuff like that ... but i'll have to say ... you got this one owned! Imma go follow this topic and see where it goes
I have decided to help dmillerw, the modder that is helping me, with the mod and start learning how to mod myself. This means I am going to learn coding, texturing, modeling, and all of the other aspects of modding. Although this is so, I am still looking for texture artists, modelers, etc., because we need people that are more familiar in these areas of expertise. If you wish to continue and read what this mod is about, then please feel free to do so and give some feedback if you wish. Thank you for reading in advance.
As I was looking at some mod ideas throughout this forum, none of them seemed to be quite what I had in mind. I was looking for a mod that had a simple goal in mind, but a complex way to reach that goal as well. Then I looked over at one of my tabs that had a video of Spelunky in it. For those of you that have played Spelunky you would probably know that there is an item in the game known as an ankh. That is the item that I would like to see modded into Minecraft.
To start off, the ankh, in reality, is the Egyptian symbol for life. There are a couple games that have implemented the ankh as an item, giving the player the ability to respawn upon death only once. Although my idea isn't just limited to just a simple ability.
Now about my idea. My idea is the simple goal of finding an ankh and allow the player to use it's abilities and perform various supernatural powers, such as simply allowing them to keep their items upon death or complete immortality. Immortality may be a bit too much, but it may be the overall game goal entirely for some people. Of course the ankh won't be limited to such few abilities, but these are the two that came to mind instantly.
There are a few catches to such amazing power though. It is not as simple as crafting an ankh with diamonds and gold and using a simple interface to get what ability you want. No. No. No. No. No. In order to get the ankh, you must find structures such as ancient Egyptian temples and lost shrines, discover what mysteries they hold, and even go to new dimensions to find items for the ankh and finally create it with some of the items you have discovered. But you still can't use it's supernatural powers. Not yet. In order to activate it's true potential, you must get it blessed by the Egyptian gods themselves and find a sacrificial room inside Egyptian temples and sacrifice items you find most valuable and special to you to the gods in order to prove you are worthy of using such an ancient and powerful tool. But your still not finished. In order to utilize it's powers you must go on a search, yet again, to find an ancient Egyptian tomb that holds the power of utilizing it's abilities. In order to use this tomb you must collect missing pages to this tomb. Once you found a few, you would be able to create a device that allows you to create missing pages by using different items that you have hopefully found and collected on your journey. Finding missing pages allows you to unlock the ankh's abilities. Some pages will be harder to find and these hard-to-discover pages will be used for the more powerful abilities the player can use. The ultimate goal for the player in their world would be complete immortality, although it would be optional.
As my signature says I am 14. I know for some people that may make them automatically turn away from this, but the whole point of me stating my age and gender is so that I don't give people the idea that I am some sort of 20 year old and think I led them to believe that and find me untrustworthy. Although I am 14, it doesn't mean that I don't have the mental maturity of someone much older than me. That being said, please don't treat me differently because of my age.
Details are finally here. I will be posting them bit by bit, at my leisure of course.
What my mod would hopefully have will be as follows. When you begin the mod your first goal will be to find an ancient Egyptian pyramid. Not the one currently implemented into Minecraft, but one that is more simple and resembles what a lot of people would think of when they hear the word "pyramid". When exploring this pyramid one must be cautious. There might be traps that you may not expect. The Egyptians seem to not want people other than themselves to enter and find what secrets it may hold.
More details may come, but as I was typing this it felt like I was going to give too much away at some point. So if some people could give some opinions on what I should do with the details than that would be great. Knowing that some people support my ideas is always a good feeling, but I don't know who supports them if people don't give some feedback. Take...the hint.
Wow. You really do listen to people's requests. This is the first time I have requested something and it actually being implemented into the mod itself. This made my day and days ahead. Thank you for putting my idea into the mod, really appreciate it. No wonder why you went silent for a few days.
great mod, you should add a bucket that holds UNLIMITED lava or water
and one that can hold lava and water at the same time, and it "dispences" the liquids in the opiste order you picked it up in
ie: picked: l,w,w,l,l; placed: l,l,w,w,l
w= water l=lava
But if people were to use a bucket with an infinite lava source, they could easily use a shimmering bucket with it and have a truly infinite source of experience.
I'm sorry to hear that. My idea was a flint and steel that can be recharged at any infinite water source. But I think you're both right because the flint and steel has 65 uses which provides far superior functionality to the 5 of the infernal bucket.
What if I upped it to 40 uses, which is just over half as many as the flint and steel, and made each water source block right clicked increase the charge by 20 instead of 1?
It was 5 uses for the Infernal Bucket? My bad. Anyway, how about instead of 40 uses it wold be 30 uses and instead of 20 uses per charge it would be 6? That way it still keeps the basic functionality of it needing 5 water source blocks to be fully charged. Of course you might have to change the recipe of it so it is not too overpowered. Perhaps you could consider my recipe? Of course the final decision is up to you. After all, you are the creator of this fantastic mod.
