Update (01-01-2018):

For those who do not know yet. The mod is currently being ported to 1.12 here:

All info below if for the older 1.7.10 version.

Update (24-10-2016):

A new version for 1.10.2 is in the making! The entire mod is being rewritten using the new Minecraft code as reference. It should make the mod a lot more stable and customizable. Progress and test versions are posted on the WIP thread: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/wip-mods/2188456-primitive-mobs-update-progress-suggestions-thread

Hello Everyone!

I'm Daveyx0, a minecraft modder that loves to add new mobs into the game, and I present to you: Primitive Mobs.

Primitive Mobs is a mod that adds a variety of clever mobs, either fully original, inspired by other game franchises or brought back from outdated mods. It initially started as a project to revive KodaichiZero's amazing mods, but I soon found that I wanted to add some mobs of my own. I decided to go for mobs that feel simular to the original feeling of the game. Although the name is questionable, it is the reason why I went for Primitive Mobs and I like it. Now, this post will go over all the features that this mod offers. Please take your time to investigate, as I did my best to try and ensure that information is displayed in a clear way. Also take in mind that if you dislike a mob, you can disable it through the mod's configuration files. Open the spoilers to see the information. Thanks and enjoy!

Prepare for a long list ^^

Docile:

Details:
--------------------------
These are basically the same as all other Testificates. The only difference is that they spawn randomly in the world the way animals do. They will not despawn like any other testificate. However because they walk around randomly in your world, they don't have a place to hide from zombies. They trade random stuff as they choose random trade items from all testificate classes.

Same health as any other testificate: 20.
They don't drop anything.

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: river, forest, plains, forestHills, extremeHills, desert , Location: Above ground.

Extra:
If another mod adds items to the Testificate trading item list, this fellow will also choose from those items.

Details:
--------------------------
These don't act like normal Testificates apart from the fact that they are scared of zombies. You can't trade with them and they only appear underground. When you find one, it will follow you around while crying for help (crying particles). You can choose to leave it to die or bring him back to the surface (above y = 60) to make him happy. When on the surface, right-click it for your emerald reward (between 1 and 6 emeralds)! You can only help every Lost Miner once.

Same health as any other testificate: 20.
They don't drop anything.

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Underground (below y = 60)

Extra:
Zombies love to attack these guys, making the chance of the player finding a testificate zombie way higher.

Details:
--------------------------
Well, these guys are quite weird aren't they? This is what happens when a villager spends his life ripping off players.... they turn into sheepman and go to hell. Lovely. So these guys are doomed to roam the Nether but they still love shiny things! The only shiny thing to be found in the Nether is.... gold nuggets (from zombie pigman). They combine them into gold ingots and trade with those. How they got the other stuff? Magic. Anyway this makes trading with them way more profitable than with villagers. These guys will follow you around when you hold a gold nugget. They run away from zombie pigmen though.They actually despawn like mobs so....give them a free gold block to make them not-despawn! Then lure them through a portal or make them a house and they will not despawn so you can always trade! Also they obviously make sheep noises and are immune to fire :3

Same health as any other testificate: 20.
They don't drop anything.

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: Nether , Location: Everywhere

Extra:
It's a great Gold Sink!

Bugs:
- They can still change into testificate zombies when killed by a zombie.

Details:
--------------------------
That looks heavy doesn't it? These guys are like Sheepman however they do not trade like normal. They love smithing and keep doing it even in the Nether. Because they travel around a lot they take their anvil with them. How did they get it? Again... magic!You can repair your tools for specific payment of gold nuggets. If you don't have enough gold nuggets he will emit "disapproval" particles and not repair. The specific costs are below. Just right-click him with the damaged tool, then he will repair it and automatically take the payment. Like the sheepman you can make them follow using a gold block and giving them one for free will make them not-despawn. However they are rarer than normal Sheepman.



Same health as any other testificate: 20.
They don't drop anything.

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: Nether , Location: Everywhere, Extra: Rare

Extra:
It's a great Gold Sink!

Bugs:
- Don't rapid click him when repairing!! It can result into double cost for some reason!
- They can still change into testificate zombies when killed by a zombie.

(This one is NEW!)

Details:
--------------------------
Check out this neat little critter. At least.... if you can find one. These are chameleons and they change color depending on what block they stand on or in. Have fun experimenting with them!

Health: 10
Drops: Camouflage Dye (not 100%)

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: plains, forests and jungles , Location: Above ground

Extra:
You can tame them with a watermelon (check out the Pets section).

---------------------------------
Hostile:
---------------------------------

Details:
--------------------------
The Haunted Tool is an enemy mob. They attack any player on sight.
Haunted Tools come in different appearences. They can spawn as a pickaxe, an axe, a shovel or a sword. This is randomly decided. However they also come in different tiers which correspond to the Minecraft tool materials. They can spawn as a wooden, a stone, an iron, a gold or a diamond tool. Different factor depend on their tier.
Here is a list:

1 Strength = 0.5 heart damage without armor

Wooden Tools: Strength: 1, Health: 10
Stone Tools: Strength: 2, Health: 20
Gold Tools Strength: 5, Health: 5
Iron/Steel Tools: Strength: 3, Health: 30


Diamond Tools: Strength: 4, Health: 50

Here is a rarity table for the tools. There is a very rare variant called the Precious Pickaxe. Take a look at the items section to see what it does!
Tier Rarity Table:
Wood Tool - 35%
Stone Tool - 30%
Gold Tool - 20%
Iron Tool - 10%
Diamond Tool - 4,75%
Precious Pickaxe - 0,25%

When killed, they drop themselves of course 100%. This makes finding a diamond tool worth killing it.



Spawn Time: Nighttime above ground, any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Above ground and underground.

Extra:
These are actual floating items, meaning that these are texture pack compatible!

Details:
--------------------------
Whenever you find a chest in a mineshaft, you are overjoyed! Untill now... now you can never be sure anymore... Mimics are chest-like enemies which spawn in caves. They will appear as normal chests. When the player right-clicks them, what will happen is a mystery. Is it an actual chest, a booby trap or an evil mimic chest? Find out!

Health: 20
Strength: 2
Drops: 1 Chest 100%

Here is a list of all possible outcomes when right-clicking a mimic when encountered:
Turns into a:
A chest with actual dungeon loot - 2%
A chest with skeleton related loot and spawns a Skeleton Warrior - 5%
A chest with tool-crafting related loot and spawns a Haunted Tool - 8%
A chest that explodes! - 9%
A chest with bad loot and spawns some bats - 10%
A zombie with a chest on its head - 20%
A mimic chest mob - 45%
A mimic ender chest mob with increased strength and which drops an ender chest - 1%

Spawn Time: Any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Underground (below y = 40)

Extra:
Their loot takes the item directly from the Mineshaft loot list. So if any other mod would add items to that, they would also appear in these chests!
Also their in-game name is Mimic Chest so it doesn't interfere with other mods hopefully.
You can disable the feature of it changing into a chest for adventure map use.

Details:
--------------------------
This is probably the main attraction of this mod. They are cute, colorful and awesome! They act and look the same as any other slime though. Treasure Slimes have a specific item in them. When killed they will drop this item. Large slimes almost always have something different then a slimeball in them. A medium slime has a bigger chance of getting a slimeball, while a small slime will always contain a slimeball. There is a large variety of items that the slime can contain. The colour and emitted particles depend on that item.

Health: Depends on size
Strength: Depends on size
Drops: The contained item

Apart from the normal Slime spawn locations:
Spawn Time: Any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Underground (below y = 40)

Item Rarity table:

Heart (Tameable) - 15%
Slimeball - 6%
Cookie - 6%
Enderpearl - 6%
Glowstone dust - 6%
Gold ingot - 6%
Gunpowder - 6%
Iron ingot - 6%
Redstone dust - 6%
Blaze Powder - 6%
Lapis Lazuli - 6%
Snowball - 6%
Magma Cream - 3%
Cake - 3%
Diamond - 3%
Emerald - 2%
Golden Apple - 2%
Fire Charge - 2%
Eye of Ender - 2%
Music Disc (any) - 1%
Saddle - 1%

Extra:
Tameable and colourable slime!
If you spot a White slime with a heart in it that keeps following you without actually damaging you, make sure to right-click! It will pop on your head and then it is tamed!! See the pet section for more info!

Remember KodaichiZero?
He/She made one of the best mob mods out there, however Kodaichi has abandoned some of his/her mods when new Minecraft updates arrived. I decided to update some of his/her classics. Check below for credits.

So here they are:

Original Topic: http://www.minecraft...er-families-v5/
Details:
--------------------------
Mother Spider:
Mother Spiders spawn with 0-6 baby spiders. They are quite strong and will do anything to protect their children. A Mother Spider will attack players on sight or when one of her babies is being attacked. One baby spider will always be on her back.

Health: 20
Strength: 4
Drops: The normal spider drops or rarely a Spider Egg

Spawn Time: Nighttime above ground, any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Above ground and underground.

Baby Spider:

Baby spiders only spawn with a Mother Spider. They will follow their mother around everywhere. They don't attack players unless provoked. When their mother is being attacked, they will attack the attacker to protect her. When attacking they emit smoke particles out of anger. When the Mother Spider dies, they cry (crying particles) and will wander around aimlessly. However they will still attack when provoked.

Health: 10
Strength: 2
Drops: the normal spider drops

Extra:
Baby Spiders can be tamed!!
Mother Spiders rarely drop Spider Eggs.
Spider Eggs can be used to spawn a Baby Spider! This baby spider will then see you as its mother! See the pets section for more information!

Original Topic: http://www.minecraft...ers-beta-11-02/
Details:
--------------------------
These little buggers form a new threat to every Minecrafter. Not only do they explode like normal creepers, they do it in a more devious way. They approach the player and JUMP UP into the sky. When they land they explode! The jump makes it possible to evade however in a cave... there might not be enough space to jump so instant explosion! Miners beware...

Health: 15
Increased Speed!
Drops: TNT (not 100%)

Don't worry they are rarer than normal creepers.

Spawn Time: Nighttime above ground, any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Above ground and underground.

Extra:
Like other creepers, these take the no-griefing setting of a server into consideration.

Original Topic: http://www.minecraft...ers-beta-11-02/
Details:
--------------------------
You thought rocket creepers were dangerous? Think again. These guys are sure to ruin your day. While they look so innocent, they are sure to give you an unpleasent welcome present in the form of Primed TNT! When attacking, they throw TNT when the player is further away. However when the player approaches, they run away instead of throwing. So it is best to just barge in and attack up close! Watch out though, they leave a trail of fire to protect themselves when running. When below 5 health they go berserk and start throwing TNT even when you are close! On top of this all, they are immune to fire and explosions O_o Good luck!

Health: 25
Drops: Flint & Steel (not 100%)

Don't worry they are way rarer than normal creepers.

Spawn Time: Nighttime above ground, any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Above ground and underground.

Extra:
Like other creepers, these take the no-griefing setting of a server into consideration.
Festive Creepers will not throw additional TNT when you get inside a house.

Original Topic: http://www.minecraft...rain-slimes-v6/

Details:
--------------------------
These little suckers jump around beaches. They are like little parasites as they will grab onto the player's head when approached! Then they start sucking your brainzz like zombies!! Punch them to remove them from your head! Larger slimes are more dangerous.

Health: Depends on size
Strength: Depends on size
Drops: Pink slime balls

Spawn Time: Any time of the day, Biomes: beach, ocean, river, Location: Above ground on Sand or Gravel blocks

Extra:
They have a brain-sucking animation when on a player's head.

Here continue the mobs originally created by me:

Details:
--------------------------
When approached they actually act like normal creepers. That is... when they are alone.These guys act like supporters for other mobs. When there is another hostile mob close, they will follow it and add the following potion buffs to that mob: Strength 1, Fire Resistance 1 and Speed 1. When that mob is destroyed they will choose another mob when one is close, so make sure to get rid of them. When supporting a creeper while a player approaches, it will add another buff to the creeper.... IT WILL SUMMON A LIGHTING BOLT TO CHARGE IT! On top of that, it slows down nearby player by giving them a slowness potion effect. Without a mob to support, it will act like a normal creeper. So be on your guard.

Health: 30
Drops: Fire Charge (not 100%)

Don't worry they are rarer than normal creepers.

Spawn Time: Nighttime above ground, any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Above ground and underground.

Extra:
Like other creepers, these take the no-griefing setting of a server into consideration.

Details:
--------------------------
They look slightly different from normal skeletons and are always prepared for sunlight. You will always find these guys wearing a leather helmet. If you look closely they have a sword on their back, with a reason. When further away they shoot arrows using their bow like any other skeleton. However when the player gets close to strike, they quickly switch to their sword! Also notice that they will back up when you get closer. When the player gets further away again, they grab their bow again! Smart little fellows.

Health: 20
Drops: Bones, arrows and equipment (not 100%)

Spawn Time: Nighttime above ground, any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Above ground and underground.

Extra:
They can get enchanted equipment.

Details:
--------------------------
These mysterious floating books are long forgotten pieces of work. They now roam the worlds without any purpose. When encountered they don't attack the player instantly. Only when provoked they attack. They are pretty easy to defeat and on defeat they drop a randomly enchanted book! All enchanted books are within the limits of the original miecraft enchantments.

Health:20
Drops: Enchanted Book

High level enchantments are more rare however all enchantment types have equal chances of getting dropped.

Level rarity table:
Level 1 - 40%
Level 2 - 30%
Level 3 - 15%
Level 4 - 10%
Level 5 - 5%

Spawn Time: Any time underground, Biomes: all biomes , Location: Underground below y = 30

Extra:
They can get enchanted equipment.
NBT edit should enable you to specify the drop.

(Redesigned)

Details:
--------------------------
These evil villagers have learned the dark art of summoning and are not hesitant to use it against a player. They will spawn skull minions to fight for him and while doing so he will try to get as far away from the player as possible. He prefers his minions fighting for him. The skull minions come in a variety of colors and will have a variety of attacks: a red minions sets you on fire, a green minion poisons youa and a blue minions snags your weapon and drops it! So watch out for these fellows.

Health:20
Drops: Skull Minions Orbs and very rarely a Mystery Egg

They are about as rare as witches

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: All Biomes , Location: Above ground

(This one is NEW!)

Details:
--------------------------
The Blaze's brought their new friends! These mobs are no joke. They charge in as soon as they see you. They move with small rush attacks making them zig-zag a bit. Also, this makes them harder to hit with a bow, so watch out! Don't let them tackle you or you catch fire.... Good luck!

Health: 20
Increased Strength!
Drops: Blaze powder (0-3)

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: Nether , Location: Everywhere

(This one is NEW!)

Details:
--------------------------
These mobs are exclusive to swamp biomes, they pretend to be a lily pad but then when something gets close.. CHOMP! They can't see what's on top of their lily pad so you can still jump on them, just don't fall into the water or they will get you. They won't attack their own kind, but especially squids are not safe.

Health: 12
Drops: Lilypad and Balls of tar

Spawn Time: Any time, Biomes: Swamps , Location: In the water

Extra:
Using shears on the lily pad still works >:D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just recently started working on this again. Currently trying out some stuff. Might stabilize 1.10 release and move all new features over to 1.12.1 release, which is going pretty smoothly so far.

Hey Davey, this still planned?

Hey everyone, I recently got a new job and am still getting into my new routine, will continue work on the alpha soon. "Please understand"

Quote from BobMowzie»

Popped PM into my dev workspace

This looks amazing. Those models are top notch! This seems like one of those must-haves when it comes out. Good luck with the development, guys!

Quote from BobMowzie»

Awesome! So excited to use Primitive Mobs again!

Stable version of the mod for 1.7.10 is available at: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1287666-primitive-mobs-v1-0-updated-09-28-14-its-back

This thread is now used for test builds for future versions and suggestions.
Please, leave suggestions for the mod, they will be listed below for future reference.

Update (30-10-2016):

An alpha version for 1.10.2 has been released! Lots of WIP stuff but there are some features that I need tested early on, so I do not create more issues in the long run. 10 mobs are included so far.

Forge 1.10.2-12.18.1.2095 or higher required.

Java 8 or higher required.

Download link: Primitive Mobs v1.1 alpha

The mod will be available on Curseforge once finished.

Current content:

(Want to know the details on some of the mobs? Check the link at the top)

- Added configuration file which can be edited through the mods list in the main menu. It allows you to add new haunted tool, treasure slime and filch lizard loot. Examples are given in the menu. If you want to know the name of a specific item in Minecraft. Simply enable debug in the settings, tame a white treasure slime with a slimeball and right-click on it with that item, it will then show the modname, itemname and meta data. Weight = how common an item is. More options soon (like spawn settings).

- Chameleon is updated and works more reliably thanks to the BlockStates. Should not crash your game anymore no matter what block, but testing will probably prove me wrong ;P. Already confirmed to work with Forge Multipart and Chisel blocks. Please test on any block you can think of Tameable with melon, follows and sits. Spawns on plains. Drops camouflage dye using a loottable.

- Treasure Slime has been rewritten and now changes color depending on the item inside. It allows me and players to easily add items to its treasure pool using the configuration file. This means that Treasure Slimes can spawn with items from other mods if set in the config. The item inside is also rendered in 3d now.

- If a treasure slime is white and empty it can be tamed with a slimeball. The tamed Treasure Slime no longer changes color depending on how much dyes you feed it. You can instead simply put an item inside of it by right-clicking and it will change to the color of that item. It does not follow or sit yet.

- NEW MOB Grove Sprite (at least if you did not play the alpha for v1.1 for 1.7.10). It is still very WIP but it already chooses its colors and held sapling depending on the tree it spawns near to (including trees from mods). It also follows a player who is holding the same sapling or bonemeal. No other features yet, although they are WAY more stable now (they were causing lag before). Spawns in forests. Has custom sounds.

- Bewitched Tome updated, it is pretty much the same as before. Killing it will yield you a random enchanted book. Spawns underground.

- Haunted Tools are updated. Similar to the Treasure Slime, you will be able to add new kinds of tools from other mods into the pool it chooses from. Its health is now based on the tool's durability,the damage output is based on the tool's attack damage and movement speed is based on the tool's attack speed. This means that diamond tools are actually very dangerous, so I made all Haunted Tools passive agressive (meaning they only attack back when you attack them). In order to keep things "fair", there is a maximum health, speed and damage cap. Let me know what you think. Spawns like mobs.

- Festive Creeper updated, they now throw smaller tnt blocks which do less damage and take the mobGriefing setting into account. Powered festive creepers throw stronger tnt. Spawns like mobs.

- Support Creeper updated, they now only go for a mob that is not supported yet. Spawns like mobs.

- Rocket Creeper updated, they work exactly the same as before, but do not tumble around when not attacking anymore. Spawns like mobs.

- Brain Slime updated, can now stack on top of entities. Also damages helmets when an entity they attack wears one. Hopefully it all works correctly. It only attacks players and untameable animals, but you can shove it onto any creature that is not undead (like with a Minecart). Let me know if it causes issues. Spawns on beaches.

- Camouflage armor is updated and now shows stats in the tooltip. Crafted with camouflage dye and leather armor pieces. Put the armor piece in the crafting inventory again to toggle the camouflage ability. More features soon.

- NEW MOB Filch Lizard added! Steals shiny items from the player, which items can be edited in the config menu. Also has a chance to spawn with one of those items. Smacking it will make it drop its item and panic. After some time it will try to steal again. Will also grab the item from the ground if present. More features will be added. Spawns in deserts.

- The mobs now correctly use the DataWatcher and NBT system to sync variables to the client and save them when quiting.

- All entity renders now use the Layer system.

- Disclaimer: no loot for most mobs yet. Everything is subject to change. Back up your saves before testing!! Crashes might happen, if so, please send me the error log (PM or in a spoiler in a post below).

Plans for full release:

- Update all old content (including v1.1 stuff, although I might remove Sheepers Creepers mobs as they dont fit the mod well)

- Make more universal TamedEntity methods

- Smoothen animations

- Brain Slime Block

- Atmospheric mobs (hint)

- Give the player specific benefits when wearing the Camouflage armor.

- Correctly implement WorldGen.

- Add configuration options for pretty much everything.

- Much more!

What about the 1.7.10 version? Will you keep that updated with the new content?

- Sadly, no. I decided to fully invest my time into updating to 1.10.2. Having to downgrade back to 1.7.10 would simply be too much work and ineffecient. I do apologize if you were looking forward for a more stable release.

Older test version for 1.7.10 v1.1(unstable, disable all that crashes your world in the config, it will not be fixed for now):

So much has been changed which means that I probably forgot a bunch of stuff. Information on the new mobs will be available as soon as I set up a wiki. Anyway, Enjoy playing!

Quote from SatansCamero»

i have some experience building structures for mods... perhaps you could accept my help? i can send you a superflat world save or a .schematic file...

Quote from darkraptor6»

Mmmh i have testing this for 5 minutes and i didn't see any bugs or problem , just a question do you think add the troll ? ;D

Yay! Thanks for testing! A troll will indeed be added. Not Firehazurds version though, instead my own one.

Quote from Vexterowski»

I know and ok. Here is my idea. New structure "docks" and here would Fisherman Villagers which would fishing.:)

Not a bad idea, but I'm not that good with structures I would love to add new villager houses though.

Quote from The_cataclysm»

I think I found a bug, if a slime has a tool in it, it will clip through the slime since it renders bigger.

Ah yes of course, at least it does not cause any major problems, but it does look strange. I think I know how to fix that Thanks for testing!

I’ve stopped developing this mod for 2 reasons:

1 - I'm done with Minecraft, having played it since alpha 1.1.2_01. I've experienced everything this game has to offer. Since Minecraft was released (end of beta) it has become way too diluted for its simple outset. Almost everything that has been released since is just content and no new gameplay experiences. Every time I play I get irritated by the amount of lost potential and it makes me want to create a complete overhaul mod, though I simply don’t see that happening.

2 - The community. The immature, the trolls, the griefers, etc. This community is full of them and they’re ruining it for the rest of us. Now I get it, I like to let loose and have a laugh every once in a while myself. But the amount of stupidity on display is just cringe worthy. The signal to noise ratio is too low and finding good quality content is difficult.

Is this the end for Advanced Hud?

Update: Maxpowa is now developing the mod.
No. As of this post Advanced Hud is public domain, meaning it’s yours to do with as you wish. I won’t release the source though, as I’d rather have someone experienced working on the mod. Also my code shouldn’t be used as training material as it contains a ton of bad habits. Hurry up though, as I’ll be taking the downloads offline next month (June 30th)

please read the FAQ before posting or sending me a pm!
DO NOT ASK FOR UPDATES! It is against the rules. I am working on the update. I don't know when it's done. Advanced Hud will let you personalize your heads-up display. It is a mod that is entirely focused on esthetics and customizability while not adding or changing any game mechanics. Every hud item has its own menu with it's own set of parameters allowing you to set each hud item as you see fit. One of the key features of the mod is that you can reposition the hud items to anywhere on the screen. On top of that Advanced Hud adds 3 new hud items: a lightmeter, a minimap (beta) and a death counter (for livestreaming, etc) and it is ever expanding with new features being added every update. The writer of this page just blatantly copied the description from the advanced hud topic and was to lazy to even read what it said. Shame on him.
To use the mod press H (default) to open the HUD menu






read this before posting or sending me a pm
Q1: Your mod does not work on my computer, it crashes the game or it won't show the settings menu.
A: Please check how to install the mod again (and use multiMC this time, no really).
Try removing other mods that change stuff to the hud.
Report the crash (with log) or incompatibility (also check the notes in the incompatibilities section) in this topic.
Please keep in mind that there's nothing that can tick me off more than someone saying the mod doesn't work and not providing any other information (in short).

Q2: Is it possible to mod the hud from mod X/Y
A: No, the way java works and (to my knowledge) the lack of a decent hud api means that adding hud items from other mods is a lot of effort for little reward.

Q3: Can you make the inventory screen movable
A: No, this mod is strictly HUD only. Making the inventory screen movable will add a lot of incompatibilities.

Q4: Can I add your mod to my modpack?
A: I do not allow my mod in modpacks, because modpacks take time update all the mods in them. This will create a backlog where people will ask about problems in old versions, while those versions are no longer supported. And I'm not willing to waste my time fixing problems with older versions of the mod or having to take another step asking people what version of the mod they have. EDIT: No means no, asking your users not to ask for help with older versions is not how the internet works. Could you please stop messaging me.

Q5: Does your mod work in multiplayer?
A: Everything that is changed is pure client side, so yes.







Advanced Hud 4.8.1 for Minecraft 1.4.7- Added the item tooltips hud item. I've applied my own coding to this one, so it's not the exact same as Mojang's; It won't appear every time the item takes damage and it will use the item's rarity color.
- Added a scroll bar to the settings menu as the mod now has 16 hud items which can't fit in a 3 * 5 grid anymore.

you can find older versions in version history below.







I strongly recommend you use multiMC for installing mods
- Install modloader or forge (forge 3.3.7 and up)
- place the advancedHUD zip file in the mods folder (make the folder if it's not there).



Note: this list is old. The mods listed here might not be incompatible anymore.
- The thirst mod - disables Advanced HUD when installed
- CJB's mods - disables Advanced HUD when installed
- VR-ChatMod v062 - causes a crash when you click a link in the chat.
- More Health Enhanced - Overwrites base classes.
- What's my Light Level - Overwrites base classes, while it should be using a modloader hook.
- Village Info - Overwrites base classes, while it should be using a modloader hook.
- Rei's minimap - place the Rei's minimap zip file in the mods folder. Don't install it in the jar.

Mods that change the hud are highly likely to be incompatible with this mod.
If you find any conflicts with the current version and other mods, that are not on this list, please report them in this thread.

Common Errors

/*
Q. Block Texture of leaves and logs are white!!!
A. Go to Minecraft's main menu and click the texture pack you are using, or if you are not using a texture pack, click "Default", even if it is already selected. Click done and start your game.

Q. MC crashes when I use picks on blocks!
A. Reinstall ScotTools

Q. Error: No more empty terrain indices left!
A. You have too many mods that add new textures (mostly caused by NetherCraft)

Q. Error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ItemCustomAxe/ItemCustomPickaxe/ItemCustomSpade/etc.
A. You did not install ScotTools!

Q. I have Itemsprite API and forge installed, my textures are screwy!
A. Forge and Itemsprite API both modify the same base classes to do the same things, however the game will still load. Just dont install them together.

Q. CHESTS ARE BUGGED! FIX PL0X!
A. They aren't bugged. Due to technical issues, the colored chests were removed, instead of adding several block IDs for each color of the chests.

Q. How does i get old versions?
A. Around the top left of any of the downloads, there should be a link labelled 'browse scokeev9's other shared files'. Click that, then browse for the version you want!

Q. Please use forge in your mods!
A. Currently there aren't solid plans to convert to Forge, although pwnedgod has released some compatibility patches for Forge.*/

ScotTools API v14.1 - 1.3.2

Description
This mod enables all tools, especially pickaxes, to mine with the correct block-break speed. Basically, this will fix ores from mods so pickaxes will break the ore quicker with better pickaxes. For example, IndustrialCraft (mod author: Alblaka) adds new ores that take an unreasonable amount of time to break (this is an outdated example; this is prior to MCForge versions of IC) and won't break quicker when you upgrade your pickaxe. ScotTools was made to fix this issue without requiring the modder to use the API. It also includes certain API features pertaining to tools and weapons that would usually cause an incompatibility. This mod is coded to be as compatible, simple, and useful as possible.

For Modders
Please note that using the source code for MCP is not necessary, since you can simply decompile a minecraft.jar with ModLoader and ScotTools installed and it'll remove the class files of ScotTools from being outputted into the reobf folder. If you do use the source code in the src folder, the class files from ScotTools will be outputted into the reobf folder. I ask that you please do not release ScotTools with your mod, and instead, link to this thread for users to download the most up-to-date version. Thank you in advance!

/*
==USING TOOLMATERIAL.CLASS==
Introduction of Using the ScotTools API
"Imagine ToolMaterial variables as though they were tool classes found in EnumToolMaterial.
Next, look at each of the variables used to create these tool classes and compare them with the
variables found in ToolMaterial.
This idea may benefit you when coding with ScotTools, since you have the ability to compare your
variables with 'vanilla' Minecraft tools."

-public static ToolMaterial magicTools; //initializes the variable to be used//
-magicTools = (new ToolMaterial(1, 208, 6.5F, 1)); //states what class file to initialize and states the parameters of the class//
-1 //harvest level//
-208 //durability//
-6.5F //rate of efficient block-breaking//
-1 //damageVsEntity of a sword against entities//
-10 //enchantability ^1//

TOOLS
Use these parameters when declaring your item: First, an int variable (or a non-variable number) which will be the ID of the item. The final parameter is a ToolMaterial variable (e.g. (new ToolMaterial(
ItemTool(int id, ToolMaterial toolmaterial) //Reference ToolMaterial.java in the source if you are still uncertain about the class's usage//

==CUSTOM TOOLS vs. MATERIALS==
MAGIC MACHETE
-extends ItemTool //create a new item class to override the method getStrVsBlock ^2 ^3//
-magicMacheteID //item ID//
-0 //type of tool (Shovel: 1, Pick: 2, Axe: 3, Other: 0)//
-magicTools //ToolMaterial variable containing the tool stats//

==CUSTOM TOOLS vs. BLOCKS==
MAGICSANDSHOVEL
-extends ItemTool //^3//
-magicSandShovelID //item ID//
-1 //type of tool (Shovel: 1, Pick: 2, Axe: 3, Other: 0)//
-magicTools //ToolMaterial variable containing the tool stats//

==HARVESTING LEVELS==
obisidian requires 3
diamond, gold, redstone requires 2+
iron, lapis lazuli requires 1+
stone and iron requires any pickaxe

==ADDING BLOCKS WITH HARVESTING LEVELS==
ScotTools.AddBlocks(Block block[], int i);
-block[] //blocks you would like to add to a specified level//
-int i //harvesting level of the block(s) determining whether a block is harvested//
You may declare multiple blocks in one "ScotTools.AddBlocks" method
Example:
ScotTools.AddBlocks(new Block[] { elementBlock, Block.stone }, 2);
ScotTools.AddBlocks(Block.cobblestone, 1);
Note: The harvesting level (int i) for this method cannot exceed 6, but upon request, I can increase this limit further. Do NOT use 0 as the int parameter, since it will just cause an error.

*/Notes/*
^1 - Enchantments
a) I haven't thoroughly tested the ToolMaterial enchantability variable, so I'm uncertain if it works properly. If it does, please send me a PM explaining the results. Thank you.
 Check the EnumToolMaterial source file for an idea of what to put as the value. The original values are set by default to the following: Wood: 15, Stone: 5, Iron: 14, Diamond: 10, Gold: 22.
^2 - Planned feature to choose either a) a Material that returns efficiency,   an array of Block variables, or c) one Block variable. */

ScotTools enables new tools to be created, using custom durability, speed, etc., without editing any class files. All tools, whether vanilla or from a mod, will break blocks from other mods correctly, even if they don't use this API! Also, if your mod adds a new tool into the game that MUST use a custom class file (e.g. ItemSilverPickaxe), you may use my source code with your tools, to give them the same functionality as this API (or you may simply extend ItemPickaxe/ItemSpade/etc without overriding getStrVsBlock). You only need to do this for tools that have special abilites, not for basic tools with custom mining speed and durability, etc. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to send me a PM.
Next, you can also set a block-harvest requirement, like that of iron ore (it requires stone or higher pickaxes). The harvesting level for blocks can be set up to 6 (diamond pickaxes are 3), so you may add new ores that can only be mined with your tools.
You can also use ScotTools to declare tool classes, similar to the way the EnumToolMaterial class works, but without editing the class. Just simply create a new ToolMaterial variable using the constructor as a guide, or view the examples in the spoiler above. This simplifies the creation of custom tools.

Changed vanilla blocks to register with ScotTools when either a) another mod uses ScotTools.AddBlocks (occurs during mod initialization or   a player uses a pickaxe on any block (only occurs once per a game session). Also, I have not tested the enchantment aspects with ScotTools, so any bugs pertaining to this should be reported. Added a debug feature that states the block name, ID, and the harvesting level in errortest.bat-type logs.
v12.0 SSP - Changed some aspects of ScotTools: ItemCustomTool/ToolType has been merged with the vanilla class file.

ItemSprite API v4.0 - 1.0.0

Description
ItemSpriteAPI greatly increases the item sprite limit from 256 up to 2560 without a mod using the API. Also, it will make the use of ModLoader's 'item sprite overrides' obselete by enabling a modder to create new items.png files. The API is fairly small and only modifies three mostly unused files, ItemRenderer, RenderItem, and TextureFX. Note: This mod may conflict with HD textures. If anyone has made a merged class file, please send me a PM. I will give credit to whomever makes the patch.

Terrain Sprites!
Check out my tutorial for creating a ModLoader mod that does NOT use terrain sprites!
Here's the link: http://goo.gl/MhQGX

Examples for Modders In Spoiler

public class mod_RegenOres extends BaseMod

public mod_RegenOres()
{
ironNugget = (new ItemTexture(ironNuggetID, "/regen-ores/items.png")).setIconCoord(12,2).setItemName("ironNugget");
goldNugget = (new ItemTexture(goldNuggetID, "/regen-ores/items.png")).setItemName("ironNugget");
goldNugget.iconIndex = 43;
//Note that the ironNugget is in place of the iron door, and goldNugget is in place of the wooden door if these items were using the original /gui/items.png file.
//Also, note that changing your mod's code is obsolete, because v4.0 introduces an increased item-sprite limit (increased from 256 to 2560) that works whenever ModLoader.addOverride is used for item textures. This does NOT affect terrain sprites.
}
}
/*
===ITEMS THAT USE DIFFERENT ITEMS.PNGS===
It is extremely easy to create an item that will use a new items.png-type image file with ItemSprite API. Simply use 'ItemTexture', and declare the path of the items.png-type file, then use '.setIconCoord(int i, int j)' to declare the position on the file. You may also use the 'blockIndexInTexture' method to declare the position, as seen with the goldNugget. Using this method will NOT use any item sprites, meaning you can have unlimited* numbers of items.

* - Here, unlimited means 32,000, the max item limit.

===IMPLEMENTING IITEMTEXTURE TO CUSTOM ITEM FILES===
In this example, I will show you how to convert an Item file to use the same method as ItemCT.
Here is the custom Item file that we are dealing with:*/
1. public class ItemHoe extends Item
2. implements IItemTexture
3. {
4. public ItemHoe(int i, EnumToolMaterial enumtoolmaterial)
5. {
6. super(i);
7. maxStackSize = 1;
8. setMaxDamage(enumtoolmaterial.getMaxUses());
9. }
10.
11. public String getTextureFile()
12. {
13. return "/regen-ores/items.png";
14. }
15.}
/*
As you can see, I am using a modified ItemHoe (removed some code so it isn't as lengthy). Notice line #2, and notice the 'getTextureFile()' method (line #11-14) as well. This is all you must add to create a custom item that will use a custom items.png-type file!

RegenOres v5.0 - 1.3.2

Video Explanation and Demonstration
Thank you piedudeaus!

Description
RegenOres has a very basic idea. You break an ore, and it will come back after a while (20-50 minutes, usually). There is a small chance that the ore will completely break, and will not regenerate. This WILL work for added ores (since v2.0 through a config file), and it will work for vanilla ores. The amount of time, though, is completely random, but in general, regeneration takes longer for rare ores. Also, you will get 'Nuggets' of iron and gold, instead of the actual block, so these ores cannot be duplicated for an infinite supply of these materials. You need to smelt these items to use them for tools or armor.
Here is an outline of what happens:
1. A block of cobble will reappear in place of an ore.
2. If you don't see a block of cobble, the source block has run out of ore.
3. At the next stage of regeneration, a block of smooth stone will appear.
4. Finally, the ore will regenerate in place of the old ore block.

Works with ores from mods!
Use the configuration file (/.minecraft/config/RegenOres.cfg) to add mod's ores to be regenerated. These ores will only drop one of the itemID, and will regenerate in about the same time as gold ore. You *must* add the item ID along with the block ID in the same 'slot'. Use the values in the config file that are already there to figure out exactly how to use it. Note: Item IDs are not above 256, they start at 0, so if you use TMI to find the item ID of the item dropped from the mod's ore, be sure to subtract 256 from the item ID.

Pictures
This is the beginning frame, with lots of coal and some redstone.

The cobblestone you see are actually 'source' blocks. Destroy these, and no more ore will reappear.

After a couple of minutes, the ores will begin to 'grow' back!

Auto-Mod is a small utility that will allow you to install multiple mods or a single mod on Windows computers with one click! Auto-Mod will create a backup of your minecraft.jar file if you specify before modifying the file, and will place this backup in a folder at /.minecraft named /backup(date&time). You may go to this location and simply copy and paste the old minecraft.jar into your /bin folder, overwriting when prompted. You can also uninstall a mod if you have issues in case you forget to back up before installing. Read the "Installation.txt" for more info.

Feature Overview
- No installation of the program, just run from anywhere on you main/system drive (normally C:\)
- Installs mods in two easy steps (put mods in folder, click run)
- Easy, and also two-step, uninstallation of mods, even if they alter core classes
- Includes a quick error-report generator that will help modders and yourself get things fixed
- Installer does not require a compatibility patch; works with 95%+ mods straight from the download!
- And more to come when I think of ideas!

Using Auto-Mod
- Extract the contents from Auto-Mod.zip using 7-Zip or WinRAR to any location on your primary system OS drive (most likely C:\).
- Drag and drop any mod archives (.zip, .rar, etc.) into the Auto-Mod\Mods folder and leave them zipped! Do not extract them! Check the very short "Important_Structure" list below to see if you are about to install any mods that require being in the \Mods\Important_Structure\ folder.
- Simply double-click the Auto-Mod.bat file, and let it run. The first window will exit, and another will open shortly to finish installing the mods. Please do not interrupt this process.
- Open Minecraft and play! No need to delete the META-INF, as this program does this automatically!

Important Structure Mods
Some mods have odd structures that cannot be installed using the normal method. To install mods that are on this list, simply place the mod archive in "\Auto-Mod\Mods\Important_Structure\" and run as usual.

Known Mods:
-AudioMod
-GUI API
-More Trees

Please alert Volgon8 or me if you find mods that do not work through the normal directory, but work in the Important_Structure folder so they may be added to the list.

Auto-Mod v3.1 - All Versions of Minecraft

Version History

v3.1 - released with a great new feature: Uninstallation of mods. I realize other mod managers have done this before, but it seems too complex for me. With this, you click a file, 'Delete_Mod.bat', type in the mod you want to delete, and you're done! =D I also added a feature that will install the WorldEdit.jar file from SPC. I'm not too sure what else I can do with this installer, but I'll find something! Bug reports, feedback, and suggestions are all very welcome.

BiomeColors v3.0 - 1.3.1

Pictures
This area has a little transition between two biomes, though very subtle.


Here's a picture of a quick transition between biomes.


Description
This mod is a quick remake of the idea by Nandonalt to create biome compliant water, grass, and leaves. This mod does not include the biome colored splash, underwater fog, or rain, but it may be a future goal before Beta 1.7 comes out, most likely with biome compliant water.

Version History

v3.0 - Updated to 1.3.1
v2.0 - Added support for biome tall grass and vines.
v1.0 [NEW] - Added support for biome grass and leaves using the same algorithm as the biome water instead of using specific colors for each biome. This will alter the biome colors of swamps so they look like they did back in the old days.
v4.0 - Updated to 1.0.0
v3.0 - Finally does not require any other mods to work correctly! This should still work with Optimine/Optifog HD, but I have not tested it yet.
v2.0 - Update for Beta 1.7.3
v1.1 - Fixed lava from turning green. Added a different way for users to use the custom water, instead of requiring them to use a texture pack.
v1.0 - Initial Release for Beta 1.6.6

ReefMantas v4.1 - 1.0.0
Credit for the idea and textures goes to Daveyx0. Thanks!

Reef Mantas underwater


Here's a better view of the Mantas above water


Some Manta eggs


Here's a baby Manta (bubbles appear when hungry)

Description
ReefMantas, at the moment, is just a simple mod that adds an extra water creature into the game. v0.2 adds a lot of new features. You can now tame a Manta by right-clicking it while holding a cooked fish. You can also feed it by right-clicking while holding a fish.

Feature Overview
-Mantas spawn randomly in oceans and water
-These creatures come in four different varieties (textures).
-Adult Mantas will drop 1-2 Manta Meat and an egg, while babies will drop only 1 piece of Manta Meat
-Cooked Manta Meat can be used to breathe underwater about 5 times longer than usual (must be used while already underwater. Going above water will reset this)
-Mantas can be tamed using a cooked fish
-After about 10 minutes, Mantas will become hungry, and rise to the surface, jump, and bubble
-Use another cooked fish to feed it again
-You can right-click a tame Manta to mount it and ride it
-You can ride untamed Mantas, but you cannot control them
-Tame Mantas that are adults have the ability to lay eggs
-Right-click a Tame Adult Manta with a piece of Flint to make it stay
-Eggs will start moving after about 4 minutes in the water
-Once an egg hatches, a baby will spawn. You need to feed the Baby Manta for it to grow
-Baby Mantas will become a tame adult after one full MC day. These babies cannot be ridden
-Riding a Manta that is hungry will go about 50% the speed of a full Manta
-Mantas cannot hold a human at the surface of the water for a very long time, and will fall back down to the ocean floor from exhaustion, but will quickly rise back up when told

Version History:
v4.1 - Corrected texture problems, along with major code-cleanup
v3.0 + v4.0 - Simply updates
v2.0 - Updated for Beta 1.7.3, lowered spawn rates slightly.

Machetes v5.0 - 1.3.2

Images

Description
Adds 5 new machetes: Gold, iron, diamond, wood, and stone.
And a special machete: Slime
Machetes can be used to break through leaves, cactus, and cloth very quickly.
These new tools also deal 75% of each sword's damage. I.e. diamond machetes deal about 4 damage, while diamond swords deal about 5 damage.
The slime machete allows for a random chance for a slime ball to drop when used on mobs, and when hitting a slime, there's a chance that 3 slime balls will drop. Great for getting slime balls for sticky pistons.

PremiumWood v16.1 - 1.0.0

Pictures

Layout of everything since v6.2, with the exception of the Magic tools and machete.
Magic Wood tools have 208 uses (iron is 250, diamond is 1561), 6.5 speed (iron is 6.0, stone is 4.0), can mine Iron and below, and deals 2 hearts of damage (meant to be higher). The leaves on these trees are actually "crying" in a sense as well.

v6.2 Picture above, Maple Trees, sort of orange colored wood, and Silver Bell trees, the one with bright leaves, and of course, Magic trees with a newer more unique texture. The 'weeping' effect has been re-added also.

Here's a picture (above) of the new chests that will mix and match, and don't add new block IDs!

v8.0 Purple Heart Trees. The planks change color over time, as depicted in the above image. The darkest color can be found at the bottom left.

v9.0 Wood-Bordered Glass. Crafted by placing one glass block and a wood plank of your choice.

v10.0 Apple Trees and Golden Apple Trees. v11 - Apple trees do not have apples on all leaves. Also, apples can now be "picked" by right-clicking the apple leaf block. After a little while, the apple will grow back. Only blocks that originally had an apple on it will grow back, so the tree isn't covered in apples. Golden Apple trees will grow a red apple in place of the golden apple to keep things fair. Also, saplings have a 10% chance to grow a golden apple tree instead of a red apple tree.

v12 - Tigerwood Trees (not the golfer).

v13 - Willow Trees. Wish they looked more like they were weeping though.

Description
This mod fixes the insides of Birch and Pine/Spruce Logs. It also allows crafting of different colored planks from those logs without adding any new block IDs. Also adds six new types of the following (spruce, birch, magicwood, maple, purple heart, and silverbell): Bookshelves, Boats, Crafting Tables, Fences, Planks, Half Blocks (planks and logs), Torches, Doors, Stairs, Chests, and Sticks. A new tree has been added in v4.0: a very rare tree know as the Magic Tree. New tools can be made from this wood, and it's stronger, but slightly less durable than iron (subject to change). v6.0 adds two new trees: Maple and Silver Bell trees. Fairly common, and they're just trees, like the Birch and Spruce trees. v8.0 adds the Purple Heart wood. Uncommon, and has magnificent color-changing planks. v9.0 adds new wood-bordered glass blocks to use. v10.0 adds in Red Apple and Golden Apple trees in the world, though it's wood only makes normal planks, but who uses apple trees for wood? v11 - Apple trees do not have apples on all leaves. Also, apples can now be "picked" by right-clicking the apple leaf block. After a little while, the apple will grow back. Only blocks that originally had an apple on it will grow back, so the tree isn't covered in apples. Golden Apple trees will grow a red apple in place of the golden apple to keep things fair. Also, saplings have a 10% chance to grow a golden apple tree instead of a red apple tree. v11.1 New sapling textures by Zekrom9! Thanks! v12 adds a new "Tiger Wood" tree, and has nothing to do with Tiger Woods, the golfer. v13 adds in Willow trees, which yield forest green planks and items.

!DANGER!
Magic Tree saplings will explode 2/3 of the time instead of growing. Plant these saplings in a safe location away from anything you may care about!
Explosion is not very large: the crater is only about 4-5 blocks wide.
Use extreme care when using bone meal!

NetherCraft Wiki, by Death_possum
Thanks to Death_possum, NetherCraft now has its own wiki! Not much is on the wiki (at the time of me typing this), but I hope that other users will contribute in the constructions of this database of information over time, so that the NetherCraft Wiki will become complete in the near future. Visit the Wiki by clicking this link: NetherCraft Wiki. Hoping it turns out awesome!

Linium and Pyridium: Important info!!!
Linium and pyridium tools are now crafted using Ghast Rods. Ghast Rods are crafted by placing one Ghast Bone on top of another Ghast Bone, like you're making sticks. This recipe yields 8 Ghast Rods, since Ghast's Bones are so difficult to obtain.

Description
Many sprites for this mod were made by Johndona1245! Thanks much for the help!
This mod will make the Nether 100% survivable, so that you never have to travel back to the Surface to collect items or blocks. All parts of the Glowood Tree are explosion resistant (to a degree), making ghast fireballs hardly a nuisance! Tools, weapons, blocks, trees, sand, glass, minecarts, boats, stairs, almost everything in the Surface world now has its own equivalent in the Nether!
The Nether takes a few MineCraft days at least to acquire lava and make obsidian, so making a portal and travelling to the Nether shouldn't be a break, but should be a greater challenge than the surface, so it's not as boring. The Nether is very similar to a world like the Surface, but always night, and very dark, and hellish, obviously.
The Nether is survivable, but that doesn't mean it's easy!
So don't complain about how difficult it is, and how you've died too many times! This means you just need to try harder and get better at minecraft. This mod doesn't--to any degree--make the Nether so hard that it's impossible to play. Remember: Have fun!

Pictures and Background Info
Thanks goes to chalenged for some of the background info! Thanks! (Edited by me!)


For a real story written by "WayofTime" click the link below.
The Book of the Nether

Legends of the Beginning

In the beginning, there was nothing but Netherrack and Lava, and the other parts of the terrain not mentioned here. Eventually, after a mortal dies, their soul may go down into the Nether if they've done wrong in their life. Most of these souls simply turn in to Soul Sand. All of the souls are constantly pleading to be let out. They will pull anything that walks on it. However, some of the more evil souls turn into Ghasts. Both of these are guardians of the Nether. Ghasts keep out intruders, with the help of the Soul Sand, which slows down the intruders, making Ghasts' horrible aim still deadly. Ghasts feed on souls that are coming into the nether, a small cost for their vital protection.
As you travel through the vast labyrinth of the Nether, vast columns of lava can be seen gushing through the overhanging bedrock. Since the Nether is only slightly similar to the surface world, it sees regular heat and cold flashes ... once every millennium. As the lands of this territory of fire started to reduce in temperature, the pillars of fire started to slow down, and eventually stopped. Over the years, small drops of the original lava flow collected, and conjugated in their respective areas. As each drop pooled on the ceiling, the eternal light that shone in it turned to glass. By the time the Nether started to heat up the environment, great stalactites have formed of a bright yellow glass, illuminating the surrounding landscape. Now, if you brake this glass dust will fall out, showing the vast impurities that the lava held an entire five centuries ago.

A LOT MORE IN THE SPOILER!

Foulite's Anger

Souls aren't the only thing that end up trapped in the Nether. Whenever a human or a creature feels anger, it is released through the human's pores on their skin as pure energy. This "energy" then travels down into the Nether, where it settles onto the Netherrack and solidifies into a luscious green colored powder.

Glowood Trees

The Nether, being such a dangerous and brutal area, makes surviving as a herbivore near impossible. Ghasts often killed entire species with their constant barrages of explosions. Because of this, Glowood Trees have inhabited this fiery hellbound terrain, developing the strongest and most fireproof material known in the Nether as their trunks and leaves. Glowood trees are the only living being that is made entirely out of metal!

Dark Wheat and Lava Reeds


Other vegetation besides the Glowood Trees have also survived the harsh conditions of the Nether, such as Dark Wheat and Lava Reeds. Dark Wheat made its living underground, hiding from the Ghasts destructive explosives ever since the Glowood Trees have broken down the Netherrack into soft soil, and have learned to grow and flourish with the total absence of any light. Dark Wheat has adapted to absorb the heat generated by the Nether as the source of energy to grow. Seeds from the Dark Wheat plant can be found at any level of the Nether's dirt, since these plants have grown in the tightest crevices and holes in the soil. Regardless of the temperatures of which are produced by the lava, Lava Reeds have learned to live from the minerals and rich nutrition from the lava in the Nether.

The Origins of the Dark Zombies

A century ago, when the surface world recieved its first few reports of the dead waking up from their eternal sleep, a vent opened up into a deep subterranian mine, mixing for the first time the deep searing mass of lava with the rivers above. Then, on one fateful day, a creeper was chasing one of the early adventurers of the lands into this cavern and detonated, sending his body and the tools with him into a wall of a deep purple stone. While going through one of the natural vents of this volcanic glass, his flint struck the stone and set it ablaze, and in the ensueing explosion and deep purple fire, was sent to a world where no human has set foot before...
But today was not to be the day that a man would take those steps, for the explosive force of the creeper changed this adventurer, and the ensueing corruption rented through his body, denying him of his final, restful sleep. As the darkness of the Nether engulfed him, his eyes opened with a deep crimson gleem, and the dreadful Zombie of Darkness started to walk the lands of this world of fire.
They say that if you ever meet one of these beasts in the depths of Hell, these monsters that are now readily formed by the culmination of the creeper's explosion and the deep purple glass, you can still see the rags that cling to the body ... of the ones who did not get away.

The Chaos; The Order

The Nether in the past has been known to launch into states of random chaos. Imps were the solution to this. They were "employed" to assure that evil souls are attracted and contained in the Nether. Nobody knows who or what they were "employed" by. Nobody. Not even the Imps themselves, can even recall. The Imps just mindlessly work, somehow generating a spiritual, gravitational pull to make sure everything acts as it is supposed to. Unfortunately the Imps were obviously designed for one thing only, keeping order. Thus, they have no kind of self defence, save for an odd splitting action that was presumably implemented to attempt to restore order by increasing the Imps in numbers, although this seems to be a failure as a defense mechanism.

Tribals v. Pigzombies

After an accident occurred in a deep cave littered with obsidian, a strange portal apperead. The Tribals stood in it with their iron weapons ready for protection. When they got through, a Pigzombie was walking towards them with it's Pyridium sword drawn, not sure what to make of the new, strange arrivals. The Pigzombie was frightened, and spontaneously attacked the Tribals. This angered the Tribals, causing a fierce rivalry between the two Tribes. The Tribals found protective glowing trees and beautiful new plants and strong metals to use, and decided that this was a better place to survive. Eventually, the Tribals took use of these materials and learned to become the more dominent race. The Tribals also developed a very strong skin, much like the Glowood trees did. This protects them from the extreme temperatures in the Nether. The Pigzombies now retreat in the darkness, hidden, and afraid of these new Tribals.

Ghast Bones


Shortly after the discovery of Pyridium by the Tribals, the Tribals discovered that this material would outlast the Glowood's sticks that they had used since they had arrived. The Tribals had observed the unique property of durability that this material held, and the Tribals found this to be a problem, and sought to understand why the PigZombies used such a material although the tool would continue to break. The Tribals then noticed the one and only difference between their Pyridium tools and the PigZombies' tools: the PigZombies used some sort of bones. The Tribals searched, and tested, and failed, many times, until one day, they tried using a Ghast's bones. This material was much more durable than the old Glowood sticks, but couldn't be obtained near as easily or safely as the original Glowood sticks. This is why the Tribals do not use Ghast's bones for tools created with materials weaker than Pyridium.

Bonemeal from Ghasts


Before the Tribals even arrived, PigZombies had been using the Ghast's bones for more than just tools. The Ghast's bones could be crushed up into bonemeal. PigZombies found the marrow inside of the bones to have very special and unique properties that were extremely useful. The bonemeal they had discovered was an extremely potent explosive material, and also could be used as a super efficient fertilizer in the Nether. When the Tribals arrived, they often used this material to instantly grow crops, and almost instantly grow trees. They also used this material in combination with the Heat Sand, which created a very strong explosion when friction was applied. Tribals used these blocks, known by name as "Ghast Bombs" as a way to find minerals hidden deep in the Nether's walls and caves and "earth."

The Closest Analogue to Water

Ghasts are trapped in the Nether forever, fated to guard and protect its powers from Surface visitors. Ghasts occasionally mourn because of this, and cry. They cry a special type of liquid, known simply as Ghast Tears in their liquid form, and W Dust, in it's solid form. W Dust simply stands for "Water Dust," and is formed by the combination of Netherrack blood, Ghast Tears, and heat, and has properties very similar to water, since it can easily cool anything, especially lava, forming obsidian ingots. This Netherrack containing the dried product of this combination is often extremely dense and strong, and can only be mined with Pyridium and Linium, the two strongest materials found in the Nether. The W-Obsidian ingots, as they are called, are often used as very strong and durable armors, but are also used to recreate portals back to the Surface world.

The First Sign of Fire

Drip... drip... drip...'
After a long and tiring fight, the Chief of the Tribals allowed himself to relax his grip on his sword of dark purple. Covered in the foul blood of the zombie pigman that the chief had just slain, the sword almost seemed like it vibrated along with its master over their latest victory. And why shouldn't they, since it was for the cause of the war.
The chief went over to the river of lava that was flowing through their village, and began to rinse and clean his sword, for even the hilt was red. The War of the Damned... As he turned to head back to the main area of their village, he flicked a final drop of this liquid that gives life off of the hilt and into the river. As if his condescending attitude has awoken a god of fire, great spouts of fire erupted 20 feet high from the river, and out comes a gelatinous entity that has never been seen before. Unable to move from sheer terror, he watched as this new force ebbed closer and closer. When he finally raised his sword to strike, it was too late.
When the village came looking for him, wanting to hear his tales from the latest battle, they only saw a viscous residue sticking to the stone where his sword still lain. From then on, the Tribals attacked these blood-red Fire Slimes on sight, as if killing them would rid the thought that even more bloodshed could bring an army of them knocking on their doors.

GloShrooms for the Dead

Since the caves of the Nether are very deep and dark for an area of such abundant fire, the tribal explorers are sent regularly down in the deep pits with torches of foulite, reminded to be resourceful as they go into the bowels of 'The Rack.' One of these such explorers was quite feeble minded and as such forgot to bring sticks to replenish his supply. As he neared one of the many bends in the tunnels he noticed a faint purple glow reminicent of his neridium pickaxes, and investigated, and what he found was an absolute valley of deep-purple mushrooms.
Fearing that he would never see this sight again, he promptly collected as many of these new treasures, and decided it was best to leave.
The head cheif of his village, near a river of lava, commended the explorer, and told him to hold the supply for a special occasion. Such an opportunity presented itself the day after ... The tribals are a very proud race, not prone to death easily, but when one dies in battle it is a very tragic loss. As such, when their chief mysteriously died next to the river, a ring of mushrooms was placed on his grave. From that day onwards, whenever a battle has taken place, a purple mushroom is placed on the grave of the fallen; and only when it has soaken up the blood of the tribal's enemy does it glow an acid green.
When you travel through this valley of death and see a mushroom planted in a pack, take heed before picking it up; for you are standing on a burial ground.

PigZombies and Bows

After consistent wars between the Pig Zombies and the Tribals, the Pig Zombie population began to drop severely. These Tribals that came through the portal had great advantages over the Pig Zombies; They held strong swords, and these weapons of which shot dangerous 'Arrows' as projectiles. If the Pig Zombies got within 10 meters of a Tribal using this device, even two or three Tribals could take out an entire pack of Pig Zombies without even getting close to them. The Pig Zombie race began to observe how the Tribal's 'Bows' worked. After many hours of trial and error, a pack of Pig Zombies crafted this powerful weapon that the Tribals used. They developed an attack form, and charged towards a Tribal pack, with one or two of them firing arrows made from Pyridium that the Pig Zombies had been using as a form of currency. Because of the success, the creator of this 'Bow' alerted many other packs of Pig Zombies, telling stories about the attack, and also taught these packs how to craft these 'Bows.' The Pig Zombies now had a better chance of surviving the Tribals' deadly force, and as soon as the Pig Zombies learned better techniques to use this device, their numbers began to rise once again.

Linium: The Strength of the Gods

As the battle between the Pigmen and the Tribals raged on, each side was trying to deduce a way to increase the strength of their weapons. Since increased honeing of their weapons only yealded slightly better results, the Tribals eventually looked towards previously undiscovered minerals. One of the tribal archers, a master at his craft, was hunting Ghasts in the Great Valley of the Heat Sands, when one of his arrows of brittle netherrack sailed right past his target and into a yawning gourge cut by a river's flow. Investigating more closely, he discovered a strange substance, as white as glowood, clinging to the inside of the rock. After smelting this substance, he fashioned a shining bow, with a set of arrows that were the sharpest that he has ever created.
As he started hunting again, he placed the arrow on the string, notched it ... and let fly the arrow of speed. As it sailed through the air, faster than any ghast that has ever seen the face of this world, it struck its target with a resounding 'thwack!' and the defeated enemy layed dead at the archer's feet.
This Linium, as the tribals named it after the one who discovered it, was the most powerful substance that has been found, to date, in the Nether. Be careful, though, because many warriors have met their end when their powerful tool of cast Linium brakes because of its sheer force.

v1.8b - Added Ghast Apocalypse mode to the config file (this is off by default). This mode is very arduous, and may cause extreme rage. You have been warned!
v1.8a - Fixes some bugs. Can't remember all of them though, lol.
v1.8 - Updated for Beta 1.6.6. Fixed torch, gloshrooms, ladder, and glosaplings so they only use a block, instead of a block and an item. Using ScotTools to make Smooth Netherrack burn. You MUST have ScotTools v8.0 or later to use this version!
