It has many similar bows. If you want the quiver feature try mine Blade and Battle Gear 2 as well.

I'm already working on a pack and it already has rpg skills/sword skills/gui/weapons/mobs/bosses/wall running/dungeons/max hp up/giant generating cities and permissions, and it will be released very soon. maybe in a week or 2.

Open the video in a way like: Hey, this is *insert name* here doing a map review/playthrough on *insert name*'s map.

As long as you credit the creator in any way and do not claim ownership, you have every right to create a youtube video. In fact, the creator would love the publicity. So they encourage that.

Just no reposting the map if you know what I mean.

Skeletons are like a two-edged bow. They kill with no discrimation, yet terminate with extreme prejudice.

Lol Minecraft is an RPG. So this thread is flawed in that way.

I respectfully disagree. Minecraft is medieval, but not an RPG. In Minecraft, there is no role to play. You kinda just do whatever you want and be whomever you want really.

Quote from Escman1999»

would it be easy to rewrite this mod for 1.6.4? most of my mods aren't updated yet... i mean, all his mod is is a couple new blocks, and some armor and tools after all.. i'd do it myself, but i don't know any java D:

Unfortunately, there are actually more than just blocks and armor as the above posts said. There is a dyable tool mechanic, a glowing light mechanic, a colored light compatibility, etc., etc.

1.6.4 and 1.7.10 are far too different to code, which is a bit of an issue. Many modding mechanics have changed since then.

Sorry, but I would recommend dropping those mods and moving to 1.7, as many new, better, and similar mods exist.

What is Megaman? A game series created by Capcom with a robotic protagonist and bla bla bla rant rant rant my avatar (currently) is megaman.

Anyways, my issue is the megaman fanbase is huge, and yet there is only one megaman mod beyond 1.6.2. And 1.6.2 is a pretty deplorable and unstable minecraft version. 1.6.4 is good, but again there are none. Well, there is 1, but it has nonfunctioning items. The only megaman mod out there, really, is exclusively MMBN based. Which is great because I really like mega man battle network. But there is currently no variety in MM mods and all the megman mods are individually in different minecraft versions.

Which is where my idea comes in. A Mega Man X Mod. I mean, think about it. Really, it is the transition between modern hack and slash megaman games and classic shoot and die frequently ones. And a good one too.

So my request is not for a basic Mega Buster, as the mentioned above mod contains. But for the robots.

Boss robots that dropped ability drives, which can be Installed into an X-Buster.

By default, the X-Buster rapid fires small 1-damage yet armor piercing projectiles, rather then charged, explosive ones. However, you can add up to 9 program chips (9 rather than 8 to realistically fit into a chest-like gui) which you can scroll through to shoot a variety of projectiles.

Here are general ideas for the bosses that drop them, but intentionally are not real megaman bosses:



Slash Pig: A buff huge iron golem-esque pigman robot with a green laser sword that is slow and powerful.

Drops- Explosive pig head chip which fires wither skulls retextured like pig skulls.



Flare Cow: A villager-like cow robot who fires ghast fireballs but moves backwards facing the player making him hard to kill in pvp.

Drops- Ghast chip which fires giant fireballs.



Draco Chicken: A giant green chicken robot who fires blaze fireballs rapidly and jumps towards player for physical damage.

Drops- Blaze chips with small fireballs.







Etc., etc.

FAQ:

1. My world crashed.
-good chance it's my fault, but I test it constantly. It hasn't happened yet....
-alternatively, you could be running Java 8.20. Please don't. Modpacks won't work if so.
2. Ehh...my world is in a CRASH LOOP!
-uh oh! Sorry about that. Use mcedit to remove what is causing it. If it's armor, delete your player folder. WILL wipe inventory.

As I said, this pack is basically crash-proof, though.

3. I can't figure out how to do this!
-Ask me, I'll respond. Or look on the mod's page/wiki.
-If it's buildcraft, don't bother. You weren't supposed to. XD

4. Are there any things I should try?
-Yep.
a. Build Magitek Armor. Shift right click to add coal. Configure fire beam controls, shoot smelting beams.
b. Try out ACTUALLY USING sword essences, they're awesome.
c. NEI should help you with crafting/usage.
d. Build a twilight portal, ore dimension portals with any vanilla ores, and go to hell! (Nether is revamped.)
e. Eternal frost, right click ants, get all the weapons on armor stands.

5. Anything else I should know? Tips?
-Yes
a. Avoid giant foes. THEY WILL KILL YOU.
b. Have diamond armor? Still avoid them.
c. Try mining. There are multiplication ores, deadly dungeon foes with epic rewards, and exclusive underground stuff.
d. Try this for everlasting tools.

Works on EVERYTHING with durability.
e. Shift-Right click a table upgrade on enchanting table.

5. My controls are all funky.
-assign them immediately. Ran out of spaces? Use number keypad or assign all useless controls to one button.

6. Is this final fantasy based?
-No. It's FF INSPIRED!


7. I lost all my magics.
-You have keepInventory or have a charm of keeping. Don't use either while holding (and dying with) a spellbook.

8. Can mod x be added?
-probably. If you ask me. And these are met.
a. Not too overly complicated.
b. Fits theme.
c. Doesn't crash the game. XD
d. Permission can be obtained. Ex: Not mutant creatures.

Your not a native English speaker right? I can barely understand your post at the beginning of this thread. The pictures look nice though so I will try this mod .

Such on purpose, though.
Wow, meme.
Very, intended.

So, what if there was a mod that allowed you to become a shadow who was invincible yet unable to interact with the world by pressing a key?

I'm thinking you would have a shadow bar that slowly depletes and would have unclear vision. When the bar runs out, you turn back and must recharge. Shadow gear lets you be a shadow longer and the shadow sword does +2 armor piercing damage yet can be used as a shadow, as you could not normally do that.

While a shadow, you can slide up walls and crawl on the cieling darting really fast and see hidden "shadow ores" otherwise disguised as stone to make the armor. Gold tier or something specific can mine these when you are in normal form. They make the previously stated armor/weapons.



You are also invincible as a shadow.



I know it sounds like an IChun mod with complexity, but I would appreciate if someone made this.

Quote from Iarik»

This is an interesting point, even if I think that it's an exagerated comparison. I also came to that conclusion, trying to figure out what would be the most immersive and "legit" experience in Minecraft. I've always been too lazy to not look at tutorials, but I don't think it's a limiting view.

Thanks for the comments. Comparing the F3 screen to the wiki *is* a bit of an exaggeration, but useful to make a point. Attempting to discover or define the "pure" or "legit" Minecraft experience is a slippery prospect. I spent quite a while getting hung up on trying to predict the patterns of biome distribution using real-world logic. I thought maybe you had a better chance of finding biome x if you searched the perimeters of biome y, just as you might in the real world. As it turns out, this is only sort of true- there are a few simple rules that determine biome distribution that are useful to know, but otherwise the patterns are not "realistic" in any kind of real-world sense. It took me a while, but I've stopped expecting (and playing as if) Minecraft is Earth.

Floating blocks exist in Minecraft- is it legit to build a bridge with no support? Spawners exist in Minecraft- is it legit to build XP farms around them or should you actually have to fight for your XP? Minecraft uses a very simple definition of a "valid door" in village mechanics- is it legit to build and populate villages with "doors" and "houses" that can't possibly be used by the player or NPCs? What about exploiting mob AI- zombies think trap doors are solid and will walk over them- is it legit to take advantage of this? What about unintended consequences or outright glitches or bugs? Is it legit to go after an abandoned mineshaft that you accidentally saw while the chunk was loading?

I feel that the "legit" Minecraft experience is best defined by the individual player. Jeb may have his own opinions about what the game is supposed to be, but part of the beauty (and immense popularity) of the game is that it is both complex *and* incredibly malleable. If you want to farm mobs- great, go to it. If you want to build impossible structures using dyed wool- that's fine. If you want some sort of completely immersive experience, figure out what that means to you and go for it. If you want to use coordinates or mods or the wiki to help you do what you want to do- so be it.

That said, it would be a fantastic idea to separate the functions of the de-bug screen. Want to know the frame rate or memory usage or version? Have that available on one screen. Want to know in-game data that are otherwise difficult, verging on impossible to deduce from the game itself (coordinates, light levels, local difficulty)- put that on a different screen. If I have to enable cheats to use it- well, I guess that's what I'll have to do if I intend to keep playing the way I do.

cheers,
tbg

Support this idea on reddit! Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/2ympop/pigeons_a_tamable_mob_with_a_purpose/

Also, please stop giving fixes for a lag issue that has been fixed for half a year. We don't really need it any more, and it's getting quite annoying. If there is still a lag issue that I haven't stated, then please alert me of it.

Isn't it hard walking over 1000 blocks just to deliver a single item? Yes you can make rail systems to send large amounts of items, but I find a simpler way is necessary. My answer: Delivery Pigeons.

Pigeons spawn in forest-like biomes. They can be tamed with 2-5 pumpkin seeds, and 5 hearts. They will then follow you around until you are ready to send a message. The pigeon would look like this:
It would be able to fly (follow), or stand (sit), until you are ready. When you want to send something, shift+right click the tame pigeon, and this GUI will come up.

The 6 slots are for the items that you want to send, the send button sends the items, the cancel button exits the menu without sending, and the black box is for the players name. I decided on 6 slots, so that clever rail systems are not obsolete.

A new block would also be added called the perch, when a pigeon is sent, it will land on one of the receiving player's perches.
Crafting:

A perch:

I'm clueless about redstone, but I think that If a pigeon is on a perch, a comparator could give off a signal, but not if the perch is empty. You could create pigeon alarms using this. Please tell me if this is not how comparators work!

Preches can be named for 0 xp in an anvil, so you can type: "playername perchname" to decide exactly which perch you will send the pigeon to, without too much expense.
Adventure map makers can use commands to give perches custom names, without having the playername. This is so that you don't have to send messages to the author of the map to complete a puzzle.

If the player you are sending the items to does not have enough perches, the pigeon will just put the items back in your inventory (Or on the ground if there is not enough space).

When you send a pigeon to a user, It will appear to fly away, but when it reaches an unloaded chunks, it will teleport to one of their perches, with a delay depending on distance between the 2 objects, the blocks:minutes ratio would be about 500:1. If the distance is shorter than 200 blocks, It will just fly the distance (and load any unloaded chunks). This is so that on small map PVP servers, and UHC's you can have fun shooting down enemy pigeons. It would be hard to do this, as they fly twice as fast as a player sprinting.


It will then appear in the "view" any nearby players, and land on it. If no players are nearby, it will just be sitting there. If it can't reach a perch in any way, it will noclip through the layer of blocks, I cant see how this could be used for griefing. Once the player has found it, and taken the items, it becomes that players pigeon. Only the owners of pigeons can use their inventories.

I'm sure you can see how this can help in multiplayer, but what about the people who are strictly singleplayer? I've sorted this too.
Imagine that you are in the middle of nowhere, and lost. You have been wandering for hours, because you have your diamond armour, sword, and pick with you. You see a pigeon flying around, but ignore it. Then you see pumpkins. You grab them, and turn them into seeds, and tame the pigeon. Next thing you know, your armour, and tools are flying home. You then find a ravine...
You obviously could just have a pigeon follower, or a pigeon farm just for the fun of it.
And there's the potential for minigames/ puzzles. Try an shoot down pigeons before they get to you, or have to send items in pigeons to complete the puzzle... The possibilities are huge.

Pigeons spawn like cows, and pigs, and don't despawn. They lay eggs like chickens, and you can throw these to get baby pigeons
A comparison of adult and baby pigeons:

Since previous tamable mobs like horses, and cats have multiple skins, pigeons would have a chance to spawn with dove colours.

Possible suggestions made by the community:

ThesaurusRex and I worked on creating a more realistic pigeon, that would still fit the game. It has a larger tail, chicken eyes, and a smaller head. The legs are also different.

Reddit user coolreader18 (and a few other people) suggested letters. Crafted with one paper, and one feather, they store a single page of writing, and make a good aesthetic, and are a cheaper way of sending text.

Thank you for reading my suggestion. If you don't like it, don't just say: "No support" Give me a reason like:
"I don't like the trees, No Support." So that I can improve the suggestion.

1: he just explained the classes

2: how do you combo

3: 1.9 requires timing blocks, and learning how to debuff properly, but if you asked me, 1.8 and below required more skill.


Timing w- and s-taps is a strategy.

Blockhitting in the right time is a strategy.

Jitterclicking is harder than you think.

Accuracy is a strategy,

Fast refills are a strategy.


Just explain tactics, not stuff like kits or crap

I think you're confusing tactics/strategies with skills. To put it simply:

Strategy: What to bring to a battle and choosing a good location.

Tactics: How you move around in battle. When to use which items/skills.

Skills: Successfully performing what you need to perform.

Now, spamclicking is a skill, in that it requires some practice to maximize clicks while maintaining accuracy, but as a tactic, it leaves a lot to be desired (spamclick whenever you're not doing something else, pretty much). Furthermore, we're replacing it with the skill of timing your attacks to occur JUST as your bar refills, so that you can maximize your damage while not waiting too long and sacrificing precious attacks. In itself, this new skill also allows for more tactics, as each hit now means more. One tactic may be to dodge in and out, trying to get your opponent to miss with his attack and then moving in to strike while he's recharging. Additionally, other changes enhance strategy and tactics, too.

Strategy is enhanced by the possibility of builds/kits, which allows you to decide different loadouts depending on your play style and whether you expect to fight 1v1 or team vs team. Because of this, you also have a whole slew of new tactics for teams to use, with individuals being able to specialize like never before.

In short, by moving to 1.9 we're losing one skill, but gaining another skill and many new tactics and strategies. I think the reason "most are hating 1.9" (and I disagree with that term because it actually appears to be the minority), is because they are comfortable spamclicking and don't want to have to learn a new skill or strategies/tactics. However, once 1.9 releases and they've tried it for a while, I'm sure they'll adapt.

...either that, or they'll spend the rest of eternity complaining on the forums about how much better things were "in the old days".

Quote from Xystem4»

Yet you never made that clear. You're just changing your opinion now based on what people have supported. You had no intention of a seal of approval system. You just wanted to bend the rules so your server could get through. Once again, DO NOT only respond to posts that are beneficial to you!

Nobody had thought of it up til now, you were all too busy arguing about why the EULA should or should not be changed.
He is perfectly justified in agreeing with the seal of approval system, as he more than likely forgot about it in the heat with everyone giving their all-or-nothing opinions.

He never had stated any conclusive idea on how to improve the system, as he didn't know how either. An approval seal would fix his issues and concerns, since Mojang are guaranteed to be more lenient than a legal document. Mojang already lets you charge an entry fee to servers (even if they're part of a server network), so it seems that their issue is the gap between free and paying players, as well as the commitment it takes to go from free to paying, rather than the whole idea of paying for a game you already own.

You do know that all of this except jitterclicking is still in the game. Accuracy is even more important than ever before because you have to have good aim at the right time, instead of just swinging insanely until you hit something. Blockhitting is still a thing, you have to know when to use your shield and then strike when there's an opening. W-tapping and S-tapping, still a thing. "Fast refills", still a thing. The only thing that has changed is that you have to time your attacks and wait for an opening, adding more strategy to PVP.

I am a huge PVPer and this is going to be the best thing ever added to it.

Quote from SqueakerSquadd»

Nope, he didn't explain the strategies

really?

OK, but what takes more skill? The old system or the new system? The answer should be obvious. In the new system, we have new intersting combos/strategies that are being discovered every day. And I'm not just making this up, there are numerous threads about it. Imagine incorporating these dual wield strategies with kits; the results are "builds". Some builds are better against other builds but worse against others who have different weaknesses. Like rock paper scissors.

Now imagine that any ally with a different "build" you team up with fills in for your weaknesses, and formation matters now. This is what 1.9 can do. And that's not all. We may see hoes, axes, pickaxes, swords, shields, AND bow types, and the bow types will play a support row as well, with potion arrows. Shield types will stand in front and block incoming arrows, since shields block more than swords used to plus more ranged options to block from in the first place. Elytra can add a "flight" type kit with little armor. Hoe kits will have no cooldowns to accommodate other players who hate 1.9. (Edit: or can be a knockback oriented class)
Edit: you can also dodge attacks and force the enemy to use their cooldown if they are axe types, or push enmies into a line of fire with sword sweep.

I just bolded all the strats, how did you miss that?

With the new dual wield feature in minecraft, there are crazy combinations you can do!

1. Hit and Run

To do this one you need the bow in the left hand and an enderpearl in the right hand. When you click and hold right click you throw the pearl and pull back the bow at the same time. This lets you attack and run away. Shoot the ender pearl far away and then turn to shoot your opponent, as they get hit you vanish. Personally, this is good as a last stand when you're about to die.

2. Poisoned Sword

To do this one you need the bow in the left hand and a sword of any type in the right and some poisoned arrows. Shoot your arrows at your opponent and they should get poisoned, this gives you a chance to hurt them without being close and after a while they should be at low health, when that happens strike them with your sword. This is a good tactic at the front line and is recommended doing it with PvP because most hostile mobs don't get affected by the poison.

I hope these tactics will help you be better at PvP in 1.9. I will add more tactics when i find more, or you can suggest them to me below!

I tell you three things about the pvp of 1.9:

- End of SpawnClick

- More strategy

- PvPers crying

Quote from Slothyanity»

I think the best way to make everyone happy would be to allow people to choose which system they like. People can go about their ways and everyone can enjoy the update.

They already have a way to make everyone happy; the ability to switch your version of the game.
Don't like what 1.9 is doing to spam-clicking PVP? Just don't update!
