this has the possibility of being a terrible thing, or a good thing

now to the people saying "Minecraft has no storyline, how could they do a movie on it?" Remember that Lego doesn't have a plot or storyline, neither does Starbound so far and yet there's some amazing fan fics on it, the only thing that's really deciding if this is good or bad is what the writer writes and if that's good or not... that and the animation quality, and a lot of other things too... I just blew my own argument apart didn't I?

I'm actually curious to see what happens to Minecraft when EQN: Landmark comes out, as that can do anything Minecraft can do, with much prettier graphics (not a huge fuss to me), the ability to add more detail, and it's free to play. I'm not saying Minecraft is instantly going to be deaded (purposely misspelled) but I for one will find my time being consumed more by EQN: Landmark than Minecraft. Another reason I may be leaving is how... rude (since I can't use a more appropriate word due to forum rules), the community has been to Mojang since Beta 1.7. Back then when the pistons where added, they didn't fling stuff in the air like the mod did, and people were a bit dissapointed but they were more like 'it's your game Mojang, do what you want' and now we're here in 1.7 and the reaction when the rose was replaced with a poppy was disgusting, people were literally going 'YOU SCREWED UP THE GAME MOJANG! FIX YOUR CRAP!' and I was just... shocked, to see what the once peaceful community of Minecraft has turned into. Another reason is, I just don't know what to do anymore, I never go on Minecraft unless a friend is playing it, and even then we're not on for long before we play something like Starbound or Loadout, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. The spark of Alpha lit the fire to Beta and it grew bigger to official release, but now it's dying out in my opinion.

EDIT: I forgot one thing, the 14 million sales on PC? That's only sales, not people playing, so any number of those 14 million could have left by now

1. it does not add challenge, it adds tediousness which are very different from eachother

2. people are explorers and miners (I being one of them) and don't pay attention to what biome they're in underground, lemme act it out for you. I'm mining around diamond layer with a ton of pickaxes, I suddenly run into pistonium (which actually sounds terrible IMO), I have NO wood, NO redstone, NO Iron ingots, how do I get rid of it? BLOW IT UP!!! oh wait, it's bomb proof :/

3. you compared this... to CREEPERS!? let's see how we solve the Creeper issue compared to pistonium
Creeper comes along, "MURDERISE IT!!!" and either it blows up, or you kill it, Creeper battles don't tend to last for more than 5 seconds, however with pistonium you have to have the patience and attention span (which a lot of people don't have) to push this ALL the way to their base which could take anywhere from 5-10+ minutes and a broken pickaxe from mining the piston back up all the time

4. again, how do you compare MOUNTAINS to this!? there's a simple solution if the mountains in the way of building: mine it and turn it into part of your house or just add an elevator to a top floor on top of the mountain, done but this you can't mine so it's stuck there until you can be bothered to move it from it's place which is very unlikely

5. this is also the perfect griefing tool, just cover chests, AFKers .etc with this stuff then the chest is gone or the AFKer is perma trapped, respectively.

I understand that you were just putting your idea here, and I respect that you have the capabilities to take a blow from criticism (a lot of people can't) but try to think of all sorts of scenarios like what I did to see if it actually fits, games are like puzzle pieces, if one of them doesn't fit it doesn't work

Then don't update.

there will ALWAYS be updated servers, and most servers ALWAYS are to the latest version

The game is easy as it is. Most people want it harder

and a lot of people want an easy game to play

When will this be UPDATED to 1.5.1?

Quote from Goodlyay

Is anyone else getting sick of "butter"?

yeah.. I am (I take that VERY lightly, I mean I am VERY sick of it) Gold is Gold, Gold is not edible or used on toast, so it is NOT butter!

Quote from VergiltheDarkSlayer

i hope 1.5 mods work in 1.5.1

it's only bugfixes, so it should scratch that, 1.5 mods need to be updated, otherwise minecraft crashes (either that or I'm being stupid and don't know how to put mods in the mods folder anymore )

Quote from SuperSupermario24

If you're not using Minecraft version 1.8.1, I will literally hit myself. Really, really hard.

that's not how you do it, you punch their face in the face, grab a Glock18 and use up the entire mag on them, throw them off a plane, get a Ban Hammer and smash his face then send them to hell, and then facedesk

Quote from 4dHans

One question: Is this mod dead? It is my favorite mod, ive used it since BETA!!

One question: why do people always bump dead threads? I've always been wondering as it is annoying and useless

If you like these mods, feel free to on the bottom right of this post. All mod download links include the mod's source code. You don't need permission to mess around with my code; it's completely open-source as long as you don't make money off of it and give credit where credit is due. Yes I use adf.ly now. Deal with it.

[size=large]The Boombox[/size]
Play your favourite music from within Minecraft simply by dragging it into a folder beforehand! Formerly The Radio Mod.

Demo Video by MindKrafter:


Demo Video of Ambient Music by belldyl:


Demo and Installation Video by TheDayGamers:



[size=medium]How to Use[/size][/size]

1. [size=x-small]Install the mod like you would any other (full instructions in download). This mod requires ModLoader. The default block IDs are 230 and 231 but can be changed in the props file. EQ animations can also be disabled in the props file (for people who use MCPatcher for HD texture packs - read the FAQ for more info).[/size]


2. [size=x-small]Drag your converted music into the folder ...\.minecraft\resources\mod\boombox. Whatever is in that folder will be loaded automatically and the boombox can play them.[/size]


3. [size=x-small]The boombox by itself plays like a jukebox. Add two speakers to the sides of a boombox (on both sides) and the volume will double (double record volume). Add 4 speakers (2 on each side) and the music will play worldwide. Redstone can be used to toggle (i.e. like a button) music on or off.[/size]


4. [size=x-small]Enjoy![/size]

[size=x-small]NB: The sound engine Minecraft uses can supposedly stream ogg, wav, mus, xm, s3m and mod files (half of which I've never heard of). In my experience ogg is your safest bet.

For players that use HD textures (ones that specifically require MCPatcher), you'll have to do without EQ animations since MCPatcher screws too much stuff up. This version removes the animated texture and instead has a static image for playing and a static one for not. Of course you can change the textures to any resolution to fit with your texture pack:


64x texture courtesy of steps.

NB: As of 1.1, the normal version above works with HD texture packs. Unless you resize the animated textures, go to the properties file and change "EnableEQAnimations = true" to "EnableEQAnimations = false" and then replace "boombox_static.png" with the HD textures (the 16x ones or the old HD ones will work just fine too).

[size=large]The TV Mod[/size]

Right so I've been kinda busy so I didn't get much done on the skills mod thing. As a compensation I'll release the TV mod for beta testing. It's mostly experimental. Instructions are in the download.

Unofficial update to 1.2.4
TVMod 1.0 for MC1.1
TVMod 1.0 for MC1.0.0
TVMod 1.0 for MC B1.8.1

Requires ModLoader and xuggler (and you'll probably need to restart when you install it). This mod uses xuggler's native shared libraries to decode video and audio. If your game crashes on placing a TV and you're on a 64bit Windows PC, download this (original page here) and copy it into C:\Program Files\Xuggle (or wherever you have it installed).

Xuggler is really as good as it gets for decoding video in Java. No I will not switch to JMF and no I will not write my own video decoder because you'll drown in bugs if I did.

NB: Go somewhere near the end of this thread to get the old Xuggler installer since apparently now you have to build it yourself.

TV Recipe:


TV Remote Recipe (shapeless):



[size=small]How to Use:[/size]

• It's similar to a painting, but should be placed on the block you want the centre of it to be.
• Right-click with the remote to play/pause.
• Shift + right-click while playing skips to the next video.
• Shift + right-click while paused stops. The next time you play, the same video will start.

[size=small]Features:[/size]

• Can load an unlimited number of videos in any format as long as they're in the "TV" folder.
• Every TV is independent and runs lag-free.
• TVs are not affected by ambient lighting.
• Every TV remembers what video you were on when you log out.
• When a video is over, the next one is auto-played.
• Includes a config file where you can edit IDs, screen width, screen height, sound range, enable HD or enable shuffle.
• Screen size can be set to up to 16*16 blocks or 4*4 if HD is enabled (you can set it to more, I didn't set a cap, but don't). The video is adapted to fit the chosen size. 16*16 on standard resolution runs better if you're watching from long distances as HD becomes redundant:

[size=small]Known Bugs:[/size]

• Remote range is annoyingly short since it uses the same method for entity/block interaction. (like milking a cow or opening a workbench). I plan to make it control anything the cross-hairs are aimed on.
• When HD is enabled, sometimes you'll see small lines, dots or other visual artifacts on the screen, though these are rare if the player isn't moving.
• Some people get this random memory leak (their RAM usage shoots up when they've been playing a loong video). Since the Java garbage collector takes care of any non-deallocated memory, I can only blame the Xuggler native code. I'll look into it.

[size=large]Skills API[/size]

[size=small]About[/size]
An attempt to turn minecraft into an MMORPG. I should go outside more. Upgraded from this (that kinda sucked) which was in turn built on this (that was used solely by modders trying to merge Minecraft with Terraria and I've never even played Terraria).

It has returned!



[size=small]Mods using the SkillsAPI[/size]

• MC++ (WIP)
• Generic Skill Pack (download below)
Skills (alphabetical):

Barrage Binding Signet Creeper Blast Healing Breeze Levitate Summon Wolf Super Jump Unrelenting Force

Wanna know what they do? Only one way to find out!


Items:

Generic Skill book (shapeless)

Teaches you all the above skills.

Heritage Amulet

Required for Binding Signet (can trigger it as well).

Mana Potion

The only way to recharge Mana if you're playing on hard (other than dying).

• SkyrimCraft
• STARWARS: Power of the Force

[size=xx-small]PKSkillsAPI 1.0 for MC 1.0.0

Generic Skill Pack 1.0 for MC 1.0.0[/size]


[size=small]Known Bugs:[/size]

• Crash on death and sleep.
• All skills are forgotten on respawn.
• Skill Book is consumed even if it doesn't teach you anything new.
• Crash external skill trigger (e.g. from an item).
• Incompatibility with the other skills mod (class with the same name).

All fixed. Also "Skill Learnt" is now "Skill Acquired" so people aren't bothered about that whole learnt vs. learned thing. The code is also perfectly clean now.
As of 1.2, the skills bar in the HUD won't show if empty and skills that can't be used will darken. Conditions and the targeting system will come in the next update or something.

[size=large]SteamBikes[/size]
This mod started as my entry for the steampunk contest thing. I only had 2 afternoons to work on it so I left a lot of features out and kept some minor bugs in. The tough part (which is also the part I'm worst at) was the model and the textures and took up about 90% of the time. This is generally less advance than the lawnmower mod. (At first I was gonna do this clockwork mob thing but it would take too long )

The 1.0.0 version includes two bikes, the Maroon Marauder (normal speed, low fuel consumption - ideal for long distance travel) and the Black Widow (texture by Recoded) (high speed and fast acceleration but high fuel consumption too).

The new Black Widow bike skin:

[size=small]Outdated Videos[/size]


That shift+click bug has been fixed and you no longer need a key to mount it. Right-click to mount and LCTRL + Right-click to open the GUI. More animations have been added and now half your fall damage is absorbed by the bike at all times if you're on it. Still no HUD and I don't think I'll code one.

Oh and I was inspired by this.

[size=large]ParAPI[/size]

Yeah I kinda stole the idea for the name from ShockAhPI that _303 came up with.
I shot a 20+ min video explaining absolutely everything that took ages to render, then Camtasia decided to screw with me and deleted the thing so I just put the source code with some documentation in the download for now until I re-record it tomorrow.

If there's anything you, Mr. Modder, find hard about modding, tell me and I'll make it easier and add it to the API.

ParAPI includes:

Heads-up Display (HUD) API

• Allows you to cleanly and properly render multiple custom HUDs simultaneously.
Animated Textures API

• Enables you to create high quality textures, that animate at a speed you decide, in just two lines of code and a single png with any number of frames.
Chat color interface

• Lets you manipulate chat strings, both client and server-side, and change the colours of any part of the chat text intuitively and quickly. Useful for NPC text etc.
Auto Block/Item ID Assigner

• Have a tiny mod and can't be bothered to make it read the IDs for just a few blocks and items from a props file? ParAPI will handle it for you and get free IDs.
Timer Interface

• Adds a tick-based timer system (takes account of lag and game pause) combined with useful methods and an event handling system. A single timer instance could even go on for something like 4 years and reset itself indefinitely. The possibilities are endless. (NBT save coming eventually)
NPC API

• Coming soon - Will include AIML-based artificial intelligence and regex + a file format I've developed for speech and interaction. See preview videos (or go on #risucraft and talk to Nova).
Advanced GUI API

• Coming soon - See preview videos. Many people say they like the GUI stuff I do so I thought up a system to make it easier.

[size=large]Animated Particles API[/size]
A tool for modders that adds a load of pre-set particle animations to the game that can be used anywhere and at any event. Shouldn't really interest you unless you're a modder.

[size=large]Unobtanium - Development ceased[/size] because something similar already exists

This mod adds a block that, when placed, enables all the blocks that it touches directly (and the ones touching those) to actually float. For now the block can be sat on and moved like a boat in any horizontal direction moving the other blocks with it. Completely lag-free. The current structure size limit is 100 blocks but I'll probably make it 1000 on release. This is so that you don't dislodge your entire world if you accidentally place it on the floor.

It was initially intended to be a group of blocks like ship helms and spacecraft steering wheels to move ships and spacecrafts. As you can see there's still quite a few stuff I need to do. C:

For those of you who were wondering, I've finished ant colony AI (tile entities ftw) and have moved on to doing beehives. Will release eventually.

If you liked any of the aforementioned (or even if you don't) comment on this thread! Do it now. I'll wait for you. Go on, do it.

I wish they got rid of the snapshots.

They're not for you. They're not for you to have fun. They're explicitly for providing a testing environment (for bugs) to a larger testgroup. IF YOU WANT SNAPSHOTS TO CONSTANTLY BE FILLED WITH FEATURES, THEN WAIT UNTIL THE UPDATE AND PRETEND THEY DON'T EXIST. It is literally as simple as that.

Three years ago, people were glad when an update came out, no matter what was in it. Now? People in this community whine because they aren't getting massive amounts of content on a weekly basis.

Right now, Wither Skeletons only spawn in Nether Fortresses. People have been asking for more features to be added to the Nether, and as of now all the features in the Nether are in Nether Fortresses except for glowstone, Zombie Pigmen, and Ghasts. Nether Fortresses have Nether Bricks, Blazes (necessary for potions), Nether Warts, and right now Wither Skeletons as well. Why should half of all the features of the Nether be all in Nether Fortresses? I don't know about you, but whenever I go to the Nether it is almost always to find a Nether Fortress. In addition to that, Wither Skeletons right now only drop a Wither Skeleton Skull 2.5% of the time. That's a 1 in 40 chance of you getting a Wither Skeleton Skull. For those of you who haven't done the math, that means you need to kill an average of 120 Wither Skeletons to summon the Wither. I spent a half-hour in a Nether Stronghold and found 3 Wither Skeletons. Do the math - I don't know about you, but I don't have enough time to hunt down 120 or more Wither Skeletons just to summon a boss.



All this points to a very simple solution: Move Wither Skeletons out of Nether Fortresses. This would increase how common they are, and give players a reason to explore more of the Nether beyond just Nether Fortresses. It's a very simple idea, but a very effective solution. In addition, this is a way to get a hostile mob into the nether. Right now the most common mob is neutral, and Ghasts are fairly rare. Wither Skeletons would give a reason to make the player cautious. All a player really has to watch out for wandering around the nether now is lava and the occasional Ghast. They would spawn about as commonly as Endermen do now in the Overworld. NOTE: This would not stop Wither Skeletons from spawning inside Nether Fortresses, as the name probably implies (sorry). It would just allow them to spawn everywhere, including both inside and outside Nether Fortresses.


Rinnsal has added this as an optional feature to his Nether mod! If you want to check out how this idea would work in the Nether while having some really cool new Nether items as well, check out his mod here: NetherStuffs 0.19 by Rinnsal The download link is at that page, along with a mod review video and a description of all the awesome stuff in the mod. I highly recommend it! Additionally, Builderb0y has created a mod that allows Wither Skeletons to spawn everywhere in the Nether without all that extra stuff. Here's the download link: http://www.mediafire...a7ttstxokee2puv Just put it into the minecraft.jar and you're done.

Quote from goomonster3

it was a nice mod!!!! but pls can u update it too mine craft 1.2.4!??? i was having great fun with this mod but now i can't coz i have mine craft 1.2.4

A couple of things:

1. Grammar- "too" is used when in context for an ammount, or also(ex. "Can i come too?" "There where too many" etc.)
2."It was a nice mod" is not very specific. For all we know, you could be talking about somekind of homosexual intercourse mod that uses modloader mp.
3. never, and i mean NEVER pester a mod maker about updating a mod. In most cases it just makes them want to take longer to spite you.
4. Modloader only just updated, and modloader mp needs modloader to run. Most of the other mods also need modloader or modloader mp to run. There is a chain of progression in minecraft when it comes to updating mods.

I did some stuff with Zipline, redownload please.

Quote from Pengasius

Well two strings above eachother is supposed to output a rope according to the original mod version, right? It might have been changed to another recipe probably... but i don't know...

Thanks alot for updating this mod, and your replies! It is definitly something that should truly be considered to be Vanilla.

EDIT: Also i've tried with modloader, it's even worst. made the game crash this time. Deleted META-INF.

Post the crash.

Modloader IS NOT BROKEN! tested with a fresh MC install, Modloader, Audiomod, Arrows Mod, Spawner Gui and Minecraft loads my worlds just fine.

Quote from Marsvinet

because Mojang are practically adding forge to the game in 1.2.3. "Added new world file format called “Anvil” (256 max height and 4096 block IDs*)"

Unless Mojang did something to fix the sprite issue, what you just said has nothing to do with the problem you said it in response to.

In MC v1.1, there were, I believe, 88 item sprite indices available for use by mods. These are limited spaces on the MC item sprite sheet which are used up by items added from various mods, and by Minecraft items. Similarly, there are terrain sprites, which are the textures for blocks in Minecraft. One of the most important features of the Forge API, by far, is giving modders the ability to code their mods in such a way as not to take up these limited resources. SDK's Guns, adding a rather large amount of new items, cannot be used with a significant number of other non-Forge-using mods because these other mods don't have enough available item sprites to run.

I don't know every single detail of the Anvil system, so if there's some sprite-solving addition that I'm unaware of, awesome. Even if this is the case, though, your post only mentions that the world height is being increased (which has absolutely nothing to do with Forge) and that there are now 4,096 available block ids (which also has nothing to do with Forge, as it never added new block ids. It simply allowed modders to implement more content while using fewer block ids). These two additions do not amount, in any way, shape, or form, to "practically adding forge to the game in 1.2.3".

Everyone stop asking for 1.2 or the thread will be locked again like 1.8. SDK has a life and he doesn't prioritize your petty mod needs over his essential needs. I agree his mods are THE best out there, but please have some patience and don't waste time asking for updates when they wont come right away.
