MODPACK NOTE

There is a version of this mod made specifically for modpacks. Due to large veins of softstone, generation lags heavily, even with loads of RAM. The modpack version is the most recent on crurse!

Right now, Mini-Picks and More is a mod that contains new features and materials. It is a solo project and I have done all of the texture and code myself. Please try this mod out and give me feedback including the What should be worked on next? poll which will be updated.

This mod adds craftable mini pickaxes that the player crafts in their 2x2 crafting grid. It also adds berries as a plant that is generated across the map. For endgame, it adds 2 materials, Icosium and Likynium. Icosium is weaker than diamond, and Likynium is stronger. Mini-Tools have half the durability of their larger counter-parts.

Icosium Stats:
-Tools
Durability - 1000
Efficiency - 9.5
Harvest Level - 3
Damage - 3.5

-Armor
Total Durability - 20
Reduction Amounts - 3, 7, 6, 3 top to bottom

Icosic Gem Stats:
-Tools
Durability - 2000
Efficiency - 11
Harvest Level - 3
Damage - 5

-Armor
Total Durability - 30
Reduction Amounts - 4, 9, 8, 4, top to bottom


Likynium Stats:
-Tools
Durability - 4000
Efficiency - 15
Harvest Level - 4
Damage - 8

-Armor
Total Durability - 40
Reduction Amounts - 5, 10, 9, 6, top to bottom


Micro tools have half the durability of their regular counter-parts.

Macro tools have 5 times the durability of their regular counter-parts.

Both of these values are editable in the config

New Material Crafting:

Icosium Dust is gathered from Icosium Ore and Nether Ore that generates on levels 20-60,



The Icosium Ingots use vanilla sticks and tool recipes.


This is the crafting recipe for the icosic gem, made to craft Likynium Ingots


This is how you craft Likynium Ingots from Icosic Gems



The number of ingots you get from this recipe is editable in the config


Likynium tools are made by using Likynium ingots and Icosium Sticks and vanilla recipes.



You can also use Icosic Gems to craft Items (Including micro/macro tools)

Plants:

Cotton Plants!



Cotton will generate throughout the world and drop cotton and cotton seeds. It can be grown on grass but growing it on farmland is twice as fast

Cotton can be used in 3 recipes as of now:






Berry plants also spawn in the world. They drop berries and berry seeds. The berries give speed 1 for 15 seconds. They can also be grown on grass or farmland, growing much faster on farmland.

Half-Resource Recipies

This Recipe is for the "half-material" (is actually quarter) for wood.


A stone is the half resource for cobblestone


Diamonds and Ingots split up into 2 of their respective half ingots, these can be reverse crafted


Modded half materials are also added


Coal has a quarter material to heal dying flames!


Planks can now also be crafted with 4 sticks!

Reinforced Materials Recipes:

Mini-Tool Recipes:

This is the new recipe for all mini picks. Using the half resource and a stick


Mini-Axes have also been added, using the half resource and 2 sticks.


Mini-shovels are the last mini-tool as of this update. Crafted with one stick and half resource

Macro-Tool Recipes:

New Boat Crafting:

Fire Pit :

First you need to craft 4 stone walls


Then put them together to make a stone ring


Put a torch in the ring to get a fire pit


The fire pit will cook any food and has 5 uses



After 5 uses, it will turn into a dying flame


A dying flame can be turned back into a fire pit for 3 planks or 1 coal shard

Imagine stepping through a portal into a twilight realm, filled with trees as far as they eye can see. Breathtaking vistas and amazing discoveries await you around every corner. But beware! Not all denizens of the forest respond to your intrusion lightly.

Updated March 29th to version 2.3.5. This version supports Minecraft 1.7.10. New in this version, the Snow Queen rules over the Aurora Palace high atop the glacier, while trolls inhabit caves deep in the rock of the highlands. In addition to these new areas to explore, this version also revises the progression system to feature very visible weather effects in "locked" biomes, instead of less-visible magic effects. Version 2.3.4 adds a /tfprogress command to advance a player's progress, as well as hint monsters that may appear if you're struggling with the progression system. Version 2.3.5 fixes bugs, adds the knightmetal block-and-chain tool and adds a bit of new swamp scenery.

If you haven't played one of the 2.0 versions, there is a new progression system. See the details on the wiki page.

Getting There:
To make a portal to the Twilight Forest, make a 2 x 2 shallow pool (4 squares) of water in a grassy area, and surround it entirely with natural stuff. Flowers, mushrooms or tall grass. Then throw a diamond in (with the "Q" key, by default) and stand back!

It should look a little like this:

[represent]

This mod is something designed to add small features, but still keeping that vanilla flavour on your game. Since most of those features are related to villagers, I named it "Villager Tweaks".

Every feature can be enabled or disabled on the config file, so you only use what you want.

Version 2.2 - The Persistence Update!

• Added achievements;
• Iron golem skin display how damaged they are - 2 overlays added, applied over the regular skin;
• Named pumpkins creates named iron/snow golems;
• Villager that gets zombified will keep custom name (and persistence);
• Villager that gets zombified will keep keep profession - 5 new skins added;
• Cured zombie villagers preserve custom name and profession;

Credits

Many current and upcoming features of this mod are heavily inspired by suggestions from the community. I'll add the names here every time I implement something new:

• Iron golem skin shows damage - Inspired by Raduloket's suggestion (Iron Golems Show Cracks When Damaged);
• Zombie villager clothes - Inspired by CursedGhast's suggestion (Zombie Villagers Now Have Actual Villager Clothes!)

Open Source

I learned a lot doing Minecraft mods, and a great part of that was done seeing other people's work.

Quote from Raduloket»

Okay, this is a thing I've been noticing as I've delved deeper into custom configurations... changing a mob that normally spawns as a creature to a monster results in insane overpopulation. Take the Joust and Joust Alpha from Lycanites' Mobs: the Alpha is aggressive, so I changed it to a monster in the hopes of spawning less of them, and somehow all I spawn now is Alphas, with nary a regular Joust to be found. Likewise, I can override a creature's spawn conditions using JAS, but if I don't, strange things will happen. Slimes will spawn uncontrollably during the day in a Flat world, filling up the monster cap until they despawn.

So, there's a learning curve when adding creatures that have native spawning behavior. Skeletons don't spawn in light unless you make them do so, and even a spawn weight of 1 is going to spawn out of control if there's nothing else to compete with it during the day(when monsters typically don't spawn due to high light levels).

These are mostly just observations, no real question involved... but if anyone wants to suggest some spawning tags to keep the teleporting Wizrobes of Zelda Sword Skills from slaughtering me in my house regularly, I wouldn't turn down the suggestion.
