Risugami posted a message on Risugami's Mods - Updated.

Everything updated for 1.6.2. The mods directory will now be located in the same directory as minecraft jar, unless the default game directory is changed, where it will act like it had on older versions.

Read this entire post. All of it. Downloading the mods means you agree to the disclaimer. You can skip the FAQ, but if you have an issue, consult it first, before consulting us. If you have an issue answered in the FAQ or this post itself, we won't help you. At all. We reserve the right to ignore dumbasses who do not pay attention to the big bold text. Completely and utterly, ignore them. To all of you who are good boys and girls, I suggest you ignore them too, should they post.

Modding now has its own IRC channel on esper.net, #risucraft.

Disclaimer: These mods require altering minecraft.jar, and SMP may not work with these mods installed. Some of these mods add new content, do not load worlds with this new content if the respective mod is not installed. I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer, worlds, or your copy of Minecraft. That said, backup your worlds and bin folder!

ModLoader 1.6.2
A mod, kind of like a mod manager, that stops conflicts with mods that alter rendering, recipes, add entities, gui, smeltables or fuel. If you're a modder, feel free to decompile this and learn how to make mods work with it. Inherit BaseMod and override any methods as necessary. The mod's main class file should be prefixed with 'mod_'. Read the Javadoc for information on methods available.

Elemental Arrows 1.6.2
The Elemental Arrows mod adds four new types of arrows; explosive arrows, fire arrows, ice arrows, and a joke weapon, egg arrows.. They are crafted the same way as normal arrows, but the head is replaced based on the element; gunpowder for explosive, coal for fire, snowball for ice, and egg for, well, egg. Crafting an explosive arrow only gives you one arrow, and it explodes upon impact. Crafting a fire arrow gives you one arrow, that will ignite stuff upon impact. Crafting an ice arrow gives you one arrow, that will freeze water into ice, lava springs into obsidian, put out fire, and break torches. Egg arrows spawn chickens upon impact with the ground, but there's a secret too. Lightning arrows strike lightning where ever they hit, use diamond in recipe. Homing bow recipe is same layout as regular bow, but diamond instead of sticks. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

Type [time] into a sign, and it will show the current time. You can also type [x], [y], or [z] and find the current position of the sign in regards to that axis. [a|b] is a redstone input function for signs, where text replacing 'a' will be shown when the sign is powered, otherwise 'b' is shown. Type [light], and it will show you the current light level of the sign's position. [biome], [temp], [humid] each tell you the biome you're in, the temperature of that area, and the humidity of that area, respectively. [temp], [humid] will no longer function in Nether.

Death Chest 1.6.2
When you die, if you have a chest in your inventory, it will be placed where you die, or in the closest available spot. The chest will be filled with as many items as possible. Items stored in the crafting slot are still lost, as usual, and any excess that won't fit in the chest will be dropped.

AudioMod 1.6.2(Not updated for now)
AudioMod is an upgrade of sorts, and a modder's utility. Included in this mod is CodecIBXM, created by Paul at www.paulscode.com, who is the creator of the sound system used in Minecraft. It allows Minecraft to play (in addition to ogg, wav, and mus files), xm, s3m, and mod files. The only readily available feature of this mod is the ability to add new music, however, it adds support for modders to add new records and sound effects. There is a slight increase in load time when using this mod. Using this, you can also use custom sounds, alongside the originals. Custom music and sound goes into the resources folder, music in mod/music. Custom sounds go into mod/sound. For example, if I were to add a new footstep sound effect to stone, I'd put the new stone1.ogg in mod/sound/step. In game, the new sound would occasionally be played, alongside the originals. Custom sounds for things like the menu click and water do not always work, at the moment.

Quote from Trenix

You're misinterpreting effect with special effect.

But it is something you see. You don;t see effects, you see special effects. He also said it doesn't work to great in screenshots, which also implies that it is not only visual, but animated.

BioRules posted a message on Notch can keep on his project.

Quote from AliStarr

How do you know it is?

Pure speculation. But what can he do in 2 weeks? Its not enough time to make a full game, and they already have 3 in development. He focuses around minecraft while others in his company work on the other two, so it seems like he will be working for 2 weeks on something for minecraft. A "secret friday" update perhaps? (Possibly not actually on a friday, but similar to his previous ones a year ago)

BC_Programming posted a message on How 1.8 has affect my views of Mojang

Quote from Smashingzwan

-Notch takes 2 week break from Minecraft development during crunch time of 1.8 release to work on another game.

Considering that from the sounds of things, the last remaining features are in Jens court, this makes sense. Besides, contrarians typically are huge fans of Jens and would prefer that he worked on minecraft rather than Notch anyway.

-Notch details why his cash shop would destroy the Minecraft community if those who played the game on steam couldn't access it.

And> (I'm not sure what you mean here? How does this make you lose respect for Mojang? Have you ever read the requirements for getting something on steam? You damn near have to sell your soul to Valve, and in Notch's case, he's already married.

-1.8 is arriving later than expected, and it doesn't appear that we'll be getting a "complete" 1.8 for some time to come. (Lets not forgot we've still got bugfixes and promises from previous updates that haven't materialized yet) [/b]

As others have said, there was no release date, so "later than expected" is purely subjective. And the various PAX videos are showcasing new features. There is no reason for them to go around "oh and we fixed this bug" Because that just isn't interesting. Honestly I've never understood the fascination players have with the bugs and how they instantly make the software ****. None of them are game-breaking or make worlds unplayable (anymore) so while fixing them is important, not fixing them wouldn't be the end of the world. (And given the material I've read of their twitters and Blogs, it would seem that they did fix many bugs since 1.7.3).

He is, to the average Minecrafter, the dude who made/developed/invented the game (regardless of whether it's true).

If it's not true- than what is? Calling it an "infiniminer clone" would be outright stupid, because minecraft is nearly completely different from infiniminer. it would be like calling all FPS games Doom clones. While there is an ounce of truth there, that ounce get's pretty bloody diluted.

and also due to Notchs own inability to put his ego aside and set people straight about the true nature of the games development.

Now it is a group effort, with Notch and Jens working on it. It was, originally, just him, so... I'm not sure what your understanding of Minecrafts early days are, but they sound inaccurate. Notch has tried to tell people that he isn't the only one working on the game but the fans never listen so he gave up.

[b]From Notchs twitter~[/b]
[b]Jens will be the lead minecraft dev for a while because of a super secret project I will be working on for two weeks.[/b]

Yes, you read that correct. Notch is "taking a break" (as if he hasn't had enough) from Minecraft to work on an entirely different project...

Typically, when you place something in quotes, you are quoting something. in this case, there is no mention of a break in the twitter so not sure what you are quoting. Obviously you are paraphrasing his statement for your own self-serving ends, which in this case is to try to vilify him in some manner.

I'd imagine Notch is wealthy enough from Minecraft sales alone that he doesn't *need* to produce a new game right away from any sort of financial point of view.

Ha... you just did exactly the same thing you bitched about before, and ignored the true nature of the games development. More importantly, it doesn't matter how much money a company has, the very purpose of their existence is to make games. Profit may be the point of the venue, but that doesn't mean they base their R&D and the creation of other products purely on how healthy their bottom-line is. If a company was to do that, they'd screw themselves.

Let's not forget he's involved in the development of the more recently announced Mojang title "Scrolls" as well.

What's your point? I don't think he's a coder for that game, though.

[b]Even though Minecraft development seems slow and unsatisfying these days, Notch is of the opinion that he has no real obligation to help speed the progress along. Instead he chooses to enter weekend long game contests and work on his other (non-minecraft) game projects.[/b]

Dude, we paid him 15 euros. We didn't buy his soul.

To any person with a conscious, that mountain of wealth (earned from Minecraft sales) would be an incredible motivator to complete the project that so many millions have paid him [b]in good faith[/b] to complete.

Honestly, I'd like to say I have a conscience, but reading egocentric posts by my fans like this would only serve to strengthen my understanding of the "unpleasable fanbase" trope. Most of the people who bought the game have been through at least one update, and those that haven't are probably far more patient in regards to the games development. Also, I like to think of the price being for the software. Updates are just a perk. Besides I recall that the price is lower for beta was lower for alpha in the case that minecraft stopped being developed for whatever reason. That is, people purchasing the game in Alpha and Beta got a discount because they effectively weren't buying a finished product.

Yes, we knowingly purchased a product that was incomplete, but that purchase also included a promise of continued development for an unnamed period of time. Unfortunately we were never given any sort of development schedule and the guys at Mojang seem to be cool with a decidedly lazy approach to pretty much everything concerning Minecraft.

How so? It takes time to develop. Notch, and Mojang are not perfect. That is not surprising. What is surprising is that there are people that are surprised. Considering many games take years to develop, all we've done is get a sneak preview of it by buying it in beta (or for some, Alpha, or even indev).

[b]Wait, 1.8 is delayed, is probably going to come to us in incomplete chunks, and there's no mention of resolving any of the longstanding bugs/issues that we've been dealing with? (pistons pushing pistons, redstone wiring circuit-autocomplete, etc)[/b]

1.8 isn't finished yet, and it isn't released. So I don't know where you got this information from.

If the thought of Notch considering a minecraft cash shop while the game itself is still incomplete doesn't get your blood boiling...

It would be weird. Guess it's a good think he wasn't considering a minecraft cash shop outside the hypothetical.

This man has gotten *RICH* off of an incomplete game and is not only content to just let it putter along while the money keeps pouring in, he's trying to figure out ways to make MORE money from it.

People were bitching that the game wasn't on Steam. he responded.

I'm pretty sure the only reason that some of the features are probably being pushed to 1.9 is the same reason pistons were released in 1.7; that is, the fanbase is bitching "OMG release nao", so they'll give what they have and push what isn't yet done to a later release. If anything they care too much about the player base since they seem to do whatever they want half the time. I say they take their time and get it all done, but a lot of other players are frothing "OMG I wanna play 1.8" and complaining about possible release dates being pushed back (all of which are mostly rumour anyway), so they package up some of what they've done into an update to try to appease them in the meantime.

How the **** is minecraft "emotional"? Anybody who feels it is a topic worth passionate argument is a ****ing loser.

I don't know if it's been said, from the looks of This Image, there's going to be Netherrack and Stone(?) Stairs. Also, that's maybe Fence Gates to the left of the ladder? Being next to the fence, I mean I'm just kind of guessing. Jeb said that Fence Gates would be available in this version, as well.

Cornylemon posted a message on Beta 1.8 Discoveries

Okay, so I was listening to the livestream and thought I'd write down all the information they were giving out. This was extremely difficult to do because the video quality was really bad and the voices were mostly muffled, like you were listening through a wall. Here's what I heard:

When creating a world, you can choose between playing in creative mode(where all items are avaliable, like in Classic) or in the adventure mode, I think. In creative mode, you can fly without any mods.
TNT can now be set on fire to explode.
It was mentioned that you could now pick up TNT and place it down again without having it explode. This makes me think that the only way to make it explode is with fire.
You can press the W key twice in a row to sprint.
Holding down the mouse while firing a bow will allow you to charge it.
Hitting a mob causes a particle to come out. It looked like an X, kind of like sparkles.
When chasing you, the Endermen seem to stay a few blocks away from you, like how a zombie or other hostile mob chases you. I think I saw green and white eyes, and they might have changed color, but I can't remember.
In addition to rivers, there are ravines.
There are abandoned mines with wood and minecart tracks.
The sky dimension was mentioned, but it was too difficult to understand what they were saying.
Villages are kind of small, with gravel paths going down them, wheat and watermelon farms, and small wooden houses. Notch blew one up with TNT. Villagers haven't been added yet.
It seems like you can cycle through the time in Creative, but I'm not 100% sure.
Mods were mentioned, which I assume has something to do with mod support.
Mob-taming was also mentioned, and Notch replied that they hadn't really thought about it (not totally sure if this is what he said, it was unclear and muffled as usual). He was talking about it for a minute, if it matters.
When you eat, you munch on the food for a few seconds and particles fly out of it. It seems like it takes longer to heal.
There's a fancy-pants new menu screen with a nice background. It's a fly-around of a world (I'm guessing this is like the Aether mod where it rotates around the last world you were in)
It was mentioned that Endermen might drop diamonds, but I think Notch might have stated that they don't.

Mystify posted a message on Everything in 1.8 HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE

Quote from deedvanick

I'm not saying that mojang should stop development/stop themselves from fleshing out the game/etc

You said EXACTLY that.

Quote from deedvanick

IMO Mojang should stop adding new content to Minecraft

Quote from deedvanick

I'm trying to say that they should focus primarily on the games infrastructure/gameplay mechanics/the mod API/ETC
of course Notch and his team are going to add whatever they feel should go into vanilla, but I believe that true satisfaction would come from what you want to have in the game (AKA mods) therefore mods should be focusing on content (There's a mod that balances the effect of custom tools and the breaking speed of custom blocks but I forget what it was called >_<) since with modded content everyone gets to pick and choose what they want in the game.

Minecraft modding is unlike modding in other games, there is a RIDICULOUS amount of Minecraft mods with a HUGE varity and this is mostly due to the fact that minecraft is a very flexible game, this is a game where all of the flavors come from the community and not the developer, with mods anything is possible in your Minecraft and that's why I think Notch should pay a lot more attention to modding (Increasing block IDs, compatibility, simple mod adding/disabling GUI like in some other games)

I assert that there is a lot of value in a cohesive design. The modders aren't even talking to each other, much less marching to the same drummer. You can find a bunch of elements you want in the game, but they are not likely to be balanced against each other. Notch has had a vision of what the game should do for years. I have paid close attention to what he has said about it. He has been slowly working towards that goal, building up the framework he needed. Now that he is taking strong strides what minecraft was intended to be, you are stepping in and say "Hey, cut that out! I can get all the content I want elsewhere, just make an engine!". You should be able to play minecraft without ever needing to touch a mod to get a fulfilling experience. Part of that is adding new content, in a way that is cohesive andplanned out. They can integrate the various game elements with each other in a way that will never happen with mods.

Mojang HAS been primarily focused on the engine and gameplay mechanics. Even the 1.8 update promises a lot of improvement to the engine and the gamepaly mechanics. They incorporated the pistons mod in part becuase it was an engine change that they felt was better supported. Notch is making the terrain height easily modifyable in mods. Now that they are actually adding some fresh content, you are complaining.

I'm all for options in a game. options are great. But they should be optional. You should be able to never once look at the options, take the default, and be greeted with a perfectly functional game. If you have more fun cracking open the options and tweaking them, they are there, but the default should stand on its own. Hence, mojang should develop minecraft to it's fullest potential. The engine and such are part of that developement, but they should not put any extra focus on it just because mods exist. They are offering support for Mods, which is fine and dandy, but they should in no way weaken the core game because of them.
