Introduction:
QuantumCraft introduces four new "dimensions" from Quantum Conundrum:

• Fluffy
• Heavy
• Slow-Mo
• Anti-Gravity

These are different from Minecraft dimensions such as the End or the Nether.
Each dimension affects the world in some way while it is active.
QuantumCraft also adds ways to switch between dimensions both locally and remotely.

Non-Forge Installation:
(The less buggy way)

• Install Risugami's Modloader into your minecraft.jar
• IMPORTANT: INSTALL MODLOADER BEFORE QUANTUMCRAFT! (yes, someone made this mistake)
• Download QuantumCraft from the link at the top of this post.
• Place the files into your minecraft.jar
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE THE ZIP FILE INTO THE MODS FOLDER!
• Delete the META-INF folder from the minecraft.jar
• Launch Minecraft.

Forge Installation:
(The more buggy way)
DISCLAIMER: Forge compatibility is not fully functional! Please report any bugs and follow this installation guide carefully!

• Install Forge by following the instructions for whichever version of forge you are using.
• Download QuantumCraft from the link at the top of this post.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE THE ZIP FILE INTO THE MODS FOLDER!
• Place the files into your minecraft.jar (yes, I am aware that forge is supposed to make this not necessary - do it anyway)
• Launch Minecraft.

Mod Compatibility:
This mod edits a large number of base classes, making it incompatible with many complex mods.
This mod does not require Minecraft Forge, although it is mostly compatible.
Texturepack:
Note: Major texture changes in 1.5 have made this texture pack out of date since build 31 - sorry.
Hugobdesigner made a texturepack for this - see his thread here!
Known Bugs:

• CONFIRMED IN BUILD 42 Glove keybindings don't save when you reload Minecraft. This is a ModLoader bug. I'm hoping that it will be fixed soon there, but if not I'll fix it here.
• CONFIRMED IN BUILD 42 The configuration file isn't used. Reasons currently unknown.

Todo List:
Not attempted yet:

1. Make something happen when a safe/box falls on the player
2. Fans
3. More Animated Textures (partially done for build 43)
4. Robots (on Minecraft rails)
5. GUI readout of dimension switching options
6. Desmond
7. Dimension region selection
8. Trampolines
9. Other miscellaneous puzzle elements.

Not going to be done:

1. Music Disks (not being done for legal reasons)

Attempted, but ridiculously difficult:

1. Fix safe/box collision so that safes can be ridden.

Support:
If you want to support this mod, please post in this thread! Doing so lets me know that people actually use the mod, and helps me get new features tested and released faster.
If I have not yet said anything about updating to the latest version of Minecraft, feel free ask me when I'll do it! Yes, this goes against what most modders ask for, but 90% of this project is motivation, and knowing that someone wants it updated will make it get updated faster.

Copyright:

My mod, QuantumCraft, implements many of the game mechanics from the puzzle game Quantum Conundrum. These effects include selective time dilation and anti-gravity, just to name a few. The required number of base edits to make this work is somewhere around a hundred different class modifications. Due to the non-typical nature of these changes, Forge doesn't provide the required hooks to make this easily written as a Forge mod.
My original release did not use Forge - Forge didn't help with anything, so there was no real point in using it. Currently, there are a small number of places (Liquids) where Forge would be able to help my mod, but again Forge doesn't help with the majority of my modifications.
Additionally, I have seen (although I can't remember where) people who won't use mods if they require the use of Forge, and therefore I don't want to require it.
However, I have realized that Forge compatibility is a very useful feature - my mod currently IS (mostly) compatible with Forge. This compatibility is still buggy, but it shows that a mod can be compatible without requiring Forge. At the same time, it was a very difficult process to do this - it required massive amounts of work to move all the base class modifications out of the files that Forge modifies.

In terms of other mods, it is useful to note that many mod creators never wrote their mod for Forge, and don't want the extra work of porting it or making it compatible.
Another thing to note is that Modloader and Forge are not mutually exclusive. Forge includes FML (Forge Mod Loader) which emulates the same interface as Modloader. This means that many pure-addition mods (mods that only add blocks and items and don't cause any changes to existing game mechanics) can be designed to work with Modloader and also work with Forge.

The main mods that may not want to be compatible with Forge are mods that modify Minecraft's game mechanics in ways that the Forge creators haven't anticipated. QuantumCraft is one example of this.
However, any Tech mods (for example Buildcraft, RedPower2, IndustrialCraft, etc.) should probably use Forge - this seems to be the main kind of mod that Forge is designed for, and these mods generally don't need other kinds of base changes.

Quote from marpet0805

it feels like buildcraft or something but i think those stuff is usefull...i will test it(my goal is to get 100 mods but now i have 59-60 'half way)

What do you mean by "it feels like buildcraft"?
Are you talking about block themes, what it provides, or what?

It's probably also useful to note that this mod is notoriously incompatible with many other mods. If it does end up working, can you post a list of what mods it works with?

Also - my current status is still: waiting for 1.5

EDIT ADDITION:
I just found out that at least three sites appear to have copied a previous version of this thread's first post. They contain a partial, outdated description, do not contain my copyright notice, contain ads on the page, and use an adf.ly link for downloading that is not associated with my adf.ly account.
It looks somewhat like these sites were automatically generated, meaning that if I contact them to take down the page, a different site will probably come back up with the exact same content. (They contain a large number of copied minecraft mods, not just mine)
This is annoying and a violation of my copyright (they're distributing the mod without permission and making money from it), but it doesn't seem to be hurting me and it looks like too much work to take my mod down from these mirroring sites.
Does anyone else have knowledge or experience about this?

Sorry for the hiatus - I'll probably have much more free time after March 9th once our first FRC regional is over.
(I did warn that I'd be on hiatus, right?)

I fixed most of the current bugs, and will put up release 7 shortly.

Mod Compilation Policy
Due to the alarming number of new modpacks wanting to include RedPower lately,
and my inability to possibly evaluate and answer everyone asking, I've decided
to cut way back on allowing it.

Here's the deal:
- Established modpacks or private server packs only. If your post
count is below 100, and your modpack is less than a month old, I'll just say
no. A "private server pack" refers to a modpack intended to be used by a
closed membership Minecraft server and distributed only to those members.
- You must have my permission. Post on this thread.
- Proper credit and attribution. "RedPower by Eloraam", with a link to this thread, is a suitable example.
- Non-commercial, non-profit mod packs only. If you're going to bundle my mod, you can't use adf.ly or similar for the compilation pack. I'm OK with giving my work away, but not having someone else profit from it.

If you were to catch a glimpse of this world you would figure that someone got out of control with TNT and made a giant scar of the whole world. The results look very similar. It’s something even scarier though. Something worse. What you’re looking at is the result of human interaction with limited resources. In a very coordinated experiment 30 players spent 2-5 hours playing in a 350x350 world trapped in bedrock. To keep everything fair the server was only running when everyone was available to play. These screenshots come from 2 months after the experiment started. I would personally like to thank everyone that participated (who wished to stay anonymous). To make things more organized world chat use was discouraged unless you had a global message. Communication was to be minimal and done through third party programs. The limited/restricted communication made groups/clans/guilds possible.


The players were unaware of what I was testing; they went into the server with the following rule: “Never leave the bedrock walls”. Some players realized the challenge at hand immediately, but most were unaware of how devastating the consequences of their actions would be. First resource to go was clay, clay became completely depleted in three days. Brick houses did not last long and in most cases were impossible to complete. The loss of a resource such as clay was a small warning most players missed. In the first week trees became rare. Trees never left the map completely but wood being an essential part of game progression in Minecraft made saplings worth more. This is the point in the game where players banded together into smaller groups with the goal of working together to build stuff. Four large clans emerged. “The Brotherhood”, “The Axe”, “The Dwarves” and the most successful “Merchant’s Guild”. During this time they co-existed peacefully with minor fights over trees and saplings, most did well with their own tree farms. Strip mining began. Resources like iron were abundant and most got wasted into weapons and armor. During this time iron was running out and the only practical use of it was buckets/pickaxes for diamond and doors were plausible due to the need for protection. It should be obvious that Diamonds only use was obsidian which would be a great for protection. Diamonds being extremely rare made them already valuable, but the players being aware that the supply was limited made it a rush to find them as fast as possible. Within 2 weeks production was flying. There was a local Nether Portal which was useful because it supplied an endless resource to build with that had no repercussions upon the map. The portal didn’t make it a week, soon the obsidian was stolen by The Brotherhood and used in there castle. The Merchant’s Guild made a quick profit off of this by having the only optional Nether Portal while resources like diamonds became rarer. The Merchants Guild was efficient and used trade to strive in this harsh world. They would trade netherack/cobblestone/rare ores for usable materials such as saplings/wood/dirt/string/wool/sand/etc.


3 weeks into the expirment flowers were gone forever, sand was deplete making glass rare and hard to replace, and obsidian was un-minable for most players due to a lack of diamond. The players resorted to war to find diamonds. The four clans raided each other bases and griefed each other. This war went on for a few days and The Axe had lost their castle completely. The Brotherhood had to rebuild a very broken town. The Dwarves took minimal damage due to their underground sub-systems and the difficult nature to destroy caves. The Merchant’s Guild took no damage because they won over their fights with complex trade agreements and treaties. At this point The Axe had disbanded. Their members took to their own trying to make it on their own. This left a lot of griefing for trees and trade with the Merchant’s Guild abundant. Only two people were clearly ahead at this point, (aside from the merchant’s guild doing well too). They earned the name (pardon the language), the ****-ass griefers. These two players had immediately realized what would happen to the map on day one and began to construct an easily defendable a base that was self-sufficient and renewable. They built there base on a giant dirt platform in the sky. They made it come off of a mountain so the grass would grow onto it. When the grass had grown onto their base (A few days in), they had already acquired the needed materials for sticky pistons and buckets. They created a water elevator that could be toggled with the pistons and began destroying the mountain. They dug all the earth out from around them and made their base impossible to reach without the use of the water elevator or towering up. From the first week in they began systematically depleting resources in a way that would set the other players behind. Glass windows were broken, trees and saplings were stolen, massive amounts of dirt were farmed (the importance of this will be revealed later) and they used their power to persuade the other players. The Merchant’s Guild paid an anti-griefing tax by supplying the ****-ass griefers with materials that were rare or hard to find. It started with trees/iron/diamond and by the end of the experiment it was things like arrows/flint/string. Four weeks in strip mines had torn open a lot of the land, water was running all over the place (most people lacked buckets) and the most game-breaking element occurred; dirt was being lost. Well not dirt itself in entirety, but the good surface dirt. The dirt with GRASS on it. At this point players forgot about trees and mining but wars over surfaces with grass broke out. The Dwarves even showed interest and tried to create establishments on the surface but had trouble handling holding ground. The Merchant’s Guild had not thought ahead but began gathering as many drops from animals spawned on grass to be traded as rarities in the future. The brotherhood held a small section of grass off from griefers the most successfully. The ****-ass griefers had no trouble with this because there base was situated upon a giant floating chuck of grass, so they made it their mission to destroy all grass on the map and reserve the power of food to themselves only. The Brotherhood held their small piece of grass but were defending constantly and as a result their base became very broken and they rebuilt in a way to defend the dirt only.


Five weeks into the experiment a lot of players had lost the will to play. Most players resorted to staying underground and endless 2x1 tunnels were formed, giant chasms were found by players overmining and ultimately a large majority of cobblestone was lost through lava and the players fighting each other. Due to massive mining to and strip mines the corner of the map supporting the ****-ass griefers base sunk farther and farther down to the bedrock, leaving a noticeable drop in elevation between the two corners of the map. Buildings made out of dirt started showing up on the torn earth because most players lacked the resources to make pickaxes and couldn’t meet the prices of the Merchant’s Guild. These buildings were built with the only purpose of protection from monsters at night since the map became un-survivable during the night. At this point the large loss of land in the bottom half the map did one purpose. Eliminate the dwarves who were housed there. (I still can’t believe the amount of stone removed and lost in that area, It’s a devastating amount and continued until the 2 months were up). At this point a cycle was emerged, the players were fighting for the last bit of grass on the map (disregarding the griefers base that was inaccessible). But most of them were either trying to mine cobblestone for more trade with the Merchant’s Guild for sticks for more pickaxes or trying to survive the night in dirt houses. It was a vicious cycle that was barely profitable. But a pattern did emerge. The players were effectively working together to survive the night. While there was still rampant war and grief the players that had little had banded together to try to survive the harsh environment.


The experiment was up before more testing could be done, but I ask you. If the walls were torn down one day and the players were free to the unlimited resources of Minecraft how would they react? Do you think they would work together and try to keep all the resources balanced or would they play the same way without regard for their environment or each other? Though in Minecrafts infinite world it would be impossible to destroy everything, do you think the disaster would slowly re-occur? I think this experiment has been a successful statement on the human condition and human interaction with the environment.

Creating a mod that does not use terrain sprites

(Check out my ItemSprite API! This will remove the problems with large numbers of items with a very simple method! Here's the link: http://goo.gl/EugJ1 )

Important!
I suggest only using this method on blocks that are NOT found in the world as often as something like dirt, stone, grass, or anything else that has many blocks that are rendered in abundance, as this may cause minor to severe lag depending on the quantity. About 3 times a second, in PremiumWood, the premwood.png (texture sheet) is binded, and then the normal terrain.png is rebinded. A test in NetherCraft revealed this issue, as having simply the Netherdirt render using this method caused my fps to drop by about 30. You have been warned!
Lastly, this method has not been tested when using 3 or more mods that all use this method. If anyone would like to try this out, you may install PremiumWood, BuildCraft, and Connected Textures Mod, then place a large amount of a block from each mod and see how you're fps is doing. Please PM me if you find anything important or significant about this combination. Thank you!

It is a very simple task to create a block without using ModLoader's AddOverride method. You can override two methods found in BaseMod: RenderInvBlock, and RenderWorldBlock. You can use these methods to 'bind' a new texture that is similar to the existing terrain.png file. Some large mods have used this same method: PremiumWood (made by me), Connected Textures Mod (CTM for short, made by Morpheus(?)) and BuildCraft (by SpaceToad). This tutorial will show you how.

Prerequisites
1. Understand Java
2. Understand how to create mods for Minecraft
3. Use MCP (I will make a tutorial for non-MCP users if requested enough)

Getting Started
First, simply open up your 'mod_YourMod' file that you've been working on.

You'll want to insert this code somewhere in this file:

    public void RenderInvBlock(RenderBlocks renderblocks, Block block, int i, int j)
    {
        if(j == renderID)
        {
            RenderEngine renderengine = ModLoader.getMinecraftInstance().renderEngine;
            Tessellator tessellator = Tessellator.instance;
            renderengine.bindTexture(renderengine.getTexture("/yourDir/terrain-type-file.png"));
            block.setBlockBoundsForItemRender();
            GL11.glTranslatef(-0.5F, -0.5F, -0.5F);
            tessellator.startDrawingQuads();
            tessellator.setNormal(0.0F, -1F, 0.0F);
            renderblocks.renderBottomFace(block, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, block.getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(0, i));
            tessellator.draw();
            tessellator.startDrawingQuads();
            tessellator.setNormal(0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
            renderblocks.renderTopFace(block, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, block.getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(1, i));
            tessellator.draw();
            tessellator.startDrawingQuads();
            tessellator.setNormal(0.0F, 0.0F, -1F);
            renderblocks.renderEastFace(block, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, block.getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(2, i));
            tessellator.draw();
            tessellator.startDrawingQuads();
            tessellator.setNormal(0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
            renderblocks.renderWestFace(block, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, block.getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(3, i));
            tessellator.draw();
            tessellator.startDrawingQuads();
            tessellator.setNormal(-1F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
            renderblocks.renderNorthFace(block, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, block.getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(4, i));
            tessellator.draw();
            tessellator.startDrawingQuads();
            tessellator.setNormal(1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
            renderblocks.renderSouthFace(block, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, block.getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(5, i));
            tessellator.draw();
            GL11.glTranslatef(0.5F, 0.5F, 0.5F);
            renderengine.bindTexture(renderengine.getTexture("/terrain.png"));
        }
    }

    public boolean RenderWorldBlock(RenderBlocks renderblocks, IBlockAccess iblockaccess, int i, int j, int k, Block block, int l)
    {
        if(l != renderID)
        {
            return false;
        }
        RenderEngine renderengine = ModLoader.getMinecraftInstance().renderEngine;

        Tessellator.instance.draw();
        Tessellator.instance.startDrawingQuads();
        renderengine.bindTexture(renderengine.getTexture("/yourDir/terrain-type-file.png"));
        RenderBlocks.cfgGrassFix = false;
        boolean bool = false;
        if(l == renderID)
        {
            bool = renderblocks.renderStandardBlock(block, i, j, k);
        }
        RenderBlocks.cfgGrassFix = true;

        Tessellator.instance.draw();
        Tessellator.instance.startDrawingQuads();
        renderengine.bindTexture(renderengine.getTexture("/terrain.png"));
        return bool;
    }

Above, you need to ensure that you change all strings of "/yourDir/terrain-type-file.png" to your image file (image must be 256x256 for standard graphics). Also, this method of rendering will not work for custom block models unless you change all instances of 'RenderBlocks.renderStandardBlock' to your rendering method (or replace these lines with your rendering code). You can also set up additional variables that will call a different method from RenderBlocks. For example, in PremiumWood, doors are rendered using this method. A second renderID variable is created, then in RenderWorldBlock, an 'if' statement is used to check the renderID of a block and RenderBlocks.renderBlockDoor is called instead. This can be done with any blocks, but certain things may need changing if this is done. Hopefully you can figure it out yourself.

You will also need to declare the variable 'renderID' somewhere.

        renderID = ModLoader.getUniqueBlockModelID(this, true);

The above code will return an integer that will be used in the 'getRenderType()' method of your block file.

And, of course, don't forget to initialize your integer first:

    public static int renderID;

Next, you need to be sure your block file will use this rendering integer. Inside your block class file, you'll want 'getRenderType()' to return your custom render ID, which will be 'mod_YourMod.renderID'.
Last, but not least, you need to import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft and org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11 to your mod_YourMod class file.
That's everything! Hope this helps!
