Small suggestion for your FAQ section on the first post of the thread: To appease morons like "Davve" above, you could add a line and a link to the tool for restoring .jar associations so that jar files run like executables: http://www.jonelo.de/java/jarfix/
Since people like that usually aren't educated enough to fix a file association the normal way. :/
Then again, people like him probably couldn't handle downloading and running that program either, so maybe it's not important.
I tried it on a fresh jar and the patch went smoothly. Mod is awesome, landscapes are gorgeous, as well as interiors. There's one small thing I noticed though. If you place lightstone (haven't checked with torches yet) beside water, the lighting is smooth on the shore, and blocky in the water. This isn't a complaint, just a minor bug report. Hope it helps.
I really think if there were a mod of the year, this should be it. It is just the best.
Your logic is heavily flawed. You are telling me that the ACT of infringing copyrighted material is legal.
No, I'm telling you that until Notch claims someone is infringing his copyrighted material, and a court upholds that claim, no infringement has taken place.
In any case, this has been argued to death, and Notch hasn't taken any kind of action against anyone, so we should both stop hijacking this thread. It's completely irrelevant to MrMessiah's mods since he's changed to a patcher anyway.
Actually, yes, ALL (most) MODS ARE ILLEGAL!!!... technically. As ALL (most) mods use some sort of modified "Copyrighted" or "Commercial" code. if the modder used a decompiler it's illegal.
Contrary to popular belief, Notch not liking something doesn't make it illegal. There *could* be a copyright infringement, or there *could* be a breach of license terms, but neither of those is what people understand as "illegal", and until it is tested in court, with a judgment in favour of Notch, it isn't illegal. Not going to happen. Notch has more sense than to start suing players for increasing the popularity of his game, for free!

What you can do:
If you've bought the game, you may play around with it and modify it. I'd appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to distribute the changes.
Any tools you write for the game from scratch belong to you.
You're free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of the game, but don't just rip art resources and pass them around.
Plugins for the game also belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them, including selling them for money.
That Notch hasn't done anything to hinder the modding community so far implies at least acceptance of it on his part. His license terms make exceptions for digging around in the code, and your post makes me think you've never even read it. The bit about using a decompiler making modding illegal is just silly.
TL;DR: Notch may not like it too much, but that doesn't make it illegal, and it's up to him to hurry up and provide a proper modding API, if he wants to change the status quo.
There's still a lot of unpredictability about what mods and combinations of mods will work. If you're trying to use it with other mods, try changing the order of installation and see if that helps. That all said, there are some bugs in the Skymod, but it shouldn't cause a crash.
Does it crash on a freshly created world too, or just previously played ones?
Sounds like that's what he means. It would be cool to have a larger field of view on high res screens.
For everyone waiting on the day/night mod (which I'm starting to think is dead, Assassians4hire hasn't been on in a week) there's now this: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=63448
It does a lot more than just the day/night setting, but seems very functional so far, even with the ambient occlusion and minimap mods.
The blue tile in row 1 column 15 is the interior fill of the portals to the nether.
Thanks. Not sure what's going on yet, but I can't get any change to it to have an impact ingame. Yet anyway. Do you know anything about changing the portal appearance ingame?

The mod probably needs updating for 1.1.02.
Eagerly awaiting an update. This is one of the most useful SSP mods I've ever seen, especially for the waypoints.

Hey0's dns records have been in flux, so it wasn't just me having difficulty accessing his site, but I can say both links are working now on my end.
@PAL-18 - Pretty sure anyone who can use /warp can use any warps that are set. I know admins/ops can go to any in the list.

That link won't resolve for me, but he can also try: http://hey0.net/get.php?dl=serverbeta&list

b130 is working well for me so far. Thanks to you and the other devs for your hard work!

Only other mods i'm using are SimpleMap/Ambient Occlusion.
Edit: nvm. It's a side effect of stopping time (always day). I can live with that.
