Hey fellow minecrafters!
This is the page for my first official mod, AbyssalCraft.
Description
This mod has been a small project for a couple of months, it's a forge based mod, requiring that you have minecraft forge installed before you can use it. What the mod does is that it adds new content to the game that changes how the overworld looks like, since it adds a new biome and new mobs that populate the overworld. Along with that comes a dimension. The dimension has similarities of being a darker avatar of the overworld, populated by undead creatures, who appear in the overworld aswell, at certain biomes.
The idea with the mod is to expand the limits of the game, with a 4th dimension (counting the overworld as a dimension), with new creatures who have their own special abilities. A plan for future content is to have another 2 dimensions laced together with the first one, creating a 3 layer realm filled with darkness and perhaps some interesting things.
Features
| • | 2 new types of stone, called "Darkstone" (It's 20% stronger than regular stone), and "Abyssal Stone" (generates within The Abyss, and currently have no use at all except decorations) |
| • | New tools, two types so far, darkstone and abyssalnite |
| • | A new type of armor (made from abyssalnite ingots) |
| • | A new biome, called "Darklands" which has trees and random generated structures within |
| • | New mobs, so far there's three, the "Dephs Ghoul", the "Abyssal Zombie", and a pig that's very evil (decoy of the regular pig) |
| • | A new dimension, The Abyss, that's currently a pretty empty place, with the exception of 100 block high pillars of obsidian along with all the mobs that spawn in there (most overworld ones, but also Dephs Ghouls and Abyssal Zombies) |
| • | Two new ores, known as Abyssalnite and Coralium |
| • | A new type of tnt that's alot stronger, and can cause a lot of lag when primed (demands [i]a lot[/i] of resources to craft) |
That should conclude all the features so far, I have alot more I'm gonna add, and I don't mind suggestions
Future Content
| • | Structures within the dimension |
| • | more mobs, alot more mobs |
| • | more blocks |
| • | More, stronger tools/armor |
| • | Possibly another 2 dimensions (later on) |
| • | More specific mobs spawning within The Abyss |
| • | boss mobs inside the dimension (I'm gonna have a hard time coding what I have in mind, wish me luck) |
Suggestions
| • A new type of beacon that has negative effects |
How you install the mod
(Windows)
| • | Go to http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/ and install the forge universal (either the latest one or the recomended) |
| • | Place the forge files in your minecraft.jar |
| • | download AbyssalCraft (if you haven't already) |
| • | Create a folder in the .minecraft called "mods", if you already have one, then you can skip this step |
| • | Place the zip folder containing the mod inside the mods folder |
| • | You have now successfully installed my mod |
(mac)
| 1. | To locate the minecraft folder, click the "go" tab on finder, and hold "alt", then you'll see a thing called "library", |
| 2. | when you click that, you'll se a bunch of folders, click the one named "Application Support", then the one called "minecraft" |
| 3. | in order to access the content in minecraft.jar, follow these intructions by Risugami: |
Quote from Risugami:| 1) Go to Applications>Utilities and open terminal. |
| 2) Type in the following, line by line: |
| cd~ |
| mkdir mctmp |
| cd mctmp |
| jar xf /Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar |
| 3) Outside of terminal, copy all the files and folders into the mctmp directory. |
| 4) Back inside terminal, type in the following: |
| rm META-INF/MOJANG_C.* |
| jar uf /Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ./ |
| cd .. |
| rm -rf mctmp |
| 5) Run Minecraft, enjoy! |
4. This will install forge inside of minecraft
The rest is pretty much the same as the windows one
| • | download AbyssalCraft (if you haven't already) |
| • | Create a folder in the minecraft folder called "mods", if you already have one, then you can skip this step |
| • | Place the zip folder containing the mod inside the mods folder |
| • | You have now successfully installed my mod |
Bugs
•The ODB can cause extreme lag after the explosion, it's caused because the explosion leaves thousands of "dropped block" entities, I suggest you either wait about 10 mins so that they despawn, or remove them with McEdit
Final notes
Check out my youtube channel for information regarding updates and other stuff
That should be it so far, if you have any problems, write the errors in a spoiler in the comments, and as I mentioned before, I would love some suggestions for new content to add to the mod, and I don't mind feedback. Until further notice, there won't be any pictures/videos here, since I kinda failed with setting them up correctly, click here to see the official post.
