Hello there!

I'm in the production of my first mod, the Armory Mod.

I plan to add new weapons and armor + some new ores.

At the moment, I'm searching for some suggestions for my mod. Please note that I'm a beginner and I'm just getting used to eclipse and java, so try to keep the suggestions mildly basic.

Classes of new Weapons:
-Battleaxes
-Daggers
-Broadswords

=============================================


Download for Testing

-+-+ Click here to download the Armory Mod Pre-Alpha v1.1+-+-
Number of new weapons: 7
In v1.0: 4

How to install

1. Install WinRar
2. Install ModLoader
3. Start Menu → Search → %appdata% → Enter → .minecraft → bin → minecraft.jar
4. Open with Winrar
5. Delete META-INF
6. Drag all files from my download above into minecraft.jar
7. Run Minecraft

How are you able to install ModLoader before Winrar, but i still reccommend 7zip. You failed, and not an original mod.

What a warm welcome from the community. I guess you never make mistakes?

Oh -- and YOU failed. I clearly said "my first mod" and that I'm a beginner; do you not understand?

And hey, another mod with more ores in it! HOW ORIGINAL!

EDIT: What Dealman said.

Looks good to me as far as I can see, everything I see I like. Keep up the good work

Perhaps you could apply your poisons to weapons? Then below the wear bar on the item you could have a green poison bar, to show when the poison ran out.

As for new weapons... All I can say is try and stick to the minecraft theme? I think you could find a niche in more traditional 'classic minecraft weapons' rarther than adding things like guns and stuff, because that's been done.

best of luck!

I was thinking about that poison idea -- especially for daggers. Thanks for the input!

Finished a new type of sword, Broadswords. Took me awhile cause I'm still a beginner, but I got it done.

Might I suggest branching out and trying some ranged weapons? For example, bows, blowguns, etc.

I was thinking about crossbows, actually. That would be pretty cool.

Well then try it out and see where it takes you

Good idea.
