So here we are over two years later... Let me explain with what's been going on for anyone who saw this post when I created it... The end of April 2012 I started working on an RPG mod, The Precursor. I got a lot done, mainly with GUI and starting on actual content. In July 2012 my dad was having a pancreatic cancer scare, but it came clean. In October 2012 he was getting a stint replaced in his liver, and they found something abnormal. They tested him again for pancreatic cancer, and it came out positive. On December 28th, 2012, my dad passed away from Pancreatic Cancer.
From the day he was tested the first time, my modding days slowed down drastically. Then the second time he got tested, my times modding stopped completely. From the time my dad passed away, I completely stopped playing Minecraft. I then finished out my Senior year of high school, started my college schooling for Computer Science in Computer Programming. At the end of my freshman year of college, my mom and I decided to move half way across the country; From North Dakota, all the way to Maine, I just moved in. Now I want to start my new life by finishing the project I've always wanted to finish. The Precursor. I haven't played Minecraft in a very long time, and modding seems to be completely different from back in the day. I'll be using Minecraft Forge instead of ModLoader, so I'll have to relearn modding. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I'm incredibly sorry for anyone who wanted to play this mod, I'll do my best to get this finished ASAP
Thanks,Muserae
What is The Precursor?
The Precursor is an RPG mod based around skilling and unlocking. The goal of the mod is to give the community what they want by taking in and considering any suggestion that is given. Not only that, but most content will be given a vote to make sure it's what the community wants.
Player Stats
Player's Health. The Player will die once this meter runs out.
Player's Armor. This meter shows how much protection the Player has.
Player's Mana. The Player will be able to cast magic as long as they have mana.
Player's Stamina. This allows the Player to sprint as apposed to being based off of hunger.
Basic Elements
Harnessing the power of Water will allow the player to breathe underwater and swim at faster speeds.
Harnessing the power of Air will allow the player to double jump.
Harnessing the power of Earth will allow the player to run faster on land.
Harnessing the power of Fire will allow the player to swim in lava and be immune to fire damage.
Everything in Spoiler is out-dated and not guaranteed as of now

The information on the elf was just added by me. We haven't discussed all the perks and what not yet, so that might change. There will be better mining and what not, but that will be a talent. Talents will have 1 race specific, and the rest can be used by all races.

i think goblins should have a melee bonus but a ranged debuff
i think elfs should have ranged bonus but a melee debuff
and the dwarfs good at mining bad at combat
and the humans should be balanced
Alright, added a poll, please vote for which element image you like the best. They're all for air.
I've also added some more screenshots. Instead of just the Race select, there's not ones of the element select and the character stats.
This looks very interesting, I wish I could be of help - either way I wish you the best of luck! Personally I'd love to see a bigger list of available Races and/or Professions(Or Talents, or whatever you call them...) that's the kind of thing that really gets my attention, especially a big variety of professions!
As the mod gets developed, that will most likely be more races and what not. As of now, when it's only been a week old, it's going to stay with just a few races
Ya, I had finals Friday, Monday and today so I was studying and junk so I haven't done anything for awhile. Right now I'm working on a shop and the profession system.

Elves should keep their melee, and lose mining.
Dwarves shouldn't lose too much combat either.
great mod idea!
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
If FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace was destroyed, 90% of teens would die. If you're in the 10% that would be laughing, copy this into your sig and hope it happens.
Profession:
- Hunter - Strong against hostile mobs
- Outlaw/Barbarian - Strong against humans (Maybe for multiplayer or in-game characters)
- Trader - Better trades (Maybe can be used with the upcoming update or if you add in-game characters that can trade)
- Engineer - Resistance to TNT (Maybe they can make special items like a cannon or something)
- Knight/Guard - Extra defence
- Assassin - Chance to poison whoever they are attacking
Development has kind of been halted for now. Lot of stuff going on in life right now. I'll be doing more development as soon as the Mod API comes out, but I will also try and do more before that also.
Oh man, i'm coding for an RPG mod >.< Haha, this sounds great though, you are a lot farther developed than me

Herobrine is a cultural item, just like any mythological creature. I am a firm believer of the Herobrine mythologies, and I listen to anyone's interpretations of his meanings. Yes he isn't real, Yes the mythology IS real, and yes many people believe his stories.

Retired StaffYes. It's being coded in singleplayer right now. The beta tests will probably be in singleplayer, and once working fine, move it over to multiplayer.

Okay awesome.
2 looks like a twister/tornado/wind so it seems the closest.
3 looks like sound waves.
Elves should keep their melee, and lose mining.
Dwarves shouldn't lose too much combat either.
great mod idea!
