This is nowhere near completed, I'm looking for someone to make a banner and textures for the mod along with a nice title image for this thread. Also I need any ideas you guys have for machines, blocks, ores and items. The current items and blocks may not reflect what's written in this thread. For the most up to date list check the creative mode inventory.
No offense intended, but this is incredibly similar to what others have done.
If it is your first go at a mod, then more power to you, I will help if you would like me to.
Other then that, I do have a few recommendations:
Numero Uno!: Less ores, most definitely. Because yes, sometimes more is better, but it looks a bit intimidating, and kind of like it would lag out any regular minecraft player's comp.
Numero Dos!: More emphasis on the mechanics, like special tools that have some pretty animations/awesome purposes. I saw the Grinder and Red Sandstone, and THOSE are two things I would like to see emphasized. Red rock city without a texture pack? Aww yiss.
Numero Tres!: Feel free to disregard what I say! I am not you/a modder, nor do I possess any knowledge of coding (except if x=y, then z), so always go with what your head and heart agree on.
Yeah, I would like to help in any way possible, so feel free to bother me and PM me at any time. I can texture, take really pretty screenies, and MAYBE enlist my gf's help with the banners. She has that kind of knowledge.
No offence taken at all, this is exactly the kind of comments I'm looking for.
1. The reason there are so many ores is I'm planning on adding a load of machines that'll use them all, including the grinder which once you get dusts of them all you can mix using another machine and get all different kinds of elemental ingots which are used in other machines, etc. You get the point. Also there's almost no lag from having added these, having blocks in the game doesn't add to the lag, only machines running does. Well from what I've tested at least.
2. Coloured sandstone and coloured chests depending on the wood type are some of the main things I really wanted to add once I started on this and hopefully they'll be the thing that makes this stand out from the other "ore" mods.
3. I actually only added these things as a base to get the mod started and get my coding skills up to scratch with 1.6.2 as I was use to modding on 1.4.7 from memory or even before that. Oh, I mean beta 1.4.7.
If you could inbox me about some textures that'd help SO much as I could get the first release out for testing.
Hokay.
So my suggestion is this:
Take a look at, and evaluate, the various popular mods out there (Biomes o'Plenty, Industrialcraft, Thaumcraft, etc;.) and try to find something that they haven't done, or haven't expanded on satisfactorily on.
And when I was talking of colored sandstone, I was thinking of something like naturally found sandstone in colors OTHER than light tanny-brown, like the big 'ole rock in Australia (which I don't think is sandstone, but I am not a genius here, so don't judge me).
