Looking for Boombox Mod updates? Here's the most recent version, updated by MindKrafter as well as some pretty cool new features. I don't even know what version Minecraft is on any more. Also the lawnmower mod.
I'm not dead; just doing other stuff right now. Take this as an opportunity to learn Java and update my mods for yourself! All code is open source and available in the downloads.

[size=x-small]Install the mod like you would any other (full instructions in download). This mod requires ModLoader. The default block IDs are 230 and 231 but can be changed in the props file. EQ animations can also be disabled in the props file (for people who use MCPatcher for HD texture packs - read the FAQ for more info).[/size]
[size=x-small]Drag your converted music into the folder ...\.minecraft\resources\mod\boombox. Whatever is in that folder will be loaded automatically and the boombox can play them.[/size]
[size=x-small]The boombox by itself plays like a jukebox. Add two speakers to the sides of a boombox (on both sides) and the volume will double (double record volume). Add 4 speakers (2 on each side) and the music will play worldwide. Redstone can be used to toggle (i.e. like a button) music on or off.[/size]
[size=x-small]Enjoy![/size]
[size=x-small]NB: The sound engine Minecraft uses can supposedly stream ogg, wav, mus, xm, s3m and mod files (half of which I've never heard of). In my experience ogg is your safest bet.
[size=small]Conversion Software suggested in this thread:[/size]
For players that use HD textures (ones that specifically require MCPatcher), you'll have to do without EQ animations since MCPatcher screws too much stuff up. This version removes the animated texture and instead has a static image for playing and a static one for not. Of course you can change the textures to any resolution to fit with your texture pack:
64x texture courtesy of steps.
NB: As of 1.1, the normal version above works with HD texture packs. Unless you resize the animated textures, go to the properties file and change "EnableEQAnimations = true" to "EnableEQAnimations = false" and then replace "boombox_static.png" with the HD textures (the 16x ones or the old HD ones will work just fine too).
If you're having problems or questions, check the FAQ first before you ask. If you ask a question that's in the FAQ, don't be offended if I don't answer it.
When will you do shuffle and loop?
Eventually maybe when I'm tired of coding other mods. The code for shuffle is already there.
Could you change the texture to fit my texture pack?/Can I use your texture?
Lolkuro created all skins and textures and anything related to them should be discussed with him.
The music sometimes stutters when playing and/or cuts off prematurely.
This is caused by lag on slow PCs and there's nothing I can do unfortunately. Trying installing OptiFine or freeing up more RAM.
Everything works except the sound. I keep getting "-No Signal-".
Your music is either in the wrong directory or in the wrong format.
The game tells me the music is playing but I don't hear it./ The boombox skips through some/all of my songs.
First, make sure your music volume in the game options is not 0 and that there aren't any strange characters in the song's filename. Also the minecraft sound engine is strangely selective. Try using a different converter. Once I had to convert an mp3 to wav first before ogg and only then did it work.
String index out of range: -1
Try removing any weird numbers or characters from the song titles.
The mod crashes my game.
Possible reasons:
You didn't install ModLoader properly.
There's a conflicting block ID (edit the properties file).
You installed the mod wrong causing textures or such to be in the wrong location.
You're using an HD texture pack (that requires MCPatcher specifically). MCPatcher screws all sorts of stuff up. Use OptiFine instead for HD textures.
The speakers don't seem to work.
You have a mod that edits SoundManager.class. (Portal Gun Mod is known to do that)
It doesn't work.
I won't try to help you troubleshoot if I don't get some details to work with. Either the output(you could use this too)/crash report, ModLoader.txt or at least what other mods you've got installed.

[size=large]The TV Mod[/size]
Right so I've been kinda busy so I didn't get much done on the skills mod thing. As a compensation I'll release the TV mod for beta testing. It's mostly experimental. Instructions are in the download.
Requires ModLoader and xuggler (and you'll probably need to restart when you install it). This mod uses xuggler's native shared libraries to decode video and audio. If your game crashes on placing a TV and you're on a 64bit Windows PC, download this (original page here) and copy it into C:\Program Files\Xuggle (or wherever you have it installed).
Xuggler is really as good as it gets for decoding video in Java. No I will not switch to JMF and no I will not write my own video decoder because you'll drown in bugs if I did.
NB: Go somewhere near the end of this thread to get the old Xuggler installer since apparently now you have to build it yourself.
It's similar to a painting, but should be placed on the block you want the centre of it to be.
Right-click with the remote to play/pause.
Shift + right-click while playing skips to the next video.
Shift + right-click while paused stops. The next time you play, the same video will start.
[size=small]Features:[/size]
Can load an unlimited number of videos in any format as long as they're in the "TV" folder.
Every TV is independent and runs lag-free.
TVs are not affected by ambient lighting.
Every TV remembers what video you were on when you log out.
When a video is over, the next one is auto-played.
Includes a config file where you can edit IDs, screen width, screen height, sound range, enable HD or enable shuffle.
Screen size can be set to up to 16*16 blocks or 4*4 if HD is enabled (you can set it to more, I didn't set a cap, but don't). The video is adapted to fit the chosen size. 16*16 on standard resolution runs better if you're watching from long distances as HD becomes redundant:
[size=small]Known Bugs:[/size]
Remote range is annoyingly short since it uses the same method for entity/block interaction. (like milking a cow or opening a workbench). I plan to make it control anything the cross-hairs are aimed on.
When HD is enabled, sometimes you'll see small lines, dots or other visual artifacts on the screen, though these are rare if the player isn't moving.
Some people get this random memory leak (their RAM usage shoots up when they've been playing a loong video). Since the Java garbage collector takes care of any non-deallocated memory, I can only blame the Xuggler native code. I'll look into it.

[size=large]Skills API[/size]
[size=small]About[/size]
An attempt to turn minecraft into an MMORPG. I should go outside more. Upgraded from this (that kinda sucked) which was in turn built on this (that was used solely by modders trying to merge Minecraft with Terraria and I've never even played Terraria).
It has returned!
[size=small]Mods using the SkillsAPI[/size]
MC++ (WIP)
Generic Skill Pack (download below)
Skills (alphabetical):
Barrage Binding Signet Creeper Blast Healing Breeze Levitate Summon Wolf Super Jump Unrelenting Force
Wanna know what they do? Only one way to find out!
Items:
Generic Skill book (shapeless)
Teaches you all the above skills.
Heritage Amulet
Required for Binding Signet (can trigger it as well).
Mana Potion
The only way to recharge Mana if you're playing on hard (other than dying).
Skill Book is consumed even if it doesn't teach you anything new.
Crash external skill trigger (e.g. from an item).
Incompatibility with the other skills mod (class with the same name).
All fixed. Also "Skill Learnt" is now "Skill Acquired" so people aren't bothered about that whole learnt vs. learned thing. The code is also perfectly clean now.
As of 1.2, the skills bar in the HUD won't show if empty and skills that can't be used will darken. Conditions and the targeting system will come in the next update or something.

Feel free to look at the source code included in the Generic Skill Pack mod for more examples on how to create skills.
[size=large]SteamBikes[/size]
This mod started as my entry for the steampunk contest thing. I only had 2 afternoons to work on it so I left a lot of features out and kept some minor bugs in. The tough part (which is also the part I'm worst at) was the model and the textures and took up about 90% of the time. This is generally less advance than the lawnmower mod. (At first I was gonna do this clockwork mob thing but it would take too long )
The 1.0.0 version includes two bikes, the Maroon Marauder (normal speed, low fuel consumption - ideal for long distance travel) and the Black Widow (texture by Recoded) (high speed and fast acceleration but high fuel consumption too).
Clearly I should stick to modding and leave the video-making to the pros.
That shift+click bug has been fixed and you no longer need a key to mount it. Right-click to mount and LCTRL + Right-click to open the GUI. More animations have been added and now half your fall damage is absorbed by the bike at all times if you're on it. Still no HUD and I don't think I'll code one.
Yeah I kinda stole the idea for the name from ShockAhPI that _303 came up with.
I shot a 20+ min video explaining absolutely everything that took ages to render, then Camtasia decided to screw with me and deleted the thing so I just put the source code with some documentation in the download for now until I re-record it tomorrow.
If there's anything you, Mr. Modder, find hard about modding, tell me and I'll make it easier and add it to the API.
ParAPI includes:
Heads-up Display (HUD) API
Allows you to cleanly and properly render multiple custom HUDs simultaneously.
Animated Textures API
Enables you to create high quality textures, that animate at a speed you decide, in just two lines of code and a single png with any number of frames.
Chat color interface
Lets you manipulate chat strings, both client and server-side, and change the colours of any part of the chat text intuitively and quickly. Useful for NPC text etc.
Auto Block/Item ID Assigner
Have a tiny mod and can't be bothered to make it read the IDs for just a few blocks and items from a props file? ParAPI will handle it for you and get free IDs.
Timer Interface
Adds a tick-based timer system (takes account of lag and game pause) combined with useful methods and an event handling system. A single timer instance could even go on for something like 4 years and reset itself indefinitely. The possibilities are endless. (NBT save coming eventually)
NPC API
Coming soon - Will include AIML-based artificial intelligence and regex + a file format I've developed for speech and interaction. See preview videos (or go on #risucraft and talk to Nova).
Advanced GUI API
Coming soon - See preview videos. Many people say they like the GUI stuff I do so I thought up a system to make it easier.
[size=large]TrackCraft[/size]
Never get lost again! Includes the breadcrumbs mod, flare guns and RC car mod; all of which are done, but not all of which are bug-free enough to release. Main Thread
[size=large]Animated Particles API[/size]
A tool for modders that adds a load of pre-set particle animations to the game that can be used anywhere and at any event. Shouldn't really interest you unless you're a modder. Main Thread
[size=large]Unobtanium - Development ceased[/size] because something similar already exists
This mod adds a block that, when placed, enables all the blocks that it touches directly (and the ones touching those) to actually float. For now the block can be sat on and moved like a boat in any horizontal direction moving the other blocks with it. Completely lag-free. The current structure size limit is 100 blocks but I'll probably make it 1000 on release. This is so that you don't dislodge your entire world if you accidentally place it on the floor.
It was initially intended to be a group of blocks like ship helms and spacecraft steering wheels to move ships and spacecrafts. As you can see there's still quite a few stuff I need to do. C:
[size=large]SwarmCraft[/size]
For those of you who were wondering, I've finished ant colony AI (tile entities ftw) and have moved on to doing beehives. Will release eventually.
[size=large]The Lawn Mower Mod[/size]
This is the beginning of what is to be a suite of gardening tools/vehicles. I intended to release this after 1.8 but though I might as well let out a little something before 1.8.
[size=large]Tiny Mods that don't fit anywhere[/size]
[size=medium]The Soul Transfer Staff[/size]
Thursday, August 11th 2011
In my quest for knowledge on this desolate island I came across a truly strange material. Apparently it's called "Netherrack" and contains a high proportion of organic material. Sometimes it seems almost alive, taking on properties of the infamous "Soul Sand".
One night at my workbench, I came across an intriguing discovery; crafting a block of netherrack atop two wooden sticks, the same way one would craft a shovel, creates an item that has a strange effect on a person's body. It seems to channel my life force towards the end of the staff, giving me the ability to turn any normal block into netherrack while causing my body physical damage. Just what does this imply about the origin of the netherrack?
Alas, this was not it's most outstanding characteristic. I faintly recall attempting to use it on a chicken (or other mob), after which my memory is in fragments. I remember seeing myself through different eyes and my normal movements were but a reflection. I was left in confusion after leaving this state of mental turmoil only by pressing "R" on the keyboard. The experience has changed me forever, in a way I cannot describe in my humble log book.
Basically, when you die it creates a gravestone on the ground beneath you. The orientation depends on which way the player was looking when they died. The gravestone sign text can be customised in the props file.
It started out as an SMP mod but then I realised just how stupid it would be to have this in SMP. Also the gravestones used to be really fancy and customisable but then they got awkwardly big so now it's just a mossy cobblestone block with a customisable sign.
This was coded for madcrazydrumma's "Space Realm" mod (no info on that thus far) and since it's mostly a prototype, it's far from anything releasable in either his, or my space-themed mod (more info on that later). Basically just a fancier way to fly. I meant to make fuel GUI at some point and maybe will eventually maybe.
And then you fly around. The mod is a single class file. Sounds were recorded by yours truly.
I've finished this SMP mod back during 1.7.3 called "PKTrading" (some cosmetic changes in the 1.8.1 version) based off of this. Basically a player requests to trade with you (or vice versa) and you get a little notification sound,
And once you accept you get the trading screen.
The screen updates in real-time for both players. Once the trader or tradee is happy, they can lock their offer
and only when both parties have locked their offers does the accept button enable.
Then both players accept and the items are exchanged along with the successful trade sound.
That mod pretty much prevents players from being dishonest when drop trading. I also wanna expand it into a full on currency system with a dynamic currency dependant on supply and demand of items instead of fixing prices. Maybe then we can even see servers suffer from market crashes induced by the real-estate market. xD
I've decided to release this for testing because running a server and two clients on my poor netbook kills my ram. I know that there's this occasional frequent item duping bug but maybe I can get behind it after testing:
There's also my super awesome secret mod that I'm working on though. I don't normally tell people about my bigger projects so I don't feel obliged to finish them.
If you liked any of the aforementioned (or even if you don't) comment on this thread! Do it now. I'll wait for you. Go on, do it.

I still think the Breadcrumbs mod is a clever idea. My opinion on that didn't change since 1.5_01.
But the reason why I tracked down this thread is because I'm trying to learn how to create light-emitting items/equipment for my mod. I remembered just earlier that your breadcrumbs emitted some light and decided to check it out to hopefully find a lead that would help me reach my goal. What a nice surprise it was to see that all your mods are open source. Really makes the learning process easier. Thank you for that.
I might be able to create my Sword of Light after all.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Better Than Wolves Mod WARNING: May cause addiction and/or skull detonation. Handle with care.
I remember somebody made a "dynamic lighting" mod and made it work for carrying torches around. Dunno if that's still being updated. :tongue.gif:
I checked and it is updated. But that's not all, the author already created a merged file for compatibility with the Forge API and the whole thing is open source. How awesome can it get? Theoretically, I think I'll just need to assign my sword of light as some sort of custom torch and BAM! Light when equipped or dropped on the ground.
Thanks for the hint, Paraknight!
Edit: Your breadcrumbs mod changed a lot more than I expected. I remember I had to stop using the old version for compatibility reasons, but this new version is base-clean. You also got new textures and a new method for calculating the drop rate of the crumbs. (I think it was previously on a timer and now it's based on the walking distance?) Not to mention the way we pick the crumbs back and the activation messages. Very nice job.
Your friendly neighborhood Kingpin here...
Just dropping a line to say: Fantastic work! Being a fairly new modder, i was most intrigued by the Particle API project. Will that be updated anytime in the future? Is it usable now? Im sure i will learn quite a bit from it either way.
Alright, I tried it The 2 speaker works but when I add the other 2 It doesn't play world wide, Doesent do anything at all.
EDIT: but other then that Its awesome and I'm probably gonna recommend this to all my friends
Ouch. D: Do you have any other mods installed? Also the right version of modloader installed, right?
Try adding the speakers first and then playing. Would it play worldwide then?
Alright I reopened minecraft and placed the 2 blocks before I played a song, And then I started a song and it wont, I have 1.8.1 Modloader and the 1.8.1 Audiomod too.
I have the blocks placed like this Is it correct or does it have to be someplace else?
Also sometimes when Its done playing a song ( somtimes) it will just cycle through them, And I have to restart minecraft to play them again.
The speakers above or below don't affect it; try like this:
Also I'm checking to see what that cycling problem could be. It could be that the songs that can't be played anyway get skipped (like wrong format and such). I'll take a look.
Ok, I did it your way
But know it WONT play any music at all, It says now playing[Songtitle] But it doesent actually play it my songs is is .ogg format, Also when I put the speakers back to 2 and reopen minecraft the music plays again.
Edit: also, I'm kinda confused how the redstone torch and/or botton is suppose to do I placed it on the bottom plank and it did nothing.. My music still played and such
I think I'll release another version without any fancy features while I try to fix all these bugs. Please bear with me. :L
No rush and just letting you know I get the same result [Now playing:Ethiopia] then it goes click click click click -Random double click- click it is .ogg file
-edit- Fixed I just noticed there was a FAQ haha I had to convert into wave instead
Hey, thanks for the update. The new features are awesome!
Here's my findings so far:
As per your suggestion the speakers will play worlwide if they are placed before playing any music, although after closing minecraft and restarting there is no sound. (need to destroy speakers and boombox and replace to hear music again)
Redstone seemed to work fine also, attatched to back of boombox and ran to a lever (sweet), haven't tested with buttons yet as i'm tired and need to hit the sack but will test some more in the morning.
Other than that i'm sure you will iron out the the few small bugs, Good job!
Once Optifine updates I will make a new video, (1.8.1 is still a bit laggy on my poor old pc)
I also made a new banner but it didn't resize to well, I will fix it up in the morning and post the code)
As it turns out the reason behind the block not rendering right was Zombe's mod pack v 4.36, it apparently was affecting custom block rendering (my guess), so I updated to v4.37 and its all good now.
Cycling is persistent though, no matter the format or number of speakers.

- Remote range is annoyingly short since it uses the same method for entity/block interaction. (like milking a cow or opening a workbench). I plan to make it control anything the cross-hairs are aimed on.
- When HD is enabled, sometimes you'll see small lines, dots or other visual artifacts on the screen, though these are rare if the player isn't moving.
- Some people get this random memory leak (their RAM usage shoots up when they've been playing a loong video). Since the Java garbage collector takes care of any non-deallocated memory, I can only blame the Xuggler native code. I'll look into it.

[size=medium]FAQ[/size]
If you're having problems or questions, check the FAQ first before you ask. If you ask a question that's in the FAQ, don't be offended if I don't answer it.
Possible reasons:
- You didn't install ModLoader properly.
- There's are conflicting item IDs (edit the properties file).
- You installed the mod wrong causing textures or such to be in the wrong location.
- You didn't install xuggler properly.
- You're on a 64-bit Windows computer and didn't patch xuggler properly.
It doesn't work.I won't try to help you troubleshoot if I don't get some details to work with. Either the output(you could use this too)/crash report, ModLoader.txt or at least what other mods you've got installed.
I noticed your source code is in the download. May I use all/part of it without having to worry about copyright?
Yes; it's open source, but ask me first.
Feel free to inform me about any bugs or give feedback. Also screenshots or anything else is always appreciated.

[size=small]About[/size]
An attempt to turn minecraft into an MMORPG. I should go outside more. Upgraded from this (that kinda sucked) which was in turn built on this (that was used solely by modders trying to merge Minecraft with Terraria and I've never even played Terraria).
It has returned!

All fixed. Also "Skill Learnt" is now "Skill Acquired" so people aren't bothered about that whole learnt vs. learned thing. The code is also perfectly clean now.Crash on death and sleep.All skills are forgotten on respawn.Skill Book is consumed even if it doesn't teach you anything new.Crash external skill trigger (e.g. from an item).Incompatibility with the other skills mod (class with the same name).As of 1.2, the skills bar in the HUD won't show if empty and skills that can't be used will darken. Conditions and the targeting system will come in the next update or something.

[size=large]SteamBikes[/size]
This mod started as my entry for the steampunk contest thing. I only had 2 afternoons to work on it so I left a lot of features out and kept some minor bugs in. The tough part (which is also the part I'm worst at) was the model and the textures and took up about 90% of the time. This is generally less advance than the lawnmower mod. (At first I was gonna do this clockwork mob thing but it would take too long
The 1.0.0 version includes two bikes, the Maroon Marauder (normal speed, low fuel consumption - ideal for long distance travel) and the Black Widow (texture by Recoded) (high speed and fast acceleration but high fuel consumption too).

Clearly I should stick to modding and leave the video-making to the pros.
That shift+click bug has been fixed and you no longer need a key to mount it. Right-click to mount and LCTRL + Right-click to open the GUI. More animations have been added and now half your fall damage is absorbed by the bike at all times if you're on it. Still no HUD and I don't think I'll code one.
Oh and I was inspired by this.

[size=large]ParAPI[/size]
Yeah I kinda stole the idea for the name from ShockAhPI that _303 came up with.
I shot a 20+ min video explaining absolutely everything that took ages to render, then Camtasia decided to screw with me and deleted the thing so I just put the source code with some documentation in the download for now until I re-record it tomorrow.
If there's anything you, Mr. Modder, find hard about modding, tell me and I'll make it easier and add it to the API.
ParAPI includes:
Heads-up Display (HUD) API
- Allows you to cleanly and properly render multiple custom HUDs simultaneously.
Animated Textures API
- Enables you to create high quality textures, that animate at a speed you decide, in just two lines of code and a single png with any number of frames.
Chat color interface
- Lets you manipulate chat strings, both client and server-side, and change the colours of any part of the chat text intuitively and quickly. Useful for NPC text etc.
Auto Block/Item ID Assigner
- Have a tiny mod and can't be bothered to make it read the IDs for just a few blocks and items from a props file? ParAPI will handle it for you and get free IDs.
Timer Interface
- Adds a tick-based timer system (takes account of lag and game pause) combined with useful methods and an event handling system. A single timer instance could even go on for something like 4 years and reset itself indefinitely. The possibilities are endless. (NBT save coming eventually)
NPC API
- Coming soon - Will include AIML-based artificial intelligence and regex + a file format I've developed for speech and interaction. See preview videos (or go on #risucraft and talk to Nova).
Advanced GUI API
- Coming soon - See preview videos. Many people say they like the GUI stuff I do so I thought up a system to make it easier.

Never get lost again! Includes the breadcrumbs mod, flare guns and RC car mod; all of which are done, but not all of which are bug-free enough to release.

[size=large]Animated Particles API[/size]
A tool for modders that adds a load of pre-set particle animations to the game that can be used anywhere and at any event. Shouldn't really interest you unless you're a modder.
Main Thread
[size=large]Unobtanium - Development ceased[/size] because something similar already exists
This mod adds a block that, when placed, enables all the blocks that it touches directly (and the ones touching those) to actually float. For now the block can be sat on and moved like a boat in any horizontal direction moving the other blocks with it. Completely lag-free. The current structure size limit is 100 blocks but I'll probably make it 1000 on release. This is so that you don't dislodge your entire world if you accidentally place it on the floor.
It was initially intended to be a group of blocks like ship helms and spacecraft steering wheels to move ships and spacecrafts. As you can see there's still quite a few stuff I need to do. C:

For those of you who were wondering, I've finished ant colony AI (tile entities ftw) and have moved on to doing beehives. Will release eventually.

This is the beginning of what is to be a suite of gardening tools/vehicles. I intended to release this after 1.8 but though I might as well let out a little something before 1.8.

[size=medium]The Soul Transfer Staff[/size]
In my quest for knowledge on this desolate island I came across a truly strange material. Apparently it's called "Netherrack" and contains a high proportion of organic material. Sometimes it seems almost alive, taking on properties of the infamous "Soul Sand".
One night at my workbench, I came across an intriguing discovery; crafting a block of netherrack atop two wooden sticks, the same way one would craft a shovel, creates an item that has a strange effect on a person's body. It seems to channel my life force towards the end of the staff, giving me the ability to turn any normal block into netherrack while causing my body physical damage. Just what does this imply about the origin of the netherrack?
Alas, this was not it's most outstanding characteristic. I faintly recall attempting to use it on a chicken (or other mob), after which my memory is in fragments. I remember seeing myself through different eyes and my normal movements were but a reflection. I was left in confusion after leaving this state of mental turmoil only by pressing "R" on the keyboard. The experience has changed me forever, in a way I cannot describe in my humble log book.

[size=medium]The Gravestone Mod[/size]
It started out as an SMP mod but then I realised just how stupid it would be to have this in SMP. Also the gravestones used to be really fancy and customisable but then they got awkwardly big so now it's just a mossy cobblestone block with a customisable sign.

And once you accept you get the trading screen.
The screen updates in real-time for both players. Once the trader or tradee is happy, they can lock their offer
and only when both parties have locked their offers does the accept button enable.
Then both players accept and the items are exchanged along with the successful trade sound.
That mod pretty much prevents players from being dishonest when drop trading. I also wanna expand it into a full on currency system with a dynamic currency dependant on supply and demand of items instead of fixing prices. Maybe then we can even see servers suffer from market crashes induced by the real-estate market. xD
I've decided to release this for testing because running a server and two clients on my poor netbook kills my ram. I know that there's this
occasionalfrequent item duping bug but maybe I can get behind it after testing:PKTrading Beta for MC B1.8.1

There's also my super awesome secret mod that I'm working on though. I don't normally tell people about my bigger projects so I don't feel obliged to finish them.
If you liked any of the aforementioned (or even if you don't) comment on this thread! Do it now. I'll wait for you. Go on, do it.
I hide Easter eggs in my mods. I bet you won't find them.
I still think the Breadcrumbs mod is a clever idea. My opinion on that didn't change since 1.5_01.
But the reason why I tracked down this thread is because I'm trying to learn how to create light-emitting items/equipment for my mod. I remembered just earlier that your breadcrumbs emitted some light and decided to check it out to hopefully find a lead that would help me reach my goal. What a nice surprise it was to see that all your mods are open source. Really makes the learning process easier. Thank you for that.
I might be able to create my Sword of Light after all.
Better Than Wolves Mod WARNING: May cause addiction and/or skull detonation. Handle with care.
I checked and it is updated. But that's not all, the author already created a merged file for compatibility with the Forge API and the whole thing is open source. How awesome can it get? Theoretically, I think I'll just need to assign my sword of light as some sort of custom torch and BAM! Light when equipped or dropped on the ground.
Thanks for the hint, Paraknight!
Edit: Your breadcrumbs mod changed a lot more than I expected. I remember I had to stop using the old version for compatibility reasons, but this new version is base-clean. You also got new textures and a new method for calculating the drop rate of the crumbs. (I think it was previously on a timer and now it's based on the walking distance?) Not to mention the way we pick the crumbs back and the activation messages. Very nice job.

Curse PremiumJust dropping a line to say: Fantastic work! Being a fairly new modder, i was most intrigued by the Particle API project. Will that be updated anytime in the future? Is it usable now? Im sure i will learn quite a bit from it either way.

Retired StaffCheck out my Minecraft Modding Tutorials!
I love all these the API is helping me out so much.
Many thanks man :smile.gif:
Yay thanks Imma test it know.
EDIT: but other then that Its awesome and I'm probably gonna recommend this to all my friends
Alright I reopened minecraft and placed the 2 blocks before I played a song, And then I started a song and it wont, I have 1.8.1 Modloader and the 1.8.1 Audiomod too.
Also sometimes when Its done playing a song ( somtimes) it will just cycle through them, And I have to restart minecraft to play them again.
Ok, I did it your way
Edit: also, I'm kinda confused how the redstone torch and/or botton is suppose to do I placed it on the bottom plank and it did nothing.. My music still played and such
No rush and just letting you know I get the same result [Now playing:Ethiopia] then it goes click click click click -Random double click- click it is .ogg file
-edit- Fixed I just noticed there was a FAQ haha I had to convert into wave instead
Here's my findings so far:
As per your suggestion the speakers will play worlwide if they are placed before playing any music, although after closing minecraft and restarting there is no sound. (need to destroy speakers and boombox and replace to hear music again)
Redstone seemed to work fine also, attatched to back of boombox and ran to a lever (sweet), haven't tested with buttons yet as i'm tired and need to hit the sack but will test some more in the morning.
Other than that i'm sure you will iron out the the few small bugs, Good job!
Once Optifine updates I will make a new video, (1.8.1 is still a bit laggy on my poor old pc)
I also made a new banner but it didn't resize to well, I will fix it up in the morning and post the code)
Cheers :smile.gif:
Cycling is persistent though, no matter the format or number of speakers.
I shall send Crawlers after you!
