Minecraft Forums

Thanks for the reply. I am still around and modding, however this mod hasn't gotten very much love over the years. I started work on "More Swords 3" which is a conceptual remake to make the mod more fun and interesting, however this remake has taken a lot longer than I expected. I've recently announced in an update to the main thread that I will be working on More Swords: Legacy, which will be a direct port of the existing version for those who have nostalgia for the current version of the mod. I am hoping to release Legacy some time before the end of June. It will be released on CurseForge, and I will be announcing the update on Twitter when it happens.

I am really sad to hear that the forums will be archived and closed soon. This place played a really important part of my teenage years, and is also partly responsible for me pursuing my interests in software development.

Thanks to everyone for the memories.

Hello everyone o/

With the Minecraft Forums going into an archived state, I felt it was fitting to leave you all with one last update. To start things off, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who used my mods and took a chance on them. I started modding just over 9 years ago, with More Swords being the first one I released publicly. Back then I was a young kid with no programming experience. I've since grown a lot as both a person and a developer. I believe that modding and the Minecraft Forums are both partly responsible for me pursuing the field of Software development, and I am very thankful for that.

Before I end this farewell, I want to announce More Swords: Legacy, which is a new and upcoming project I will be releasing. Legacy is going to be a faithful remake of More Swords 2 for newer versions of the game, along with support for mods like Just Enough Items, and Enchantment Descriptions. I changed a lot of things in More Swords 3, to balance the mod and make the content more interesting. While I stand by those changes and plan to continue working on it, I also understand that some of you just want the nostalgia of the original version. I will be releasing this project to CurseForge when it is ready, and I will be announcing it on Twitter.

If you would like to continue following me and my projects, I have a Twitter and a public Discord server. You can also find all of my mods on CurseForge.

So long everyone, it's been a good run. o/

More Swords Mod provides a magnificent chain of lustrous new swords that expound upon the foundation of Minecraft weaponry. Razor sharp swords of magic as well as stronger, more practical blades!

Downloads:

This mod requires Minecraft Forge, NEI and Waila to run.

Documentation:

Due to the extensive amount of features included within Wawla, I have had to move documentation over to my own website. My site is frequently being updated with the new features, and will reflect the features within the mod as soon as updates are released.

Questions and Answers:

Q: What does this mod do?

A: This mod is an addon for Waila. The purpose of this mod, and Waila, is to give players a tooltip which contains information about the block the player is currently looking at. These mods can be extremely helpful when playing with a heavily modded minecraft modpack. Due to the enormous amount of features within Wawla, I have had to move documentation to my own website.

Q: Will this mod work on servers?
A: Both Wawla and Waila take advantage of client and server code. If Wawla is installed on your server, users that use the Wawla mod will receive much more accurate information. Wawla is a client-side optional mod, meaning that if it is installed on your server, players will not need it to connect, however they will need it if they want to use the features it provides.

Q: When on a server some information is wrong or missing, what's wrong?
A: This is an issue related to how data is synchronized in minecraft. When a player is on a server, the only data given to that player is what the server considers necessary. Because of this, some information may be missing or wrong, if the server does not have this mod installed.

Q: Can you add support for the _______ mod / Can you add _______ feature?
A: I would love to add more support and features. If you have a suggestion make sure to leave it in the comments and I will see what I can do!

Q: What is your stance on mod packs?
A: Please read my section on modpacks.

It's been such a long time since I've checked this place out! So many old faces, and also a lot of new ones x)

For those who haven't met me, or just don't remember, I was 15 when I joined as a moderator for the mapping and modding section in late 2013. I retired in late 2016, almost on the same day I joined! I retired for a few reasons, the biggest being the trouble of balancing life, school, all my mods, and moderating.

A surprising amount has happened in the year or so since I retired. I've launched roughly 25 new mods on CurseForge, and it has basically become my full time job. I've also helped build MCModDev (MMD) Discord server, which currently has over 1700 members. A lot of my work with MMD overlaps what I regularly do with mod development, so It's surprisingly not as big of a time drain as I thought it would be, although it has it's rough spots.

The biggest change of all though, is probably Jared. Him and I started dating seven months ago. I normally don't do long term or serious relationships, in fact this is my first one. So it's all new and weird lol. He's a modder like me, he maintains CraftTweaker and ModTweaker mostly, but also does a bunch of misc stuff. He was once pretty active on here so some of you may know him, wouldn't surprise me if he had an infraction or two ;p

There are currently no hooks allowing you to put your plant in the vanilla flower pot. LexManos has suggested before that this will likely never be added to Forge. As for the model, you need to change the render type. Look in the class of any block which uses that model, and search for something like getRenderType which returns an integer. This is used to change block models in 1.7.10.

Most people dig out the floor of the spawner and place water blocks there. You can use flowing water to push the zombies into a single location. From there, most people will create a water elevator that lifts the mobs up 22-23 blocks and then drop them down. Mobs will automatically jump if they are in water, so if you have a pattern of water and air/sign blocks you can get them to float up without suffocating them. The point of the drop is that it lowers their health to 1 to 2 health, allowing you to hit them with a sword for exp and drops. There are other designs where people use potions of healing or tnt to kill the zombies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you use tutorials.darkhax.net and not the Minecraft Forums?

While the Minecraft Forums has an editor with a lot of features, it lacks some features that are essential to my tutorials. These features being the ability to add code highlights, and the ability to add raw HTML into my posts. The forum editor can also be unreliable if you edit your post a bunch of times. Using my own site also allows me to track how many readers I have, and get a rough idea of what countries they are from.

I have an idea for a tutorial, can you please make it?

I am definitely open to suggestions for tutorials, however it takes a fair bit of time to research and write each tutorial. I also want to avoid basic tutorials like "How to make a new Item" or "How to make a new Stair Block". Another thing I want to avoid is highly specific tutorials that would only be useful to a few people. If you are looking for a tutorial on something weird and new, I am definitely the right person to ask.

What are some of the mods you have worked on?

I currently have an extremely long list of mods that I have worked on, but I do have a few which may be noticeable. Wawla is an addon for Waila and Enchanting Plus which is a new approach to the enchantment table. I also make a few random mods like Additional Banners which adds some new banner designs and Tesla which is a modern approach to a cross mod power API.

How can I help you?

The best way you can help me out is by sharing my tutorials with your friends. By using links to my site in forum post responses and social media you help improve the ranking of my site in various search engines. The more traffic my site gets, the easier it will be to maintain and cover the associated costs. Another way to help me out is to add darkhax.net to your adblock white-list if you use one. The ads on my site are meant to be unobtrusive and family safe. If you really want to support me you can sponsor me on Patreon.

Special Note

If my tutorials help you with your mod, please consider sending me some screenshots of what you added. I is very encouraging as a tutorial writer to directly see how my tutorials are impacting the community. I have already received a few screenshots and shutouts on Twitter and it really fills me with determination. <3

I didn't bring this up earlier, perhaps I should have though. While it's nice to use Curse Voice because it's an in house product, I personally much prefer Discord. While Curse's info-graphic shows Curse as being the better option, we all know that it is highly biased, and doesn't accurately represent any of the alternatives.

• Discord can provide clear audio with up to 30% packet loss.
• Discord has a much cleaner UI, the UI for Curse is cluttered, and filled with a bunch of irrelevant things that make it much harder to navigate.
• Curse chat is really messy, group chats are mixed directly into your contact list, with no intuitive way to separate them. I have been using the favorite feature to have my groups in a different list.
• Discord has been much more open with the community. The actual developers are frequently talking about what they are working on publicly. They even discuss suggestions and feedback on reddit on a near daily basis. Not to mention the entire Bot/API scene which they have been great about. Curse on the other hand is generally a stone wall with little to no discussion about anything. Curse in general is really bad about discussion and feedback, there are several things that nearly every dev asked for during the MC CurseForge beta, and several years later are still in the land of soon(tm).
• Curse Voice seems to have quite a few weird bugs. I have had my muted channel list be cleared twice now since we have made the switch. At this point I have just given up on being able to efficiently use CurseVoice for communicating with others.

While it might be selfish for me to complain about, using Curse Voice for forum communication has been a very negative experience so far. I honestly believe that using IRC was much more efficient.I already have the Curse Voice app installed because of my projects on CurseForge, however I have been trying to use it as little as I possibly can.

MCreator is very limiting in terms of what it will allow you to do. You can probably create this effect by writing the code yourself, however the redstone wire code is in no way simple. If you want to do something complex like redstone wire you should learn how to code and write the mod yourself. If you insist on using MCreator, you will have much better luck using their forums.

Hey, it's me, Tehpillowstar.

I joined the moderation staff back in March 2011. For those bad at math, that was almost five years ago. I was fourteen years old back then, and now I'm nineteen just beginning the rest of my life.

That's a lot of time, and a lot has happened since then. I'm interested in getting introduced to new faces that got brought into the fold after I dropped off the Minecraft Forum grid here, along with getting caught up with the ins and outs and ups and downs with familiar faces that happened during the past few years.

I'd love to to talk more about what's going on with me, but unfortunately it's past midnight and I have a class I gotta get up early for tomorrow, so I'll write up a post explaining about what happened to me another time.

So, what's going on with you guys?
