I was thinking about different tiers of bottles, like a 'Holy Bottle' and a 'Cursed Bottle' that are obtainable in special ways. I know that your process of thinking comes directly from logic. However, ghasts are not real, and if they were, I doubt you'd be able to catch them in a bottle. The 'Bottled Ghast' is making an allusion to my favorite childhod game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the game, you can capture spirits called 'Poes' in empty bottles.
I figured something like that would fit the semi-realistic environment of Minecraft. I probably won't be changing the way ghasts are captured (aside from possible tweaking), but I will definitely have a couple different tiers of bottle.
Thanks for the feedback!
You could always implement a "bug-catching net" (homage LttP)? Because to be honest, I still can't catch ghasts in a bottle; it might just be the combination of mods I'm using (probably also the reason I can stack bottles) or the eternal gaming issue that I'm using a mac.
Contact me through my website so I can get your email. If you are up for it, I would love if you could be my texture maker for my mods. I am glad you played around with them. Shows you like the idea. I would like to take that one step further and see where we can get these mods. I am not very good at textures so help is always appreciated. Let me know what you think and we can see if we can get these textures to a point where they really add a lot to the mod
Haha, I'm honored but I'm not a texture maker, I'm just a guy who likes playing around with the sprites. However, I can try to help out when I can! As I said before, I really like the premise behind the mod and I would love to help it grow as far as my ability permits.
I ran into a little issue while piling this with Infernal Mobs. I think PoisonAspect caused this;

It super sucks because my world is sort of lost right now (as in, it's not displaying/can't load it). It's alright though, haha.
Wait.. do you have mob amputation/dismember installed? Because if you hit a gib with poison or slow it crashes the game... this I can confirm. I say this because I've been using PoisonAspect on my weapon and dealing with the Infernal mobs just fine...
Guess who did some texture work. I made them just a little cooler. It was a simple change but I think the effect it adds is really amazing. Give it a look if you don't mind, I would like to hear what you think and if they look a little more powerful
I really, REALLY like the improvement. Funny how just changing the blade color to black added such a dark, forbidden, soul-forged look.. problem is now you're gonna have to play with the "wither" variant of the Vulcan sword for a bit
I thought I'd play around with your textures (no offense intended, they were just so enthralling I wanted to get a closer look :P) and see if I could make it look even more "revenge-y". I compiled a few of screenies for some amusement here:(http://imgur.com/a/Hf8Ux)
In the end, I couldn't get the look I wanted but I'll try again some more tomorrow.
Don't get me wrong! The blade look great at the moment. I was just experimenting around is all.
Still balancing it, the sword needs more powers and the process needs to be harder. In my opinion. Which is why I released it to get some feedback from more people. What do you think I should do to make it less tame?
Well first thing you need to do is get that video working or get some screenshots cause I still barely have an idea what this mod is about (something about finding pieces of a sword then putting it together in a separate GUI to create a slightly colored iron sword?).
And I was talking about the sword sprite when I said 'tame', I haven't installed the mod itself, just peeked at the sprites. Don't get me wrong, I love the minimalist default look (no sarcasm intended, I really do love that sword sprite) but I just feel for a sword that is supposed all-powerful, lusted after by thieves and created by the world's best vengeful blacksmith, it should look a bit more that an iron sword. Just my opinion!
That said, I enjoy treasure hunting for relics and if your mod can deliver, I'll be your best customer.
Zombies/Skeletons/Wither Skeletons/Zombie Pigmen now have a inventory 100% identical to the player.
Wait... are you telling me that if I went through the work of enchanting a diamond sword with Sharpness V, all mobs now have my extremely sharp diamond sword as well !?
Guess I'll be fighting with my trusty wooden shovel from now on.
There is a surprising number of mods that add new mobs in the game and a surprising lack of mods that add improvements to the already existing ones. Nothing beats smashing a creeper in the face and I'm glad your Special Mobs mod breathes new life into that notion. Can't wait for this to update to 1.6.2/4!
I think the artifact variation count is up over 67 million! It's really hard to estimate though, due to the non-consistent nature of the various effects (i.e. some have one trigger, most have three, two have 4+).
I'm loving me some new artifacts! Haven't found a tower yet but I am using your mod in tandem with the Plunder Rummage mod http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1775798-162003-plunder-rummage-forge-9100dynamic-treasure-hunting/) and they feel like they're made for each other!
In summary, while I'm exploring the world, I find a map. The map points me to some coords and voila! a chest. Inside has a couple diamonds, nuggets and one of your unique artifacts (specifically one that strikes lightning at poor cows)! Now that's what I call a shockingly good haul! (I'm sorry.)
I'm using his customizable loot tables but have you considered "official" mod support? Just my humble opinion
You can customize the loot tables. If you want to add some more loot to the default set, feel free to send me the files and I'll put them into the printer.
Oh I understand about the loot tables, I was just wondering if you were thinking of adding more custom items (e.g. uncrafting table)? I mean, diamonds and gold are good and all but I can find them in any cave worth a damn... treasure hunts would feel more exciting if I was hunting some thing really awesome. Just my opinion!
Works fine, but no biome mods have used my API. I asked one of them and they started to act interested, but I haven't heard back. BIomes added by other mods will use default generator.
Default generator meaning the chest would just appear near listed coordinates right? Also any thoughts on adding more loot?
Spent the first few days punching trees, wandering the world and experimenting with crafting. I would hide in the walls at night, holding my head, praying the moans outside would stop. I tried going out and facing my fears once.. next thing I know, I'm in the middle of nowhere, in the dark with nothing.
I decided to make a massive dirt castle with a tower that reached up into the clouds. I dubbed it "Tower of Ambi" in hopes that where ever I was in the world, I would see the tower and know how to find home.
I obviously didn't understand chunk rendering back then.
When I died, I checked the skyline and saw nothing but clouds. I never found the Tower of Ambi again.

Great Job !

Speaking of loot... have you checked out this mod: (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1993264-162-unique-artifacts-powerful-randomly-generated-items/)? I feel like both of your mods would go great hand in hand (well I know they go well, I'm using them together with your loot tables ;)). Perhaps you should consider "official" mod support?

Any screenshots of the sword?EDIT: Just downloaded it and took a peek. Surprisingly tame for a legendary sword someone is willing to die for.
